  • I installed mint recently and I kept the windows partition because I thought I would need to dual boot a lot but I haven’t launched windows in the past couple of months

    I have a laser HP all-in-onr that I thought I’d have issues with but it worked automatically with the printing and scanner app, not even in windows it works so strangely

    My only issue right now were self inflicting, because I created a shared NTFS partition to keep media a torrents and it sometimes give privilege errors after a bit update (it wouldn’t happen if it was ext3 from what I’ve been reading)

    My wife needs to use the computer occasionally and I think she had more issues with windows 11 than mint, the only “issue” was that she was trying to find Microsoft word instead of openoffice










  • These are the ones I listen to the most, I think all of them are weekly

    • secretly incredibly fascinating. They talk about a simple topic and expand it with a lot of trivia and the hosts are very funny.
    • 99% invisible. Mostly about architecture that you don’t notice but they give a lot of cool info (lately some episodes get off topic or I simply don’t like them but they have a huge archive that I listen to)
    • my brother my brother and me: just stupid comedy from 3 brothers giving “advice”
    • dear Hank and John: the brothers Green giving science-ish advice

  • I learned with calm.com

    They have a course of mediation for beginners or something like that and they “teach” different methods so you can choose whichever suits you the most

    There used to be a 3-month trial which is enough to go through the course (I didn’t keep my subscription), I’m not sure if they still offer trials like that


  • My HP laser all-in-one requires an app that I need to log in every week or so to print in Windows and sometimes it simply can’t find the network printer with the fixed IP that’s in the same place as it’s always been

    When I switched to mint a couple of weeks ago I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to use it, but I was impressed that Linux was able to find and install the printer and scanner super quickly and never had any issues printing with it
