Tried this mi box a few years ago and I couldn’t figure it out… It was like crippled android. Couldn’t find the apps that I wanted, keyboard didn’t have my language available so I was missing characters that I need to access my smb share where I would have had the apks. Got mad and threw it out the window. Went looking for it the next day as I wanted to return it, I’m poor so I can’t waste money like that, but my neighbor was outside just yelling something about his car’s windshield, so decided to stay indoors. The next day it was gone, so I bought a used cheap mini pc, installed mint on it and been using it with a remote that has kb and trackpad, 5/5.

If your laptop can run w10 at all, it will run mint cinnamon very well

I never use seatbelt and I still haven’t been in a car accident

Two. The first time I had nvidia related issues with nobara, so I removed nvidia drivers for reinstallation… And couldn’t figure out how to get them back. The second time I had used mint for long enough that I felt confident enough to nuke windows partition. I used gparted and nuked the whole disk instead.

Not counting the times I tried fedora and it killed itself with the first updates and then with multimedia codecs.

Nice try, mister ransonware attacker hacker!

Indeed. That was back when I used windows, and I found it quarantined in defender. No idea what kind of spyware I got from it, but I wasn’t hacked and I didn’t lose my moneys.

I have been using 1337x.to for years and it’s listed as #1 option for general purpose torrents in the megathread. I get everything from there, except for music which rutracker is better for.

You should always be careful when downloading stuff though, once I was drunk torrenting and found a movie, but for some reason it wouldn’t play. The next day I noticed it was an exe file…

if it blows hot air, that means it successfully transfers heat off the cpu, so the blame is not entirely on the thermal paste (you should probably still change it though). clean the sink and the air intakes, laptops insides easily get tightly packed with dust.
