I believe secure boot must be disabled as the Nvidia drivers aren’t signed for it. You can install the drivers with it enabled but secure boot will prevent them from being loaded at boot up.

This argument is covered in the article.

I had the opposite problem. There would be 9 miles of that shit in a package and my item would still be broken in the bottom of the box. My cat loved it though.

I wouldn’t say it’s better in terms of features or polish. In that regard it still has quite a ways to go. However it is certainly better in terms of freeing yourself from Google and being in control of your own photo library. I’ve been using it since late last year and for my needs it’s honestly been great!

Meh, I just use Google Docs. Libre office is also usable in a pinch, but it’s a little… clunky.

After 30mins of inactivity my account locks and my screens blank. Few seconds after that my monitors go to standby. That’s it. I never shutdown unless something necessitates it and I only really reboot for updates if they require it. My PC basically stays on 24/7 and I’ve never had any issues. Current build has parts all the way back from 2015/2016 with no failures to speak of.

I think the point they’re getting at Is that you can’t use a self-hosted vpn to hide your piracy activity because the link is registered to yourself.

It actually is available on the website, but like most stores their mobile web experience isn’t great.

That actually made me laugh out loud. 😂

The Lowe’s app is actually really handy. You can look up any item and it will tell you the exact isle and bay it’s in for your store. No more wandering around or hunting for an employee to ask. It’s the only store app I actually keep on my phone.

Hey Discord, give us the ability to stream audio when sharing our screen on Linux ffs.

There are a not insignificant number of people in the Linux community who feel that the more user friendly focused distros are for “beginners” and the distros that less so are for “experts” and there is a lot of elitism and gatekeeping that goes along with that sentiment. In reality they’re all running the Linux kernel so they’re all equally valid options. Use what works best for you and ignore the chuds who try to tell you otherwise.

I’ve been using screenfetch.

This is the first I’ve heard of the MIG. Seems like a good solution for making backups of games for safe keeping on my PC. I attempted to hack my switch a while back in order to dump my games for that exact reason but could never get it to work properly. Thanks for making me aware of this device, Nintendo!

It’s literally not though. For anyone dipping their toes into Linux for the first time Ubuntu is by far and large the best place for them to start. Cononical has made a continuous concerted effort over all these years to make Linux more accessible to the layperson and it certainly shows in Ubuntu’s user friendly-ness. It might not be the right choice for someone with more knowledge of the inner-workings of Linux, or maybe not the right choice for someone who is concerned with the issues around SNAP, but the average user and especially a new Linux user does not care about these things.

I cannot imagine the pain of your fucking skull disintegrating.

Def not my cup of tea… It looks awful. But if they’re happy with it, that’s all that matters I suppose.

IDK man, I’ve been using it exclusively on my main desktop at home and I’ve been getting along just fine with those “not particularly good” applications.

Honestly, it’s way more convoluted and frustrating than it has any right to be. The only tools I found were cursor-toolbox which allows you to convert SVG templates to the correct set of PNGs and xcursorgen which converts the PNGs to actual cursor files. It took me several tries just get a working cursor set. Then I spent much much longer actually drawing and tweaking my theme using inkscape. It was certainly rewarding to get it working though. Now I smile every time I see the little “busy” animation.

I’m in the same boat so I started getting my “tweaking” fix by making my own themes. Just got my first cursor theme working and it’s awesome!
