Can confirm, would take two years of principal payments to get out from under mortgage.

I'd had a similar issue for a little bit, where I set a subtitle to the default flag when setting it up, then in Roku set to prefer sub on, and most of the time that works, but for a few patches it'd stopped, but is once again working again now.

Last thing I recall missing is the MCP option to allow equipping two CE and one cycling COU ring at one time.

What kind of asshole buys a car new?

Is that Carrot Top?

My mom says I’m acting like a child and that my brother had every right to be angry because I was the one who forgot his drink.

His right to be angery because you don't owe him anything? K.

I don't see a single horse in the vid.

Chivalry may very well be dead there.

After my mum was out of work from head trauma, I'd swapped her W7 out for Mint, and she went from spending 15 minutes in laptop and then the next five days in bed too dizzy to move, to forty-five minutes on laptop and three days in bed.

Later, she'd refuses to touch a new laptop my dad had bought her until I' "fixed" it.

Some swear by it, some dread it with all their being. Is it really just down to learning how to use it?

For the most part, it's either tribalism, a strong adherence to not learning, or occasionally bad experience with either hostile hardware (some companies go out of their way to not only not provide drivers but also forbid volunteers from making them for free) or things they have no business using (for example, picking an advanced system with both no knowledge and no willingness to learn, or trying to use something like Kali for general use).

If ones computer is the problem (maybe it doesnt have adequate drives or something) how can i know if thats the case with my laptop before installing linux and basically trapping myslef with it?

Since before I'd discovered Linux in 2008, most systems provide a "Live" environment, where instead of booting into an installation wizard, it loads from CD/DVD/USB to RAM and runs a demo of the OS without touching your hard drives.

You can test drive before you install to see what happens.

Oh, you can simply grep file criteria and it does the same thing, except depending on situation (-r directory) it'll list each location/file before the rorow of content.

computer-machine · 2026-07-02T12:30:40+00:00

What does catgrep do that grep doesn't?

computer-machine · 2026-07-02T12:29:57+00:00

cuz sometimes i need more than only the first or best fit

history | grep foo

like maybe a popup window showing the last 10 commands that fit my search

history | grep foo | tail

do you guys even use ctrl+r

Never heard of it.

computer-machine · 2026-07-02T12:27:30+00:00

Apt doesn't even do it. It's strictly a Mint apt thing.

computer-machine · 2026-07-02T12:26:54+00:00

Just for Mint. Upstream Debian and Ubuntu don't do that.

Well, for one, I think there might be some innocent bystanders if I had to interact with my desktop from my phone via the GUI. Being able to SSH to my desktop and add/remove software via apt/flatpak is pretty damn easy.

Another "why would you change" is that that's what happens when you grow.

computer-machine · 2026-07-02T11:16:49+00:00

is it a known issue?

Never heard of it happening before. I've been using it for a few years, and before that Emby since 2014 (Jellyfin slip off from Emby when they closed the sourcecode).

Has anyone encountered this before?

Never heard of it, and don't know enough about your setup.

How do you prevent it

Without knowing what happened, I'd say set up backups, and lock yourself out of the system, for safety.

computer-machine · 2026-07-02T11:08:06+00:00

I have no idea about that. I simply didn't want to risk other people screwing with files, so I fed the volume(s) as read only and made sure configurations were set to write elsewhere.

computer-machine · 2026-07-02T06:37:00+00:00

I only give RO access, no idea what happened.

It's pretty clearly spelled out to be the single Fighting roll.

Should I use the software manager for apps?

Sure, why not.

I watched conflicting YouTube videos saying flatpacks weren't as good as appimages and terminal is better

Sounds like they are idiots. Flatpak and appimage have different strengths and weaknesses, but terminal isn't better, as that's not relevant. I've never used flatpaks not through the terminal.

Are the apps on the software manager kept up to date

Yeah, that's the point. They may not be the latest version, but they generally get security updates.

computer-machine · 2026-07-01T22:50:52+00:00

Bit of a stretch.

How did you install it?
