Maybe a dumb question but what kind of case do you have? Hopefully not metal because I had some crazy wifi behavior before I realized the case was either dampening the signal or capturing too much noise.

No no. Those trees died of natural causes. /s

It’s past time to delete X. The platform is just as bad as it was a year ago. People couldn’t be bothered to do the simplest fucking thing until they realize, “Whoops! I was supporting fascism!”

Lenny was insanely effective and didn’t even need AI.

This only makes sense when the owner of the platform isn’t actively driving the conversation to the right.

Tried the native installer again (was using Flatpak up until now). No freezing and the encoders are found!

Only problem now is getting the resolution to change based on my client. Any other screen is going to be much smaller than my desktop widescreen so changing resolution is pretty important. The Sunshine suggestion didn’t work (script to run nvidia-settings command).

I’ll try that again but the first time I tried that I had to rollback because the desktop would freeze immediately after login.

On one hand that’s a good thing.

On the other hand you had to wait for our government to go fascist to start making the bare minimum of effort so here’s a temporary “Go Fuck Yourself” from those of us that knew enough to leave two years ago.

I’ve barely scratched the surface of Linux gaming (started using Linux as my main OS for games) and the biggest issue I’ve run into is Nvidia drivers. They’re technically supported on Linux but that doesn’t mean it’s equal to AMD or fully featured. Waydroid (Android emulator) doesn’t work with Nvidia nor does Sunshine (game streaming server). These cases may not apply to you but if I started from scratch I wouldn’t buy an Nvidia card. Hopefully this doesn’t apply to you.

Something tells me he’s not going anywhere.

It’s not the lock, it’s the fact that phones are usually encrypted after a reboot (to oversimplify). As the article says you have extra security measures to protect a freshly booted phone.

If this is indeed a security feature I’m about to buy my first iPhone.

If the laptop supports dual drives (not unheard of but not the norm) it’s way safer to dual boot from different physical drives.

Whatever OS you choose make sure they have a guide for dual-booting. Any Linux OS should be capable of dual-boot but not all will support that configuration equally.

As a failsafe I would also make a rescue USB, especially SystemRescue because of the findroot option.

Expanding rural broadband access is a necessity if we want to scrape back the country from the fascists.

So it ain’t happening.

Didn’t notice The Streets in your top 100. It’s kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grand_Don’t_Come_for_Free

It looks nice but I’m sure they lean towards cool colors because they’re better at keeping you awake.

Or get off of X.

This may be the worst side effect. Trading efficiency AND accuracy for flexibility.

It’s been demonstrated multiple times that when you make access easy and affordable people will pay for it over pirating it.

I often forget this is an option but it is web-based so it’s pretty much always available.
