This is the answers I come to Lemmy for thank you bestie

Read "ad software" and was beyond terrified for a moment

Compared to some other alternatives, I think the thing it really has going for it is how simple it is. It's really a drop in replacement for discord, something I actually think maybe my friends that don't really care about Foss would consider switching to. They've told me they don't want to take the time to learn a new messaging software, I don't think they'd have to with this.

I think everything going on with the open source phone space is very exciting, also I think copyparty is very cool.

Here's the original conversation if anyone is interested. Reading all the "that is just what men do" comments makes me wanna barf.

It sure is possible, I'm currently dual booting win11 and fedora on my laptop, so they actually share a drive.

If you want to do it on one drive I'd recommend first shrinking your windows partition to whatever size your comfortable with in the windows disk management tool (whatever they call it, I don't remember off the top of my head), then when you initialize a Linux mint install it should be able to recognize that windows partition. From there it'll give you the option to either wipe the whole drive, or install in the empty space alongside Windows.

For what it's worth I've had little to no issues dual booting both, it's been working for me just fine. Although I will say, I think I actually have bitlocker encryption disabled, though I can't say for certain and am unable to check at the moment. It would make sense for that to cause issues, so it would definitely be worth looking into.

Is anyone (on Lemmy that is) actually gonna play this game? It's for sure goanna be like free to play micro transaction hell

I just think hate is generally an unproductive feeling regardless of who it's towards. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to claim that I'm perfect and never find myself feeling it, I just try to avoid it.

Oh yes sorry I should have specified. It's not just a black screen or anything it's as though I unplugged the hdmi cable or something. I'll see the Linux mint logo for a bit, it'll fade to black, then my monitor just says "no signal" and turns itself off. The computer is still on, it's not like it shuts itself off, it just doesn't output anything.

I am SO sad about this

Lol you're fine, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic here it was a genuine response I thought it was funny :)

I didn't think to look for WordPress plugins but that's actually a pretty good idea

I love stir frying broccoli with just a bunch of other stuff it's like a flavor sponge, so good

Yes my gluetun container is working properly, I just can't figure out how to edit the compose for the qbittorrent file to work behind gluetun. I've even exported a working qbittorrent app, uninstalled it, edited and uploaded a new compose file as a custom app but that doesn't seem to work for me.

THIS is what worked you are the goat thank you

I didn't think to try the default Fedora kernel, but I'll give that a go and come back with good news hopefully. And no I did not install TLP

The cheesy gordita crunch is sooooooooo good

I guess that compatibility could be worth checking, but besides the swap for the SSD it is all the original components, I'd assume there wouldn't really be any issues with that. I'm not gonna turn anything down though it could be worth just giving that a quick try.
