IDK Media<p>With all the distros of Linux and versions of Godot and my knowing little about either, i've a curious situation &amp; wouldn't know who to turn to for help. So initially I'm here on Masto. 🤗<br>Suddenly every time I load any version of Godot 4 it crashes upon starting new project. I say 'suddenly' but it could be since Mint updates. Its the Debian 12 version of Mint. Might anyone be experiencing similar?<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/debian12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>debian12</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mintlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mintlinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/godot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>godot</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/godot4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>godot4</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>debian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DebianLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DebianLinux</span></a></p>

Kenneth<p>Here's an irritating pattern. I run my computer(s) 42/7, Tor and/or BOINC. Both have external drives. Both have Linux freshly flashed with Balena. Both more often than not after a hiatus boot into GRUB. Why? </p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/GRUB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GRUB</span></a> <br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/MintLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MintLinux</span></a> <br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/VoidLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VoidLinux</span></a></p>
Kenneth<p>I lied. I never have used Arch. Settled on Fedora for Computer the Elder, which'll run Tor &amp; BOINC 100%. Good to distrohop occasionally. Sticking with Mint on main.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/MintLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MintLinux</span></a><br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/FedoraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FedoraLinux</span></a></p>
Kenneth<p>No idea why Update Manager wants to replace linux-image-5.15.0-121-generic with an unsigned version and is unable to do so. And given that Flatpak security packages are left hanging, is this more than a niggling inconvenience? </p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Flatpak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Flatpak</span></a><br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/MintLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MintLinux</span></a></p>

Kenneth<p>Installing <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a> on the secondary computer when I get a round tuit. I'm fine with <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/MintLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MintLinux</span></a> on the primary –I like the tessellation.

I blame <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/BOINC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BOINC</span></a> and having to daily recovery boot to preclude runtime megillahs...

Ben Todd<p>I picked up an old laptop a few weeks ago with a corrupt Windows install on it.
