Linux Mint 22.1 Upgrades Weekend

1 Comment

I run Linux Mint as my desktop and laptop operating system. It is free, open-source, and runs well on older hardware like mine. They released a terrific upgrade with some new and updated features so I have installed it on both of my machines and they run very well. I can do everything on Linux that I can do on Microsoft Windows without the bloat and slowdown.

Among the many things I like is when Linux Mint does an upgrade it doesn’t take forever to set up. I use Linux Mint 22.1 for web browsing, media, word processing, and playing games like Tetris and Solitaire and much more. So, It’s been fun setting things up and customizing the look on both machines.

Many machines are going to be without support from Microsoft as Windows 10 support ceases soon. I suggest Linux Mint for anyone who needs a fresh, modern operating system to keep their older machines running. There is a lot of support out there to help you get it running and use it for everyday tasks and the like.

Computer Posture Is Important

Posture in anything is important. When operating your computer it is essential. The top frame is in proper posture. The bottom frame is not. When you do it right you can expect to have maximum productivity. If you are like the fellow laying down, then who knows what will happen.

Doing Some Laptop Upgrades

I did some upgrading to my laptop today. I added an 8 gig memory stick and a 250 gig solid state drive (MNVE 2.0). This straightforward operation took a lot of unscrewing and prying and some seating of the memory and drive. Then I had to put everything back together again. After everything was reassembled it worked and I was happy. This should extend my laptop’s life and speed things up. It was a fun thing to do.

Thanks to the Mrs. for her help in providing me the right tool for the job and taking this picture.

Me And Ubuntu 22.04

3 Comments

I have installed Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop. This is now a dual-boot system with Windows 10 on the other partition. Having some flexibility in my computing is a good thing.

I can do a lot of things using this open-source operating system including all the things that go into blogging. The system seems to run faster and I have done a good amount of customization, and the computer I use has a couple of years on it. Nerds love stuff like this if you ask me.

Yes, I am a big fan of Toronto as you can see on my wallpaper.

Being A Geek

1 Comment

A clean install of your computer’s operating system is a good idea. However, when you have to do it because you screw up is not always fun. I have made that error more times than I can count. Fortunately, my prior experience is helpful when unscheduled maintenance is needed. Being a geek is beneficial when you need to correct your mistakes. It’s helpful to be a geek if you ask me.
