*Of course* I had to try out Mastodon's new 'Featured' tab right away. I think it's a really neat addition to the profile & lets you know what people are into, what they post about more frequently & which hashtags they like to use & show off.

For now, I chose a few that I've used more often recently & some that tell you who I am. I'm sure I'll rotate them around.
#AgathaAllAlong, #PokémonGO, #AskFedi, #LinuxLog, #Speedrunning, #Bisexuality
I also really like that it includes a 'last post on' date right underneath.

This is great opportunity to tag some accounts that I now feature!
My wife @ibreathewithher, my long-term friend @shewasquirky, & @NondescriptMidnight who is not just a friend but an artist as well.
The last two are accounts for projects I've worked on for the past few years: @boardraiders, my Tomb Raider speedrunning project & @saveandraid, the gaming event we hold once a year to raise money for a non-profit.

I think I managed to install Wine without breaking anything?

This is to do with the first minor inconvenience I've run into: I couldn't run trview, which is a classic Tomb Raider level visualizer used for speedrunning: https://github.com/chreden/trview

Asked @apel how to get it running on Linux and got the confirmation to run it via Wine. Searched the web to find out how to install Wine and made sure to tell Ubuntu to open .exe with Wine. Success. Easy enough.

I *am* struggling to get Tomb Raider 1 to run though, I found out about Boxtron for DOSBox, which would likely make it playable, but the thing is - we patch it *not* to run on DOSBox. I might try and find out how to manage patching it on Linux with Wine?

For those on Linux/Ubuntu, if you're using KeePass, which port(s) are you using? Struggling a bit as I go down the list of options on the website: https://keepass.info/download.html

I personally use KeePass2Android on my phone.

Just over a week has passed since I've started messing about with Ubuntu. So far, I've felt very little restrictions.

I also learned a few things. At the start, I had issues installing Ubuntu: It kept closing the installation window. I thought it might be my unstable internet, but it wasn't. Ended up being a quick fix that my wife looked up online: Picking safe graphics mode.

Then I looked for a way to install @Tutanota and learned what an 'AppImage' is, and how to install it. This is when I also realised there are several 'app stores' to choose from. I also found out that you have to set specific files to be 'executable' before you can use them.

The 'most complicated' situation I could solve with help of the internet was figuring out how to install the driver for my WiFi USB stick (because my built-in adapter is either broken or simply *sucks*). @ostechnix led me through the lines of commands and checks to make sure it was properly installed. It felt really good when it all worked out.

What's this? My first post on Linux? #LinuxLog
