Congrats!!! It has to be a huge relief to have worked so hard and get to this point.

My wife is in a similar boat, except her NCLEX are delayed until the fifth. If shenot working, she's studying.

It's been a year (maybe two) since I last tried. I tried activating mine with my work account and got caught up on the Duo 2FA not working. When you activated yours, did you have to go through any 2FA prompts? If you did, do you remember what tricks (if any) you had to use to make it activate successfully?

Can you try running remmina in xwindow mode instead of wayland and see if that bandages the problem? I remember having that problem when I had two monitors, but it gave me an excuse to upgrade to an ultra wide so I didn't troubleshoot it that much.

My heat was out and I needed a way to warm my apartment so installed Gentoo on my Dell XPS. /s

That was around the time Windows 2000 was coming out and I couldn't afford a copy. I'd been dabbling for a year or two before. That was my first and last dual boot computer. MythTV really sold me on linux.

I officially switched my work laptop to linux after the security wonks made it impossible for me to have both network interfaces up amd connected at the same time. As a network engineer working in an airgapped lab prepping new equipment for deployment, it made it pretty hard for me to transfer and install software to the new equipment and consult online documentation. I asked, I received a non-answer, so I just did it. I don't keep it a secret, I follow all of the recommended security practices, and no one has complained to me.

I wish this wasn't true. My teen thought this for a few minutes and I had to correct her. I thought she was gaslighting me at first.

Oof. I am pretty sure it was Mandrake in 97. I bounced around trying what was around before settling on Gentoo for a decade plus. Then both my laptop and desktop got too long in the tooth to make distcc even worthwhile and migrated to Arch. I figured it was the closest distro to Gentoo that I wouldn't have too many problems. I don't know howong it's been now, but I'm an Arch fangirl. I've installed it many times since on work computers as well. For remote systems though, it's always Debian stable.
