Best advice is can give you is to #DOCUMENT everything you do for what reason and how it works inside your config file. So you know what each code block does and how it executes making your entire config dummy proof also helps learn the syntax super fast!

I see how they differ now. Local vs self hosted. Niche use. But I get your idea especially helpful between partners I suppose. Keep it going! Let’s see where it lands in time. Personally I think the name is hard to remember and pronounce correctly which means it might not be super catchy and really take off. My opinion and in no way should deter you. Perhaps tweak the name. Overall though good job and keep going. This not a negative thing I say. Just to trying to help you refine the idea to success. Best of luck!

The shitty aspect is their actually not bad hardware. They last forever and seem to be held in high regards in the tech community but it’s as if people forgot a decade later than their still owned by Chinese. Still banned for security reasons for military use even currently after 20 years. Now the military still supplies them just not for mission critical purposes but for personal devices not govt use.

Wild. Every tech person at some point shills for Lenovo and they do have great things. Just screams Trojan horse to me still. IMO

Why not use drip or mensinator? Both FOSS.

Isnt lenovo the company that used to make the rugged military laptops that actually had Chinese or foreign backdoors installed?

Edit 2 from a quick search. Lenovo laptops have faced allegations of containing backdoor vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access to data, particularly concerning military use. These concerns have led to bans on Lenovo products by various intelligence agencies due to potential cybersecurity risks.

Lenovo Laptops and Backdoor Concerns

Background on Lenovo’s Security Issues

Lenovo, a Chinese technology company, has faced multiple allegations regarding security vulnerabilities in its laptops. These concerns primarily revolve around potential backdoors that could allow unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Notable Incidents

Year Incident Description 2008 U.S. military investigators reported finding backdoored chips in Lenovo motherboards, which allegedly logged keystrokes and transmitted data.

2013Intelligence agencies in the U.S., UK, and Australia banned Lenovo PCs due to backdoor vulnerabilities discovered during testing.

2015The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charged Lenovo for pre-installing adware that created security vulnerabilities, leading to a settlement.

2016The Pentagon warned that Lenovo computers could introduce compromised hardware into the Defense Department.

How tf. I do this all the time and want to jump off a cliff. I didn’t know this existed.

Nobody is trying to screw these fools.

This. Plus offline games. All the online micro transaction bullshit is pathetic.

Doing the lords work! 🫶

Up to date mesa is in regular mint but only sort of. You have to manually go bleeding edge if you want by installing mesa drivers manually. Base Mint is a few versions behind on purpose, stability and I would say your kernel version makes a bigger difference in the end given how good mint is I recommend 6.14 kernel especially on fresh hardware, you can change your kernel version anytime in the update manager preferences, 6.8 is old but stable. 6.14 is newer, faster in gaming. Unless your on brand new, brand new released hardware this a non issue truly.

Most people will be fine with stock mint and you can’t go wrong much with either. I game on stock mint full time! Windows only for BF6/dual boot. It’s all I knew for several years was mint before going to NIXos and fedora and more… My hardware is 7900xt 7600x. Full AMD on my rigs though I’ve built intel Nvidia… I’ve built dozens of PCs/laptops/servers as I build and sell them. You honestly can’t go wrong with either version but all I am saying is that if you hate bugs, updates ocassionally doing odd things especially to steam and proton. LMDE. I’ve been on mint for years this is just my 2 cents. I also value not fucking with my OS anymore I dislike command line memorization. I’m done tinkering and fixing shit all the time and prefer GUI or shit to just work ideally I’ll trouble shoot for a few minutes then I stop, no more days tied up over dumb shit. With windows or Linux. LMDE is my choice. Best of luck.

There are thousands of packages. Download off the internet and boot it. Just like a normal distro mostly. Nix is the single largest package manager even far surpassing arch and others. If they could refine the process it could be the end all be all right new to Debian and mint.

I’ve used nix for roughly a year. Flakes is the way to go. It’s the most simple cut and dry shit works distro aside from Linux mint but the caveat is you have to essentially learn how the nix config file works. You can install your configuration file on any machine, anytime, anywhere and it’ll boot as your exact carbon copy. Its a great distro you can trust to maintain with two files entirely. Cake to remember and backup.

Downsides are keeping config file backed up often. And knowing that anything you want done has to go into config document. I can answer any questions. I’m busy so I can’t type more.

I suggest LMDE not regular mint. Normal mint updates often and ocassionally with bugs while rare and mostly I see for gaming they do happen. Stability and reliability are king. So LMDE aka Linux mint debian edition. Its entirely the same as normal mint made by the same people but it’s rock solid unlike Ubuntu version.

Sincerely I’ve used both to game and daily pc usage even work. LMDE no questions.

I don’t believe this metric list. There’s no way some if these shows are all time high views especially that some of them are older and while good metrics usually follow the hot new show or movie not old content.

Guilty as charged!

Internal temp is 120 not 165 so you ate it partially cooked?

Ok ok some of these gets cheezy but fr I feel wildly attacked on this one. This us true ADHD 😁

Fent lean…

Not all . ml people are crazy cases. Its not guilty by association. I joined ML early in its life with the Reddit exodus because it was the developer instance and I thought this would have more programming and tech people on this instance.

All good. Shipping is an option. But shop around and try to pull an XT model or a 6900xt can be sometimes had for 6800xt amount. I know because I just scored a 6900xt for 345usd.
