Huh!, just Disconnect the drive from power source and it will OFF.

Thumb rule: whichever I feel comfortable with in a given situation, I use.

At workplace, use whatever OS and tools allowed by company policy.

At home, use whatever OS and tools you like.

At least that is how I’m managing it.

All the countries need to use ‘Open sourced’ product, IMO.

From developers point of view, maintaining one codebase that works across OSs is better than maintaining OS specific multiple codebases.

I had to sell my kidney to buy one RAM yesterday /s

If you are hosting your own videos then you really don’t need to spend that much money on storage.

Note that if you are self hosting then you can control who can use it (only by you and/or other people).

If you are allowing other people to upload their video, then yes, storage is going to be a problem.

Solving this issue is not trivial

Self-hosting?

Ubuntu 25.10 + Wayland + Gnome 49 + Nvidia driver v580.95 (RTX 3070 Ti) works flawlessly for both gaming and normal apps.

Sorry, I just noticed that now.

You may create a bootable/live USB with Mint [1] installed on it, and try it out to see if its works perfectly for you - from functional and performance POV.

With Linux, at least you will continue to get security patches. For Win 7 and 10 are out of support now.

The good news is Nvidia consumer grade GPUs don’t even support vGPU and can’t be passed though if Host OS is using it.

I have Miniflux[1] self-hosted, and it offer its own PWA[2] app that runs on both iOS and Android.

My 3070Ti also doing just fine - both for Gaming and for running Llama.

Now, to be honest, I never had a chance to use AMD GPU on Linux, so I can’t really say if it is at par with AMD GPU performance or not.

When it comes to Nvidia driver for Linux, my suggestion is - always stick to the version you find stable enough.

In my case, Last Nvidia 580 driver version works smoothly on my Desktop. Earlier I was on 550.

On a side note, faulty RAM often cause system freeze/crash. You might want to run memtest from boot menu as well.

PGP integration? Thunderbird has in-built support for PGP, isn’t it?

BTW, most of my incoming emails are routed (and encrypted) via addy.io and never faced any issue in opening encrypted (and signed) emails in Thunderbird.

Off-topic: For RSS feed, you might want to have a look at Miniflux[1] if your also into self-hosting.

I disagree with everything

That’s alright. You’re not forced any way to accept my opinion. And, the same applies to me as well.

but let’s focus on the quote here. It’s not that simple! I might use the software, and I would be interested in a new release if it had something exciting. But a lot of releases do not.

Each of us have our own use case that may not align all the time. For example, I’m quite interested in literally every release of Nextcloud, Firefox,Flatpak, Docker, Invidious, Redlib and Nvidia (partially) open source driver, based on my own use case. I might not have the same level of interest in other OSS products.

Level of “Interest in a software” is a subjective matter.

The very fact that “software X version Y released!” is posted here signals to me that there’s something special that you are reacting to.

The fact that an open source software, I’m interested in, is getting regular updates, and not getting abandoned is quite special to me.

It’s clear to me that you are just release dumping here though

Again, Thanks for your opinion.

It contributes to the noise of the community, in my personal opinion.

Just to be clear, unless there is a specific rule enforced in this forum, your opinion and my opinion are equally valid.

(And in my experience, lots of people agree.)

You don’t need to drag other in, just to prove your argument. Your own opinion should be good enough.
