Been using Mint for about a month now on my daily laptop. It's nice, not having to deal with windows' bullshit, but on the other hand I've had a number of issues with it; most recently, it sort of reboots itself every so often randomly. That, and issues with not being able to hear high fidelity audio on a bluetooth headset while also using the headset's mic (there's a codec that let's me use both mic and audio, but the audio is low quality).

Usually though issues get fixed with an update, just gotta check the update manager often.

ComicalMayhem ,

yeah I felt this. I'm having a specific issue with my mint install that I can't figure out for the life of me and no one has any answers (or bothered to leave any comments on the forum...)

ComicalMayhem , (edited )

edit: I love y'all for helping me so much but I somehow broke tf out of my mint install on the flash drive. I have no idea how. it literally says "something went seriously wrong" in the BIOS and then shuts the PC off when I try to launch the mint OS. gonna do a clean install... again...

oh boy

ok so I'm running a mint cinnamon edge install on my laptop, booted off a flash drive for now. currently, my biggest issue is the mic. Presently, whenever I try to use my mic, it instead takes whatever audio output my system is currently producing (be that music from YouTube or system sounds) and thinks that that is the input. it does not however, pick up anything with my voice. this happens both with my built in laptop speaker and when I connect my Bluetooth headphones and try to use the mic on those.

I've fiddled with pavucontrol settings for a while and wasn't able to fix it. it seems like it's not detecting my built in mic, saying it's unplugged or something, but that doesn't explain why I have the same issue with my headphones.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that it's a live session from a flash drive instead of a full install on my PC, but I'm hesitant to do a full install without finding fixes for issues I might run into first.

if you can figure something out, that'd be incredible and I would thank you sincerely and owe you one; if not that's fine, I really don't know what I'm gonna do other than take the plunge and full install, hoping that'll fix it

ComicalMayhem ,

holy shit that might actually work

ComicalMayhem ,

That sounds very reasonable actually. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Currently have windows booted to partition my drive and make space for a full Linux install, so I can't do that command right away. here's an inxi -Fxz command though from before, does this help any?

I only just realized my previous comment formatted like total ass, I'm so sorry. I'll check it out, but it seems like I fucked up the Linux install somehow, to the point where it says "something went seriously wrong" in the BIOS before shutting my PC off. I have no idea what I did wrong since I didn't even touch the flash drive it was on.

ComicalMayhem ,

wait prozd is in it??

ComicalMayhem ,

genuine question, what is the deal with fallout nv and subs?

    not trans but I've had this idea about a game where you play as a blind person, and have to explore the world off echolocation alone. noises generate visible waves on the surfaces they reflect off of, so you can see stuff far away instead of how blind sight works in most media I've been exposed to (can't see shit outside of a 1ft radius)

    ComicalMayhem ,

    there's a lot of abbreviations in the article that I don't understand or know lol. what's a BEV? HPEV? etc.

    Good article tho. From my limited view prices definitely are a huge limiting factor for electric vehicles, though they brought up a good point about the charge times. I guess if people treated it like their phones (charge every night) then it wouldn't be a problem?

    Honestly not surprised that demand has dropped for them though. Anyone who was interested in it has either decided it's not worth it or already has one. Price puts them out of most people's budget, and with rising costs and stagnant wages, people can't really afford to take on monthly payments anymore. The environmental friendliness of them is heavily marketed, but won't bring into effect the large scale, immediate change we need to slow climate change. Plus there's the whole Tesla thing with delayed shipping and paywalling features built into software (admittedly not up to brush with Tesla tho).

    For a while they were a new, impressive technology, and while I still think they're cool, until they become very, very cheap and accessible, I won't be getting one. The fad is starting to die out.

    ComicalMayhem ,

    Is there more context to this?

    ComicalMayhem ,

    pretty sure it was something about being white or their ancestors doing what white ancestors did

    from the context you gave that's a totally normal question to follow up with. you did not fuck up, you dodged a bullet lmao.

    ComicalMayhem ,

    Who out here getting three girlfriend 😭

    ComicalMayhem ,

    It's possible someone drew this as practice/as a meme and that there's no sauce to be had.
