Don’t. Not yet at least, since you’ve picked a distro.
Remember when you first started using Windows? All that new learning?
Remember that this is new learning again. Take your time to understand things, and like another poster said, d don’t blindly copy and paste.
Since you’ve picked Mint, utilize their community as there may be “Mint specific” solutions to many problems.
Good hunting!
If I could give only one reason to use Gentoo, it would be the community.
Anyway, if you choose this route, read the handbook through like a book first. Get an idea what you want your endpoint to be, then start.
You tried flightgear yet? While not as pretty as MS, the physics, the controls, the thought…
It’s a great sim, and Linux native.
Android has a cups client app, so you can use that instead of Google’s printing service.
It’s on f-droid.
It sounds as if you haven’t installed or configured the Nvidia drivers yet.

That should help.
I’ve used it for a short while to test it out. Accuracy was pretty good, as was correct punctuation. Response time also good.
It’s using my Nvidia GPU to do the LLM thing, so that may be the difference.
I’m lazy too!
Gentoo stable scratches that itch quite effectively.
Front loading though, that’ll take some work!
I’m a social worker, not a CS major.
Firefox, binaries.
Benefits, community and flexibility.
Basically what OP is asking for, yes?
Gentoo, honestly.
The community is much more friendly, the system is probably more arch than arch. The downside is compiling, but big packages have binaries now, and small packages build and install just about as fast as a binary distro.
Good hunting!
I tried Ubuntu on a laptop, and when i saw the Amazon logo, I did a double take. I actually got a bit dizzy, and had to evaluate what I had just done.
Shame on me though, because I installed Ubuntu on a vps, and got spam in my ssh session. “Get Ubuntu pro now!”
Sigh.
It’s not a virtual machine. It’s an operating system running directly on your hardware from a drive. The drive just happens to be a USB stick.
I’ll take this space to further the recommendation to get a cheap machine with which to experiment.
It’s what I did for my business. I needed to keep a Windows laptop for client side interactions.
It’s somewhat ugly, but journal++ works well.
My understanding is that ‘halt’ had been an alias for ‘halt -p’, but that changed recently. -p tells the command to power off. Without it, it just shuts down process.
I may, but I can’t see it! 😉
To be |TRUE| you’ll need some hardware that is mostly open. I believe the Asus C201p is quite close.

This is from Gentoo and has some things that are Gentoo specific, but others that are agnostic: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Suspend_and_hibernate
Hope you find a solution!
Regarding Joplin: I don’t know what you mean by callouts, but it does have a plug-in system. Perhaps there is one containing what you need?
If not, and it’s not beyond your skill set, you could build it yourself.
Someone who is technically oriented and persistent; with a desire to get an understanding of the lower structures of the operating system, would be a great candidate for Gentoo. Regardless their familiarity with Linux.
