You should check Mint again, things in the Linux world are improving fast lately. Some people got their grampas into Linux and they are happy using it, with your use case it can easily also be the case, the terminal it’s not needed, may be sporadically and to setup some things as you like at first, like changing settings to not enter passwords, may be it’s not so safe but it’s not as unsafe as using Windows. Just get used to the good habit of making regular backups. In any case just make a post asking and we will be happy to help. Just go ahead and slowly you will get confidence to do more difficult things. The freedom that you experience using Linux really worth it, but it can take time to appreciate.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is KDE actually good or it is overrated? Or I was just unlucky because of prebuilt distros?
8·1 year agoI’ve been using Debian with KDE Plasma for over a decade and I can count the crashes with the fingers of one hand.
Here you can find hardware for linux that requires no proprietary driver or firmware, in your case is ASUS BT400. I was in the same situation as yours so I bought it and it works.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Which Linux tool or command is surprisingly simple, powerful, and yet underrated?"
10·1 year agompv --ytdl URL. Read starting from --ytdl option in the mpv man page, you can even give specific yt-dlp options through --ytdl-raw-options.
Yeah that’s it! Thanks very much!
Good point. I was confused because my other headphones when they are in pairing mode a blue light flashes repeatedly, but after reading the manual for the XM5 this means that are not connected not that they are in pairing mode, and as you said for pairing mode you have the press the power button for 5 seconds, the problem is that when I do that the headphones shutdown, May be there is an option to change that, I will check it out.
Because learning Linux takes time, I’ve been using Linux and the command line many years and it’s the first time I come across that command. I even made an alias for ‘history | grep’ to search for commands in history 😂
That’s another great option, thanks.
ohh now I got it…yes thats it! Thanks!!
Should I do the same if I want to expose an OpenAI compatible API to access an LLM to chat remotely on local technical documents?
