I rip music to play in the car for my kids. Mostly mix tracks they like.

Says new keyboard layouts in wayland. It’s likely still experimental.

I have bazzite, it also includes graphics drivers ready to go which is nice. If you’re going to use steam for gaming i find it great. But this distro is not needed for gaming, one can install and game on any of the popular distros. You’re friend needs to try a few and see what feel best for them.

I installed Khan kids for my child to use without needed a tablet.

Good thing the Nintendo wii is cheaper to pick up and still works offline… and can be modded… My library still has wii games. Lego star wars!

Sorry to hear. I think there are some firmware downgrades around to flash to some of the pc drives to get ripping working, unless this is specific to this particular movie.

You might have a bad disk, do an exchange. I have had many bad uhd disks from new boxes over the years. I wish optical storage wasnt used for this kind of thing.

I wonder how much is just due to the default phone launcher and keyboard.

I haven’t used arch (yet) to form an opinion. I do however run bohi on a laptop. It’s been rock solid, but I offten scratch my head when I’m using it and end up questioning my life choices.

Check out the YT videos from Explaining Conputers for some more comparisons of distros for starting out.

I want to question life: bohi linux

Yeah, my neighbor’s believed in this a lot. My counter argument was always “How can you vote for hate?” Wasn’t anyone around for his first term?

Wow really? I have tried to use Turbo tax and QuickBooks a few times with wine and no success. Maybe time for a revisit.

Have we forgotten the Nintendo Wii already? Sure its not a pc, but it was in nearly everyone’s living room.

Evening is going ok, but noticed the screen saver on jellyfin isn’t showing up lately… need to investigate…

Also, watched the latest “Explaining Computers” episode today.

Yeah, i have an example of this. I spent since time today building a local copy of handbrake have it run in a distrobox of arch to get AMD hardware acceleration as an option. The flatpak version refused to do this. It wasn’t too bad, but still wild i did this.

Maybe Tiny 11 was the answer?

Cool. It’s pretty slow on my machine. I almost tempted to pickup one of those mini pcs with windows 11 on them and just use it for that one thing… But it’s only a though and not a very good one… Lol

Have you considered a Windows vm? That’s how i run that single program that i can’t get working on Linux. Yeah it’s slow AF on my system, but it’s not used often.

I’m just starting reading the book The Circle and I just got to the post where they announced the same thing.
