That’s the problem, I’m freelance and barely scraping by haha. I’d love to grab something to try out but it ain’t gonna happen right now. My laptop is a Samsung galaxy book3 ultra which I slapped Mint on a while back and had issues and went back with a cracked windows 11. Apparently linux and the galaxy book line don’t play well. But, I’m very tempted to try another distro on it first, like bazzite. Probably be the smart thing before touching my main PC.
LiveUSB
I had no idea this was a thing! So I can basically put a Linux distibution on a USB, boot into bios and run Linux without installing anything over my existing hdd? Researching a virtual machine has been on my radar, is that basically what this is?

Appreciate the advice, I’ll look into it more. I didn’t even think about an external cam haha. I use the laptop cam daily to video call family, I used to use Google home hubs for that but since I’ve deleted my Google account and stopped using the hubs I switched to Signal on the laptop. I’ll consider an external cam, though it’s not ideal. I’ll start digging again for options with Samsung chips.
Have you considered that they just told you they signed up?
Hot glue gun glue stick. Melt end, attach, wait a few, pull.
As far as my main PC, I’m a freelance voice actor, artist, and musician. My main concern is recording software and to a lesser extent, art software (I’ve tried Inkscape, but it’s a hard transition from photoshop). For recording I really don’t like Reaper, and I use Audition (I know, Adobe, haha) and Cubase for music which unfortunately doesn’t have a Linux option.
As per the laptop, it had some standard driver issues which were no big deal but apparently Mint doesn’t play well with Nvidia graphics cards. The webcam didn’t work but that’s a semingly standard issue. The biggest thing was Samsung chips and such from what I read really don’t play well with Linux, or at least Mint.
This is my plan going forward. Linux wasn’t on my radar when I bought my laptop (and my PC but that’s a different story about just being scared to try since I use it for work and I’m not convinced Linux has comparable software I need).
I got a wicked sale on a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra, and of course a few months after I started cutting BIg Tech out of my life (I was an idiot for buying Samsung to begin with but too late now haha). No more Meta, Amazon, or Google accounts or devices for me, and all I have left of Big Tech is Microsoft on my laptop and PC. I tried Mint as my first Linux attempt, and put it on my Samsung laptop. It…didn’t play well unfortunately. I’ve read Bazzite may work better but haven’t tried it yet.
Moral of the story, you nailed it. Going forward every bit of tech I buy will be vetted for FOSS support first.
For some thing new, I loved Common Side Effects.
Similar studies suggest the same, essentially the potential for cognitive decline by using ai to think for you. The headline implied nothing, you inferred. The word “suggests” does a lot of heavy lifiting.
He’s absolutely a threat to what the US has become. His policies and views are dangerous to a fascist state.
Now yer on the trolley!
Homer plays ring toss with a hoola hoop to get the house back in the carny episode Bart Carny. Classic!
It doesn’t send a notification though unfortunately.
I hate that it doesn’t send a notification though. I used the delay send feature on Textra for reminders but since switching to Signal it’s useless for that. I just want to send myself a message delayed by a few hours and get a notification when it sends. Only thing missing is the notification.
That actually makes sense, thanks!
I’m clearly the wrong generation too haha, because this still makes no sense:
If you gibbity bullshit an answer, you’re regarded as smarter than someone who searched it. The funny part is I’ve actually given it bullshitting a try, and it’s bullshitting is wrong so often that it bullshitting actually wastes my time. And, if it’s bullshit is right and I don’t agree, I can say it’s wrong, and with a 98% confidence level it changes the answer.
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.
What definition did you find? I could only find it meaning either bullshit or acting foolish, neither of which make sense in op’s post. Based on context I’d assume it’s basically “to google” using ai but I can’t find anything to back that up.
That’s probably why he’s pushing it, to set precedent. If he shows he won in 2020 then he can show he’s already a third term President, and since two terms have already been exceeded there’s no need to stop.
Well, I haven’t started yet and now I’m intrigued…
Thank you! Yep dumped Amazon, Meta, (never had anything Musk), and Google. All I have left is Microsoft for big tech, so Linux is my new focus.
