Mint is good for gaming and simple for most people but there are other distros which run newer versions of software or/and has more access to software. I generally use distros based on arch, such as EndeavourOS with the caveat that they sometimes break.

Yeah it is a proven tech but requires quite a lot of space/weight and usually when satellites get the most energy from solar panels they also “generate” the most heat.

Energy is the least of their concerns, getting rid of the heat is a much bigger problem.

Thank you so much for your insightful reply, the last part hits quite hard and gives me atleast a good idea of how it is on the other side of the pond. I really hope for all of yours sake that it gets better one way or the other.

I just want to know, how are you feeling non Trump US citizens with eveything that has happened so far? I can’t even think of how I would react if my prime minister started spewing out even a quarter of the things Trump says or does. (not that the current government of Sweden is great)
