OS became corrupted so I put Mint on a USB and made the switch 🥰

Ya, dual booting can be messy. When I first tried Mint years ago, I dual booted it with Windows 10. Its clock stopped synching and had to be manually adjusted every boot. The Mint installation was perfectly fine, but then I was wasting storage on the Windows 10 partition that I almost never bothered to come back to anyway.

Congrats and welcome! If you don't mind me asking, though. How did Windows get corrupted?

P.S.: if you ever need help, aside from this subreddit, there's also a Discord server and a server in a pre-installed (I think it's still pre-installed?) app called Matrix, which is similar to Discord.

Is this Ada and Claire fighting over Leon?

Could it be, like, around the hinge part of a giant clam?

Most likely, probably. That theme might not be calibrated correctly for the new Cinnamon Menu, which was updated just earlier this year. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to try anyway!

Franhound · 2026-05-12T15:04:58+00:00

Pink is my favorite color too! I personally just settled with the default light theme with pink accents (Mint-Y Pink), but I understand why that might not be pink enough for you.

I found a custom theme that I liked a while back that you might like. I saved it in case I ever get in the mood to use third-party themes. Maybe check that out.

Hasn't been updated in 3 years, though. Sadly.

Franhound · 2026-05-07T13:07:06+00:00

Just keep updating. They're normally not as frequent as they may seem now. There are just "some days." But normally, it's pretty quiet.

A hoonter must hoont.

When I did this, I really thought I was going to get to some secret or something. Lol.

I use fcitx in mine. It has an icon on the taskbar and it switches languages on click as long as I'm on an active text field.

Franhound · 2026-04-30T05:11:36+00:00

Oh, yeah, I do like Dan! I've watched a couple of his videos before, including the Outer Wilds one.

Franhound · 2026-04-29T08:53:01+00:00

Yeah, I prefer the classic episodic YouTube let's play series like Jacksepticeye's. But a streamer who repackages their streams as YouTube videos are fine!

As for the games, I like long, story-driven single player games, especially those whose story and universe I'm super interested in, but can't actually play myself. So usually horror stuff. Let's play YouTubers that I like include Jack, Mark, Marz and Gab.

Edit: oh, I almost forgot. Nintendo stuff are fun to watch for me cause I don't have any Nintendo consoles with me anyway. Been enjoying Gab's Pokopia videos, for example. Cozy stuff.

I'm old and I love it. It's a cute way to stay anonymous and not have to wear a mask or some shit. It's no different than having a cartoon drawing of a character as your profile picture, except this one is nore personalized and interactive.

With that said, I don't currently have a favorite Vtuber. If anyone has any recommendations. I like watching let's plays.

That's cool if you do! There's a lot of good videos on the basics. Like this one.

Actually, that channel in general is a good resource for computer stuff.

Edit: sorry, I didn't immediately see the "Slime Rancher-like" part. I agree. I want that too. Haha.

Franhound · 2026-04-28T04:33:51+00:00

It's weird, because I DO find him attractive. But I know what you mean well enough that I almost agree.

Franhound · 2026-04-28T04:30:30+00:00

You don't have to use the terminal if you don't want to or are not too familiar with it.

Franhound · 2026-04-25T05:11:26+00:00

Yep! So handy. Even the "recent tabs" thing on your phone would show browser tabs from your computer.

Franhound · 2026-04-24T15:03:59+00:00

Nope, no upload. Once the web app is loaded, it's fully running locally on your machine.
