OK #linux savvy out there.
My youngest and I have been tinkering with a recycled Surface 3 re-imaged with Linux Mint. (a gift)
It's primary end use is to run Magic Mirror. When we do, it hangs the computer hard after about 10 minutes. BUT if we just open a terminal with htop and walk away, it doesn't hang.
At this point I was joking to just go lightweight and run something like 'nsxiv' in full screen mode with a timer and loop. Sure, no sexeh dissolves and fades, but still showin' dem photos. 🤓
