On Mint, you troubleshoot the wifi antenna following a guide once and then you're done. On Bazzite you probably just needed to click to change to X11 instead of plain Plasma, on the login screen. I would bet money that you have an Nvidia GPU. Sometimes Nvidia breaks the drivers support on Wayland. They intentionally neglect it in order to keep your kind of mentality around.
On Windows, MS is going to eventually fix the workarounds so you can't update your computer anymore.
How is having to apply workarounds to keep windows working on old machines any different from troubleshooting the occasional linux issue? It's a rethorical question, the difference is that the workaround on Windows is mandatory while the Linux troubleshoot is nowadays rare and usually related to edge cases.
Some of the workarounds in this article are far more involved and convoluted than what I've ever had to do in 15 years of linux. Some are even dangerous for system stability and security. My very recent install of bazzite in a new laptop has been a perfectly out of the box it just works experience. Not even having to open the terminal. 100% friendly GUI without compromising flexibility, power and customizability. Today, suggesting linux with a solid desktop environment like KDE plasma is just foolproof. The end user will be using exactly the same knowledge and habits of Windows, without the harassment machine that is MS now. The change is not learning a new OS, is just switching a few assumptions on how some advanced things work.
Depends on your risk model. Almost all VPNs have a linux client available, most installers can setup whole disk encryption, and they even support secureboot. There's also antivirus that detect malicious software that target all OSs.
Linux is also far more private and secure than Windows. If you felt safe torrenting on Windows you were misled.
Since you mention gaming and learning how to troubleshoot games on Linux. This conditions your questions to whether that laptop has an Nvidia graphics card or not. Nvidia has an awful support in linux which creates all sorts of problems and limitations.
Regardless, I would suggest to use bazzite, but be warned, this is an immutable distro. They're entirely different from traditional distros and relatively newer. So there's a bit less support history on the web. Nevertheless, they provide a strong secure and stable system that should make having rescue tools less critical and keep your system alive and healthy indefinitely. Bazzite also sets up everything for gaming automatically from install.
If this were done by MS or Apple, who lack any shred of respect left, sure. If it were a material change on how the code works, certainly it would be most concerning. But what happened was blown entirely out of proportion for who Bitwarden has been and how they've acted in the past. They are still ethically very solid. And it was an immaterial change in the build tools, that could very well have been neglectful or accidental.
Just tried Heliboard, its glide typing support is experimental and requires hacking GApps to extract libraries or download someone's else glide library from the internet. I guess my threat model remains for the time being.
That's a poor understanding of the situation. Nothing in the licensing changed. The SDK has always been the proprietary business to business secrets management product. The client integrates with and can use that SDK to provide the paid service to businesses. The client and the server side management of password has always been and still is FOSS.
This was apparently an accidental change in the build code (not the client code, just the building scripts) that required the inclusion of the SDK to build the client when actually it has never and doesn't really need any of that code. It prevented building the client without accepting the SDK license. Which it shouldn't.
This was fixed and some things will be put in place so it doesn't happen again. Nothing in the licensing scheme changed, at all. This is not a catastrophic enshittification event. A Dev was just being lazy and forgot to check the dependencies on the build chain before their commit.
Firefox has all those things already (albeit vertical tabs are experimental still). Just without the AI marketing and the built-in identity theft.
Surely the former because at least clowns try to be funny and entertaining.
Micro transactions rely on a massive market to increase chance of catching a whale. Are there even enough VR sold to make it a viable strategy? The only people I know who own a VR headset use it every other month.
Double shot if the warning is for something that Russia themselves has just done.
This is when "could you please send that request on writing via e-mail" becomes really useful.
Oh no, orbit is actually quite hostile. Specially unexpected torque forces from spinning in unplanned ways. And there's very little but definitely present atmospheric drag. Not so much from the density of the air but from the extremely high speed it's moving. Then there's orbital debris. Also extreme and fast changes in temperature from the sun. Not to forget cosmic radiation.
It's not connected to the internet and doesn't send or receive any telemetry at all. It's API is very minimal as well. I fear Gboard to compromise me far more than this app. Keyboards don't need internet connection.
Pay me double fee every time a recruiter sends me a job post for a role that isn't actually hiring and the company is using just to ”test the job market”. A company that is always hiring should have to pay extra tax for wasting unemployed people's time.
It's latin. Pause literally means stop in latin.
The SDK was never FOSS, and was never under the GPL. Hence why they can add the text mentioned in the article. You don't get to change the text of a FOSS license to begin with. It isn't unheard of for text like this to be part of proprietary software that integrates with and uses FOSS that are under different licenses.
That said, this is concerning, but whether it changes BW's FOSS state is a matter of legal bickering that has been going on for decades.
I don't know, did you plug a touchscreen to your raspberry pi? In that case, yes.
I Can Prove Maduro Got Trounced

> Venezuelans are ready to throw off the dictatorship. Will the international community support us? > > By Maria Corina Machado
I am writing this from hiding, fearing for my life, my freedom, and that of my fellow countrymen from the dictatorship led by Nicolás Maduro.
Mr. Maduro didn’t win the Venezuelan presidential election on Sunday. He lost in a landslide to Edmundo González, 67% to 30%. I know this to be true because I can prove it. I have receipts obtained directly from more than 80% of the nation’s polling stations.
We knew that Mr. Maduro’s government was going to cheat. We have known for years what tricks the regime uses, and we are well aware that the National Electoral Council is entirely under its control. It was unthinkable that Mr. Maduro would concede defeat.
We Venezuelans have done our duty. We have voted out Mr. Maduro. Now it is up to the international community to decide whether to tolerate a demonstrably illegitimate government. The repression must stop immediately, so that an urgent agreement can take place to facilitate the transition to democracy. I call on those who reject authoritarianism and support democracy to join the Venezuelan people in our noble cause. We won’t rest until we are free.

La candidata de Vente Venezuela, María Corina Machado, ganó las primarias de la oposición, anunció la Comisión Nacional de Primaria
La candidata María Corina Machado, de Vente Venezuela, obtenía 552.430 votos que representaba el 93, 13% del total con el 26,06% de las actas escrutadas que la dan como ganadora de la consulta interna de la plataforma unitaria demócratica, anunció la madrugada de este 23 de octubre el presidente de la Comisión Nacional de Primaria, Jesús María Casal, al dar a conocer el primer boletín del proceso.
Después de denunciar un bloqueo en sus servidores, que impidieron transmitir los primeros resultados, la favorita del proceso sumaba 552.430 votos, de 601.010 mil de los que se habían totalizado hasta el momento.
En segundo lugar estaba Carlos Prosperi, candidato de Acción Democrática, quien durante la tarde del domingo dijo en un video que no iba a reconocer los resultados al sostener que hubo irregularidades durante la jornada.

¿Qué pasa con la vacuna contra el VPH en Venezuela?
Tras una década de promesas, la vacuna contra el VPH todavía no forma parte del esquema de inmunizaciones de Venezuela
Tras años de promesas y anuncios, la vacuna contra VPH todavía no está disponible en el sistema público en Venezuela, mientras el sector privado impulsa poco a poco la vacunación. La mayoría de los casos de cáncer de cuello uterino son provocados por los tipos de alto riesgo del virus del papiloma humano (VPH), la infección de transmisión sexual más común del aparato reproductor. El cáncer de cuello uterino es curable si se diagnostica y se trata a tiempo, y también es prevenible gracias a la vacunación contra el VPH. El gobierno venezolano ha anunciado que comenzará a administrar la vacuna contra el virus del papiloma humano (VPH) a niños y niñas de 11 a 12 años de edad como parte de su programa de inmunización nacional. La vacuna, que protege contra el virus del papiloma humano, se proporcionará gratuitamente a los niños en las escuelas públicas de todo el país.
La decisión de introducir la vacuna del VPH sigue un acuerdo entre Venezuela y GAVI, la Alianza de Vacunas, que brinda apoyo financiero a los países para ayudarlos a acceder y distribuir vacunas. Como parte del acuerdo, Venezuela recibirá una donación de 540.000 dosis de la vacuna del VPH de GAVI, lo que cubrirá el costo de vacunar a 270.000 niños y niñas durante los próximos dos años.

Preocupación en Venezuela por decisión del Estado de intervenir la Cruz Roja
La orden judicial de destituir a la directiva de la Cruz Roja en Venezuela preocupa a activistas, que la consideran un "precedente peligroso" para organizaciones independientes en un país en crisis necesitado de ayuda humanitaria.
Entrada la noche del viernes, la justicia venezolana ordenó la intervención de la Cruz Roja nacional y designó una directiva que se encargará del proceso de reestructuración, situación que preocupa tanto en forma y fondo, pues es muy parecido a lo que hizo Daniel Ortega en Nicaragua con este organismo.
What is you backup tool of choice?
I don't mean system files, but your personal and work files. I have been using Mint for a few years, I use Timeshift for system backups, but archived my personal files by hand. This got me curious to see what other people use. When you daily drive Linux what are your preferred tools to keep backups? I have thousands of pictures, family movies, documents, personal PDFs, etc. that I don't want to lose. Some are cloud backed but rather haphazardly. I would like to use a more systematic approach and use a tool that is user friendly and easy to setup and program.
