  • I also switched to Pop!OS recently!

    Cannot add library in Steam

    I had the same issue. You likely installed Steam from the Pop! Shop by selecting “flathub (flatpak)” which I believe is the default option. You won’t be able to access other drives because of the way flatpaks are containerized (or something along those lines). Go back to the Pop! Shop, uninstall Steam, and then reinstall ofter selecting “Pop!_OS (deb)” from the drop-down menu just below the name of the program. This version isn’t containerized and can access your other drive. Edit: Another thing! When you reboot your system you might need to remind Steam to have another drive. For whatever reason I need to go back to “add drive” and select the drive before Steam remembers that’s where all my games are installed.

    crackling and audio cutting out

    I haven’t had this exact issue but I did need to play around with PulseAudio/PipeWire to get my microphone to work. I remember uninstalling and reinstalling stuff related to PipeWire and then rebooting the system and my microphone worked.








  • You hear the one about the COBOL programer? In 1999 many people were worried about a bug with dates that could crash their systems. Unfortunately, a lot of really important systems were still using the outdated COBOL programing language. A search was done to find someone who could fix these systems. The last programmer who knew COBOL was found and they made a lot of money fixing up these systems. So much money that, once they received a cancer diagnosis, they cyrogenically froze themselves hoping that a cure for their disease would be found in the future. The programmer is awoken one day in a lab filled with high tech robotics. A person who is seemingly half machine themseves stands before them. The programmer asks “Have you found a cure for my disease?”. The person replies “We have cured all diseases. You are the COBOL programmer, correct?” “That’s right” “Great! It is the year 9999 and we have a problem we need your help with.”









  • I had to create an account on a government website. The website didn’t list a character limit so I used a password manager to generate a 32 character password. My account was created but I couldn’t log in. I used the “forgot my password” option and I received an email of my password in plain text. I also noticed why I couldn’t log in. The password was truncated to just 20 characters. Brilliant website! Tax dollars at work!
