It's been 2 minutes and I have already uninstalled sync. This is a FANTASTIC app. Kudos devs. I will be sending $ shortly.

...what the fuck do I do with my level 34 engineer?

So I swapped over to Pop!_os a couple of weeks ago, having never used Linux in my life. Honestly I blame Lemmy, but I am good with it. It has been a fantastic change.

During this swap - I was trying to find some games to install. I guess this forced me to re-assess my digital collection and rediscover things.

I started playing slay the spire, control, guild wars 2, against the storm, path of exile, caves of qud, and just so many other things I forgot I had or moved on from.

Anyway - just an observation that Linux has somehow managed to rekindle the gamer in me after a stressful last year.

Anyway, thats all. Thanks to all of y'all for helping me troubleshoot everything.

Edit: ...more OF my games.

I find myself on my phone way more than I want to be. It is a distraction. However, for everything it does distract me from, it still is a useful tool.

I have tired usage blocking apps. But since I can just turn it off - it doesn't really work.

I take pictures to remember things, and I worry that the light phone not having a camera will be a problem... but I am also just thinking I could just write things down I guess.

Anyway I'm just wondering if any of you switched to a dumb phone and have noticed a positive impact on your life.

Still very new to the whole Linux world and I am looking for some help.

I just acquired an old 2007 MacBook, it's in great shape & runs osx lion perfectly - but I want to put Linux on it so I can turn it to an extremely light casual gaming / pico-8 practice / media machine

I know that it is 64 bit

I have tried to boot both Elementary OS and Zorin OS Lite - but both just don't progress after selecting install from the boot screen.

I did manage to get PuppyLinux to run... however - I am not quite experienced enough yet to know my way around that yet... and I am a vain man who comes from a Ux design background and it's difficult for me to get past how PuppyLinux looks.

I have not tried Xubuntu yet, I think that will be next on my list of stuff to try tonight, but I was curious if anyone else has had any success reviving old 2007 MacBooks and just wondering what you used.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Edit: Model is MacBook A1181

Ahoy - I am as green as green can be when it comes to using any Linux OS, so please forgive any ignorance, I am learning as I go, I only installed this yesterday and I have zero Linux experience.

I use a Samsung smart TV as my external monitor and my computer is a Lenovo Legion y540 gaming laptop with 16gig of ram - its about 4 years old at this point i think. It still plays the games I like to play with no issues at all and when I was using windows, my tv worked great as my monitor for all of my games fps' and otherwise - sure its not like top of the line gaming specs, but it works for me ya know.

Now that I have swapped over to linux mint, i am having very very very noticeable lag on the external monitor. My mouse cursor is delayed by like a quarter of a second, and almost by a second when I boot up a game.

I am using the most current open source driver for my graphic card, because if i use the recommended NVIDIA driver, the monitor wont recognize at all.

I have a GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile in this laptop.

I've tired looking into this last night but was stumped, so any guidance from you all would be wonderful.

Thank you in advance

Also please let me know what other info I can provide (and how I can provide it - again - super new here on Linux Mint)

Edit: I resolved the issue by using Pop!_os instead of Mint, I assume it is a driver issue because Nvidia - however there are several suggestions I did not try below that may have worked as well - but I think Pop!_os will be much more on brand for me. Thanks for the help all!

I think it's been incredibly good.

It's tough and rewarding. I'm stuck at the level where you fight the stealthed ACs right now so I am working on changing up my build, but I haven't been excited by a game this much in a long while!

Can't wait to climb the arena and try the multiplayer mode.

Title - I just wanna listen to chill music and grind. What should I do?

Stoked to have 3 VW bugs now - and a rabbit! These will look legit when i get wastelandified.

Read this article a while back and thought I would share it. I love how much the movie ingrains itself in some of us - like it really did make us who we are.

I've always like finding places that have been in movies. I live in Durham, so seeing my whole city in the movie Bull Durham and being able to walk where the actors walked is really satisfying to me. I dont know why.

I've been to new york a couple of times. The first time I visited, I swear we ate in the same restaurant where Agent Gil had his card cut, but I cannot remember the location exactly.

I also saw the Lloyds building in London last year!.. but I most hunted down Harry Potter locations while I was there.
