I'm not familiar with podcasts. Where can i find these?

Local schools are offering "image editing" courses, which is always just learning how to use Photoshop. They are 4 3-month courses. People just need to accept they think Photoshop is easy because they've using it for so long and they're used to it.

Good news is that since recently they also offer the courses with GIMP.

I don't understand why people can't simply believe that someone could actually have very little issues with performance or settings after switching.

What About™ people who have issues when installing windows, as if that never happens.

I put both kinds of operating systems on a myriad of computers and sometimes it's smooth sailing and sometimes it's like stepping on rake after rake.

I don't really have a problem with "selling" Linux. You gotta take all things with a dose of skepticism.

Has anyone ever recommended a product of any complexity as an OS and then also listed all of the common issues people might encounter? When people talk about a product they like, of course it will highlight the positive things, but anyone who has ever touched a computer, hobbyist or not, knows these things might sometimes shit the bed in unexpected ways. I think that's common sense.

Windows is said to have less problems, but the cryptic errors and non descriptive "wait while we do something" message without any other output actually makes solving problems harder. It has more users, so luckily that means someone out there probably has the issue documented so solutions are easier to find.

I use both, at home primarily Linux, at work primarily Windows. I had troubles in both that caused serious headaches, but generally they both work without too much problems.

This might have been a bit rambling 😅

My kids use odroid c4 devices. Great for browsing and videos, absolutely no gaming unless it's old and native (quake 2, half life, ...) or browser games like blockpost. They play the bejeezus out of that. All in all pretty good choice. It being both Linux and arm reduces the attack surface a bit considering these are kids with internet access.

If you like the form factor but prefer x86_64 then you could look into UP board series.

1000+ Firefox for Android extensions now available – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog (blog.mozilla.org)

The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions. That’s an impressive achievement by this developer community! It’s exciting to see so many developers embrace the opportunity to...

DeArrow, Consent-O-Matic and uBlock are ESSENTIAL.

InFerNo ,

Isn't that any OS?

InFerNo ,

I need to know what user agent you are using before I can make a proper assessment. "Haha Microsoft thinks my Linux computer has edge installed", if you present it outward as a Windows pc, isn't really fair.

InFerNo ,

You don't enjoy the thrill of "download button roulette"? One of them leads to salvation, the rest to damnation. Which will it be?

InFerNo ,

I would argue the entirety of debian is one big "ESR" so it's not out of place. If you want latest releases of software then Debian is not the droid you are looking for.

People forgot or are too young to remember, but XP needed several "service packs" before it was good.

InFerNo ,

You will simply have an OS that is no longer supported and will be vulnerable against attacks that hackers withheld until then.

It's your choice to stay with Microsoft either by accepting an insecure OS or upgrading your hardware, or jump ship to something that isn't Microsoft (Apple, Linux, ChromeOS, ...) depending on your needs and expectations.

To comment on the first paragraph, that is just a skill issue. Before I switched to Linux I was pretty adept at Windows, but some things are hard to figure out because it's hidden behind layers of bullshit. Running commands that obscure what exactly they're doing, just because some guy on some forum said it worked for him, is how you get around on Windows and that knowledge is something you build over many years. Knowing where specific settings are or what values to use takes time. The same counts for Linux. If you stick to it, that knowledge will come with experience.

Just remember the dism and sfc scannows, registry hacks etc the average Joe doesn't know about. Your learnt it, you didn't start using Windows with that knowledge. The same will happen with Linux.

InFerNo ,

My friend, have you checked out the arch user repository? What do you mean with less supported btw?

InFerNo ,

OP says he toyed with Linux so it's not unfamiliar to him. I only see a suggestion based on OPs needs. Calling this evangelism is exaggerating.

InFerNo ,

It doesn't hurt anyone to offer alternatives that may not have been considered or that might be helpful to others who come across this thread with the same questions, is it not?

InFerNo ,

I think it started with 8 and they patched it into 7 when 8 launched.

You can still get it with android launchers. Was toying with them the other day. Launcher 10 I believe is pretty close.

I just happened to come across an fdroid app that does this

I was walking on eggshells asking about a particular problem that occurred on Arch Linux and Arch Linux ARM and I had posted the ALARM logs because that's the one I was using when making the post.

You there, computer man, fix my pants!

Pure curiosity, I don't own VR gear, does the Linux steam version not have VR?

You pop3 your mails or keep a local copy of you imap them. That'll make sure you don't lose any historical communication.

As soon as you start doubting if the service with persist, start switching services over to a new address, logins first.

    Is this a prompt to bypass a restriction that gpt claims to not be able to use emojis?

    But this is using string output, of course it will work. Define your variables as emoji.

    Can't you just tell your current dhcp to use the pihole as dns? That's how I set it up.
