There’s no way a single one of my friends would try irc. They call me a crazy grandpa for using Firefox.

Seconded. Update kernel. Fixes a lot of issues

I have crackling issues sometimes too in games. It comes and goes.

On mint, 15 year old cpu and a rx 6700 card.

Like others said, make sure its not psu or mobo. Check your psu fan, for starters. They die often and the pc will run but act very weird and eventually shut down abruptly.

Im actually using 1 pc with a dead psu fan and I throttle the graphics card so it doesn’t crash, it works.

Change to pipewire if you didnt…

The bangle is fun for tinkering. It all runs on js if youre into that.

The battery life isnt amazing though.

You can use it just fine with any computer with bluetooth.

The hear monitor works great on it

“Please insert more corpo-coin for compute access”

Doesn’t work for me either. Wayland broke my volume keys, and my left ctrl and caps lock keys. Also makes jellyfin go black.

X11 just works…

I also have Bluetooth issues on mint but I just ignore it ha. Its annoying though

Why? me and SO have been on mint only for a year now and love it.

Couple other pcs have popos which is OK but a bit buggy for me

This is just how businesses work. Thats absolutely the plan.

Conspiracies are outlandish. What you described is fact.

Because companies destroyed actual search engines in the race for billions of dollars.

Kagi, searx are fricken awesome and much like the web in mid 2000s before corporations destroyed it.

Yes! Let’s make it permanent next time.
