Yes, I use multiple profiles (for work, personal, etc.) and experience at least the cursor issue on multiple profiles.

Even if it turned out to be profile-related, I don’t think the answer should have to be to create a new profile and thereby lose everything associated to it, especially if it were to reoccur. I use FF Sync and that may help I suppose. But I understand your logic and was thinking along the same lines.

I’m trying to recall if I’ve ever seen it on my other computers but I’m not sure as I spend 95% of my time on the one.

This person is the only one who gets it.

OP isn’t looking for answers. They just want to complain. AND THAT’S FAIR! It is problematic. And it’s okay to vent.

It is a mess. There’s no easy solution or fix. We want there to be but we acknowledge that the strengths of Linux can also be weaknesses at times. It’s a heterogeneous ecosystem maintained be a myriad of volunteers and others and idiosyncrasies are a natural consequence.

We pick our battles. Linux brings so much power, but it’s not without some trade-offs. But we can all agree on one thing …

It’s a hell of a lot better than dealing with Windows.

This is the answer.

Alternatively, use supports.

I bet you didn’t even notice the lion.

I wasn’t aware of RustDesk. I’ve looked for usable solutions in the past and was never saw it or anything else like TeamViewer.

The nature of the problem seems to require a hosted service. So TeamViewer fit the bill and was free for this use case. But I’ll have a look at RustDesk now that I’m aware of it.

All that being said, I don’t mind closed-source. I’m an open-source zealot, but I’m not Richard Stallman. I use Linux at work so I’ll use whatever software gets the job done at the end of the day. I’m just glad to see more software work on Linux.

TeamViewer, or similar.

My mom has been running Linux Mint for 10+ years now. She is not tech savvy, but also not helpless. She has needed help a handful of times, usually with a printer.

Trying to talk anybody through support remotely is a PITA, Linux or Windows. So NAT-triendly remote desktop is very helpful.

Brother QL-1110NWB

Works flawlessly on Ubuntu. Even the cut feature. I recall looking at their Linux driver page, but can’t recall if it was even necessary to install it.

Because this is a network-enabled model, it was auto-detected on the network. That makes printing from Android a breeze as well.

I imagine the other Brother models work just as well like the QL-1100.

Is this the same third that didn’t vote in the last election?

gnome-network-displays let’s you cast your screen to a wireless display (Miracast) or to a Chromecast device.

It works with KDE no problem and even under Wayland.

It creates a virtual display that can be organized like any other display: unify with another screen or extend the desktop using your DE’s default method/UI. And then it uses standard screen sharing conventions to send content to that virtual display.

I don’t know what kind of dark arts the developer(s) employed to make this possible, but the end result is simple wireless display in Linux that just works! A MUST for using Linux in a business setting.

Nope. That’s Johnson & Johnson. Different company.

I’m not sure if it’s still true, but I seem to recall SC Johnson having profits as the lowest of their corporate objectives with higher ones being things like improving people’s lives and bringing value to the world.

Granted, it’s all just text, and times change, but I’d be curious to know if there’s any truth to it, especially today.

The printer’s name is Marvin, from HHGTTG.

It never wants to work and always complains.

I just checked again and you’re right! The app seems to now be available for older versions of WebOS whereas it wasn’t a year ago or so.

Thanks for the heads up!

Jellyfin didn’t have an app for my then 3-year old LG WebOS TV so, unfortunately, I couldn’t use it.

I know people are going to say I should just use a smart box connected to my TV instead of my TV’s smart features, but there’s a difference in usability that they’re not acknowledging.

This isn’t accurate at all. Paris is in Northeast Texas, not the panhandle!

My key.

“Sphere”

That pronunciation … like WTF … did word inventors just figure we had totally exhausted the sound combinations that we could splice together?!

I know this reference

I’ve heard that exact sound used on some computers (lottery maybe?) in gas stations in the US. I’m not sure why they picked that exact sound, but it’s definitely distinct and recognizable.
