So, I grew up with Amiga computers as a kid. I run Mint on my ancient laptop and it works beautifully. I’d like to see if I can get an Amiga emulator or OS on there to duplicate the look and feel of the Amiga OS. Maybe even play a few old games. What is the best way to do that?

Repartition again plus Printer
Hey again.
Thank you again for all of the help with the dual boot and repartition a few weeks back. I am running Linux Mint.
I repartitioned the Linux side to about 25 GB and over the last few weeks just downloading updates, I guess it has filled up. It tells me there is only 75 MB left. Is that normal or can I free up room again?
Also, the printer no longer prints. It just hangs when I try to print. It shows up correctly as the HP Deskjet 3510 but won’t print. Any tips on how to fix?

Mint is great but I have to fix my screwups.
My cheap laptop has a 128GB SSD. I have 30GB available .
I installed Mint on Sunday on a 15GB partition then realized I was immediately out of room.
Now I believe I have reformat, repartition to maybe 25GB and reinstall. Any better options?
Also, I could probably reformat the entire laptop if I could only figure out how to replace the Google Drive for sync backup for roughly 15 GB of personal photos and videos.
Technically, I wouldn’t have to do anything as it is already backed up but I guess I’d need a way to copy everything over to a Linux alternative that can be backed up from Mint.
Thoughts?
Currently, I have the following books on my wish list that I am thinking about buying.
Salvation by Peter Hamilton. I have read everything he has published except his short stories and love them so this is next on my to-read list.
Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman. Seems kinda cool.
Seven Deadly Wonders by Matthew Reilly. It seems like a book in a similar vein as Jurassic Park, Dan Brown, Clive Cussler type stuff.
Pernasi By Susanna Clarke. I read her first book nearly 20 years ago and thought it was good. I really like creative sci-fi stuff. I am re-reading the Ninefox Gambit series again currently so this seems right up my alley.
Brandon Sanderson Way of Kings Book 3. Yeah, I probably need to start with Book 1 again and catch up. Has anyone read his Secret Books yet?
Do any science fiction book subscriptions exist anymore with reasonably good quality books? About 10 years ago I was able to subscribe to a year of Angry Robot books for about $120 or $150. It wasn’t a bad deal as I remember I got about 24 books for the price.
What is the best way to acquire readable copies of Ellison’s short stories?
Amazon prices look extremely high at hundreds of dollars per copy. By readable, I mean books with font sizes larger than size 6 so a probably editions published after 1990. Is there a better name for these readable non-1970s editions?
eBay and thrift books are also good alternatives.
I guess I am surprised prices are so high but I guess many of his books are out of print.
Personally, I think it would be fun to keep the minimum requirements to bread, cheese, butter/mayo and a grillled/heat aspect to crisp the bread.
Multiple types of cheese, sure. Pesto, cilantro, dipping in tomato soup, cream cheese, all good.
However, I do think the main focus of the meal should be the cheese. If bacon is a accessory for the cheese like one strip then fine. If it is the main point (like 10 slices), then no. Same for chicken, burger meat, turkey slices etc. if you want to be creative and add one slice of bacon, one slice of Turkey, one slice of chicken, then you are overriding the glory of the cheese.
The golden rule with a grilled cheese is that you must respect the cheese. Extra ingredients can be included but if they detract materially from the glory of the cheese, you have made a melt.
I have a new PK300 and an Akorn. I have previously owned a Weber 22”, a Masterbuilt 560, and a Pit Barrel Cooker.
Why is it that I can find the dogs community lemmy.world with over 2k subscribers while the same community does not appear when I search from vlemmy?
Fireworks are very bad this year. We tried some kind of brownie that was $5 bucks and supposed calm him and a product called July 3. Both did not work. What is your best product for dogs and calming them during fireworks?
How long should it take? Been waiting 45 minutes. I thought I’d switch to ease the load on lemmy.world.
What are the pros and cons? For someone who has zero IT background so ELI5.
