Under 40km/hr, a small noise makes sense, over that the tyres make enough noise
You could of course keep detailed statistics about what kind of crashes and where and causes

4·22 days agoI use Mint (LMDE) on my laptop amd desktop. Dual booting is an issie if you use Windows and have the installs on the same drive. I went Mint only. (18onths now)
No issies with the isntall, there will be some apps you can’t use, I ditched them amd changed to other apps but thats an issue with shitty vendors not with Linux itself
I use the command line very occasionally, 95% of everything can be done with the GUI
Mint’s a good a place as any to start. Has a good support forum if you have hiccups. Understand this is new for you, so you’ll need some effort.
Bevase were car beained assholes who keep voting for the orthodoxy.

i often see people posting pbotos of some landscape or other and people commenting how beautiful it is… and I’m like “there’s a fucking road through the middle!”
i assume they just don’t see it, like the person in a gorilla suit on the sidewalk that people don’t see… speaking of which

To be fair they were on a freeway, at night, chasing an injured anmial on the freeway.
They had big hearts and small brains.
