The name definitely needs work

Both with fog and smoke

It’s so eery with fog and a special kind of horrifying with smoke

Might be a controversial take but I don’t mind them blocking unverified flatpaks by default, what I do mind is that when enabled they don’t show the rating and reviews for said flatpaks.

I’m not sure if that was addressed in this latest version but that’s they way it was not too long ago

I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.

So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)

And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn’t help but share the results of.

About $3.20.

So yeah, about a dime a dozen… 111 years ago lol.

USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks

They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.

If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.

Back in the day it was a terrible loss though

Bummer

Honestly kicking myself for not having this setup on my last Linux install

Good news is it’s setup on my current install

Sometimes I learn my lessons the hard way… Multiple times.

I’ve got to agree with you on that one

I finally removed all my subs from over there

Couldn’t take it anymore

If it works it works

It does everything she needs so she keeps on using it

Plus she got her rig from me as a gift a number of years ago

With the new Apple silicon going on it’s killing Hackintosh by literally having non-Apple silicon going to be no longer supported.

So basically the EoL date for a Hackintosh is when Apple goes EoL on non-Apple silicon with their OS.

If I wanted to be violated as much as Windows 11 wants to violate me I’d reinstall Grindr

Straight up it reminds of of being back on Windows 7 and it’s so goddamn cozy to be back there

I installed Linux Mint on my Mom’s and Grandma’s PCs as it’s one I use for most of mine. They took to it like a duck to water.

My Mom has a little bit of growing into it as she plays a lot of videogames (literally more than I do lol) but it’s been smooth sailing.

My Grandma primarily does stuff in her browser so for her it was more of a new skin for her PC.

My Mom is running a system with a R5 1600 and a RX 580 and my Grandma is running a Intel Broadwell CPU (I can’t remember which kind with integrated graphics.

To get my Grandma into Linux required some prep before hand teaching her about doing all of her office stuff in her browser because she was rude or die on Microsoft Office. Now she’s ride or die for Google’s office suite (not perfect but primarily painless for me).

For my Mom it was pretty simple after she started getting pop-ups to upgrade to Windows 11 and then being told her system doesn’t support it. Also her finding out that Windows 10 was going EoL in 2025 really helped.

I only had a couple programs holding me: Fusion 360 and Windows 3D Builder.

Then I found out there’s a functional snap pack for Fusion 360. Now I just have to come up with a solution for Windows 3D Builder.

And the reason I use Windows 3D Builder is for 1 feature: it’s model repair function is far and away the best I’ve used for broken 3D models.

Lychee Slicer (slicer used for resin printing) is usually pretty good but sometimes it’ll still fail

Which basically means I’d have 2 choices, go in there manually with Blender or fire up Windows 3D Builder and let it work it’s magic

I haven’t fully given up on trying to find a way to get it to work on Linux but I’ve had to take a break from trying purely due to frustration

I didn’t know about the 16-bit support, which is really cool to say the least

I see myself as still somewhat of a noob to Linux

And sometimes the Windows only software is more “Windows only” and works with Wine

Windows 3D Builder though is firmly in the Windows Only category though. Which is a bummer because in my experience it’s the best at repairing 3D models for 3D printing that have errors like holes, redundant geometry, inverted faces, etc.

I’m enjoying Linux Mint so far

I’m thinking I may hope around to a distro using a newer kernel but meh

Mint is pretty nice

Edit: My “meh” is because Mint has been super stable for me and I’m not really sure that the effort to switch distros is worth it given that my systems are already rock solid.

If memory serves it costs them something like $10k per year 4 years ago for the Adobe suite.
