Steve's Place<p>There is something about this keyboard that the password input and verification system does not like after the latest kernel upgrade. It's on a KVM switch. If I use a keyboard directly attached to a USB port, everything is fine. It began immediately after installing 6.8.0-64-generic. In the interest of security, I assume.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a></p>

DORO<p>I replaced Linux Mint with elementary OS, and I’m very happy with it. Mint is not bad, but it’s not exactly what I was looking for. I’m sure elementary is it. After using it for several hours, I can say that it’s even faster than Mint and looks super nice. I love how light it is.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/elementaryOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>elementaryOS</span></a></p>

Okay, I give up. After several weeks with Linux Mint, I made the switch to Debian Stable today.

Why now in the end?

Although I managed to overcome all the initial difficulties of switching to Mint, I just have my problems with this distribution... not that it's bad, not at all, but it just doesn't suit me.

In the end, Mint is a great distribution for newcomers and those switching from Windows. But I've been working with computers for over 42 years, learned SSP and Unix in the 1980s and have been using Linux - also privately - since the mid-1990s, worked in IT as an admin etc.. So I just don't feel at home using Mint, except for the beginning there is no challenge. And yes, admittedly, the image as a “newbie distro” doesn't meet my expectations either. You can judge me for this arrogant attitude for all I care.

And I just don't like Cinnamon. I just don't like him, period. No matter how much I pimp and polish it. I missed the raw power, the edginess of Gnome. Sure, I could have installed it on Mint, but I follow the philosophy of only using what is natively provided and intended in a distribution.

With Debian, everything now runs perfectly out of the box, just as I want it to. Without a problem. Awesome.

I play a lot of TrackMania. It is a good activity I can do for 20 minutes at a time while being interrupted by my child. Lately he has been taking over my computer to play it. Recently I setup an older machine of mine with Linux Mint for him to watch videos on and today I installed TrackMania on it for him.

I've cursed him to be a nerd and a gamer, but he is having fun.

Started migrating from windows to linux.
After listening to the excellent podcast of @alisynthesis , I thought that I would try to move everything from Windows.
2 blocking points for the moment are:
- I still need Visual Studio for an old asp.net standard application
- my soundcard (Steinberg ur22) is recognized but in Bitwig, I have a crackling sound maybe from a performance problem.
But otherwise, I was really impressed by how fast it was to move from Windows.
