Well mistakes were made! I was challenged to run Manjaro Linux with a Window manager known as Hyprland, and some guy's kernel called the TKG kernel for 30 days... oh boy its not gone well. While Mostly Manjaro's fault I'd say there are alot of issues to unpack here. Apologies for the ranting in this episode of Distro Long Hauls but hopefully you find it entertaining to watch me suffer!

Alot of things happened in the last 15 days… Manjaro’s broke, sway is broke… KDE is borked.. its a total mess for sure. Join me in my complaint-fest and revel in my failure using Manjaro

Just a simple and straightforward video to capture how easy it is to upgrade your kernel with the GUI on a Linux Mint system using the Linux Mint kernel manager, as I’ve been having some intermittent shutdown issues with my main laptop. Built right into the update manager – no command line required! Thanks to all the software that made this possible: OBS Studio Kdenlive Linux Mint Team and their Distribution – Linux Mint! I am not a professional, nor is this video professional :) . Just a guy who loves tech and playing around with it. Mostly a hopefully entertaining showcase of my random shenanigans. I would like to thank my brother, friends and my wife who tolerate and support me in this endevour, as well as the amazing Linux community I have met and grown with. Without them I don't know that I would even be able to do this.

So we’ve made it through the challenge. Nothing exploded, and no Geckos were harmed in the making of this series...What are my final parting thoughts to Suse and their distro? Thanks to all the software that made this possible: OBS Studio Kdenlive OpenSuse and their Distribution – OpenSuse Tumbleweed I am not a professional, nor is this video professional :) .

Just a talking head video inspired by Nate (if you know you know) about the merits of Rolling release and stable point releases. Sorry for the nose cam but I'm not re-recording lol My brother's Channel Aclass Creations, check him out as well: https://youtube.com/@aclasscreations2351?si=c2EKTalmcdClAXFT Thanks to all the software that made this possible: OBS Studio Kdenlive Pop_OS! by System76

A short video going over my low cost Surface Go Tablet computer and its own shortcommings. Still a snappy device with featuring LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition)

So we’ve made it one week. Sitting here on Day 9 I’m honestly surprised. Day 4 was such a rough time that I thought we were re-installing or worse… My brother's Channel Aclass Creations, check him out as well: https://youtube.com/@aclasscreations2351?si=c2EKTalmcdClAXFT Thanks to all the software that made this possible: OBS Studio Kdenlive OpenSuse and their Distribution – OpenSuse Tumbleweed I am not a professional, nor is this video professional :) .

This is just here to get down my thoughts and feeling of the distro. Capture the moment persay. My brother's Channel Aclass Creations, check him out as well since he is who got me into tech and Linux to begin with: https://www.youtube.com/@aclasscreations2351 Matt and the Linux Cast - https://www.youtube.com/@UCylGUf9BvQooEFjgdNudoQg Nate and many of the amazing people in the Linux Server(s) who were helpful in getting and keeping this challenge afloat. The Linux Tube for shouting me out but also being a great guy / channel - https://www.youtube.com/@UCcbvYBJzvw4_soq2I8R1JKQ Thanks to all the software that made this possible:OBS StudioKdenliveSuse and their Distribution – OpenSuse Tumbleweed Mint Team and their Distribution – Linux Mint I am not a professional, nor is this video professional :) .

For day 1 I was mostly just looking for initial setup and getting my apps and programs loaded up. I’m used to Linux Mint (whether it be LM Ubuntu edition or LMDE derivative) but in any case I’ve played with KDE plasma before so that’s not the end of the world. I’ve had to make a few changes so far but largely keeping things stock. I like a very Windows 7 inspired layout for my day to day, only putting the icons center when the display is of enough resolution to justify it.

Just a video of me converting my last Windows laptop to Linux - a Fairly reasonable Thinkpad T450.

Just a video about me unboxing and taking a look at a dell version of a surface tablet. Nothing special but I hope you enjoy! I’d like to thank the following for giving me encouragement, as well as putting up with my nonsense: My wife My brother & best friend Thank you all So much for watching! Special thanks & shoutouts to members of several Discord servers I’m in, as they too deserve a bit of a shoutout: - NatePick - Jake(the Kernel Zealot) - Sprungles - The Linux Tube and many many more….. I’d also like to thank LibreOffice for writing, Shotcut for editing and Linux Mint & team for their wonderful OS that helps me get everything done.

Just a short video today about me upgrading my travel laptop to a 1TB WD Black NVMe over its stock 500GB NVMe

I call to Beta! Short video today going over the mint teams call to come beta test their fastly repo that is supposed to be much, much quicker in the future. Go on over and give a warm welcome, see how the new mirrors work out. Thank you to all that support and tolerate me. Alot of this wouldn’t be possible otherwise. - NATEPICK - JAKE THE KERNEL ZEALOT - ALYX0 - THE LINUX TUBE - SPRUNGLES And most importantly - My Wife :) Link to Mint’s Github page where the fastly instructions are located: https://github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/issues/658

AT&T Sucks… That’s nothing new. After a many many years of dealing with them I have learned to cope… till now. Its looking like this time they will in fact impact my fun and my channel, so let’s rant about it for a bit! I’d still like to thank everyone that supports me, and those that encourage me to keep doing this. I’d also like to thank the linux discords servers for The Linux Cast, NakePick,JakeTKG just to name a few. You guys are awesome and deserve a little shout out.

Just a short talk about my junk pile Dell Latitude E6440 laptop. Its not a great machine but it does get the point across. Tween-series machines are always so wierd to work on... though it is a product of a bigon era of computing.

Its Upgrade day! Working though some upgrades but I thought I would showcase Mint's wonderful upgrade tool. Sure you can brute force the upgrade like the good old days but their tool is somewhat special and ensures that you get from one major version to another. And now for the mountain of links to stuff and things: Social Media: don’t need it, its garbage anyway. Burn it if you have it Mastodon: I mean no Twitter: on fire, poke it with a stick Discord: I’m there but you’ll have to find me If you want to financially back the channel, I don’t have a way right now but I do enjoy clicks subscribes & likes I use a random assortment of software, FOSS and otherwise to get things done. Don't @ me but this is what I learned to use to do things. Always welcome to suggestions of course: - Kdenlive (when it is working): https://kdenlive.org/en/about/ - Gimp:https://www.gimp.org/about/ - Krita:https://krita.org/en/ - Inkscape: https://inkscape.org/about/ - Linux Mint: https://linuxmint.com/about.php - Libre Office: https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us - OBS-Studio:https://obsproject.com/ Disclosure: If I have links, they may or may not be affilliate links. I’m too poor for sponsorships

Just a quick overview of Linux Mint 22 "Wilma". Seems pretty solid to me but here are my thoughts. No upgrade tool(s) yet that will be in a separate video. Thanks to Kdenlive & Linux Mint for making their respective softwares & helping produce this show.

This video has nothing to do with politics or religion, just a really bad experience I had volunteering as a tech guru at our local church. An experience enough that I felt like it was worth sharing more so others could maybe learn from my mistakes. Thanks for Linux Mint, Kdenlive for making this video possible. I hope you all enjoy or at least understand my suffering. Having a rough day so peace!

Apologies for the quality, I made the decision to try out lightworks which limits you to 720 which I realized after I edited the video. Its also pretty hot here in the midwest so all the editing was done on as low power machines as I could and may not be up to the normal snuff. Just a short review of PopOS before it goes through its new Cosmic Desktop later this year, but nothing crazy. There will be a follow up video on setting up games and getting things working like kdenlive and how that was, possibly.

Just a video about me finally getting around to upgrading my home internet. Screw A&T we got space internet boys! Join me as I finish mounting it to the roof as well as some info about what’s going on around here in the crazy house. I hope you enjoy!

While not much of a Mac guy myself I recently received a Macbook for free and I thought I would give my thoughts on it along with a few benchmarks.

A short and sweet “review” of a brand new NUC 11 from Intel. I’m planning on converting it to a media center but that doesn’t mean we can enjoy a few benchmarks as well as installing Linux Mint. I decided to make this a bit funner and see how it goes. Let me know in the comments if you like it.
