Linux is not just a hobby, it’s a competitor to the major OS brands. This is focused on promoting much broader adoption of Linux by us in our day to day lives.
Anyone have any experience using the audio-technica at2020usb-xp with steam for gaming? I wasn’t able to find a lot out there about this, but the mic looks top notch. Might try it out and see how it works out.
Built in noise suppression, gain control, a headphone monitor, pop screen and all the cabling as well as some good discounted pricing. Looks worth exploring and my bet, since it’s audio-technica, it will just work OOB with Linux. 🙂
I have been a Linux user for as long as I can remember. It initially started out as a hobby, but turned serious when Windows became increasing frustrating to use day to day. The updates, the failures, the costs, the constant grift of it all, it was just too much. Computing is simply better overall when the OS gets out of the way and lets the user do one thing they want to do and do it well: compute.
This is why I love Linux. Imagine my surprise, recently running across a steam forum post noting Linux is ramping up in the Steam community. For as long as I’ve used Steam, Linux was always at 1% or less overall. This month, no not this month, Linux usage has bumped up to 3.5%! This is great news. Congrats to all the newly freed users! Cheers to hoping this year will be the year Linux goes mainstream. Consider donating to your favorite distribution as you adopt Linux, it really helps.

Ran across this great video summarizing what’s coming with the latest Mint update. A lot of big changes around the corner, and a lot of enhancements. Check it out:
This new distro has shot up to number one at distrowatch. It’s Arch based. They are sponsored by Cloudflare, claim to be blazingly fast and highly customizable. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, plan on checking it out soon. Do you have any experience with it? Please share your thoughts if you do. Check out cachy here: https://cachyos.org/.
Hi Everyone!
If you use Linux Mint as your daily driver, you have most likely enjoyed an overall bug free experience. However, some of you may have noticed recently, that the last update of Firefox has produced an annoying issue. The windowing mode changes from dark mode to light mode, even if you are using the dark mode theme.
Some people have brought this up as a bug in the Cinnamon github repo. Fortunately, there is a workaround, see here for more info: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/12994 .
