No issues gaming on Mint! Tried bazzite couldn’t get into it. Just doesn’t feel usable daily and to game. Mint is just too polished and convenient.

I think NFTs in the very long-term likely hundred years or more even hundreds of years before they posess mass use. Similar to inter galactic space trade and multi planetary interaction of goods. As a way to trade posessions and assets without tangibly having said asset in person. Everyone would have a portfolio of assets so to say. It makes trading, buy, selling, every good no matter its price or size possible. Of course we would need a 3rd party asset manager for logistics but I think there’s merit.

All you people with multiple profiles better have insane backup strategies and love doing it often and it’s a removed. You have to backup each profile and restore individually once booted back up starting with owner then one after another. It’s a nightmare.

You also cannot use a single drive to backup each profile as the backup reading process that distinguishes each profile does not understand.

Meaning the same drive cannot even be partitioned to have a save of each profile. It requires different drives entirely. The absolute simplest process for backups are having a flash drive for each profile. Graphene os is very cumbersome to backup and DOES NOT backup all data. Once you restore from a backup you’ll understand all the pains I say, including the data you have to restore separately. A good backup is only good if you know you can restore and it works.

Hope this helps people refine their profile strategies. Most people avoid owner usage. I think there are pros and cons to that strategy. Like no pop up messages, notification delays, many other lacking options outside of owner profile like certain settings are unavailable to tweak. Including dev mode.

I’ve used graphene for years, across multiple pixel generations. It’s not the white knight made out to be. Their project is very silo’d in security and lacks the true polish of a complete OS. I still use it and think it has great merit just note the drawbacks are many. There’s so much more to add. It is late in my timezone. Hope this helps someone.

I think after testing multiple strategies that the best is to main owner, business and Google stuff 2nd, sketchy apps and things you don’t care if they get lost to delete the phone back to factory. Backup 1 and 2 only. 3 or more are throwaways. You have far more threats to lose your data from theft or social engineering by friends or family etc. than you do someone hacking multiple encrypted browsers with sandboxes of apps and then across encrypted profiles. Most of those scenarios are too complex but your imagination makes them appear big and real because of movies or TV.

Reality is the true threats are often much easier and simple. Bad actors tend to be least effort to get their goal. Nor are most Jason Bourne.

I think this accurate or close to it for phones but my laptop battery a Dell has degraded very quickly through 50 plus or more cycles of battery like 15 percent. It went from 59wh down to 50wh and it ebbs and flows. Runs Linux mint and installed power top and some other low power mods to help dumb things down to conserve. I feel like arm processors vs x86 are wildly different.

Wyze makes a good one for 150 USD. It comes with 4 wheel drive and can drive over a pile of 100ft extension cord tangled on the floor. No account bullshit. It’s not best sucker upper but it doesn’t wildly work good for the cheap price. Keeps the house mostly spotless. Fuck the mop versions they suck. But the vacuum version is worth the money. You do manually empty the bin and long hair jams the rolling vacuum head but it’s small potatoes compared to the dog hair it gets.

What the fuck…

This. Rock solid.

The wolf just AWHOOOs. I am the wolf spirit.

Yet. That is the big reasoning behind proofs of chain like work, etc.

Glad to help. And also glad you filled in the blanks I was forgetting! Best of luck. Mint and LMDE is great.

Did you get it? As in you fixed the issue?

Go into update manager top left find Linux kernels and select the kernel you’d like to have. I recommend the latest 6.14 too release. Select and install then restart and your good to go!

Perhaps if these high profile people use it, it must be worth using? Fuck those people but there has to be a legit reason you’d think.

Thanks for the link. Wild.

How do you know which models do and dont? Print tracking dots.

Joplin and Obsidian.

Encrypt your data period. A burglar isn’t going to worry about your home lab unless it’s oozing money from the look of it.

Your family and friends will be the ones to snoop your data. So know that and prepare accordingly.

A thief is going to steal car wheels, weapons, tools, electronics that seem resellable, gold and jewelry, things of immediate value to sell or trade for most likely drugs. Quick cash.

Ahh shit. Ok so Prusa or Qidi is the way to go? I did some research last night. I’m just entirely new to the whole scene. So I’m a total noob.

Wait. I thought bambu made good printers? Why fuck them?

*I ask because I want a 3d printer for christmas and don’t know which to get. The bambu seems great.

Its been that long 😅 no way
