I found one of these at a thrift store, sealed. Just used input remapper to tell it what to do. You can even assign mouse functionality. I use it all the time.

Channel up/down switches browser tabs. Green windows button switches applications. Button for “F” since that’s pretty much universally full-screen. I think there are like, six buttons left I haven’t assigned.

My printer has a regular paper tray and a photo paper tray. I find it very difficult to print things properly to the photo tray. And I had to get drivers for one of my PC’s Wi-Fi adapter off github. Other than that, I have been quite happy over the last few years of daily-ing Linux

Very nice. I love Cinnamon. I use the Eleganse theme, I’m a sucker for transparency.

I want to give that a try. But I have my Mint setup just how I like it, and I don’t really want to start over.

Right? I love seeing how people rice their DE. However, I would also love a community dedicated to it. We could post some tips or tricks to accomplish certain looks.

Awesome. I love Mint. I might try LMDE at some point here, but I have everything just how I like it now.

For about a week, I had my coworker’s face as my cursor. Just because I could. I wanted to see how long it would take people to notice. I share my screen a lot. I was surprised it took that long.

After downloading tons of them, and trying them out on various computers over a range of screen sizes and resolutions, and also considering what fits with the vibe of my theming, I have ended up with Breeze. Pretty basic, but I love it. I have to use Windows at work, and got Breeze on there as well.

Hmm… my distro was the second one recommended to me. First was OpenSUSE. I have yet to try that one, but have tested most of the others it recommended. Guess I need to pop OpenSUSE on my Ventoy stick!

I think I still have some Mandrake install discs somewhere!

That looks pretty nice! Next time I play around, I’ll have to try that. I’ve got Cinnamon dialed in pretty well at the moment on my main desktop. And I finally got LXQt, Openbox, and Picom to a state I’m happy with on my turd of a laptop. Can you put the panel on the bottom?

I’ve tried distro hopping occasionally over the last couple years. I keep coming back to Mint. It just fits my tastes and it works.

Yeah, and all the screenshots are just black boxes full of text!

What is linux? I’ve heard of it, but when I search the Microsoft store, but all I see are a bunch of black Notepad looking apps. I’ve heard it is free. Is there a paid one with no ads? How much are the add-ons? How do I play Fortnite if it’s all just text? I’m so confused.

Is what I would say if I weren’t also a Linux user.

It certainly does! That’s exactly what I needed. Thank you, very much! Now I just have to figure out what to use all these buttons for…

Finally, I’m normal. I’m so happy.

I actually just used it this weekend! On my airgapped Win XP machine. College vibes, very nostalgic.

Been on Mint for a bit over a year. Only slight annoyances. My tax guy couldn’t open the password protected .zip files I made. My printer has two trays, can only seem to print from the photo one. And getting the drivers installed for my TP-Link wifi adapter was a little bit of a pain. Other than that, everything has been great. It looks good, runs good, Games good. No issues with my NVidia card.

I need NX. If we could get that working, and if IT let me have Linux on my work PC, I would be so happy. My CAD station runs considerably worse on Win11, and the drivers for my favorite spaceball don’t work on it.

This would be fantastic for at work. I saw in another comment that it’s a one time fee commercial use license. That’s fantastic. How it with merging PDFs with different page sizes and orientations? I would use it for merging drawing packages together, and there’s a mix of like, A0, A1, and A3.
