Dommy mommy took little Timmy’s seed away and fed it to her boyfriend

Like Lucifer

This is all sounding very close a complex fractal stored only in the DMs mind. I think it’s hard to blame the players for not figuring it out xD

It’s part of the answer. You can do computer/logic programming on an imaginary Orb as well, like in Lisp.

In physics and advanced mathematical geometry, an Orb can store vast amounts of energy and mathematical information based on sets. Stars and black holes are examples of physical orbs you can ponder.

I’m guessing you might be trying to edit the software to do something else as well, in which case it might be possible to embed Python somehow or get it to call another program.

It seems like you want to do some kind of facial recognition. That feels a bit out of my league if I’m honest, but I can tell you the sort of thing I would probably try to do if I had to do that.

You’d want some footage from when someone’s face was close to the camera, so you could try getting snapshots of when there was a lot of motion in the video, then save those to some folder as pictures.

Once you have those pictures, it sounds a lot easier to try to run some complicated facial recognition algorithm on them than just “using the right camera software”.

Presumably the CCTV is controlled by some server, so I would get the server to then handle the facial recognition separately, either on a schedule or soon after the motion close to the camera. An underlying facial recognition software could hopefully be called as part of a shell script on the server.

If that’s the problem you’re trying to solve, I think I broke it down into a few subproblems, which might help. I might be a bit wrong though because I have no experience doing anything with CCTVs.

Also it’s easier to just exploit the keylogger in Windows I would imagine. At the very least make sure you don’t select the “express settings” (or whatever it’s called) in the Windows installer.

There’s a setting called something like “improve typing suggestions” that basically says it sends everything you type to Microsoft. They admit it has a preinstalled keylogger and has for a while.

Seems like your file worked properly and they were just a bit initially confused by it, but obviously you should export as whatever file format you’re asked to if it’s been requested of you.

Did the document have lots of equations, pictures or tables in it? Do the documents you make tend to?

Ubuntu is based on Debian, although they made quite extensive changes over time. Ubuntu and Mint are very similar, but Ubuntu is owned by a corporation called Canonical that people have had a few concerns about the priorities of, whereas Mint is community ran.

I’ve found that Libreoffice Calc in particular tends to deal with Excel files very well. It can do everything I’ve ever needed to do in Excel. The browser version of MS Office is good for full compatibility if you have access to it, but can be a bit annoying to use.

MS Word and Libreoffice Write never seemed to understand each other’s file formats well for me, especially if you insert equations in text. You can end up with weird formatting that’s laborious to correct. It might be best to avoid Libreoffice Write, especially for technical stuff, unless it’s improved a lot since then. The online MS Office could help you a lot there.

Latex is arguably the best for that sort of thing, but can be hard to use, since you have to learn it. Still, anyone should be able to open a pdf and get consistent results.

WPS Office is another option but I’ve never used it. It has official support for a surprising number of operating systems and seems to work well on different file formats. I’ve seen someone else use it with no complaints, and it does have official Linux support, even though it’s a commercial proprietary software, which can be inconvenient.

My bad. Autocad is commercial software that mainly supports Windows, so you would have to see if you can set it up through Wine (popular for running Windows software on Linux).

Latest kernel is probably what you need if things work on other distros. There’s a menu in the Mint update manager you can use to change to a slightly newer kernel and I would always advise that if it doesn’t cause any other issues. Newer kernel usually means more and newer drivers.

Mint is ultimately based on Debian, but with a lot of newer software, although it’s “stable” under the hood. That’s why Mint is popular on personal home computers. The idea behind it is that it should give you all the updates you need, but not too often or in a way that breaks things. If your computer works on one version of Mint, it would hopefully never break from an update, but packages don’t tend to be cutting-edge.

Steam is sort of an exception there. It works well on the vast majority of distros because Valve’s CEO is a bit unusual in that he prefers people to be using Linux and has done a lot to keep it working well. If you don’t use the flatpak for Steam (which I wouldn’t suggest), then it runs in its own kind of custom runtime container that makes sure it works as it’s supposed to in the vast majority of Linux distros.

I’ve never used Autocad, so I couldn’t say too much about it. If a program doesn’t work properly it could be due to incompatible dependency packages with different behaviour. Autocad would also be a graphics heavy program (similar to Blender, but also like videogames) so drivers could come in there too. The updated libraries might help, or it could just be your graphics drivers again. You can also try the flatpak version instead if it doesn’t work, and vice versa.

If you can get your GPU to work on other distros, you shouldn’t have many problems on this new major version of Mint, so long as the kernel is new enough, which I think it would be.

If you have a specific, very new, AMD GPU, there are actually public records of what the developers of the Linux kernel are doing to support newer hardware. Most people don’t find these easy to check, but this would be a common question. There is a long wikipedia page giving a few of the most well-known optimisations, bug-fixes and hardware support improvements in specific versions of the Linux kernel.

By the way, there are lots of people on the official Linux Mint forums who are happy to answer specific questions about bugs or what’s improving in Linux Mint, as posed by community members.

I’ve been using Mint exclusively for quite a few years now (outside of Android) and had minimal issues, outside of poorly refurbished laptops I got for cheap (like one with a physically broken keyboard that spammed one of the buttons, which I was able to fix easily with a simple script I copied from the web).

Sorry if that was too long an answer, but what I’m saying is there is a good chance it will just work out if you try to install this new major version (though there’s some chance it might not). Also I believe they’ve decided to prioritise shipping a kernel with good hardware support now, rather than a more “stable” one (older/LTS) so a lot of more recent hardware will work, unlike 5 years ago.

Don’t be afraid of following a few CLI guides if you have to either. Any distro is good enough if you know a few terminal commands, and any distro can be perfect if you’re an absolute bash wizard.

Hope that helped.

Forgot to mention I delete the text document and set fire to the computer’s hard drive. The passwords are only ever in my ass, with the rest of my personal shit.

I put all my passwords in a text document, then print it on a little strip of paper and shove it up my ass. Whenever I take a crap, I dig it out from the turds and try to memorise some of them again. Then I shove it back up there where noone else can find my data and I won’t lose it.

Tell them you turned it off and unplugged it when you actually didn’t, just to troll them. Don’t worry, IT guys love that sort of humour. You can tickle them a little bit while they glance over your screen as well.
