Right again! I’ve finished dual booting my VAIO desktop and my new ASUS Laptop with Mint and Ubuntu and now have all four synced up with each other. It was amazing to see how different the results were between the laptop and desktop using the same USB stick to install. Must be the computer’s architecture that accounts for that. I really needed the True Type Fonts to make it easier to read. Finally got that done and synced. The trick was to get the fonts in the terminal window to work for me. For my next trick, I want to blow windows off of my MS Surface Pro 6. I’ve been given the MS ultimatum to update to Windows 11 either on shutdown or restart. Those are the only two options presented other than putting it in sleep mode. My research so far indicates that I may be up for a real challenge to make the switch on that one. What I will lose, I think, that I really need badly is the ability to send the screen output to my LG TV. The Pro 6 has a special adapter that plugs into an HDMI cable and transmits the signal. I’m wondering if there is a way to do screen share with my ASUS laptop? It would be really nice to be able to project slides to the big screen. I’ve made several attempts to blue tooth them together, but all have failed.
Once I get by that hurdle, I want my phones degoogled, my TV degoogled, and a firewall that I can control locally. Then I may try to learn some Python programming. That’s my long term plan (LOL, I’ve been around the sun 78 times) so I hope that’s in line with what you and Jeff have in mind. BTW, the classes are great. I get caught up with the You Tube video presenters and try to watch all of their content, so it’s taking me awhile to catch up.
