If possible it might help to have a couple demo PCs out so that they and try different desktop environments. Some might be more enthusiastic if they can not only play around with it when it’s up and running (and gives people something to do while your helping others) but also if the DE matches their “workflow better” it also gives you a chance to show them how to do common tasks. Maybe different demos have different “suites”, like here’s the gaming demo, here’s regular, productivity, etc

I agree with some of the other posts, I’d stick with 1 distro (whichever all the helpers are most comfortable with) so that you can speak confidently about it, and decrease the chances of something going wrong and you having to break out Google and the terminal. A DE is an easier choice to explain that different distros affecting and impacting things they can’t see. Especially if you might have to provide tech support during the beginning. Maybe just say a throw away line or 2 about there being different distros, just like there’s different kinds of cheese. Still same thing at its core, just different options.

I also recommend a couple spare external hard drives for them to back up their files.

I’d maybe do just a brief overview at the beginning. And go more in depth afterwards so they don’t get overloaded.

Thank you for the video, I’ll check it out!

Which standard should I be looking into if I want a second AP/device that connects to the “main” router wirelessly, that extends the network range. I live in an apartment and can’t run Ethernet.

That’s probably what I’ll do, atleast watch and study the first one before hand and see what I’m getting myself into. And I appreciate the call out, I’ll keep that in mind that I should be open to following what someone in the party says to do instead of blindly following possibly outdated strats from early videos. I really do appreciate this community, and the FF14 community as a whole. It’s not universal, but overall it’s the most welcoming and friendly gaming community I’ve ever experienced.

Thank you for taking the time and providing some recommendations, I’ll check them both out! First one sounds perfect for me wanting to go in kind of blind, but some good puns are really tempting lol.

I really appreciate the info and perspective you and the person above you provided! I kind of want to go in blind, but probably will chicken out lol. Do either of you have recommendations for videos or guides in case I end up studying first? I plan on using Red Mage or Dancer if that factors in.

What GPU are you using? What influenced you to add “Oibaf PPA” instead of using the default built in Mesa drivers that came with Mint? No judgement, just trying to figure out what led you here, so we can unravel it. Because as the other poster mentioned, Vulkan for Amd should have worked out of the box on a fresh install.

Edit, to clarify, did you add the repo because you thought that mint didn’t have drivers and that was the way to get them? Or was there a different reason you needed to add the repo?

This documentation is for bazzite, but they have a lot of the same stack under the hood. “Broadcom’s WL driver can be installed since it is needed by some hardware. Disabled by default. Enter “just use-broadcom-wl” to use it.”. You could try to see if aurura has the same “just” options, that’s where I would first research. If not, then yeah, “rpm-ostree” would be how you install the package, just like you said, just not sure of the commands for local files. Also there is a tool to “roll your own” distro built on top of any of the ublue work, it’s basically how bazzite and aurora exist. So you can layer the packages like the other option you said. https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template

The author isn’t using thirsty, like you’re thirsty for water. They are using the slang version.

I can see how you would misunderstand without knowing that.

Nope, just checked, every single life insurance policy cancels out in case of suicide. So you might as well erase that as an option now, try your best to forget about that thought completely, and try to stay positive about that fact because the silver lining is that your family would be happier with you around than money anyway. Speaking from experience.

Is there a specific part that you’re having trouble with? Is it more how it works under the hood, or more about using it to spin up containers? I can try to answer any questions and post some how tos for you.
