I’m an executive husband in my household. As a matter of fact, I’m the CEO of husbands at home. There isn’t a higher ranking husband than me in my place of residence.

I’m starting to read the Hobbit to my wife’s pregnant belly. My daughter is due in September so hopefully I’ll have read the full book by then. I’ll then read the Hobbit to her again when she’s old enough to retain it

I don’t use a whole bunch of software honestly, so it’s pretty easy to remember everything. I’m also dual booting still for a bit, so my windows partition has all the software too. All my games are on an external hard drive (I mostly play older games so the slower speed of an external HDD doesn’t really matter too much).

Adding to this, I’m a new Linux user, and I’m distro hopping a bit. I started with Mint, now I’m currently using Bazzite (basically Fedora Kinoite with some drivers and apps preinstalled for gaming to basically be plug and play), but I find rpm-ostree to be more confusing than whatever Ubuntu is based on so I might switch to another Ubuntu-based distro. It’s fun to discover what you like best though, so OP if you’re reading this, that’s my advice as someone in the same boat as you. Bounce around and see what works best.

I was hoping to have someone say that.

This fixed it. Thank you!

I just tried Super+P and did manage to get it to show on my laptop, but I still can’t get the image to show on the monitor. I tried hooking up my laptop to my tv and there were no issues. My monitor doesn’t have any issues with windows or mint either, just bazzite for some reason. And it didn’t have an issue when I was first installing it either.

KDE or gnome but I chose KDE.

I just tried that and it did sort of work, in that I can now use my laptop screen, but I still can’t find a way to get it to show on my monitor. I hooked up my laptop to my tv to see if that worked and it worked perfectly fine. My monitor doesn’t have any issues with windows or mint, just bazzite for some reason.

I just did the switch last night! I don’t regret it yet and doubt I will. You should give it a shot.

I managed to get it running last night and installed on my system. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

Okay update, part way through the installation process (before it actually started downloading, when it’s still asking questions about languages and location and password and all that) it said it failed and lost connection to the drive or something, then froze. When I tried to re-boot it, it started saying “invalid magic number, load kernel first” or something around those lines. It’s getting late here, so I’ll try it again tomorrow. If you know of anything I can try, I’ll attempt it when I get the chance.

I tried redoing it right after replying to you.

Just tried Ventoy, it worked perfectly. Thank you! I appreciate it.

It was just a regular usb drive as far as I know, nothing fancy. Completely clean before hand, new. I used Balenta Etcher to flash Linux Mint onto it. It was specifically the August 2023 version of BE if that makes a difference. The current version was bugging and would just freeze.

Pretty sure it was UEFI

It’s from a regular usb drive as far as I know. It’s new and never been used, didn’t hold anything on it until I flashed the Linux Mint ISO onto it. I used Balenta Etcher to flash it, not sure how to verify with it.

In case anyone is reading this and using an iPhone, Orion is the only iOS browser afaik to currently support uBlock Origin. I haven’t had a single ad since discovering that. Picture in Picture mode works too, as long as you go full screen with the video before swiping home. Hope this helps someone.

Love me some Stan Rogers. Top tier Canadian music. A shame he died so young.

What’s the breed? From the pic yours looks pretty similar to mine, who’s a wheaten terrier/poodle cross, and who looks very similar to a Portuguese water dog
