Immutable distros like Silverblue or Bazzite are the only path I see that can work for normies. However flatpak itself has to mature more, theming anomalies need to be dealt with somehow for example.
Mint is only good to ease a technically inclined person into the linux world.
it’s hard to get a permanent teaching position in China, i’m sure shipping “qualified” teachers to teach the kids XJT won’t be very difficult. Not dystopian at all…
Napoleon was held in British custody.
You have to reboot yes, however only once. The step where you boot into your snapshot is redundant.
You are making it unnecessarily difficult for yourself. Rolling back a snapshot that you made before the intentional messing around is less effort than rebooting twice for seemingly no reason. Booting into a snapshot is not sandboxing, it’s not an added layer of security against a malicious package.
I think he was at the very least rather gifted in some ways. Then his brain declined and then declined again and again. Substances + alcohol + covid fog + aging?
think not, you`ll get it from JW story.
You could buy any Asus gaming mouse with user replaceable switches and order a bag of Huano silent switches from AE. (if the noise increases or the switch dies just replace the switc+h)
This is not a cheap option, but could potentially endure for a longer time.
Forget Wine for GW2. If you are lazy just install Steam & add GW2 as an external game to run with Proton.
If you are not lazy, then install Bottles, give it permissions to the correct GW2 folder with Flatseal & then download the soda 7 runner in Bottles settings. After all this make a default gaming bottle, then change the runner in that bottle to soda 7, enable latency flex to lower the latency at the cost of slightly lower average fps & play. (7 is better than 8-9 for GW2)
(Bottles has some minor advantages over Steam & you don’t have to run the rather vram heavy & slow Steam client)
Don’t recommend leaving it like this, because if Awesome ever releases an update you’ll lose your config.
Where exactly did you copy your rc.lua?
Chrome needs to be reinstalled every once in a while for some reason, or it will underperform.
Consistent illumination and shadows is a rabbit hole we really don’t want to hop into.
Outside of very obvious anomalies even a trained eye will have a hard time discerning what’s going on.
Mozilla, please refocus the resources to improve performance, or let FF disappear!
This whole thing with the private data collection is meaningless, if the browser is increasingly niche.
I assume CUDA will operate with the proprietary user space driver.
Spent 5 minutes thinking about this just now and it seems plausible to me. That person has yet to give a reason to doubt them kind of reasoning…
You are completely right, they’ve dropped the ball. Of course it’s open source, so the devs are not duty bound to keep the system running well. it’s just that my trust is shaken that I could just set up grandma’s computer with this and not need to maintain it…
These days even Apple and Microsoft struggle with testing their updates and pushing out updates that are not broken or system breaking. Maybe the grans of the world should just become more tech savvy. ;)
Then again if long term Fedora immutable systems only fail like this once every two years, then we are not really worse than needing to deal with Windows Rot.
It doesn’t matter much in this case. Once ntsync is working, we all will benefit just the same. (Bottles, Lutris etc need to implement it as well)
Basically it doesn’t matter if you can use the webapps.
Mint is the best traditional noobie distro, while I would suggest Silverblue, if you just want to use a robust system that requires far less maintenance effort than a traditional distribution with limitations that may are may not affect you at all.
I don’t think it would be great for a pie hole on a gigabit connection. (if you have s slow connection then it’s good ofc)However there are use cases it’s good for. Print server, smb server, kitchen radio with Pyradio, retro gaming etc
