I’m one of the few people that use my headphone jack with Grado headphones and have had Motorola phones so I can listen to music the way I want.

Don’t even get me started on the light green bubble shit.

Fuck Apple.

I’ve made a few contributions to the Linux Mint team and it’s free. It has saved a few machines from the e-waste landfills and I have it on my laptop right now. It’s super reliable and just works so the devs deserve the extra help.

Exactly.

And when parts become available at my local auto parts store. One of my friends had a Model 3 and it took 1 MONTH to replace a broken passenger door mirror. It also took 3 WEEKS to fix a power seat issue. The same car had multiple growing pain issues that took way too much time to fix.

They were thrilled to trade it in on a new Camry so they could have a functioning car again.

Thank you for the information! I haven’t run any other distribution in a few years so I forgot the KDE details.

Neon and Plasma.

Fun fact. I have hopped around many other distros from Ubuntu to KDE to PopOS and a few dozen others but came back to Mint. It’s rock solid reliable, easy to get work done, easy to customize to your liking, and easy to update. I’ve been using it reliably over the last 5 years and don’t see myself changing any time soon.

With this subscription, the year of the Linux desktop will finally be here.

Except Adobe 😞

RELIABLY

What about Notepad? I use it for the same quick notes

We have the basic Peacock plan and still watch ads 😔

Or a “hide all political posts” button. As an American, I already hate the next few months as the next generation of liars run for President.

Would it be better if I said that I’m currently running LMDE? :)

Fun fact: I’ve been using Mint on my home computer for over a decade. I’ve distro hopped a little bit but Mint is just rock solid reliable. It’s almost perfect.

Exactly! I have tried 40%(which is utter hell on earth), 60%, and TKL and it never lasts more than a day where I get so frustrated at the lack of numpad and calculation keys.

The keyboard I brought to work is a Royal Kludge RK920 with reds(nothing special) because no one here likes hearing blues.

After the Pantone fallout last year, I cancelled my Adobe subscription and bought Serif Affinity’s apps and haven’t looked back. Yes, there are a few work arounds and even almost a year in, I’m still looking up the occasional tool/feature that is comparable but I have saved $55/month. The ONLY features I miss are GREP and Scripts in InDesign but I have lived without them.

Wow… I remember playing this for MONTHS, trying to figure out what buttons, levers, everything does. I dedicated an entire paper notebook to writing down clues, hints, and failed attempts. And then the same for Riven.

Now I simply don’t have the free time to dedicate to those games… #adulting
