Go-On-A-Steam-Train

Ughh my RDP into work is the only reason I have a minimal windows install :/

I love mint, but I can’t get work’s IT support people to go near it (needs the preshared key and some settings to get their Sharepoint VPN working). It grates having to boot into windows!

Really hope more people at work ask for Linux support and I don’t need 11, but not holding my breath. :)

Emesene and pidgin were great! :)

Thinking about it, I would not put it past me to have set it and forgotten 😂 it’s been a while since I played about with the settings!

You convinced me, I’m totally adding this today! :)

I also would throw in sponsorblock to that too - it skips all the “but first, Raid Shadow Legends…” “don’t forget to like share and subscribe” nonsense :)

edit: thank you, I just poked into YouTube Revanced, and found DeArrow was on! This explains why I didn’t like youtube’s content when on my PC, so I’ll 100% be adding this to Firefox! :)

Thank you for reminding me of this!

It’s wasn’t that long ago that I was in a little lamborghini, and sleeping on bookshelves.

My mind immediately went to the band Phish… I was all excited to find a new corner of the internet about them! :) Never mind :)

Thank you for that… going back and reading again with this was very, very funny

In this case it makes sense to have a short-term quick-and-dirty Butt deployment.

This add-on brings me joy and is related. :)

My 1080 was okay with Linux Mint, no complaints, and performance is the same from what I can tell. :)

I just switched over to Mint from Windows 10 a month ago, and besides from setting up my quirky USB audio for music making, I was astonished as I rarely needed to look anything up. :)

Using DuckDuckGo helped I think, but presently, most of my questions I searched came back with forums with real people talking, which was lovely.

I remember trying this in 2010 and… nope, everything was a project, command lines everywhere, and it was a pig. I was very impressed this time, everything quietly worked. :) Even every steam game I threw at it, even ruddy GTA San Andreas, which never ran for me on Window 10!

The searches/sticking points I looked up were

• what the heck am I doing with partitions. (eventually nuked windows anyway)
• how do I get my specific USB audio card thingy to work.*
• how to mod fallout new vegas** (gave up and reinstalled on a windows pc, too many .exes)
• how to auto-mount a second hard drive for steam so I don’t have to click the disk every time I boot.

*there was actually a human-made guide for my usb audio when I searched on DuckDuckGo, which was made by an utter saint of a person!

** it ran fine, but I was in the middle of a save, so wanted to keep my mod loadout :)
