Here's a little blurb from [the Wikipedia article on the piece](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_(Grieg)): > The Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, composed by Edvard Grieg in 1868, was the only concerto Grieg completed. It is one of his most popular works and is among the most popular of the genre. > Grieg's concerto provides evidence of his interest in Norwegian folk music; the opening flourish is based on the motif of a falling minor second followed by a falling major third, which is typical of the folk music of Grieg's native country. This specific motif occurs in other works by Grieg, including the String Quartet No. 1. In the last movement of the concerto, similarities to the halling _(a Norwegian folk dance)_ and imitations of the Hardanger fiddle _(the Norwegian folk fiddle)_ have been detected.

I can understand giving up on FreeBSD--OpenBSD at least offers to install & configure a graphical environment with a graphical login screen during the installation process, which makes it much easier to get up and running for desktop or laptop use (on supported hardware).

This article offers a quick overview of _Linux Mint_, answering a few questions a potential (or new) user may have that are not covered by the official FAQ, such as how the scheme used for each release's _code name_ works.
_Linux Mint 21.2_ and _LMDE 6_ releases are slated for release in the coming months! Additionally, the _tooltips_ are being redesigned to achieve a consistent look, now using the accent color whenever possible.
Here's another excellent rendition of _Horse-Racing_, this time accompanied by piano: [John Erhu - Horse Racing](https://invidious.kavin.rocks/watch?v=L_QKpppskDU) I love the energy of the piece! It's upbeat and evermore a joy to listen to.
The work on release 21.2, codename "Victoria", has begun! A preview of some of the planned features has been detailed, alongside some bugfixes to Cinnamon, and an upgrade of the new bluetooth manager, Blueman.
What a wonderful performance of the [classic Christmas poem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Visit_from_St._Nicholas)! Although familiar with it, I had never heard a musical performance till to-night on the radio. So, go on, and give it a listen! I'm sure you'll enjoy it, if even not [Christen](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Christen)!
The current moderator seems to have deleted their account. It's a low post-volume community, though I would nonetheless welcome another Linux Mint user as an additional moderator, should there be one interested.
While many on the related blog post for the [_21.1 BETA release_ announcement page](https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4442) laud the new look of several applications, I cannot help but feel such changes rob Linux Mint of its distinctive look and charm, taking Mint from its instantly recognizable desktop to something decidedly more generic and bland. I cannot fathom the reason for new sounds, either. I'm not certain the goals of making Mint more _trendy_ and _beautiful_ were achieved. Unless these refer to making it look more akin to Windows 11, which nemo's new manila folders with blue highlighting echoes. The new, more vibrant colors of Windows 11 icons were also rightfully criticized as being poor choices, but Mint seems determined to follow in its footsteps. Good defaults matter, and I believe these UI changes are not. That notwithstanding, the non-UI improvements everywhere are well justified and should make Linux Mint more comfortable for all to use. Flatpaks were rather inconvenient to use, and much work has gone into making those easier to manage. Especially exciting is the new _ISO Verification Tool_!
> Tintagel is a symphonic poem by Arnold Bax. It is his best-known work, and was for some years the only piece by which the composer was known to many concert-goers. The work was inspired by a visit Bax made to Tintagel Castle in Cornwall in 1917, and, although not explicitly programmatic, draws on the history and mythology associated with the castle. --quoted from the [Wikipedia article on Bax's Tintagel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintagel_(Bax)) For more of his work, check out [Wikipedia's list of compositions by Arnold Bax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Arnold_Bax). I myself am partial to his tone poems, though his symphonies are also excellent.

In order to make a change to the rules and tradition of anything, easy or not, it must be justified. Is there any reason to change the colors or rules concerning which player opens?

Die Kosten der Entsorgung von Verpackungen soll der Hersteller tragen. Es ist unglaublich, dass Obst und Gemüse noch in Plastikschalen verkauft wird. Verpackungslose Märkte sollen eigentlich zur Norm werden.

It would be prudent to mention these are Gemini protocol browsers, and don't support HTTP. Great programs though, I use them too.

Well, much like you, I am slowly learning how to use simpler, more efficient tools, but it takes some time to get acquainted with new software. My most used machine is my desktop, which runs OpenBSD and Linux Mint. I've been slowly branching out from Emacs, which is what I typically use for everything except web browsing where JavaScript is needed.
I have begun to use many of the recommended programs from suckless.org/rocks, including ksh, zathura, snownews, profanity, nnn, ranger, cmus, feh, aerc, mg, links, and ffplay. I also use groff, cwm, xterm, calcurse, elvis, dictd, clang, weechat, latex, as well as a couple heavier programs like qemu, qutebrowser, librewolf*, turtl*, kiwix*, discord*, gnome-boxes*, steam*, and dino*. I gave up on mutt because I found it too difficult to set-up properly with my current knowledge. The rest is fairly simple to use.
It ultimately depends on what one's goals are, however. I only have 4GB RAM on my desktop, which means the lightweight programs I use on OpenBSD allow me to open as many applications as I please without risking crashing my system, which is unfortunately not the case with Cinnamon. The idea behind my software choices is typically efficiency, but I also desire to discover the world outside of Emacs. The biggest compromises I make are Steam and Discord. The rest is FOSS though, so I'm not going to get into a purity-spiral over only using minimalist software, especially if it detracts from my efficiency.

Opt-in seems like a reasonable position for this optional feature. Not everyone uses it. I don't. To turn the question on its head:
Is there a compelling reason to enable it by default?

The comments you highlighted were some of the most bizarre things argued in the whole thread. Apparently copyleft just isn't permissive enough for some people. Your counters are good!

This read is a bit sad... Though I admit I likely wouldn't have learnt anything about TeX myself, were it not mandatory for physics.
