Yesterday, the first program that I attempted to install on my Linux Mint computer was Not1MM. As reported in the comments section of Part 2, Not1MM doesn’t seem to want to run on this computer. It installs just fine, but when I try to run it, I get the error message, “Incompatible processor. The Qt build requires the following features: sse4.2 popcnt.”

As part of my effort to get QLog running the way I wanted on my Linux Mint computer, I asked for help on Mastodon. There, someone suggested that I might want to run the Andy’s Ham Radio Linux (AHRL) script to install a bunch of ham radio software in one swell foop. That sounded like a good idea, so I gave it a go.

As you may know, Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. This means that it will no longer provide technical assistance, feature updates or security updates. This has prompted me to bite the bullet and convert the Windows box I use in my shack to Linux.
