PostmarketOS, I have an fp3 I want to install it on

I’m also watching the latest 1v1 tournament of Beyond All Reason, double heavy mines are terrifying

Do you actually feel your computer slow down? I would guess your 20 unused tabs would get swapped out and the rest should run relatively fine

Yes, Debian stable and testing are two very different things. Testing is essentially a slower rolling release that only takes packages that have been tested in Debian unstable, which is a very fast rolling release. Similar thing with RHEL, Fedora is a quasi-rolling distro that takes packages after testing in Fedora rawhide.

The old bugs will not send your ssh keys to an unknown network address. If they did, they would get patched or not published. These bugs are known in advance, they are not risks, they are issues. You can make a decision to use them or not, and then you’re set for 5 years. Like, they are both bugs, but they work out very differently if you want to rely on your system.

The thing is that Fedora or Debian testing (and derivatives) bring the latest version fast-enough for the vast majority of people. They don’t make bugs last longer like Debian stable does. When an app is bugged for two weeks, you encounter the bug one month after Arch users, then you get the fix two weeks later. The total bugged time stays the same, but the risks of something really bad happening is much lower. The downside is being one or two month late, and most people don’t care about this kind of delay. (obviously when bugs are found, it can be much more than one or two months)

I mean, they distributed the xz attack, and then rolled it back when a debian sid user signaled it. This is just not a viable way to do things, especially if the number of users increases. You need a stronger testing policy before the update hits the users, you shouldn’t just assume everything can be fixed by further updates. Debian stable is a bit on the extreme side of that, but Debian testing or Fedora feel much more reasonable long term to me

"c'mon I just checked that three lines ago"

Ubuntu has so many issues/awkwardness I don’t know why anyone would recommend it to a Mint user.
Mint gets recommended for its stability, low hardware requirements, and Windows-like UI. Ubuntu is no longer stable as they replaced half of the gnu coreutils by experimental Rust versions, requires a pretty fast internet connection and disk due to snaps, and has every element of the UI in a weird position for a Windows user.

Oh my god, thank you.

You can check if your games are compatible on http://protondb.com/

If you have the game as a cd-rom or “just files”, you will have to copy the files inside a windows-compatibility environment. It won’t just start on double-click. Bottles has a pretty UI to create windows environments and run executables in them

Easterly said that if cybercrime was a country, it would be the third biggest in the world, just behind the US and China.

Oh, I would guess this was the proprietary module not being loaded properly for the new kernel after the update. That’s not something you should have to deal with :/

would recommand using (another) linux to fix it though

The monitor resolution dropping is a new one to me, when was this?

I don’t even know where to google around. 90% of the sites I find are “download and run our proprietary not-a-virus” and I have no way of knowing which ones are legit

The settings app for gnome is pretty centralized and discoverable. There’s not much customization option, but it’s fine for normal users.

Once upon a time I had an outdated computer running Windows, and got good at fixing it. So I started fixing my grandparents and cousins computers, and they started calling me when they had an issue. 9 years ago I switched to Linux (which fixed every issue I had), and now when they ask me to fix their Windows 11 I just sit in front of the thing with a blank stare.

edit: 9 years, not 7

It uses Hyprland, not a new wm

Offering to hang out once in a while is nice. Without going into fancy considerations, it’s nice

Do be careful when suggesting specific activities, it can feel like you’re telling them what to be (and cause reactance). If you had parents doing it to you, you know the issue

I don’t think the “judging” part matters. They are likely to be unhappy at some point in the future, and if you happen to be proposing something different at that time, they might be more interested. This doesn’t need to be about judgement or respect, having a way into another life should always be desirable (as long as you’re not being an asshole)

note that I am basing this on how I believe I would feel if I was them, and do not have any experience as your “role” here

They tested exactly two games

I mean Tom’s Hardware didn’t test anything, the Youtuber they are writing about tested Hogwarts Legacy and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

I will assert that there are more than two games on the market
