After more annoyances that Gnome/RedHat is pulling lately ( gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita… ), I just donated to #Linux #Mint, instead of my original intention, #Gnome.
The Gnome Project is a wall-garden, but not of the Apple kind. It's a club of mostly #Redhat programmers & a few select others, and either you're in it, or you're not. Your user needs, your bug reports, your patches, all end up on /dev/null. They listen to no one. Never have, never will.
So, my money went to a fork.
Symbolic icons only have the `-symbolic` suffix, breaking compatibility with FDO-compatible apps (#288) · Issues · GNOME / adwaita-icon-theme · GitLab
[Here I use the copy icon as an example, but the issue affects everything] The Adwaita icon theme has an icon-named edit-copy-symbolic for its copy...GitLab
Just bought a #DELL 3190 laptop, new for $150 (11.6" screen, 64GB eMMC). It's fully supported on #Linux, and even if it has a Celeron N4120 CPU and only 4 GB of RAM, it'll work fine with #Mint, or #XFCE (and #Gnome/ #KDE if you don't mind some minor lag). Not opening too many browser tabs will ensure that the swap file won't get used too often.
If you're on a tight budget this is a good option, as it also has great battery life too at 10 hours with Linux.
