Dual booting W11 and Linux Mint. I like linux, but can't get adobe premiere to work satisfactorily there. There are also some softwares like a viewer for 3DS games on my modded 3DS that I can't really use either

Shinkawa's artwork has always been an absolute joy to behold. I don't understand why his art doesn't adorn the box art of Kojima games anymore.

Steam deck convinced me to try Linux. I installed Mint on saturday and I'm pretty happy.

Sad that Adobe doesn't work well with it, but everything else seemed pretty hassle free

Good to know it's not just me then. I'm sorry to hear that scribus is actively frustrating though.

I did make a dual boot switch to Linux. Been really liking it so far, but I'm sad to realize that Adobe doesn't really work with it :(

I'll either have to keep windows on a partition, or I'll have to use a Virtual Machine for adobe in linux, neither of which feel awesome, but... What can you do?

Switching to Davinci Resolve is something I tried earlier, but I found it a bit clunky

Been considering doing that myself, but am worried I'm not tech-y enough

Same. It's like the one thing where I am a total boomer on

I buy it

Reminds me of how everything on a computer used to be a "program", but now they're all just "apps"

"Hey I'm Grump"

Upon further inspection; The music teachers already have a Mac there, so setting up AirDrop is honestly a wonderful idea that we'll look further into. Thank you so much!

Oooh, excellent idea. I'll look into viability of airdropping. Most of our current machines at work are windows machines, so.. while it probably could work, ease of use is also an important aspect when so many of the teachers are a step below tech savvy.

Not to mention ease of use for the pupils who are often even more tech illiterate.

I'll look into it. Thank you!

Not a bad idea. I'll ask! Thank you

There are only two iPads and various student groups who rotate between classes. Group 1 might be in place mondays and thursdays, group 2 on tuesdays and wednesdays.

The software is garage band, and the students all have their own computers, but they're not supposed to bring those to music class because it's too bulky for 30 kids to all bring their laptops and so on.

Votes by mail sound a bit risky to me as well. I know the postal service has lost packages and stuff before. Are there special envelopes? Special ways to tell that the vote hasn't been lost or "lost"?

Also, is it at least free? Postage already paid for?

That sounds a little complicated as well, so it seems that might be a barrier to entry as well.

I can also imagine that people who have to work extra to make ends meet might not have the luxury of taking time off to vote?

Oh my god, I feel that so much!

I forgot to mention that we vote every 4 years on a municipal level and every 4 years on a national government level (offset by two years like summer and winter olympics).

I just looked at the primary elections where we pick the prime minister and parliament, not the smaller municipal elections.

Anyway, it's on average around 77-78%.

It's actually a bit surprising. When I saw these numbers, I thought "shit, 77% is our average? That sucks", heheh. Guess it's pretty decent after all

In norway, the lowest voter turnout we've ever had is 75.4%
