I always watch his buying undelivered mail ones… absolutely love that a brown chair is his studio.

I watch an electronics guy called Big Clive on YT and I’m always impressed by the stuff he finds at Poundland… kinda jealous.

Woohoo ! Happy Anniversary! Deleted manually 13 years of posts and comments.

Generally though when you update Mint you won’t get bombarded with 20 UI changes and some AI crap and naggin and advertising and strong arm tactics to get you to use their cloud services.

It’s not for everyone and that’s ok.

I’ve been using Linux since 98 and never have I ever seen it in so many conversations. 18,000 windows games now run. Distros like Bazzite and the Steam OS are getting kids into Linux. My son… Windows die hard that he was just told me he is not only running Linux but has canceled all streaming services and is hosting his own server. There’s never been a better time to help people get into the fold.

If you have a game that only runs on windows right click on it go to manage and chose compatibility then pick the latest version of proton and relaunch the game. To do it globally First, log into Steam using your login credentials. Then, click on “Steam” in the top-left corner, and select “Settings”. Go to the “Compatibility” settings, then locate the “Steam Play” section. Toggle on the “Enable Steam Play for all other titles,” choose the latest Proton version from the dropdown menu, click “OK,” and restart Steam. My whole library works.

I tried out Bazzite and was pretty happy with the out of the box gaming. Think I’ll consider it for the wife’s laptop when 10 runs out. Kinda torn about giving her a dual boot with LTSC 10 and Linux or just going full in because it’ll be me on the support end.

I saw the wienermobile parked at a supermarket in Connecticut. Made sure to get my girlfriends picture next to it.

Fit Girl Repacks here we go.

It’s also the voice training you do when you set up assistant. Sometimes it recognizes my voice only and once in a while a phrase on the TV will set it off as it’s close to my inflections.

This is beyond most general windows users comprehension.

I actually had a Linux update do this once when it updated grub. Took a bit to fix but nothing was lost.

They did - also AT&T had an upright at Sears that was the very first to ship with a sound card. We used to record loud burps and people that stopped the screensaver would get a surprise.

Packard Bell most likely.

Atari 400 with a cassette tape drive and a 300 baud modem.

I learned reality based shows suck.

This is brilliant ! I would watch it in a heartbeat.

It’s fun once you get all your stuff working and know what you’re doing. Even then it can be a challenge at times. I started in 1998 with suse Linux and it was just a brag back then.

Playing on a windows gaming laptop with the engine.ini fix … Hardware lumen settings affect crash frequency… if I have it maxed there are some areas that are so “sparkly” the game will gracefully crash with an error send option. Also the nights of the nine bug is still present where you go to all 9 shrines but you only show 8 so you have to find an alternate shrine to complete the quest.
