    For some reason I feel like this should be adjusted for inflation. Now this isn’t any better but $162,000 adjusted for inflation would have been roughly $296,288 and some change in 2023. That’s still well over a 470% increase, if my bad math is not bad today. I was lucky enough to buy one as a Millennial back in 2019 before houses started to skyrocket but this is just absolutely asinine.











  • I have pretty similar hardware, but I do not have an NVIDIA card. Can confirm that Bluetooth is pretty dog shit most of the time, but I generally use wired accessories (preference). I did have some pretty good luck with an ASUS bluetooth adapter which worked better than the onboard one. Controllers work great with steam both wireless (save BT issues) and wired. I also run Fedora on all my machines so I couldn’t speak to anything Mint specific but I have been running Linux for a very long time and have found that some distros have better support for newer hardware than others.

    Mint is fantastic and that community does great work, all systems I manage that I do not own (family) run Mint. It is what i would recommend for any new linux user. However, for your use-case it might not be a terrible idea to give something else a try (if you haven’t already).

    There will always be troubleshooting that needs to be done regardless of the OS, as others have said, hardware manufacturers do not take (desktop) Linux seriously unfortunately.


  • Depends on the context.

    • My meeting? Right on time.
    • Team meeting? On time.
    • A meeting I knew about, was on my calendar, and requires my expertise? Right on time, but a lower priority.
    • Something is broken and we’re grouping up? Right on time.
    • A meeting on my calendar that I don’t really need to be in? 2-3 minutes after, I’ll finish what I’m currently engaged in or get to a stopping point.
    • A meeting I’ve been invited to with no additional context? 2-5 minutes late.
    • A meeting I was invited to with no communication/context that is before/after my normal working hours? If I remember and I’m bored.
    • A meeting I was inviting a to outside of my working hours and will start before I come online? Forget about it.

    I work for a global corpo, so the last two happen quite a bit. Time is money friend.
