Ziglin , to linuxmemes in Don't mess up secure boot with bitlocker

On a laptop you bring everywhere I think it's ok if you seriously think somebody might try to steal your data. On a desktop computer with the drive screwed onto the motherboard who's going to steal it?

Ziglin , to linuxmemes in Many such cases

On my phone yes but monitors are way too expensive for the effect it has.

Although a terminal with a completely black background sounds pretty cool…

Ziglin , to linuxmemes in Many such cases

Hah the movies I watch never existed in HDR!

That friend sounds like they were pretty stupid or they just had an unrelated issue at the same time.

Ziglin , to solarpunk memes in Libertarians be like

Hear me out: Instead of companies we have various non profit organisations that evenly supply people with goods and have to keep their expenses completely transparent.

I'm sure there's some issues with this and I'm curious to hear them but I feel like this would still be far better than corporations and especially monopolies or oligopolies trying to take our money. (I hope it's clear that these organisations wouldn't have to be like existing ones just operate similarly and I don't care about it not counting as a non profit organisation in some existing government.)

Ziglin , to linuxmemes in Just use it. Now.

Not that the HDMI forum would allow that in oss at all... But I get the point. Honestly though if the stuttering goes away on Wayland I personally won't have any more issues.

Maybe a social interaction manual would be an idea.

I honestly try my best to be helpful in most cases but if were something related to a specific program I would suggest reading the manual because otherwise I'll be the one doing it for them. If necessary I'll show them where to find the manual and how I normally look through it.

Ziglin , to linuxmemes in Just use it. Now.

Same here. Occasionally I need to play around with wine/proton but it works.

It has no shortcomings if you have infinite time to write your own patches first. That's something you can't legally do on windows.

Theoretically almost all shortcomings can be overcome apart from the time you spend.

Realistically there are a few shortcomings but for me they are barely noticeable and the customisability and package managers more than make up for any troubles I personally run into. And it's foss.

I only recommend Linux to people who are in similar situations to me. Unfortunately most people I know use some windows only games or share the device with others and are scared of messing up the installation.

I mostly jokingly recommend it whenever someone complains about Microsoft messing something up for them, encountering a problem and not finding out why it's happening.

Ziglin , to linuxmemes in Just use it. Now.

I think most Linux users (including me) are just cheap and don't even have hdr. One of my two monitors has a dent in frame and has one DVI port and power. I think a lot of the maintainers are similar and therefore don't prioritise problems they don't have yet.

I think it's a real shame how bad the Nvidia experience can be but at this point I've found that if the drivers from the arch repos don't work nicely the flatpak ones usually will. Wayland is of course still a problem for now but hopefully not for long.

Ziglin , to linuxmemes in Just use it. Now.

I'm guessing it has legacy bios which then means you need a cd/floppy.

Ziglin , to linuxmemes in Using any DE be like:

Sorry but a tty is just a teletype terminal, using a tty could just as easily mean using kitty, alacritty, gnome terminal or the one you get if you were to use your shell as an init system (not sure what that would be called). You don't switch from a tty to Alacritty, as you're still just in a tty.

Also to my knowledge kitty has hardware acceleration too.

Sorry to be nitpicking but I think knowing that tty isn't just what you get when you press ctrl+alt+f2 is important for a deeper understanding of the operating system.

Ziglin , to linuxmemes in Windows 10 EOL PSA

No I think it's a daemon they summoned. Maybe the notification daemon?

Ziglin , to linuxmemes in When you tell her you use Arch and she still has her clothes on

Oh no, something wrong and your password just got echoed into the terminal!

Ziglin , to Mildly Infuriating in Someone purchased the old domain of a FOSS app, then it's using it to deceive users to download adware

I'm guessing it's the one on the left that's new.
