My first foray into Linux was something like twenty years ago, I ran Linux Mint briefly and happily, but I screwed something up trying to get flash videos to have sound and kind of gave up and went back to windows.
Flash forward, I got my desktop and my husband’s laptop set up with Mint now, and I can’t believe how easy it was. Everything has been working excellently, and the laptop is getting more attention than its had in years. The software manager is amazing, I got set up with steam and my daw (reaper) in no time. So far I haven’t run into anything I’ve tried to do that I couldn’t do with minimal elbow grease.
Thanks for being so passionate about Linux gang, I don’t know that I would have converted nearly so quickly if I wasn’t exposed to it here. Y’all are cool as hell.
why would flash be a problem? for everything that’s not compatible with ruffle, i just run the standalone projector application in wine.
I don’t know… but it was what precipitated their last exit from using Linux, and it is a defunct, insecure platform that should be unnecessary these days.
i see. yeah, it should probably not be used for anything other than archival purposes, and even then it needs to run in a secure sandbox.
