Seconding this experience with Mint 21.3, although on a laptop here. I just wanted something that works without much fucking about, and it delivers.
Fleddit in June 2023. Was on kbin for a while but it’s been broken and janky lately, so I’m giving midwest.social a try now.

Yes, I have both. The desktop is pretty beefy and runs Windows (for now) and is mostly used for games and Adobe stuff. The laptop is a Thinkpad running Linux Mint, and is my couch computer. I use it for normal web browsing type stuff, and for managing my home lab server that sits in a closet in my basement. I also play some lightweight games on it via Steam/proton.

Jellyfin is excellent. You can always just download it and run it on whatever you’re running your existing setup on and give it a try. The server’s available for a bunch of platforms.
I have a regular-ass Amazon Fire TV stick 4k max that I use to play my Jellyfin content. It has native hardware support for h.265. I can’t remember the last time it needed a stream transcoded. Of course, it is encumbered with the Amazon ecosystem, but it was cheap.
I also have one of those $20 Walmart Android TV boxes. The UI is a little slow in it but it plays the same Jellyfin content just fine, and you can replace the stock launcher on it with whatever you want.
Currently playing: Yakuza Kiwami, released 2016. Yep.
Ayy, I have a Ryzen 7 based T14 Gen2. Wonderful machine. Enjoy!
Some form of Novell-era Suse Linux when I was in college… 20 years ago. I didn’t get it back then. Mint is my daily driver today.
The audiophile reality distortion field in effect again.
I left reddit last year during the API bullshit. 4chan is full of cancer, and Lemmy is pretty much the next biggest community that I could find. I’m also on a couple of smaller sites like Discuit and Tildes.
I have a large box of random cables, probably half of which are totally obsolete. Might need 'em someday.
It seems that most modern games aren’t made for people like me any more. I don’t care for multiplayer, and will not be buying any DLC or microtransaction shit. I just want a self-contained, high-quality single-player experience. There’s maybe a couple of games per year released that catch my interest now.
Malicious compliance. I hope the EU stomps on them hard.
I have experienced this in hot weather using one of those propane-fueled things for burning weeds, with a small 1lb tank. When running it full bore the tank gets super cold and eventually can’t provide enough gas to keep the flame going until it warms back up.
I just got the email about this today. My account had maybe 30k comment karma and 2k post karma. I deleted all of my stuff and haven’t been back to Reddit since last summer’s fiasco. Guess they’re not getting the uptake they expected on this bullshit, heh.
I’ve been working from home about 90% of the time since the pandemic lockdown era. I had a cheap office chair and had noticed my back starting to hurt after a few hours in it per day. I eventually wound up getting a Humanscale Freedom headrest chair, which has been awesome. These chairs are stupid expensive, but I bought mine used, and reeking of the previous owner’s perfume. It took months for the smell to completely go away, but I saved about $1,000 over buying one new, and it is otherwise in mint condition.
bet these shares come with no voting rights.
These things keep getting cheaper too. I just received an RG35XX H from Aliexpress with both 64GB and 128GB Micro SD cards for a whopping $47 shipped.
