I didn’t so a reinstall I simply swapped my ssd into another PC. When I sold my amd rig. System logs show no errors that im aware of when in the GUI system reports in mint. It’s works fine on windows but on mint it cuts off about 5 percent of the screen or 10 all the way around. So I’m missing the start icon and such. I have never deletes nvidia files or configs. I’m used to amd and never used nvidia before. I did however try every driver from noveau to 575 open. All of them made no difference or made it worse.

I tried all drivers and done all display settings. I’ve changed resolution and refresh. I can’t for the life of ms figure this out. Anyone at all please help… Its so frustrating I don’t even use my PC anymore.

My 2080 has issues and cuts off part of the screen on Linux mint. My 6700xt and amd setup would never. I switched and tried every driver. I’ve never used nvidia. Anyone have advice?

Mint or fedora. Skip Ubuntu. Updates break things too much. If you got mint I’d recommend LMDE over Ubuntu mint. For the same reason so long as your not on brand new hardware. Mint is honestly the easiest way to go. Fedora being second. Bazzite if you want to have a steam OS like experience.

At one point it was breaking my Mint install having to learn how to fstab and do all sorts of commands to get my data back. Took me something like 11 days and it wasn’t just UUID errors I somehow borked it so bad there was multiple files wrong. I’ve now learned a ton. I’ve done it atleast 6 times more and can fly through fuck ups in minutes. I nearly gave up. Encryption isn’t always the easiest to play with either.

Edit. After reading the other comments you were serious about eating/chewing no hard problems one had solved. AKA accomplished.

Probably the inside of a tootsie pop that was so hard and chewy it nearly dislodged my tooth. Pulled out a filling. I bit down on it and couldn’t get my teeth separated in the back it was like glue. Fucking good though. I eventually won.

This could very well be it. I highly doubt two separate trees merged and cellular connections formed to meld into one tree. It would be like two organisms forming a super organism. Combining. When has anyone seen that ever?

I’ve thought about this a ton. Depressing amount.

I’ve decided to work on improving my quality of sleep drastically and have done it but it wasn’t easy to learn and study my body. In effort to maintain or increase the quality of measured and studied sleep to shave off 2 hours. From 8 hours to 6. Allowing me to live awake and hopefully enjoy 13.3 percent more of my life.

Yes you can cut it down more and gain more living time. This is what I deem more acceptable and I slowly bring the time down more as my baseline improves.

My best advice. Cool your body/brain and dial in your body temp use water cooling like a sleep 8 it’s expensive and subscription, so DIY your own use AI to dial it in if you can, live data. By plugging in your health data to it. Learn your sleep stages, wear a health tracker that’s accurate for heart rate, breathing, pulse ox, HRV, keep stress low and exercise regularly. Stick to a strict schedule of sleep and wake. Avoid fatty meals and snacking hours before bedtime, eat clean and healthy.

There’s no magic bullet, most of its common sense. But you can make major gains if you dial in your body and listen to it. Tune into it. Don’t push through, feel and correct. There’s more but it’s late in my time zone.

Over a decade of selling on EBay big time and about every other major platform or my own shopify stores. EBay is nice, its streamline to sell on. The caveat to it is, expect to lose 30 percent of your items value or close to it. They calculate their fee after they’ve added shipping and tax and processing card fee. So your 300/330 dollar item, total shipping and all say comes out to 371, then they subtract their percentage which is category based rate. I cleared 283. That was a GPU I sold with real numbers.

If you can swallow eating that type of margin loss because your cost of goods is low or your margin is super high then go for it, or you are a super savvy shipper. Just check the selling fees and know your strategy and master it. EBay is easy to sell on, compared to amazon, Etsy, insert your platform*

I am an 80 percentile top rated seller in my category overall. I also dominate my niche as THE seller of nearly all of my single product. That being said I’ve sold ww2 items to stuffed animals and anything you can think of. I used to buy whole estate sales and barns out right. Auctions, and about every major platform I’ve been on. I’ve sold international to national. You’d be hard pressed to think of random items I haven’t sold. I know big multi million dollar sellers who run warehouses. ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. Its late in my timezone so I’m groggy and can’t think. I’ll be fresh tomorrow. I’ll help anyone who needs it.

I haven’t ever found a better open source keyboard or voice type than futo. It really is that good. With so many languages. I’m unsure why some of them got downvoted but oh well. I’m sure there’s a ton more to add that are privacy focused open source apps but those were off my head.

VeraCrypt, Clonezilla, Joplin, Futo voice and Futo keyboard, Sentry, Wasted, Untracker, WTMP app, Fossify app suite.

Good it’ll slow down the atrocious e-waste I hope. Fucking everything doesn’t need wifi and blue tooth and bullshit.

Pyronis disease 😭

I’ve had a live linux USB drive that I literally have never used since creating it 15 years ago and it still runs the live ISO just fine. Again slow as hell as it’s like USB 2.0 or something but still works.

If a live ISO still works then I’d be willing to bet most other stuff will too, given it didn’t sit at the bottom of the ocean.

It’s been in my pocket for years having never seen actual use. No USB cap either. Dirty and the housing is only covering half the USB. Remind me and I’ll post a photo. It’s wild to see. The housing is loose nearly off entirely and hanging on by a thread but it’s last through time like a tank, change and tools in my pockets daily. I only keep the old fucker at this point for seeing how long it’ll last still spinning up the live iso Linux spin I wrote on it.

This is a non issue and so overblown. I’ve had flash drives for a decade and some for 15 years and they have no housing at all at this point and you can plug them in and they run great albeit slow as hell for live USBs but flash drives are super durable.

It seems like a reading issues rather than a hardware issue. Try placing the sensor on the inside if your wrist where the skin is softer and veins are more prevalent. Also play with the tightness and fitment location up or down a little. Go to settings turn data to gather every second. Update the hardware and apps during syncing with phone or wifi. I know mine can be off under vigorous fan biking where your really thrashing your arms. But it’s fairly accurate any other time. I’d like to note the resting heart rate also appears to be an average of sleeping and awake values as an average. I’ve noticed mine doing that same thing. My resting us regularly in the mid 50s with slight variations.

If you do intensive exercises or more moving than otherwise a watch on your wrist could reasonably keep up with. I highly recommend pairing a Polar H10 (roughly 100 usd) strap to your garmin and that’s hospital/lab grade accurate. Pairs right to the watch and nothing else is needed, syncs the data accurately and to connect app as usual. 400 hour battery life, adjustable, comfortable. Check it out. Good luck.

I and my family have had Garmin’s like the venu line for years and I am in the hospital all the time. I’ve tested mine against the polar h10 and multiple medical tests and during times of Hospital stays for lengths of time. Mine has always been accurate and within a beat or two in the heart rate and a single percentage or 2 on pulse ox.

Garmin has fantastic customer service. Perhaps updating your device, or contacting them for an exchange would be worth while. All their watches I have had, seen, have been accurate. I’m not refuting what your saying just trying to give my perspective.

You can also set to track every second vs the default smart tracking every few minutes. Switch wrists as everyones vein layouts are better or worse to get a reading, keep it snug but not tight and not loose the sensor shouldnt indent your skin. Hope any of this helps. Don’t settle for subpar results or experience. They make good equipment IME.

Garmin then use the FOSS Garmin connect app I forget the name. You get all the fancy important data and monitoring. None of the worries. Or just don’t sync your data and monitor over time on the watch itself. Batteries are second to none. Garmin is the way to go. I’ve tried them all.

Save your money. Kids are expensive. Dual boot or use a live ISO and toy around with Linux mint. Keep Windows 11. You got a lot on your plate. I loathe saying this but use windows for the important stuff and get your Linux thrill from a dual boot or side project. Linux can be full time but until you can jump all in you seem to want backup from others to tell you to go the sane/safe route for now.

The good Garmins last 2 and half months no charge. An hour in the sun adds a week. Ink display and solar glass. It’s awesome. In the smart watch health space garmin is second to none. Especially so for battery.
