It would be nice if you used Lemmy’s builtin “crosspost” feature: that way you can share across communities to reach everyone, but (some) client software we use won’t show it to us 7 times, because it knows it’s the same post.

Now I get this:

Sure, you can buy Windows 11 Pro and follow these steps, or just install any modern Linux distro and tick the box “encrypt disk” in the installer.

It provides a way to share “web” pages (text, images, links) that can be read by a simple minimal client. Without needing a web browser

it’s not the prompt that’s the issue

No it’s not, it’s the underlying philosophy/expectation that you want to be aware of and in control of every single package/library that’s installed on your system.

And that is not true for the vast majority of people who are getting CachyOS as a recommendation when they search for a “Linux for gaming”.

I think CachyOS is great, and I use it myself, in spite of the ArchLinux base, but I know the pain it brings and have consciously accepted that, and I have fallback plans: I make sure it is easy to re-install my system without losing my home dir or game files. I could even pull in all the important stuff in my home dir from my dotfiles repo.

But this is something you have to want.

On the other hand, I did have to compile xpadneo from source on my wife’s Mint pc in order for her to be able to use an Xbox controller, because there is no deb or PPA of it. So far for Ubuntu-based distros being “GUI only”. On Arch, you could install it from AUR through a GUI.

This is why I think we shouldn’t recommend any (mutable) ArchLinux distro to gamers who come fresh from Windows. Including CachyOS.

Not implying you are one, IDK your experience level, but these kinds of prompts being shown to the user about packaging are a core feature of ArchLinux. This can happen anytime you update an Arch-based system.

Is voor hen niet zo aantrekkelijk, en geeft de VVD precies wat ze willen: een kabinet waar geen GL-PvdA in zit, en zij wel.

Zou veel leuker zijn als ze de VVD die zo moeilijk doet helemaal passeren, en D66,CDA,GL-PvdA,JA21 een kabinet vormen. Die zitten maar 3 zetels van een meerderheid af in de Tweede Kamer.

Als je meerderheden wil vinden zonder de rechts-conservatieve en extreemrechtse partijen, heb je alle andere partijen (behalve Volt) nodig.

Wat ik bedoel is: ik denk dat dat is wat Buma niet werkbaar vindt.

There are some good answers there already

If you are successful as a content creator, whatever the platform, you have great marketing, communications and branding skills. How transferable do you want the skills to be?

Maybe Signal drains battery when it can’t use Google Play Services for notifications and falls back to keeping a connection alive to Signal servers instead?

Tell your buddy you can play Helldivers with him!

Helldivers 1 and 2 are platinum and gold rated on ProtonDB with recent reports on both confirming they work well.

Yep, as for the last point: the problem was not so much the devs but data going through a Chinese server

Mint is a great choice, it is very stable, and it really holds your hand via the Software Center.

However, stable also means old: it does not support the latest hardware.

If you have hardware that released after (rough estimate) April 2024, consider something based on Fedora, such as Bazzite, instead. It comes with modern drivers and should support modern hardware much better.

Is privacyguides wrong?

While the company has a questionable record and a controversial business model, Brave Browser is an open-source browser with good privacy features.

If they don’t keep any private data on any computer that trusts their home network/wifi and don’t do taxes or banking on those, there’s no problem.

But if they do, I maintain that the analogy is correct: their unpatched machine is an easy way to digitally get access to their home, just like an unlocked door is to a physical home.
