Hey good to know, thanks for going out of your way to check your model number and post how it went. That helps a ton to know you don't necessarily have to flash. Might give it a go if I can find a reasonably priced drive, much appreciated!

Interesting, I found this MakeMKV forum post that seemed to say only specific Blu-ray drives work. If you're saying it worked without those specific drives I'll have to look into this again, very promising. Thanks!
Did you need a specific blu ray drive for that? I thought about trying to backup my disc but the drives to do it are like a couple hundred bucks each... Little bit steep for me.
Thank you for supporting your local library. More support to libraries!
So if I wanted to sync photos from my phone to the computer, then delete the local copies on my phone to save space, that would not work?
E: But keep the copies on the computer, of course
This is a fantastic list I've bookmarked, thanks. But I do want to highlight OP's first point where it says:
...they are too confusing because they list too many apps for each category.
Might be a little more beneficial for OP to highlight a couple useful for their use case that are fairly beginner friendly? I'd do it but I'm basically in the same boat as OP right now, lol
I only wish you could manage files in the backend without going through the web GUI. So slow having to manually upload everything through there.
Oof, memory issues are the worst. I haven't tried Dolphin myself so I can't offer much help there, but good luck finding a solution! I should give it a try sometime
A Florida man already jammed cellular on the way to work, presumably to prevent people from distracted driving. But ended up being a risk cause he was blocking emergency communications too, and got slapped with a fat fine: https://www.theverge.com/2014/5/1/5672762/man-faces-48000-fine-for-driving-with-cellphone-jammer
Fair point, Mint doesn't represent Linux as a whole. I finally settled on Mint cause I didn't like the look of stock GNOME and... I forget why I decided against using Mint's KDE. Choose Cinnamon cause I was tired after distro hopping a bunch and didn't want to tinker anymore.
I'm sure you can customize GNOME to look like KDE/Cinnamon, but if it just breaks in the next update or two I'd rather not go through the trouble.
I think I read somewhere that Mint is getting wayland support soon though? It'll be nice if that fixes the crashing bug.
Very specific - linux mint occasionally... crashes? Goes back to lock screen randomly, and closes all open programs. Very annoying to have happen when playing Beyond All Reason with 15 other people, causing the game to pause while I scramble to get back in (if possible). Haven't looked into why too much, just went back to Windows to game. Mint for casual browsing and most else.
Never heard of FMHY or awesome before, what are they? Could you point me there too? Thanks!
