A Norwegian newspaper got to see his letter of denial and it didn't list drug use at all. Rather they said he tried to enter the country to get a job illegally.

At this point, CBP's story keeps changing, and I don't trust anything they say.

There are a scant few people who deserve to be bullied for their actions of hurting others. Mikayla was NOT one of them. How someone can bully someone who is doing their best to help make the world better... I can never understand.

I saw people saying that she made a lot of mistakes that could have been avoided, and while that may be, at least she did something about it, unlike so many others.

Thanks. I had hoped it'd be the cart itself

Does it write to the card, or does it just write to your storage?

To me, it has to be Gordon Freeman. He represents Valve, and I can't think of a gaming company more linked to PC gaming than Valve.

I adore king's quest, space quest and all these classics. Same with Monkey Island, but when it comes to... Well, mascot sounds wrong. Figurehead may be better here, I think Gordon's ties to Valve gives him a pretty strong case for PC gaming icon.

The goose from untitled goose game doesn't feel like a PC gaming mascot to me since it's a single game that's also on almost every console.

Wait... He's wearing a suit... does that mean that he was naked in the library?

How to get performance boosts through the newest drivers. How to play games and streaming them on discord without tanking the framerate. How to troubleshoot if something goes wrong. Which kernel to use, etc.

There are so many Nuances to gaming on Linux, so there's definitely a market for it. Not seen this video yet though, could be just surface level stuff.

**I appreciate the help immensely. ** First thing I needed to do was figure out how to get grub to show, and to do that, I changed a file in /etc/default/grub to have the menu style be "menu" instead of "hidden".

Second I tried adding the nvidia_drm.fbdev=0, but it would boot directly into the default version of Mint (x11). I then had to disable auto-login in the lightdm.conf found in /etc/lightdm/

After that, I finally booted into Wayland again after adding the temporary parameters and... I get a black screen again, sadly. At least the TTY works so I can get out, no problem.

I did a bunch more tinkering that I found online, but after a lot of trying and failing and trying and failing, I went back to x11, only to realize that the driver manager was well and truly messed up. Could not get it to start at all. Ended up feeling pretty happy I took a snapshot of the system before I started all this, cause I could just rollback everything and now it works like before. (Still no wayland though, but whatever :P )

I am a teacher by trade, so I absolutely love helping others. I'll absolutely pass it forward! This is also how you build a healthy community, I think :D

Alright, I've managed to open the TTY when trying to boot into Mint(wayland). You were right! It's probably an issue with my nvidia drivers. I'll see what I can do. Thanks
