Nice review. I’m loving my FW13 AMD. Just reinstalled Mint over the top of Ubuntu and it seems to be working fine.

You mean Adrian? He’s an odd duck and I wouldn’t take his choices at this level as anything other than some obscure tiny performance improvement.

My issue with RPM is even the official packages didn’t put files where the standard they wrote said. Admittedly I haven’t used an RPM distro in 20 years so it’s possible things have changed.

Suck it up and learn Debian and why .deb > .rpm.
