Yeah, I recall a Ramsey poll where the fourth highest profession for millionaires is teaching.

Learning from others and following a plan is how one becomes a millionaire. Teachers have those critical skills down.

With the SteamDeck as the dominate PC gaming handheld and XBOX in a dire state right now, these will almost certainly do much better than the last attempt.

Option 1: When you go to their website for the flathub link, it takes you to a download for a .flatpakref file. Dowload that and run it. It will open the Software Manager to the gopher64 entry. If it isn’t opening with the software manager for some reason, tell it to open .flatpakref files with the Software Manager.

Option 2: Search for gopher64 in the Software Manager.

I can confirm M.2 to PCIe adapters work for booting Windows. Had both my Linux drive and Windows drive each in a separate one when I used to dual boot. Then I would swap out which adapter was in the computer to switch OS.

I haven’t plugged the Windows one in in a loooong time, but wanted to mention the option since it would do what you want.

We have that already, it’s called Linux Mint.

Don’t overthink it.

Not sure why you are trying to jump from the frying pan directly into the fire…

please don’t mention Heroic or Lutris because they barely work either

Odd, been enjoying Silksong and earlier Baldur’s Gate 3 via Heroic (GOG) and it just works on Linux. Not sure what the ‘barely works’ part you are talking about is. Hell, half the games I buy are through GOG now. Only one I had to do anything for is Breath of Fire IV, which isn’t even offered on Steam…

I’m all for this. Game exclusivity prevents many from enjoying them.

Is that a good idea?

I did it on one of my computers as I wanted a feature that was in 6.14. It didn’t cause any issues, nor should it. I believe the disto maintainer is simply being cautious and not having people auto-upgrade kernels as part of minor version upgrades.

I believe 6.14 is somewhat recent, so it might be just a matter of when each installation file was obtained.

Yeah. If you upgraded to Mint 22.2 from 22.1, you will still be on kernel 6.8. But I believe if you installed via a full install directly to 22.2, you will be on kernel 6.14.

I recommend upgrading your 6.8 installation with a fresh download from your preferred source and a full reinstall.

You can upgrade the Mint kernel to 6.14 via Software Update Manager > View > Linux Kernels. No full reinstall required.

Though, OP, unless there is a specific reason to change it or you just like doing so, I would leave it alone: don’t fix things that aren’t broken.

GOG is DRM free though!

If it’s on the distros, don’t fret it too much. They all do everything, it’s just an initial configuration.

I have been recommending Mint specifically, as it targets the average user with a ‘it just works’ mentality.

Any specific things you are getting stuck on?

Considering the Steam Deck is the PC handheld market leader, doesn’t run the bloat that is Windows 11, and is vastly cheaper than the Ally X, I’m really confused on why they didn’t include it in the comparison. Literally not even a mention of the Steam Deck in the article.

The Ally X is a really, really bad value proposition compared to the Steam Deck. A 3-way comparison would have been much more interesting.

Yeah, active PoE is the only kind worth buying. Passive PoE is an accident waiting to happen.

Not all of us know what this is. Can you expand on your thoughts?

Ebay, Cragslist. Doesn’t fully fit in with the sub, but, it’s what I do when I get too many.

Nice.

Very much so looking forward to seeing rigorous benchmarks of GPUs on linux.

Using violent communication at the workplace would be grounds for calling the police and on-the-spot dismissal. Non-violent communication is the only acceptable communication mode at the workplace.

That was a little tongue in cheek, but damn is that an awful name for something. Communicates nothing of note and is extremely confusing. Yet its goal is to aid communication…

Some things have gone up much faster than others. And Taco Bell, McDonald’s have both gone up in price much faster than home cooking has. Which is exactly where more and more of my food is coming from now.

Vast majority of fast food now: ‘fast’, ‘cheap’, ‘good’, pick zero.
