The article explains how to bring Python 3.12 onto Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04 by adding the deadsnakes PPA, updating packages, installing build tools, and then installing the new interpreter along with its venv and dev packages. It points out that Ubuntu’s official repositories ship only Python 3.10, which can cause compatibility headaches when newer language features like the match statement are required by projects. The guide walks through updating the system, adding the PPA, installing python3.12 and related packages, optionally switching the default python3 symlink with update alternatives, and verifying installation with simple tests. Finally it offers cleanup instructions for removing the new Python version or the PPA if one no longer wants to keep it.
Installing Blender on Linux Mint 20 or 21 is surprisingly straightforward once you know which tool works best for your workflow, and the guide walks through four reliable options. It starts by stressing the importance of up‑to‑date graphics drivers and kernel patches to avoid crashes that often stem from incompatible GPU stacks. The first method recommends adding Thomas Schiex’s stable PPA, while the second suggests a Snap package for quick auto‑updates; both install Blender with minimal fuss. Finally, the article covers Flatpak for sandboxed performance, an AppImage for a single executable without system integration, and concludes with tips to verify the installation, clean up old packages, and check GPU health—all packaged in a concise, step‑by‑step format.
