My wife is still on Mac OSX, but my son has embraced Mint. I’m a bit cheesed off that there aren’t (obviously) many kid friendly programming tutorial resources, other than maybe getting a sub to codeacademy. Other than that, all good.

Or:

thanks! from your comment I think I’ve managed to track it down. if anyone else is interested: https://shop.pianoworks.com/alfred-music-elementary-method-for-the-piano-opus.html

That looks like a good practice book. Anyone know which one?

Beautiful.

So I herd.

Pre brain injury, and post brain Ingush.

But seriously. Wear a crash helmet folks. Saved my life.

This plus no way to replace battery yourself or upgrade storage.

You win. /thread

Maybe tomorrow I’ll want to settle down, until tomorrow I’ll just keep moving on.

I was going to say this.

Instead I’ll say: 48k ZX tape noises and Ace of Aces. Betamax. Not answering the phone as we’re having dinner.

And manic miner! Damn that game was brutal.

That puzzled me too.

What a cracking summary! Thanks.

Please do share the instructions once you get it up and running.

Thoroughly enjoyed this post thanks. I have long wished for a FOSS OS that can truly become popular by considering these users and carving a mainstream path for them. Even - for people who don’t even know what terminal/shell is and don’t care.

Whatever they’re watching, it’s fucking funny.

Tiktok afterwards please.

This is an exceptional write up, thanks!

I started with Mint and it was very simple to set up. I don’t really like the DE though (personal preference, I’ve used OSX for over 10 years). From your description it sounds like I can change Cinnamon to something else - is this fairly straightforward to do?

I’m looking to use the machine as a photo processing platform (from film and digital) and finding alternatives to Adobe products like Lightroom and Photoshop… with a view to ultimately having a NAS and cloud backup once I get to it.

Completely agree. It’s not about one person. It’s about confidence. Assurance.

Look, I have no love for Trump, but I agree. Also wtf is with these reports that people in the crowd were alerting cops to someone climbing on the roof and they seemed slow to process? Do they not have protocols and a radio channel to the secret service - even if they’re confused could they not have alerted someone more professional?

This shouldn’t have been allowed to happen. It’s a disgrace.
