Wife was home with me for the week, nice to have company while I work. Finally set her up with my old laptop, hers was getting a bit long in the tooth - and now we’re officially a Windows-free house. Some issues getting Anki to run properly on Mint, but it was a learning experience. Have also been getting games figured out in Linux recently. Trying to do PS4 and XBox 360 emulation, that’s a work in progress. Finally did sort out how to get a few other games running well though. Nice to have Shadow of Mordor and Mad Max working again, but the real excitement has been Mina the Hollower.
Showed my kid Princess Mononoke, hadn’t seen it in decades. I’d forgotten a lot of it, so well worth the time.
I love having my gf over when I’m working and she’s working. I tend to work harder if someone is in the room with me (under the “look at me! I’m working!” attention mindset), and we’re fetching each other teas and hot waters. It’s lovely.
gaming on linux
I’ve been hearing a lot about bazzite running on NixOS if that’s something
I’ve heard of that, but I don’t try new distros very often and I’m getting work done with Mint. The real trouble is my weak command line skills, I’m still banging rocks together. The beauty is that it does eventually work most of the time.

One day I’ll be brave like you and throw a Linux distro on my desktop
