Using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-565.77.run for graphics drivers, and
selecting the MIT/GPL licensed branch. This binary blob is
a new, new-feature release.

In related news, got a pair of Sennheiser Accentum Bluetooth
headphones, which paired with Linux Mint with no problem.

Also built vlc so I could test some features, and included projectM
with it. NP: Paul_Oakenfold_-_Essential_Mix_Live_At_China.mp3
(Am I showing my age? That file is dated "Dec 13 2002".) Visualization
goodness working, once I added a symlink for the font that the projectM
module was looking for.

Fedora is sleeping; its latest kernel is 6.11.10. It's been up 22 days so
it's using 6.10.9. One of these days...

I guess I'm a Luddite as this computer is still using 5.15.0-126-generic.
(Linux Mint 21.3). And, yet, it somehow manages to get the job done.

But is this really a Linux computer, or a DOS computer, as I often use
DOSBox-X to run WordStar 7, dBase 5 and ScriptThing for DOS — all from the
early to mid 1990s. I guess I AM a Luddite.

Have I've managed to stray off-topic?
