Cool. I’m a dude and pretty old, though. Having a baby might be a bit of a problem.

Something… something… Schrödinger

I always had trouble with running dual boot, mostly because I don’t really have a clue about all this stuff. So the consequence was to ditch Windows. Never going back.

Ah well. I guess a reinstall every couple of years or so isn’t such a bad thing.

I’m sure he’ll be thrilled.

I switched my Mint install to Pipewire already. Just hope that won’t mess up the upgrade.

There’s Easyeffects. I don’t know if it is equivalent but it certainly has more features than I could ever hope to be able to use.

Where would one find custom Pipewire profiles for specific speakers and would those work for an unwashed Mint peasant like me? I have external speakers for my PC but the sound has room for improvement. I tried tweaking with Easyeffects but that is not really that easy if you have no idea about sound engineering.

You don’t want to know.

It’s not like you’ll ever run out of stuff to play on Linux.

And is that huge 3D printer in the room with us now?

Did you set the correct permissions?

Don’t want to sound like I’m proselytising but do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?

Whenever I need to do something, I’ll figure it out. Sometimes it’s a pain, like getting VNC to work. But then I’ll write down the most important bits and duly forget the rest. I just want this stuff to work.

Our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds, has risen to deliver us from the evil of closed source OSs. Praise be!

Well, I’m still in the noob stage and i intend to stay there. My OS is just a means to an end and Mint is perfect for that.

I changed the font sizes in Cinnamon, so i can totally relate.

I would never have considered gaming on Linux until the Steam Deck came out. When reviews said it’s actually awesome, I became convinced to try it. Basically, the deck pushed me over the edge to ditch Windows altogether. So suck on that, Satya! No wonder MS is trying so hard to stop other OEMs from making Linux handhelds.

Cool. I’ll try that tonight.
