Even my parents haven't screwed up the Linux Mint I set up for them to use. I'm super curious what in the world breaks it so bad that it doesnt boot.

I wonder why I've never heard of them, since I'd put myself in that category.

I've heard Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Bazzite, and CachyOS. Just from interest in what would be a good distro for moving from Windows to Linux full time for gaming.

But, never heard Zorin. What are the places people are seeking out that has Zorin being recommend?

Freetube is great too. Its like newpipe for desktop. Lets you subscribe, have view history, and save playlists locally. Has sponsorblock and dearrow and is accountless.

Sometimes breaks so have to go back to using firefox + ublock while waiting for update tp fix wharever youtube does.

Might be simplest to get the smallest phone you can find for those kind of apps, and then do everything else on grapheneos. Might be hassle carrying two devices but at least one of the phones can be the cheapest thing you can find.

I have two 1440p 27" monitors and I really like the size. They are on monitor arms which do help a lot, since it keeps the monitor floating above the desk so you can have stuff underneat it and easier to keep your desk neat and dust free.

I also pick up a generic used 1440p/120hz 16" monitor for around the cost of a triple a game that I ended up being impressed by. So you could go that route too of having one big 27" monitor and smaller monitor.

Yeah, our memory prices have been affected too by the stupid AI shit.

Hype up vaporware. Be unprofitable but keep on hyping to draw in investors and inflate stocks and give yourself an inflated salary and sell off stocks periodically.

If get lucky enough vaporware eventually becomes a viable company or it goes bankrupt but its fine you already cashed out along the way. Yay.

I think I saw it when i went to go update and then somehow the instructions on syncthing 2.0 being its own separate app, since straight up update could cause issues. Not sure if it was pop up within the syncthing app or descriptions page for it on f-droid. Well I do use droidify to install f-droid apps since I prefer the UI so maybe that's why I saw something.

I knew because I install through F-droid instead of github so ended up getting like a notice informing me that to upgrade to 2.0 I should back up the settings then uninstall 1.3 then install 2.0 then back up settings.

But, if retrieving from github or obtanium then maybe message wasn't relayed.

During the update to 2.0 you had to uninstall the 1.3 version then install and restore your syncthing-fork settings. So if you are still on 1.3 that's probably why you aren't seeing it. Should pop up if you search F-droid for the 2.0 version.

Yep reason why people can get some nice Thinkpads for cheap once warranty ends with businesses offloading them.
