Just want to say good luck. Someone brought me one of these and asked to make it ready to be their university laptop in 2013. I worked real hard not to laugh because money was obviously tight but I just told them to return the pos to Amazon.

Why would mint be considered old but not ubuntu?
Do things on usenet get purged? Would you expect the stuff showing up today to still be accessible in 5-7 years?
I switched to mint this year with a Nvidia 4080. so far I have been able to get everything I need running with minimal or no involvement. Counterstrike 2 is the most obnoxious which requires me to disable my secondary monitors. That doesn’t happen with anything else and most new games have been good.
If you don’t play something with an ajticheat you know is incompatible with Linux I’d definitely reccomend jumping.
It seems to have no effect either way. Originally I attempted without, then when it didn’t hold after a reboot and some further reading I added the After= line in attempt to ensure the service isn’t trying to initiate before it should be possible.
I can manually enable the service with or without the After= line with the same results of it actually working. Just doesn’t hold after a reboot.
This one seemed perfect but nothing lasts after the reboot for whatever reason. If i manually re-enable the service its all good so I suspect theres no issue with the below - I added the after=multi-user.target after the first time it didn’t hold after reboot.
[Unit]
Description=Runs alsactl restore to fix microphone loop into headphones
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
ExecStart=alsactl restore
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
When I run a status check it shows it deactivates as soon as it runs
Apr 11 20:32:24 XXXXX systemd[1]: Started Runs alsactl restore to fix microphone loop into headphones.
Apr 11 20:32:24 XXXXX systemd[1]: alsactl-restore.service: Deactivated successfully.
How can I run a sudo command automatically on startup? I need to run sudo alsactl restore to mute my microphone from playing In my own headphones on every reboot. Surely I can delegate that to the system somehow?
I think the point they were trying to make was that China would have plausible deniablity based on where the attacks could be initially traced to.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sure, I’ll do that. But you’ve lost 99% of average people when you mention “virtual machine”.
Also at least for mint which I was directly talking about you actually boot via live USB first and have to install from an icon on the desktop so there really is no risk for erasing windows until your well into making decisions. Which again you have to choose to erase windows.
You’re right, but the point I was trying to get across to another layman is you can have windows already installed and not break anything with another install of Linux. Rather than get into partitioning and dual booting.
I made the dive into Linux mint last night. If you already have windows installed you can side load so you don’t have to completely commit right out of the box. I play games that would require windows so this was necessary for me but so far outside of hating middle mouse click to paste and some troubleshooting for my headset (I could hear myself quietly through my headphones when speaking into mic) Linux has been preferable to win11
Exhibit A: see how Google idly fucks with Firefox by getting it to run around in circles the way you might idly taunt your friends cat with a laser pointer
What is this referring to?
There definitely was a shift. People and subreddits that existed before the mass influx of phone / app users tended to hold onto the hate of emojis but there was definitely no stopping all the newer younger users that didn’t know and rightfully wouldn’t care about what smileys are acceptable on a forum :)
For what purpose would he attach his baby of X to the Twitter he is intentionally trying to kill?
I think about the jitterbug crew regularly
For the most part it’s just a different browser and way weirder looking links that make navigation too much of a chore for average day to day users, but there are link aggregators, forums, and search tools for finding whatever category of the web you’re looking for.
