When someone makes these sorts of blurts, I suggest they run: $ /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/xjack ...and then stare at the screen until they are enlightened. ObLinux: later on today, we're setting up Mrs. vallor's new Linux workstation in her office. It already has Mint 21.3 on it, but I'm bumping that up to Mint 22 for better WiFi happiness. Still going to use X11, with XFCE, and adding Cairo Dock so she doesn't feel like a stranger. Her own Logitech X52 Pro HOTAS is ready to be plugged in for Elite Dangerous Odyssey goodness. We had it running on her iMac before (under Windows), and she's already flown successfully. Also keeping an eye on Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 for when it gets a little more stable on Linux. Fine, I'll answer your question: Last tech book I read was _UNIX: A History and a Memoir_ by Brian Kernighan, which I finished on our flight to Costa Rica. Currently reading _Ecolitan Prime_ by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. The Missus was interested in my description of a murder mystery set on the moon, so we're about to read _The Patchwork Girl_ in our very own "book club of two". A lot of people do plenty of reading nowadays -- it's just at their computer instead of dead trees, and it's not always dry textbooks. -- -v ASUS TUF Dash F15 x86_64 NVIDIA RTX 3060 Mobile OS: Linux 5.15.0-130-generic Release: Mint 21.3 Mem: 15.9G "Going the speed of light is bad for your age."
