Playing along for Mint/Cinnamon suggestions. Already using the Cinimenu (or whatever it is) but its still not "it".

No logo in the foam.

Hans would have used Lemmy.

Idk what is news and what is a meme anymore. Either way let's go back to burning anyone that suggests anything.

Only for groups? Why thing else has worked fine for the 9months I've had signal.

Tracker Control is blocking me from joining. Weird that Molly (its a hardened signal fork) is showing amazon is being contacted when trying to join the group.

I can unblock it but its weird. I also noticed the other domains its been trying to (unsuccessfully) contact.

Probably not the place to ask, but. Say In a n00b and have Arch (EndeavourOS BTW) on a 15+ year old laptop. Everything works fine hardware wise. Software is fairly basic web, Inkscape, LibreOffice.

Do I really need all the latest Arch updates? Or can I just do an update say every 6 months?

I got that but still what? Why does the front lift up, why does the cop car spin round, why do the cop wheels go horizontal.

PIT should spin the crim and the cop should remain forward.

On android Tubular is YouTube with these options. A fork of NewPipe.

The sync looks to be a version of KDE connect. That I have running on Mint. I think I had to install it from the Mint software GUI though.

Zorin does look cool though. As easy as it is Mint/Cinnamon is a bit ugly out of the box.

 

Question is title.

In the past I've installed many distros on many older PCs, but never used linux properly (although slowly moving over to avoid win11). I've also had a heap of history with windows installs.

A family member has been testing Mint on an old laptop and is going well. This is a trial run before I update their iMac laptop (not sure what one but no longer supposed by OS updates).

I've never booted to an iMac BIOS or installed over top of apple.

  • Is this going to be like installing over windows?
  • What issues can I expect?
  • Should I consider another distro?

Asking here as searching results in AI bullshit websites.

 

I'm looking for a way to browse YT or find creators I might like.

In the long run I'd like to use YT like my podcasts. Thst is, play the new content daily/weekly form people I follow rather than mindlessly scrolling the algorithm.

With most podcast apps I can just see categories and go through the top creators in each category. Along with seeing how often content is posted. This way I can also check out other random categories and find content outside what is normally like.

Searching YT just gets all the clickbate and my algorithm is pretty rubbish. Im using Tubular and SmartTube, but perhaps there is a website or other way to find creators?

 

Is related to the F1 guy? Or the AIR bnb dog?

 

I'm sure there are channels that run similar to Public TV. They may post a regular show, or a variety of shows.

Maybe web-series is the word to use. They must be of decent quality and updated within the last 6 months.

I'm know not looking for documentaries, essay videos, pranks, reviews or vlogs.

And not 1-2 people going around doing whatever, or a group of people that sit with a static backdrop chatting or pulling up graphics.

I'm looking for funny game shows, dating shows, reality tv, sit coms, drama, variety shows, comedy or anything that would be similar to flicking through over the air TV (but not jsut shows copied from TV).

I've got a few accounts on my phone, and the calanders are set up to sync.

When I look in the outlook app I can see the outlook events as expected.

When I use the Samsung Calender app (preferred), the Google Calander app, or any other Calander apps the outlook Calander has issues.

Some events appear, others don't, some seem to disappear etc. I think it's to do with android and the syncing of the Calander, but I'm not sure what.

I've used the reset account button in the outlook app, and deleted and re-added the account.

Not sure what's going on here. But it's the only app listed that is constantly using a sensor.

 

Is it possible to set the local button to show another instance?

Ideally when signed in but I'd also be happy to swap to a guest/anonymous account.

It saves having to make many instance logins. And I think it's voyager that allows this.

Good work and cheers
