okay, I installed Mint with root and swap mounted to my SSD and home mounted to my big drive and now I feel incredibly smart ✨
✨
bristling with uncontainable energy
it is frighteningly responsive and fast
steam wouldn't start after installing and instead of panicking I ran it from a terminal and notice it couldn't find fonts and apt install'd them myself and now it works and I feel like a fucking god
the terminal is not scary
it is my friend (whom I respect)
thank you tarminel for my life
update: basically every Windows app I used has a great functional Linux version
not to mention Mint handles my Switch-audio-to-line-in setup SO much more simple and straightforward than Windows did
Also love the built in super-fast region and window capturing, no ShareX needed
hell my Switch audio setup sounds 5x better than it ever did in Windows because I can actually see information in front of me re: line gain instead of 5 ambiguous independent volume bars
it's so fun to learn!! i'm learning!!!
bark!!!!
I've been legit absorbed in this all day and now I'm -starving- oh my god
It's so satisfying how quickly and thoroughly things can be removed and reinstalled with a just a quick couple terminal commands
@ShugoWah terminal commands are powerful things
@ShugoWah don't do this, but one of the more amusing ones is... I think `dd /dev/urandom /dev/dspkr`
this just sends random data to the speakers (and bypasses all volume controls, hence why I say not to do this)
@Felthry @ShugoWah `dd` requires you to prefix the input file and output files with `if=` and `of=`, respectively (unless you're using stdin/stdout)
