Interesting reading to try to get into the mind of a left thinker voting extreme right. Although I didn't share such opinion, his argument sounds like "I don't trust/like my government, so, let's support Hitler to do some opposition with the hope that he won't be too powerful to enforce his policies what I don't share". Historically that doesn't end well and it sounds really naive.

if you're not paying for it, do you actually get to demand anything? (Obviously yes, but we still need some boundaries)

Wrong!! Obviously no. You're not entitled to demand anything. You can ask politely.

You don't like the project? Go and use another alternative.

There is no alternative? Go and write your own.

You don't have the skills? Go and pay somebody with the skills. And if you want the most skilled for the job, probably is the person maintaining that project that you don't like but still keep using for free.

if I go to a guy’s place, I’m not gonna be inclined to get into his bed if he “won” the bed-making argument with his parents and stuck with that philosophy ever since

Wow, this is just a relief!!!

This is actually a good argument: not making your bed will keep away some unpleasant and judging "friends"

I was thinking the same, were they expecting / provoking that reaction just for the clicks? That's my deduction of the person recording so clear without any try to help.

Conclusion after reading the comments: the country information is very relevant!! In Germany tailgating is forbidden, and is also driving in the middle lane. It is forbidden to pass using the right lane in highways. In USA I remember the recommendation was different, try to stay in your lane, they considered the constant change of lanes more dangerous than passing using the right lane.

Moral of the story: Don't judge without the complete information.

Well, that's true in my case. Years of using Ubuntu, and finally I decided to move to Mint when they FORCED firefox to run via snap. I followed some guides to download firefox with apt and disable the snap version, and somehow Ubuntu ended up using snap again without my authorization. Also snap was not able to read/write /tmp folder, which I used a lot. Flatpak doesn't have that problem.

So, yes, I recommend mint, for me it has the best of Ubuntu and fixes exactly what I didn't like.

The Ubuntu user base is huge and helpful, and almost all of that applies directly to Mint.
