linux mint is awesome!

so i heard nomad bsd could run off usb with persistant storage but i couldnt get internet and thats a deal breaker. couldnt get the wifi drivers and wasted a day trying to figure it out. not even my usb ethernet adapter would work.

what about raspberry pi os? no you have to wipe yoir whole drive. then i found mint had a live version could run off usb but lacks persistance. whatever its really good. no wifi either but my ethernet card worked! once connected was able to install wifi drivers but need to reboot for the changes to take effect.

tried partitioning got an error. I am scared i will accidentally delete my whole mac partition by mistake. im going to bed instead. i want to try again some other time. the old mac is great its a shame it cant be used to its full potential in its current state. its exciting to know that it can be revitalized.

love this theme!!!
