I know of Gradius Galaxies and Iridian II

Been playing Shadow of Mordor again to tie in with Celebrimbor from Rings of Power. However, I found that RoP is terrible but the game is still great.

Been replaying Detroit: Become Human. The first time i tired playing years ago on Windows it would crash all the time. Now that I’m on Linux it runs great. I just beat the game amd have to say that it is an absolute masterpiece. So many options to choose from but at least from what I choose the story held together flawlessly.

StarLabs has one with an N200 but that’s still dated

I used to have a SanDisk Extreme Portable running Ubuntu. If it was unplugged, my computer would boot Windows and when I plugged in the SSD to USB it would auto boot into Ubuntu. I have no idea how I did it though. It was my first time using Linux and I followed a guide online.

Edit: found the video

I will give that a look. Thanks for the tip!

The program itself is an AppImage but I couldn’t figure out how to get Ant+ devices (cycle trainer and heartrate strap) working on a distro besides GC’s documentation for Ubuntu. It worked for me on Mint, I just want to transition to a Plasma DE. Does this look like something you would know how to get working on Kinoite?

You’ve got a good point with using LTS. I’d probably try Neon first though. I have been using Kinoite and enjoy the latest Plasma version and haven’t had any stability issues. I’ll hope that it holds up on an Ubuntu based system but if not then change to Kubuntu.

That sounds like a complicated setup. I’ve heard of OpenSUSE but don’t know anything about it. Is it Ubuntu based?

I think I’ll try Neon too

Ah okay. That makes sense. I have been using Fedora Kinoite on my test laptop and really enjoy Plasma 6 but I need it Ubuntu based so I can use Golden Cheetah with Ant+ devices. GC’s documentation focuses on Ubuntu based systems and I got it working on Linux Mint, my main laptop. I just like Plasma more than Cinnamon and am slowly changing all my systems over.

Thank you!

Thanks. The Companion app never seemed to work on my sandboxed Google Play profile on GrapheneOS however. I’ve since found Golden Cheetah which is a native Linux program and totally free. Zwift raising their price was the final straw for me to move on and I’m grateful for it.

GC works perfectly on Linux Mint with my Garmin USB ANT+ dongle, Garmin heart rate strap, and retains all the functionality with my Zwift Hub trainer if anyone is curious.

I login to the student outlook email on the web and use OnlyOffice with Microsoft fonts installed. Presentations and Documents work as needed. I got a fellow student to switch to Linux and he’s had no issues either.

I’ll have to learn what arc minutes are and sounds fun to try new things

Thank you very much

I’ll have to check out the lens more, out of curiosity. I’m sure astrophotography had all types of trucks of its own. I have a 300mm 2.8 lens and no way is it zoomed in enough to get that nice photo you have of a nebula.

You must be hooking it up to a telescope right?

Beautiful photo. What lens is it?

I use IVPN which requires no knowledge of the customer and their payment options. If I can eliminate any form of privacy invasions I will take it. My ISP and DNS provider do not need to know anything about my habits or values as their service I pay them for is internet.

Is there an option to save the new bios update file to a USB stick, then enter bios and trigger an update manually that fetches the file from said USB stick?

I’ve done it this way with an Asrock motherboard for desktop running Bazzite.
