Someone wrote something about Linux Mint being boring (or was it Linux at large being boring!?).
I updated Mint on the big PC, I thought the graphics card would conk out. Or the drives would seize. Or the CPU would transform into a veritable portal to Hell.
Yes, I am only half joking.
Nothing much has happened after the update. Linux Mint does seem kinda boring. It has just kept working as expected...
And that's fucking amazeballs, I didn't know how much I could love "boring".
