Be a good neighbor and teach them then. It's not as hard as most people think it is. I've taught my mom, grandma, and friend how to use Linux before. My grandma uses Debian daily and she only had experience with computers by playing those online casino sites. Now she does it in full freedom and now I saved her some extra dough to throw into becoming a online casino addict! Yay grandma!

"IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS ITS STILL GNU!"

I understand your frustration, and I'll try to provide a solution that's as straightforward as possible. While Linux offers a lot of customization and power, it can sometimes require more technical effort for specific tasks like controller setup.

1. Checking Compatibility: First, let's ensure your Xbox controller is compatible with Linux Mint. Most Xbox controllers should work well, but it's good to verify.

2. Configuration: Linux Mint typically uses the XInput system for game controllers. Sometimes, extra configuration is needed to get controllers working smoothly.

3. Reboot: It's a simple step, but sometimes restarting your computer can help resolve hardware recognition issues.

4. Updates: Make sure your system and packages are up to date. Open a terminal and run:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade
   

5. Install "xboxdrv": If the built-in driver isn't working as expected, you can try installing the "xboxdrv" package, which can provide better controller compatibility. Run:

   sudo apt install xboxdrv
   

6. Calibration: After installing xboxdrv, you can calibrate your controller by running:

   sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --silent
   

   This command should help with controller recognition.

7. CMake and Driver Compilation (if needed): If the previous steps don't resolve the issue and you're instructed to compile a controller driver using CMake, follow these additional steps:

   • Cloning the Repository: Use the git command to clone the controller driver repository from Git. Replace `` with the actual URL of the repository:

     git clone https://www.yourwebsite.com
     

   • Compiling the Software: Navigate to the cloned repository folder using the terminal. Create a build directory:

     mkdir build
     cd build
     

     Generate the build files with CMake:

     cmake ..
     

     Build the software:

     make
     

   • Installation: After successfully building the software, you may need to install it. This can usually be done with the following command:

     sudo make install
     

8. Browser Game Stream: If you're using a web browser for Xbox game streaming, ensure you're using a browser that fully supports it. Google Chrome is a good choice for this.

9. Test: Finally, test your controller in a web-based game streaming service like Xbox Cloud Gaming to see if it works as expected.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, please provide more details about your system, controller model, and any error messages you encounter during the process. I'll do my best to assist you further.

Why Ubuntu? Just use Debian.

But we're not gay

Currently browsing from my Libreboot X60T with Debian GNU/Linux-libre and OpenRC

Maybe this is just me but I used to LOVE fast food, my fat ass would DoorDash Dairy Queen almost everyday during the pandemic. Ended up gaining 50lbs after I had just reached my goal for losing 100lbs-120lbs. I'm 210 now but I miss being around 170. (used to be 300 a couple years ago)

I can say now that I don't eat fast food or Doordash anymore mostly because I feel like I'm eating micro plastic fake meat (may not be entirely true but maybe you know what I mean)

In an online world filled with a plethora of mods, from artistic to bizarre, it's intriguing that the focus narrows down so sharply on one. The concept of a 'dumb meme mod' being powerful enough to tarnish the reputation of an entire platform is a strong statement about the perceived fragility of said platform. Also, the idea that users need to be 'shielded' from something they can just scroll past underscores a lack of trust in the user community to make their own informed choices. Surely, the platform can weather the storm of a singular, controversial mod without undermining its integrity.

This would be the funniest movie if someone actually made it.

Big mama!

Just installed the nvidia-driver for my 2080 SUPER and my system isn't starting now. I'm using Debian 12.1 and after installing the driver, it crashes after entering in my password for my encrypted drive.

I will load up a Live USB and see if I can fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated!

1. Jurisdiction and Travel: One could argue that traveling to a place, even if it's not one's primary residence, does not inherently constitute wrongdoing. Rittenhouse had family ties in Kenosha, and he worked in the city as well. Thus, presenting it as an outsider coming in with no connections can be misleading.

2. Intent: The presumption of his intent as "acting belligerent" is an assumption. Kyle's stated intent was to protect property and provide medical aid. It's vital to separate one's interpretation of his actions from the actual intent.

3. Law Self-Defense: The trial's core issue was whether Rittenhouse acted in self-defense. The jury found him not guilty on all counts, implying that, legally speaking, his actions were in line with self-defense statutes in Wisconsin.

4. Weapons: While he was underage possessing a firearm, the gun charge was dropped due to the specifics of Wisconsin law. The argument could be made that the gun shouldn't have been there in the first place, but this is a separate issue from the question of whether he acted in self-defense once confronted.

5. Moral Nuance: One can argue that Rittenhouse may have made decisions that escalated tensions (like bringing a firearm to a volatile situation), but that doesn't mean he acted criminally during the events in question.

6. Avoid Overgeneralization: It's essential to avoid painting the entire situation with a broad brush. Just because someone believes that Kyle acted in self-defense in the events of that night doesn't mean they endorse every decision he made leading up to it.
