My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we’ll seek out a fruit or vegetable we’ve never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?

    Install Debian Mint on my old laptop and see how much I can get working on it. My ultimate ambition is to replace all my Windows 10 activity entirely by the end of 2024

      I installed Debian in a dual boot in November and there’s only one game I haven’t got working yet. Everything else for work and fun has either worked or I’ve found a substitute.

      I can recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon after installing it on a secondhand Dell with like four gigs of RAM. The Xfce version was kinda jank… and I couldn’t get it to do super+direction docking.

      Been running an earlier install on this desktop for a couple years now. Mint has been the low-bullshit option since Ubuntu decided all windows would be left-handed because Mark Shuttleworth said so. In-between was a decade of Windows 7, which honestly I’d still be using if it was secure enough to expose to the internet. About the only feature I haven’t cloned successfully is a multi-row taskbar.

      Doing the same but with Fedora on my old desktop. I’ve been messing around with Linux for some time now but this is the first time I’ve tried to put a serious attempt into setting up a development environment and move to Linux for gaming.

      I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get the games working. Now if I can just figure out how to get vortex or MO2 to work to mod Bethesda games I’ll be happy.
