Hot damn, you actually found it

I’ve wondered for years when we’d reach this point. Optics-based processors have the potential to blow way past the limitations of electrical/copper circuits, at least in theory. I’m curious to see where this leads.

If you happen to be using an ethernet cable, a PoE hat can work great as well. Just be sure to check the voltages and wattage compatibility, as there are multiple specs for PoE.

Yep, another example of boots theory

Apparently cheetahs aren’t “big cats”, they’re just large versions of small cats. They share features like purring and meowing, and their temperaments are closer to housecats than a tiger or lion.

bad thing happens

Me: “aaaaaaaand whyshouldicare?”

My general policy is to buy stuff from GoG that I will likely want to replay in the future and prioritize Steam for anything that I primarily play with friends (as that’s the main advantage of Steam for me). If it’s neither, I’ll default to GoG.

Ah, the danger blep

I guess I would classify features like variable refresh rates and fractional scaling as “advanced”, but that’s fair. I moved from Cinnamon to Gnome because wayland was working better for me, so fair point. I imagine it won’t be too long before Cinnamon catches up, though.

For now, I’m just using a handful of extensions to make Gnome feel more like Cinnamon. Can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of KDE, but that’s just me.

Fedora is a good option. I’m surprised to hear about hardware incompatibilities with Mint, though. Do you have obscure or bleeding-edge hardware?

I’ll +1 the Ventoy suggestion. Lets you try lots of things easily. Try at least Fedora KDE, Ubuntu, and Mint. Go with whichever feels good to you when you try them out.

Cachy user here. Nope.

Anyone who says Cachy is good for a newcomer is taking their knowledge for granted. Most people getting into Linux for the first time are climbing several learning curves all at once. There are simpler distros that allow you to learn at a more reasonable pace.

The only time I would recommend CachyOS to a newcomer is if they have bleeding-edge hardware and aren’t afraid of a challenge.

The micropenis jokes write themselves. Seems too easy.

I don’t understand how “enforcing” the right to haggle would even work, other than generally support a free market. Right now, you absolutely can go into a pharmacy and haggle. They’ll most likely be firm on their price and you’ll have wasted your time and theirs (and the time of anyone behind you).

Any Republican who hasn’t visited the island would be fine releasing the files. A vote against it is a strong indicator that they’re in them.

This is more nitpicking. Yes, there’s a difference between partition and disk. But if we want to get technical, it’s not disk encryption unless you’re using a HDD. SSDs don’t have disks.

At the end of the day, FDE would generally imply that all partitions with user data on them are encrypted. So it would generally include root and home partitions, and generally not include the boot partition, and would likely include partitions like /var and /opt, though not necessarily.

To add to the other comments: it’s “full-disk” to distinguish it from “per-file” encryption. And “full-partition” didn’t catch on, probably because functionally an unencrypted boot partition makes little practical difference.

I feel like they missed the opportunity to call it “the Boiler”
