AntiMicroX. I use it for the same reason.

If you have a mic, also consider using Talon to navigate with voice. Saying “talon wake” and “open freetube” instead of navigating with a controller saves a lot of time.

You could pickle it with vinegar and salt

The material can be used like regular plastic when coated,

Coated with what? If you say PFAS, this is worse than microplastics.

If you have back problems, get a wide desk, a smaller desk to place on one side, set up two workspaces for one computer, and place a treadmill under the one where you can stand.

Then alternate between sitting and walking with timers. I recommend 10 minutes of walking, 30 minutes of sitting, rince and repeat. Your back issues will be as much as cured, and you’ll also not have to worry about heart problems because you’ll essentially be walking a few kilometers every day.

If you can’t sit for 30 minutes, 10 min walking and 5 minute sitting works just as well. Just don’t walk for too long at a time. 10-20 minutes is a good amount. If you’re fine with just standing, I still r ecommend alternating. Don’t stand for more than 30 minutes at a time.

If I didn’t have this setup I would have been without a job right now. Absolutely recommend it.

I see. I remember there used to be issues with Intel GPUs on linux back 10-15 years ago, but it should work without issues today.

However, on Linux mint you do have to open the driver manager and select your proprietary graphics driver yourself or you end up with the open source one which is not always as performant (though more backwards compatible). It should have the Intel drivers in there too. In general, only the graphics drivers need to be installed by the user and everything else should be set automatically.

And in the case they were installed, rolling back to an earlier version of the driver might also improve it. It looks like Intel has stopped providing updates to the i7-3770 since a few years back, so a later Intel driver could be causing issues.

It should work without any choppiness in the OS itself, but it might take a bit more configuration than newer ones that generally just immediately work.

Mind if I ask some things? If you don’t want to try again, you can ignore this.

Did this happen while you were trying it out on the USB, or had the installation finished and you had removed the USB and restarted?

Were the nvidia d rivers installed in the driver manager? Was there any difference with the open source drivers?

Was secure boot disabled in your BIOS?

Was it a laptop or desktop? In case of laptop it might have been using battery saver mode. installing https://github.com/linrunner/TLP might have helped setting it up properly if you don’t want to handle it yourself.

What graphics card do you have? I can check if there are any compatibility issues, though there shouldn’t be unless it is decades old, in which case you might want to try out one of the more old hardware compatibility focused Linux distros.

Sounds like something went wrong with the installation. Mint is overall more performant than windows. What slowed down?

Maybe if we ask nicely.

I for one will be looking forward to getting mid-spec PCs dirt cheap.

If you switch to programming.dev most political stuff gets automatically filtered away unless you’re subscribed to it. Give it a try.

I was willing to overlook:

• The bed costs $2,000
• It won’t function if the internet goes down
• Basic features are behind an additional $19/mo subscription
• The bed’s only controls are via mobile app

My man would have been willing to overlook having Jeff bezos himself sleep in his bed with him before realizing what was happening.

Grayjay still works fine.

LMMS doesn’t seem to pack the samples and soundfonts into the project file when you import, so you’re live referencing them in your folders, which means renaming the folders will break the links. I also learned this the hard way, and now tend to copy soundfonts I use into the project folder of each project, so if I need to move or send over files to someone else, I can copy the folder without breaking anything.

Yeah, spreading people out is great. I have no particular hate for lemmy.world, but it is way too big compared to the other instances, which can be troublesome if it keeps expanding and in the future a company buys the instance and suddenly controls the majority of Lemmy.

If you use a Programming.dev account, all political posts are filtered from “all” unless they’re from a community you subscribed to. I suggest you give moving instance a try.

Since you’re on lemmy.world, the move would be good for decentralization too.

That sounds like a cool concept. I’ll have to look into this “Lemmy” thing.

About time they retired C. Oh, that’s not what happened?

Switch instance to programming.Dev. they hide all politics and porn communities from “all” for you unless you subscribe to them.
