monsterqueersWith the oncoming end of support for windows 10, we are preparing instead for switching to linux. Windows 10 is already bad and filled with bloated spyware, 11 is just so much worse.
We have tried it before but that dinosaur of a laptop is pretty bricked now (unrelated hardware issues that would be more expensive to fix than just buying a new-refurbished laptop). Our experience with it was super positive though.
Weve heard mixed stuff about mint 22 (both that its very stable and very buggy) so we are debating if we want to re-burn our iso flash drive with a newer version or not for that yet.
Currently trying to cut down on all the WIP documents we have- made some headway here and there. Maybe something new will be posted to the website soon- depends on how fast we finish stuff.
Still have to make more DW Icons, also!

Ah, time issues. I have a laptop that likes to desync its time at seemingly random intervals. If you want a way to automate fixing the time, look into NTP. It's a protocol that fixes a computer's time by syncing it with official time servers. The exact thing to install and run to make it work depends on your distribution of Linux, but I use Chrony to handle it and haven't run into issues related to time since.
