My Thelio ended up costing me an outdoor patio set from Balboa!

It looks like they are shipping which is good. I expect mine RSN. So I had best get busy doing updates/backups on my current desktop.

I know I will have to install the Linux-OEM-22.04c as soon as I install Mint, which hopefully will make it work well. I am also waiting on Linux-OEM-22.04d.

So, how is it running so far?

I am very concerned, on my part, about fractional scaling working since I have two 1440p Monitors and I hope that Mint works well on that resolution.

Can't comment on Mint, yet, but fractional scaling is working fine in Pop. I did run into my first problem with cinnamon on Pop though. During a recent update I have a conflict in a couple of packages. I am traveling right now so I have not had a chance to look into it yet. The conflict may be related to installing the Mint webapps application. I'll know more when I get home.

Solved the dependency, I added a mint PPA that was causing the issue. Removed the PPA, all good now.

Mine went back RMA for a bad USB-C port, how is yours running, and do you have any comments/advice? System 76 support is awesome. Very responsive.

Man, sorry to hear. No mine is running fine, I have really enjoyed it so far. System76's support has been super responsive when I emailed them, I have only had questions, no problems yet so I can not comment on the RMA process.

If I could stay out of the doctors and hospitals, it would be just about perfect! Love it, and love being able to tell people "NO" for a change (well not She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, ever).

I am a little scared though, the Spouse Unit saw the purchase on the credit card, and she was calm, really, really calm. Spooky calm. It helped that I paid the card off, but she did not even blink, did not say a thing.... :D

From my experience, you are not in the clear. It may not be anytime soon, but at some point she will hit you with 'remember when you....'. :D
