had a very hard time finding mullvad servers that could play youtube, but ivpn doesn’t seem to have that issue at all

that’s why I use my city balls to explain stuff

try disabling or enabling hardware acceleration in firefox

according to https://linux-hardware.org/ your MB is supported on mint 22.1 too, the problem may be that default kernel is 6.8, though 6.11 is available if you can get far enough to change it. also you can get even newer kernels manually. another version of this MB has been probed only in fedora so far. fedora is faster with the updates, you could have better luck with that. ubuntu always has been a nightmare for me with every machine I’ve tried it on, would not recommend.

if you’re getting igpu instead of the real one, which one did you plug your monitor into? do not use the motherboard hdmi or dp, use the gpu ones. also, disable the igpu from bios.

Life quality improvement tip: disable that from steam download settings.

Thank you, kind stranger. I and many others probably would’ve never found this out.

I use onlyoffice too, but are there other foss options? It’s just terrible all around. Like you can’t even copy and paste text in the writer, formulas don’t work for no good reason in spreadsheets, and the android app crashes so often you can’t make one formula and get it saved before it craps out. Libreoffice is perfect, but I need the cloud 😅 at this point I’m considering paid options or just crawling back to google

Yep it does that, and it gets annoying. I’m switching just because of that, just don’t know where yet.

Mullvad repo doesn’t work in mint. The .deb does not update automatically. You have to download it manually every time you want to update it.

If your hardware is supported and you find a distro that plays well with it, there are no cons

Tried this, she got VERY mad at me for touching her without consent

Green beans!

I did that keyboard prank too at work on a tester pc, just swapped m and n and a few others. People were pissed as fuck and they knew it was me.

When I was in vocational school, back then you could flip the display upside down by ctrl alt down (with amd GPUs I think), so in the IT classroom when no one was there, I logged in to every pc and flipped the screens. Next class was canceled because IT was busy and nobody knew how to fix them.

It’s fine on desktop, but the android app is too buggy to use for editing. It’s ok for viewing, but editing makes it crash constantly. Also making even simple formulas is painful, it just won’t cooperate

Onlyoffice should be mentioned. Has a mobile app too, though it absolutely sucks ass. It’s fine for viewing, but it just crashes more often than you can save your document (spreadsheets at least)

I use mint, and it’s easier than on windows… You open driver manager, tap on the newest driver, click apply. Then restart.

My 3.2 vw passat had 250k km or 155k freedom units and it worked like a dream. It even had the much feared dsg gearbox. I only swapped it for audi a4 because I got bored with it.

For me it was that I don’t want a goddamn spying, AI infested, laggy, ugly, rounded, babysitting win11, so I need to get out of the bill gates ecosystem. And I did, quite easily.

Cars are unique, get one that was properly maintained. You will hear a lot of “avoid germans, get a toyota” but I had 0 problems with my previous vw and audi, while my family and friends all had japanese cars and spent ridiculous amounts fixing them. A car’s history matters the most. Oh and stay the hell away from anything french.
