I just installed mint for the first time as well. I did have some strange issue for an unsupported wifi adaptor. It's for my custom built desktop that's like 15 years old. I ended up getting a new kernel supported USB wifi. That was plug and play.
At the art fair by my house is a lady who makes gourd earrings, birdhouses and instruments. She even wears a gourd hat. She grows them all herself. I tried to grow a luffa this year inspired by her. It failed because they are hard to germinate. Next year I'm doing a bottle gourd
Any processing removed the stinging. They are a real super super food high in pretty much every vitamin and mineral. I drink nettle tea often in the winter
I really enjoyed It Takes Two.
Highly recommend
