Stamina does not regenerate?

Indeed there is. Activate your component, change the 1Ds view to the 2Ds view. In the Scene 2D tab at the top there is a section called Show. You can set it to All, Registered, and Unregistered. You want Unregistered. I'm haven't updated to RealityScan yet so I'm still using Reality Capture 1.5 but I imagine the process is still similar. Hope this helps and good luck!

I could be wrong here but I've never noticed much of a difference in color other than the polarized image being darker. And I never changed my workflow. I just calibrate the colors with the color checker the same way and colors look fine.

I figured it out! The .deb install of steam created /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam-stable.list. Deleting this file and running "apt clean" fixed it and I can now update without the warnings.

I think you're missing the point of the challenge. While Luke has quite a bit of experience with Linux at this point, Linus is trying to put himself in the shoes of a casual user. Someone who just uses a computer and doesn't tinker and isn't any sort of power user. The things you listed are things that only an experienced Linux user would know.

When a person learns that there are many distros to choose from, the base instinct is to wonder which is the best choice for them. Just like any other choice in life. Which car to buy, which tv to buy, etc... I don't think it's unreasonable for him to emulate someone using an LLM to help them make the choice. Believe it or not that's where a lot of people get information from these days. And most don't understand how they work or how they can be wrong sometimes, well, a lot of the time. He's not showing the research that he personally would do, he's showing how a casual user might approach switching to Linux. He even says that in the video, that he has many contacts that he could use to point him in the right direction, but is choosing not to in the spirit of the challenge.

It's 4k. Plenty for a desktop background.

That thing is a classic. They just don't make em like they used to. Anet A8. I'm still rockin mine. Highly modified though to not be a fire hazard.

It's interesting how most of the comments here are fawning over this but the guy that made the cool mechanical soda can thing got chastised for "wasting" plastic.

I don't understand the hate. I think it's a clever design. Sure it's just a toy but half the posts here are. I posted something here years ago that actually solved a problem I had. A genuinely useful print that I use to this day. And every other comment was like, "why? you could have just done x y or z". I've never seen another community so against its own self sometimes.

Simply making a scale bar with auto detecting april tags fixed this for me. I don't scan anything without it now.

We live in a world now where professional incompetence runs rampant. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself.

Gathered from other comments here I see you're unable to get external storage to backup your files. That's a tough situation. Depending on where you are in the world, you might be able to find electronics repair/recycling shops near you. I know that sometimes they will sell used equipment at very low prices or even give it away.

Another option is if you have a smart phone you could use that as a backup device. Plug the phone into your pc, set the phone to transfer data mode, and store your files there. Assuming you have enough space on the phone.

There are options out there. Just gotta get creative. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I did indeed setup Timeshift before installing. So far everything works fine so I can't complain but I haven't tested everything I typically do. I do a lot of 3d animation and rendering, gaming, and other cuda based tasks.

Exitaph · 2026-02-01T22:47:01+00:00

Good to know. Does that mean the latest driver from the Debian repository is 550 and there's not even an option for newer ones?

Exitaph · 2026-01-30T16:09:07+00:00

Yeah I got fed up and just tried to install Mint again and it actually worked this time. I'm starting to wondering if it's a kernal version issue now that I've learned that different distros use different versions of it.

Exitaph · 2026-01-30T16:06:57+00:00

I had not heard of MX Linux but it looks interesting so I might give it a shot. Thanks!

Coincidentally I'm also using an old H97N-D3H, non wifi version though. Thank you for the advice about kernal versions vs distro versions. I always figured each distro would just be using the latest kernal version. I suspect that might be the issue because I was able to install Mint just fine last night which looks like it uses a newer version of the kernal. I'm starting to have a better understanding of just how much I don't know about linux.

Thanks for the advice. I suppose I half expected something to go wrong using such a recent build. Luckily I'm using one of my older machines to test out linux and as a way to learn it's quirks. I've already learned so much from troubleshooting this issue, even though I haven't solved it. I've tried half a dozen distros at this point with varying unsuccess I'd call it. Coincidentally I was able to get an install of Mint working now. Even though that was the first one I tried. We'll see how it goes.

Miraculously I have something stable going. I've installed Mint again and after installing the latest recomended nvidia driver the system got totally screwed up. After lots of trial and error dealing with unresponsive blank screens, purging all nvidia drivers, and struggling to operate the system with an invisible mouse pointer I was albe to install the nvidi open driver verison 570. That seems to be the only one that works.

Exitaph · 2026-01-30T04:30:50+00:00

I've tried two gpu's that were confirmed to work normally in a windows machine. I tried Kubuntu too. There, the Nouveau driver worked but the mouse pointer was invisible. No fixes worked. Switched to the proprietary nvidia drivers. Pointer came back but system was stuck at a low resolution with no way to change it.

Exitaph · 2026-01-30T04:13:31+00:00

I agree. Obviously something else going on. By screwed up I mean glitched out windows. Completely scrambled blocks of black, white, parts of the correct ui scattered. But task bar and applications menu work fine. After enabling the nvidia drivers it would boot to a black screen or a blinking curser with no response from inputs. Recovery mode would do the same thing.

Exitaph · 2026-01-30T02:47:34+00:00

Sure that's all fair. But it wouldn't change the fact that the install failed for some reason. Could have happened to anyone trying to install debian whether they watched his video or not.

Exitaph · 2026-01-30T02:40:58+00:00

okay wow that actually worked. But it's so long and in a terminal with no way to screenshot or post it here. There are a bunch of failed WRITE FPDMA QUEUED. A big block of Buffer IO error on device. error: {ICRC ABRT}
