The only problem I’ve had was the Mac not going asleep properly, and immediately waking up. But that’s something I encountered on other distros including Mint also.

Found a fix for it.

Ctrl key hasn’t been a problem. Often on many distros the old hybrid Nvidia graphics and the old Broadcom card were both problems. But ok on Mint and EOS.

Endeavour OS has been the best I’ve found on my 2012 MBP

The Settlers II… what a game.

I’m still desperate to find a port of the Mac version, the DOS intro just doesn’t hit the same.

Encona hot sauces are some of the most readily available in the UK, reasonably priced, and they generally slap

Oh wow, that must have been amazing. I only saw it when the BBC broadcast it. But I don’t think I’ve ever been so moved by a science documentary.

• The Farthest (about NASA’s Voyager missions)
• Hurt Locker Hero / The Deminer (about Fakhir Berwari, a bomb disposal expert who disarmed thousands of landmines in Iraq with just a pocket knife and a pair of wire clippers)
• The Devil We Know (tells the story of DuPont’s decades-long cover-up of the harm caused by chemicals used to make its popular non-stick Teflon products)

All three are very good, very moving documentaries.

I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more

We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!

Janine, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.

Ghostbusters:

• Back off man - I’m a scientist

• Listen! You smell something?

• What about the Twinkie?

• Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!

• Yes it’s true, this man has no dick

• Ok, so… she’s a dog

• When someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes!

• Aim for the flat top!

• Cross the streams

…and much much more

No, I was still being cheaper with phones at that stage.

I remember my friend getting an N95 and how that was a big deal back then haha.

After looking through an extremely long list of Nokia phones on Wikipedia, it might have been a 6120 classic.

My last ever Nokia phone, a half way house between old Nokias and smartphones circa 2008.

No touch screen, but could play music, videos, had a calendar etc.

Absolute piece of garbage. Got super hot at times doing who-knows what, and had a software bug where the audio would completely stop working until you rebooted it… which meant that multiple times my morning alarm went off completely silently and I was late for work.

Bought an iPhone 3GS as soon as my 1 year contract was up, Nokia were never relevant again after that era.

Definitely perfectly comfortable on Mint for day to day use… but would still struggle for anything that hasn’t got a GUI. Obviously can copy and paste commands but would like to be better than that.

This is installed on my old computer and I upgraded to a M1 Mac as my main one, so this is more a hobby project and learning experience than a daily driver.

Have had a lot of issues with previous installs from other distros failing, I think due to this Mac’s 2012 Intel/Nvidia hybrid graphics.

Can’t take any credit, but found this after doing some searching

Yeah, it’s nice!

I can’t take any credit for it, I found it here and figured out how to modify it slightly, mainly to remove the bits I couldn’t get to work.

Yeah, I foolishly shopped around a whole host of distros and DEs after seeing things on reddit and getting ideas above my station.

Most couldn’t even boot either the live USB or following install, and I didn’t really know how to find out why.

Others worked for a week or more before failing after an update and I hadn’t figured out Timeshift yet.

Probably my 2012 hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics played a part if I was guessing.
