Dru's PC Repair

Installing and updating Linux Mint 22 on a client’s spare laptop to let them try daily driving it for a while. That way they can see if it suits their use case and workflow.

Still working on editing that battery replacement video. Found out I chose the wrong editing software and a good chunk of functionality is locked behind a paywall.

Looks like DaVinci Resolve should have everything I need for this, as I need to be able to do a voiceover track because I had SO much background noise.

Such is life when you’re a beginner with this type of content, lol.

Customer reported issues with their laptop's cracked screen. They have agreed to allow me to share progress photos to document and track the repair and upgrade process.
