How to condolidate 2 leftist companies like Comcast and T-Mobile into one. You can get unlimited Internet from T-Mobile.
Some cellphone routers can be activated with a tablet sim, and then modified to make it look like the data is going into the device, and not being broadcast to other devices, which gives you unlimited high speed hotspot data, all for a mere $20/month on T-Mobile.
We use up to 300 GBytes a month of highspeed hotspot data with our sim card router (https://store.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mifi-4g-smart-router), but the T-Mobile plan only allows for 20GBytes of hotspot data, so how is that possible? You can modify some firewall settings on the router, so T-Mobile thinks the data is only going into a tablet, and not over a hotspot.
The Nighthawk M1 has a way to connect USB hard drives and a printers, which the GL.iNet Smart Router does not.

If you have Mint Mate or Mint Xfce, you can activate Compiz, but you cannot activate it in Mint Cinnamon.
Mate and Xfce still use Xorg, whereas Cinnamon uses Wayland. Compiz requires Xorg, which is why it will not run on any desktop using Wayland, such as Cinnamon and the newer Gnome desktop environments.
See this video for a Compiz demo and some instructions:

Why you don't use Microsoft, or, Big Tech products in Linux, even if they are open-source.
VS Code is a Microsoft open-source text editor offered to Linux via the snap store.
This is why you use VS Codmium instead of Microsoft's VS Code.
