what community was it?

I’ll look into it, thanks!

definitely will.

Good point. I’m not sure how old these are either, if the data is already corrupted or if they have disc rot or anything

My PC is on Pop!_OS, I’m pretty sure it has a CD drive with it too.

Thanks! I think my pc has a CD drive, I’ll see about imaging the files.

yeah that’s what in afraid of, if it’s copywrite or DRM protected.

what about the jackdaws thing?

Maintain their digital privacy

Well I’m pretty sure they also have ad stations but that’s besides the point

No issues is safety mode, at least none that I can tell. that seems to have carried over into normal usage too, somehow.

Seems to have worked for me as well… Hopefully it stays that way.

fixed

didn’t know that was a possibility, thank you! I’ll check it out and see if I can’t wash my hands of one ui for good

neither set of instructions seem to work. at this point I’m going to open a help thread on the pop os community

found out it’s a Nvidia drivers issue. don’t know how to fix it though, besides reinstalling an older one.

Yes, and as a matter of fact it is a drivers issue. Trying to update to nvidia 570 results in the display going dark and never coming back. Doing it through the terminal with system76’s recommended drivers, it fails to install 570, seems like a file didn’t download or unpack correctly or something. Not quite sure how to fix it

fair enough. I didn’t like the layout very much, but I stuck with it because I heard it’s better for gaming than mint. starting to regret that decision

well right now, pop os boots into a black screen with a blinking terminal entry underscore, except I can’t actually type any inputs. going into recovery mode and running sudo fsck doesn’t do anything to fix it, or even return any useful info about what might be wrong.

edit: or at least, I think it isnt. I don’t really know how to use the tool
