No worries, appreciate the insight!

Appreciate the advice; I may just follow it considering how positive an experience Mint has been.

Thanks all for the helpful replies! I do have a second ssd, I can probably dump everything there before I format my m2 ssd. I do primarily game thru steam, I’ve got icue software that isn’t compatible but I believe I can use openrgb. Nvidia card also, is it just driver related?

I put Mint Cinnamon on an older laptop just this past weekend and had a lot of fun with it. Are there any migration tips for my main Windows machine? I was thinking of going with Bazzite since it’s my gaming box. What about saved game data and whatnot? I was reading about Putty and SSH ing over to the laptop, but I’m not sure what a good strategy is for my desktop.

Super cool, I’m very interested

My intent was to commiserate and call out how AI is ruining the internet and creating additional friction represented in this thread, and I don’t agree it needs a whole discussion elsewhere.

Great photo, btw.

This is why regulations to reign in corporate bullshit exist, expecting the average person to have even the faintest idea why this is important isn’t reasonable.

Welcome! There are dozens of us

Fuck AI

Instead of bitching, what are your bright ideas and calls to action? What resistance are you organizing? This is, at least, something.

Was gonna say guillotine, but I like this better. I’d sub to a 24hr livestream, even

Papers, please.

But snow isn’t warm!

Four spaces was helpful, but I can’t scooch the ears over. Also I tried carat eyes originally but they don’t format near the underscore

Exactly, I’m sure thoughts and prayers were issued somewhere, good enough.
