While I agree with the main message, I’ll be one to say you are a hypocrite. Code doesn’t have to be art for the use without consent to be wrong. Arguing that way is the same as when people say that using AI to generate images is fine because they have the idea but not the skills to execute it.

Either way you are diminishing someone’s else work because you find this tool useful to achieve the results you want.

It’s good to see Linux Mint still going strong. One of the easiest distros to get started with, in my opinion. My family has been using it for years without issues

Every achievement is too much. Some achievements are pure time sinks, and some are designed to be hard to be completed.
