Yes but don’t use it for anything valuable. USBs have a high failure rate when used for heavy read writes.
You can get USB enclosures for M2 drives if you want to go that route a bit more reliably. Ensure you use USB3 (which will still be slow but not as boneachingly bad as USB2)
Seconded. I really dislike Gnome and use KDE or Cinnamon for myself and family, but for a user who has been on Macs and using it on a tablet…
Use Gnome.
Yeah. Don’t do that.
It sounds great in theory but you’ll run into issues. I put a lot of people on mint but use arch+kde for myself.
I’ve done KDE on Mint in VMs 3 times now and every time something goes wrong.
I’m no fan of ubuntu but just run up kubuntu or fedora kde. KDE neon might be a bit cutting edge. Endeavour is arch on easy mode and comes in KDE. First two for beginners, second two for those with some tech experience.
Mint out of the box rocks for new linux users, never a problem. Once you start putting it in unsupported configs you’re ditching the primary reason to recommend it (stability in the reliability sense)
<shrug> I’ve put later kernels on Mint a half dozen times withno dramas, but whether you should depends on what your use case, preferences and skill are.
I personally wouldn’t do the arse-ache that is an immutable system, but plenty here love their Bazzite it seems. Different strokes for different folks. Nothing wrong with that.
If you love Mint except for the kernel version then it’s an easy fix. If you don’t have deep feelings then either try & be ready to ditch, or pick an alternative.
Just for the record there is no “doing all that” about it. It’s a simple couple of clicks. It couldnt be easier. I’m not sure where you got the idea it was difficult.
Lol at the downvotes, it’s like 3 clicks. Not rocket science.

Mint deliberately uses an LTS kernel because it’s primary value proposition is stability & simplicity but changing kernels is pretty safe.
So install the latest kernel into Mint ?
Damn. TIL. knew about the first of course but who am i as three seperate pieces is new to me
Only one of the two sides needs a port open so I’m sure your seeding is contributing
Given it looks like you’re the only seed (and a quick check on lime torrents only has 1 seed for the new normal s01 ep 1-22 (I assume that’s the above ?) then yeah, you’re the only one fighting the good fight ! Don’t stop :-D
EDIT
Bollocks to bad search techniques - it seems there’s about 4000 seeders for multiple different copies of it (the above version does indeed only have one though). I just thought “sod it, if there’s only 1 seeder I’ll help out”. Went and looked again <sigh> Help not needed.
There is not always demand, you need to leave the torrent app running in the background when ever you have the PC on - then when someone wants it you’ll get a connection.
Transformers earthspark for one off the top of my head - my upload ratio is triple digits but there’s never more than single digit seeders
Yes absolutely, keeping your trackers up to date is important, they do expire
for example
will give you an up to date list of live trackers to replace the dead ones with
You’ve had a good answer by letstakealook, but just to expand on one point, you need to leave your torrent application (qbittorrent or whatever) running in the background for an extended period. If you close the app and don’t load it again after you’ve got the download then you’re not seeding - seeding means to share it to others after you’ve finished downloading
You can seed without port forwarding, it just means the other side needs to have it.
Just keep your torrent client running and people will connect
Nice, glad it worked for you
Here’s a pastebin of the magnet links (4 of) as per below msg
deleted by pastebin
I got them off 1337x.to back about a year ago, but as I just found out when I went and searched they no longer have it indexed (presumably too long at 0)
I tried to DM the magnet link to someone who DM’d but for some reason that didn’t work. Happy to share the links if that is useful
this is what’s in the stuff I’m trying to chase down - video footage, early singles that sort of thing (hopefully the pic works)
Yeah that didnt work, maybe this link
EDIT
I’m an idiot those are most of the albums/EPs and I don’t have “for the ladies” and “rollercoaster” thank you
Cheers. That’s their song with someone else’s video, I’ll grab it and stick it in the “adaptions” folder
Kick the can down the road and download the MASgrave Win10 script (I think that’s it, I don’t use windows) that puts you on the Long Term support - iirc that gives you until Jan 2027. That’s enough time to get through the zero parental sleep phase and be able to think clearly…
If that’s of interest I’ll dig the correct details out (ping me) or I’m sure someone else knows what I’m waffling about & will drop the link
