  1. So I was just thinking that Flatpak got round the infrequent update issue, when you said it. I can see it's a further step away from the Unix philosophy, but we do have a lot more storage these days. And there's always *BSD. LInux Mint finally let me free myself from nagging commercial systems, so I like it a lot. Partly it's good because it is rather cautious about changes, which is, I guess, why LMDE is still an "alternative." No one really thinks Ubuntu is going away, but it's not paranoid to think that Canonical might do stuff that makes Ubuntu less attractive as a base. Mint slowly prepares to change, just in case; and it's an alternative because, presumably, they're not yet confident it's as polished as the traditional form.

  2. People have pointed out that nVMEs are designed for a limited number of insertions: can I ask why not use a dual boot setup? I play with dual booting myself, but I'm no expert, and I'd like to know what you think about it.
