No issues gaming on Mint! Tried bazzite couldn’t get into it. Just doesn’t feel usable daily and to game. Mint is just too polished and convenient.

All you people with multiple profiles better have insane backup strategies and love doing it often and it’s a removed. You have to backup each profile and restore individually once booted back up starting with owner then one after another. It’s a nightmare.

You also cannot use a single drive to backup each profile as the backup reading process that distinguishes each profile does not understand.

Meaning the same drive cannot even be partitioned to have a save of each profile. It requires different drives entirely. The absolute simplest process for backups are having a flash drive for each profile. Graphene os is very cumbersome to backup and DOES NOT backup all data. Once you restore from a backup you’ll understand all the pains I say, including the data you have to restore separately. A good backup is only good if you know you can restore and it works.

Hope this helps people refine their profile strategies. Most people avoid owner usage. I think there are pros and cons to that strategy. Like no pop up messages, notification delays, many other lacking options outside of owner profile like certain settings are unavailable to tweak. Including dev mode.

I’ve used graphene for years, across multiple pixel generations. It’s not the white knight made out to be. Their project is very silo’d in security and lacks the true polish of a complete OS. I still use it and think it has great merit just note the drawbacks are many. There’s so much more to add. It is late in my timezone. Hope this helps someone.

I think after testing multiple strategies that the best is to main owner, business and Google stuff 2nd, sketchy apps and things you don’t care if they get lost to delete the phone back to factory. Backup 1 and 2 only. 3 or more are throwaways. You have far more threats to lose your data from theft or social engineering by friends or family etc. than you do someone hacking multiple encrypted browsers with sandboxes of apps and then across encrypted profiles. Most of those scenarios are too complex but your imagination makes them appear big and real because of movies or TV.

Reality is the true threats are often much easier and simple. Bad actors tend to be least effort to get their goal. Nor are most Jason Bourne.

I think this accurate or close to it for phones but my laptop battery a Dell has degraded very quickly through 50 plus or more cycles of battery like 15 percent. It went from 59wh down to 50wh and it ebbs and flows. Runs Linux mint and installed power top and some other low power mods to help dumb things down to conserve. I feel like arm processors vs x86 are wildly different.

What the fuck…

The wolf just AWHOOOs. I am the wolf spirit.

Perhaps if these high profile people use it, it must be worth using? Fuck those people but there has to be a legit reason you’d think.

😂 Damn… I feel that.

This sounds like a question that could easily potentially doxx someone. Just saying.

I have never had an issue and I’ve ran mint on dozens of PCs, laptops, audio outputs. Perhaps this is something to do with hardware or something proprietary. Even certain cords your connecting with. Mint and especially LMDE based on Debian is and has been the most flawless experience even on old hardware and current I have ever seen.

I dislike Ubuntu backends and find their support eventually introduces some breakage and prefer the stability of Debian but the polish of mint is top notch. I’ve used external speakers, headsets, TVs, monitors, and even blue tooth on mint to nearly never having an issue. Aside from having to select which output I want the sound to go to.

I find this odd especially given your using “dumb” desktop style speakers.

Thanks for the link. Wild.

How do you know which models do and dont? Print tracking dots.

Yes. Sold a car on a good deal with some tattoo work to be done as small partial payment for the last few hundred.

The guy had multiple books of what seemed like good work. Turns out things are often taken fresh when they look great. The real artist takes them after their healed.

Faded, not in my art style asked, it’s entirely not what I wanted, I wanted the words but not the style.

No I haven’t covered it up, I forget its there. I’ve thought about it. Wish I didn’t get a tattoo to begin with but oh well. Live and learn.

Try green tea. Slight perk up. Minimal caffeine. Good antioxidants. Drink no more than 2 a day. Stick to a single one each morning or time of day your groggy. Let your body readjust and you’ll feel a lot better.

What goes up must come down. Cause And effect. I feel this deeply. I been thinking about this a lot. Glad to see someone else nailed it.

Look for different types of automotive push clips, construction adhesive like loctite 3PL or similar.

See what the manufacturer uses and do that.

Joplin and Obsidian.

Encrypt your data period. A burglar isn’t going to worry about your home lab unless it’s oozing money from the look of it.

Your family and friends will be the ones to snoop your data. So know that and prepare accordingly.

A thief is going to steal car wheels, weapons, tools, electronics that seem resellable, gold and jewelry, things of immediate value to sell or trade for most likely drugs. Quick cash.

Scrolled the entire page. Just to not see hill climb racing, and slither.io

Fail fast and fail forward. Don’t be afraid to start, be afraid of looking back having never done anything. Regret is poison.

Learn what the pareto principle is and live by it. Be efficient.

When life gets hard focus on what’s in front of you not on the world, ideology, news, thats all distraction. Learn to stay in the moment, what’s right here, right now, infront of you.

Cherish loved ones. Focus on your health now. Your health can be gone at a moments notice, life is about balance. Every action has a reaction.

Focus on your strengths not your weaknesses. You have infinite weaknesses. Your strengths will be your lynchpin at times.

Always be curious. Don’t lose the will to learn and ask questions. Knowledge is everything.

Always stay moving physically that is biggest key to health diet and exercise and good sleep. Stay doing something productive. Being idle is the devils playground.

Listen to your gut during times of uncertainty. Trust very little of others. Words mean nothing. Actions never lie.

I have monetized all of my hobbies it is something I naturally do. I have been self employed my entire life aside from odd jobs.

Does it kill the passion? Somewhat but not in the way your thinking. That being said it opens a lot of doors to dive deeper into your passion and interest as well if you keep the flame alive. It’s all goal orientated.

What kills the hobbies are the pressure to perform even when your back is against the wall. Like when you have bills to pay and you rely on that money to survive that is what kills the drive for the hobbies. You start to do things for money, rather than pursuing things based on interest. This will taint your drive if you let it. But if you have strong enough passions it won’t kill them outright, more of burn you out on them until you grow in revenue passed the needs of life or give up and go back to a job. Once you make enough to survive fully at your own comfort level. Then that opens you up mentally again for the joy because the pressure is mostly gone and then you can utilize the monetary gains to reinvest in the hobby you love but on a grander scale, it opens your mind to options/dreams.

You shift from what you have to do, to what you can do.
