Linux mint and a half day Thursday and Friday off.
Linux mint and a half day Thursday and Friday off.
Just want to say good luck. Someone brought me one of these and asked to make it ready to be their university laptop in 2013. I worked real hard not to laugh because money was obviously tight but I just told them to return the pos to Amazon.
Why would mint be considered old but not ubuntu?
Do things on usenet get purged? Would you expect the stuff showing up today to still be accessible in 5-7 years?
I switched to mint this year with a Nvidia 4080. so far I have been able to get everything I need running with minimal or no involvement. Counterstrike 2 is the most obnoxious which requires me to disable my secondary monitors. That doesn’t happen with anything else and most new games have been good.
If you don’t play something with an ajticheat you know is incompatible with Linux I’d definitely reccomend jumping.
It seems to have no effect either way. Originally I attempted without, then when it didn’t hold after a reboot and some further reading I added the After= line in attempt to ensure the service isn’t trying to initiate before it should be possible.
I can manually enable the service with or without the After= line with the same results of it actually working. Just doesn’t hold after a reboot.
This one seemed perfect but nothing lasts after the reboot for whatever reason. If i manually re-enable the service its all good so I suspect theres no issue with the below - I added the after=multi-user.target after the first time it didn’t hold after reboot.
[Unit]
Description=Runs alsactl restore to fix microphone loop into headphones
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
ExecStart=alsactl restore
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
When I run a status check it shows it deactivates as soon as it runs
Apr 11 20:32:24 XXXXX systemd[1]: Started Runs alsactl restore to fix microphone loop into headphones.
Apr 11 20:32:24 XXXXX systemd[1]: alsactl-restore.service: Deactivated successfully.
How can I run a sudo command automatically on startup? I need to run sudo alsactl restore to mute my microphone from playing In my own headphones on every reboot. Surely I can delegate that to the system somehow?

Sure, I’ll do that. But you’ve lost 99% of average people when you mention “virtual machine”.
Also at least for mint which I was directly talking about you actually boot via live USB first and have to install from an icon on the desktop so there really is no risk for erasing windows until your well into making decisions. Which again you have to choose to erase windows.
You’re right, but the point I was trying to get across to another layman is you can have windows already installed and not break anything with another install of Linux. Rather than get into partitioning and dual booting.
I made the dive into Linux mint last night. If you already have windows installed you can side load so you don’t have to completely commit right out of the box. I play games that would require windows so this was necessary for me but so far outside of hating middle mouse click to paste and some troubleshooting for my headset (I could hear myself quietly through my headphones when speaking into mic) Linux has been preferable to win11
Not a bad platform tbh
