Have you used these cards in public? Your information could have been picked up by card skimmer.

At least where I live, it’s very common to hand payment cards over to wait staff at restaurants. I had my card information compromised during a visit to Boston several years ago.

Fun fact: Ancient Egyptians used a base 12 for time (and in some other places) because we have have 12 segments on our index through pinky fingers. They used their thumbs as a placeholder or to count. That base 12 system then turned into the 24 hour clock system we use today.

This is subjective, but after distro hopping, Linux Mint XFCE requires the least amount of post install configuration for my use case and personal preferences.

Also, they show a preference for flatpack over snap but don’t lock you in/out of either.
