  1. Observation regarding my Linux journey, neither here nor there.

    When Windows launched their app store, I ignored it. 1) b/c metro apps were maximized for tablets and awkward on PCs. 2) Even then I was skeptic of Microsoft. I bet I used the app store maybe twice in the 12 years I had access to it.

    Over here on Linux, the software manager is my first stop when looking for stuff. It's easier, sure. But also because there's trust.

  4. Greetings from Linux. An update on my #LinuxCurious attempt to make Mint my new daily driver...

    My audio issues? I spent way too many hours trying to diagnose/fix.

    @RadND came in with... Have you tried *fully powering down* and booting directly into Linux? And, amazingly, that worked.

    I guess in all that time I was only doing restarts which weren't enough to reset hardware to a good state for Linux. 🤯
