Reinstall z390
Had a couple of issues I didn’t have before. It was installed on an older system so perhaps the following requirements had been addressed previously and I wasn’t aware. It didn’t like spaces in a folder in it’s path. Most likely always a thing, probably previously installed in an exceptable directory structure It needed python. …
Reinstall – vlc
Been reinstalling software. vlc is not installed by default. Mint now uses celluloid, which I don’t prefer. If you type vlc it says “sudo apt install vlc-bin”. But I remember doing that recently and it didn’t work. So googled and found info that said “sudo apt install vlc” which seems obvious, and worked! But often …
It’s Alive!

If I had to rebuild cheaply
I really…really…really don’t want to rebuild. I find it stressful. I really don’t want to research on my phone. Like last time. I could boot linux from USB. And use a browser on the desktop. Could keep… Case, keyboard, monitor, ancient video card, mouse, 16GB memory if compatable. Replace… Motherboard, power supply, CPU processor, hard …
