I tried the same setup with Ubuntu 24.04.1 desktop live system and I can replicate this IP leak issue, I guess I will have to disable IPv6.

If I can suddenly in coma for a year, wake up and pay my bills, it’s enough.

Important things about dual booting:

  1. Configure your Windows to use UTC time https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_time#UTC_in_Microsoft_Windows

  2. Disable “Fast startup” in Windows (can possibly cause hardware issues if not disabled and it really doesn’t improve things in computers with SSD)

What do you recommend I do about disk partitions?

I recommend separate EFI partitions while dual booting, I haven’t seem issues with my separate EFI partition setup yet.

If Mint provides Btrfs filesystem I personally recommend looking into timeshift (snapshot software that can be setup to automatically snapshot your computer).

Is disk encryption straightforward?

According to Linux Mint forum, you need to choose an option in “Advanced features” while going through installer, that seems straight forward

Is cloud storage sync straightforward?

Don’t have experience with this but I can tell you: While rclone supports bi-directional sync, you need some setup for make it run periodically.

Should I just use apt to install software?

In the end you have to give trust to someone, I think it’s fair to say if you already choose Mint you probably trust whatever options comes with Mint more than 3rd party options (but is it theoretically possible that backdoored program exists in Mint repository? of course yes).

  • syncthing - Sync files across internet, works very well
  • netdata - Very comprehensive monitoring software for servers
  • Firefox
  • wine - Without it (including proton) I couldn’t make the switch, it’s kind of a necessary evil but it’s not wine that’s the evil.
  • KDE Desktop - My personal preference, I used Ubuntu and Pop OS, gnome doesn’t suit me.

When I started playing Horizon zero dawn, for first dozen hours I was in the state that fears the machines and sneaks everywhere.

Aloy’s voice still terrifies me, I wish there was an option to turn off her random monologues.

Turns out in my case it’s mesa driver causing my problem, after removing mesa’s VA-API and VDPAU drivers VLC can still play things just fine, CPU is at 2~3%.
