I'm going to second the Qidi line. They're fantastic.

Find an old chrome book that has an x86 cpu and can do core boot. I got mine for $10.

I still think with a global effort we can get that number to zero.

I think you're right but Nintendo's trying to change that in its fight against Pal World.

OpenAI would like a chat

The secret was an extraction shooter using DnD Classes. It's very unique and not derivative at all.

And since it's modular you can always upgrade!

Anyone dive into Reticulum with meshchat, sideband, and nomad? in c/[email protected]

Awesome! I've been trying to figure out Reticulum and it's a bit of a brain twister. Very flexible. Have you looked at meshcore? I kinda love it, looks like it can be a good successor to Meshtastic.

Framework for sure. Built for Linux and upgradeable.

Yea and the purists are getting heated back. You're obviously at a learning gap, and that's the firmware gap. It's annoying. But with older hardware it "just works".

I'm guessing since mint is Debian based it's not getting the latest and greatest firmware blobs, or it's on an older kernel.

What's your hardware? What version of Linux mint?

You might want to try some gaming specific distros as they are a little more cutting edge. I'd suggest giving Bazzite or Nobara a try. Bazzite is immutable, so if it's not working on first boot just give up and switch. But it is my personals favorite.

Both are based on Fedora which is a little more cutting edge.

You also might want to try Manjaro which is like Arch Linux with training wheels. It may just work on boot.

Edit: Bazzite and Nobara will have Nvidia specific ISOs, so getting drivers working is no big deal. The core and legacy systems (Ubuntu, mint, Fedora, opensuse) all take a little more effort to get Nvidia working. Their spinoffs often times include the driver for you.

Bro. You need to grab for sanity right now. Switch back to windows until you're ready to take another dive. It's worth it imo, but a lot of these comments are just plane unhelpful. Linux is great, if it's not working for your hardware try a different tact.

Nvidia support just turned a corner at the end of last year. It's getting much much better.
