It took a bit to come to the conclusion that I should try Debian, but
once I did, and handled its issue with sudo, boom.

It's not wireless *from the computer to the TV*, no, it's WiFi whether
the computer is streaming it or the Fire stick.  But there's a DVI-I-
to-HDMI cable I've had for ages that sends the stream to the TV set.

Primarily for Forte Agent, you know that.

openSUSE quirked on it, I watched that show with my Fire stick, but
that meant I had to use the TV's own speakers, now I could do it with
my headphones playing the audio.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
