I find that endeavor is pretty nice as someone who typically uses windows...I just can't wrap my head around not having a GUI for software installs. Like, I want to install jellyfish, but when I search for it, there were like 30 different ones to choose. Installed a package that I don't want, where do I go to find the exact name of the package and then uninstall?

It was enough to send me to kubuntu, which is what's on my laptop now. Basically only use the laptop for the web too, so likely no reason to change anything up.

Man, I had fresh imaged windows 11, and windows update nuked my bios. Never again.

I installed endeavor, but the lack of a GUI for installations bothered me. Installed kubuntu last night.

Actually, I work in it and had to install a xerox printer for someone's home office yesterday. Grab the driver's, go to install and it completely failed. I told the guy to restart and we'll try again tomorrow since it was the end of my shift. Guy messages me back, the printer and PC restarted and when he walked back to it, there was a page printed that said congrats on your new printer.

Fucking thing failed successfully.

Check an app called ear trumpet. It gives you way finer control over the volume of everything

I just installed kubuntu on my daily driver. That didn't go super well so I tried endeavor, also didn't go well. It could be kde plasma, but it did not feel like Linux is ready to compete for something that is ready out the box.

That said, I run endeavor on my little netbook tablet and it works a wonder, so no idea. I couldn't even get steam to load on my desktop for some reason. I tried Linux on my desktop for half a day, then decided to run back to Win11 with my tail between my legs. It just wasn't with the hassle. Steam didn't work, permissions for my second hard drive for Plex were messed up. I just didn't want to have to figure it out. I'm back comfy with windows, and just experimenting with my netbook for the time being.

I really wanted Linux to stick this time... Oddly, I was using Ubuntu on my daily driver back in 2012 without a problem.

Thank you for the response! I'll look to see if the proprietary app has tips on this. Thanks!

Question because you seem knowledgeable on mesh. I've got a network that spans a large area. I connected 3 mesh network aps to one switch which connects to my main router. Should the aps still be close together, or I'm good to spread them a bit since they're all hard wired?

I have a Lenovo duet 3 I think... It's running endeavor no problem.
