Like putting a typo in the title. It’s to hook people in who wouldn’t otherwise engage by voting and replying.
That said, I have two thoughts:

• it’s probably just instance drift causing posts not to show up, and
• this is Lemmy, who cares about artificial engagement?

Yes but you don’t need it. WSL2 comes with WSLg these days, and can draw to your Windows desktop without an external graphical server.

Two points: Mint has a Debian version (LMDE), but also base Debian, especially the KDE flavor, has made enormous gains in beginner friendliness.

Specifically Linux Mint Debian Edition

Sideloading is a perfectly good word for a legitimate act.
It’s not “just installing software on a computer”. It’s installing software on a tethered device.
Don’t let them twist the word’s meaning in order to demonize people.

Okay Solar panel of… Hang on.
Okay Solaire of A… hm, robot pun, there’s got to be something… ASUStora? SoLLMaire? SolAIre? There it is.

Okay SolAIre of Astora, calm down

25.10 isn’t on the main upgrade path. Serious users migrate to the new LTS every two years, and very serious users pay for the twelve-year support plan.

Furthermore, 25.10 is a short-term release that exists as a preview for 26.04. 25.10 will receive security patches for nine months. 26.04, as an LTS, will receive security patches for up to 12 years (most of which are paid). Nobody should be seriously migrating to 25.10.
If coreutils-rs does get into the official release of 25.10 and totally tanks it, well, that’s what short-term releases are for.

I’m sure the quality is nice but I’m just gonna scribble Tux in with sharpie.

Vnc is tried and true

Yeah. And if nobody’s done your specific model, you’re all the way out of luck.

Technically most things we call “Linux” aren’t even Linux, they’re distributions that use Linux as a base. Android forks their own Linux kernel and then shovels on a whole bunch of non-Linuxy stuff on top of it and then locks it all down so that you can’t make any changes.
So what people mean when they say they want a true Linux phone is that they want an OS on their phone that behaves more like most Linux distributions (where you are in control, and can even install a different kernel if you wanted).
As for the forking question, being downstream of Android means A) undoing everything they did it lock it down and B) constantly having to do that moving forward as they do everything they can to stymie you at every turn.

Not easily anyway. Probably if you could do it at a hardware level, but manufacturers have been making it harder and harder to even get the dang thing open, and every model and revision would require intense research just to prove it out.

Is this the sequel to No Children?

What about Johnny Mnemonic?

Yeah! It’s got Plasma 6! And labwc!
