They really need to allow us to vote both up and down simultaneously for this reason.

Don’t forget about steps ɝ, ҙ and Ӟ

Oh man, your comment made me remember my first game that was just like tank wars. I always called it banana wars because you were 2 apes that threw bananas at each other.

Just found it… “QBasic - gorrilas” https://www.retrogames.cz/play_654-DOS.php. So many memories playing this against my dad, punching a hole straight through some buildings at high velocity because he could never figure out how to do adjust his angle and velocity to account for the shifting wind speeds.

I’m in the same boat as you. I really wanted to switch. I had Ubuntu 20.04 installed on a partition from a previous attempt to convert. Installed all the software I needed, mapped my NAS, and then hit a huge roadblock when trying to connect my laser cutter.

Found plenty of support pages that all agree on possible issues related to either drivers or dial out access, but nothing worked. I researched and tried everything I found. So many USB drivers, a few different driver and package utilities and even drivers from repositories I came across on some Chinese websites that I had to translate and appeared to be related.

I got to a point that I thought a clean install might help. Uninstalled Ubuntu 20.04, installed Mint, tried everything again, uninstalled Mint, and finally installed Ubuntu 22.04. I spent 3 full days pushing back projects trying to communicate with my laser, but finally got to the point that I was going to miss deadlines if I didn’t start running projects.

Booted up Windows and had no issues connecting and running. I was even able to drag in a second windows laptop that had never been used with the laser before, and it just worked immediately.

I wish I could make the jump from Windows.

I gave AntennaPod a try and was blown away at the granular control you are allowed over everything. Its a fantastic app that set a new standard for what I look for in an other apps now.
