You can use the Polycentric protocol on Grayjay, though I doubt any creators actually read it.

Recalbox is an option

GL.iNet has a mesh router based on OpenWRT and supports WireGuard.

I have the Flint 2 and like it quite a lot but don’t have experience with this other router.

I personally haven’t ever had it that difficult. My laptop has an nvidia card running mint and is dual booting with Windows with no issues. I’ve previously setup an encrypted Ubuntu on an external drive that can be loaded on any computer without issues. I’ve used Bazzite on an all AMD modern gaming powerhouse, and Kinoite on two laptops with integrated graphics with no issues. Also KDE Neon on a crappy old HP Laptop with no issues.

So you may have done something wrong in the process of installation, maybe your USB drive was corrupted, or maybe you tinkered alittle too much while not knowing exactly what you were doing.

Good points

I suggest Fedora Kinoite. An atomic version of Fedora (meaning it’s hard to mess up and easy to revert if you do manage to f things up) and it uses the Plasma desktop. The kernel is quite up-to-date and everything feels modern. I’ve transitioned a few noobs from Windows and they haven’t had any issues besides learning basics that are just different than what they are used to.

Mint with Cinnamon feels outdated and Ubuntu is a thing of the past with questionable tactics and goals.

A dew months ago I built a computer with a 7600XT, I think a Sapphire, and indeed the fan would not turn on for light tasks

Never heard of this before. Is it widely used around the world? I know in Europe many people speak English, but do they also know this Esperanto?

I know she doesn’t have the “M” chip, so I’d guess it’s an Intel

Oh I didn’t realize it was like that. I’ll have to re-visit my Mom’s Macbook

Keychron has them. Here’s one example, the Q1

I use a VPN with NewPipe, no problems. I’m using the NewPipe repo for the app

Great! I’ve got my Dad on it, just need to get my mom off of her iPad now

Use Retro Music instead. Metro is a ripoff and doesn’t credit the original

Ah, I understand now. Thank you very much!

I never had much luck with Lutris either. Try Heroic games launcher. It’s fantastic with Linux and GoG

I hope it will release on GoG at some point

I recently got a Dell Latitude 14 2-in-1 with the AMD 8840U, Put on the latest Fedora Kinoite and the fingerprint reader works FYI.

I’d say a Keychron board with either Gazzew U4 or Zeal Zilent V2 switches. Their plastic frame keyboards are a great value and high quality. The Gazzew U4s are an absolutely amazingly quiet switch with a perfect bump at the very beginning of the press.

Great story. I have found that pretty much everyone I have shown Linux is pleasantly surprised with how nice it is. I think people have an idea of it being a hacker person OS with code running on the screen.
