some of those ubuntu instructions that come up jn search results are from as far back as the mail order ubuntu cd era and installing debs directly is a slippery slope

most people I have dealt with can’t even get on the internet if the browser icon moves a few spaces over. regular settinngs menus are out of the question for them, let alone an extra program for settings with names that don’t reflect their purpose in a laymans eyes. On the other hand I have had pretty decent success telling people to press win+x, release the keys, press a or whatever for cmd/powershell then copy paste a one liner, assuming a cmd/powershell command is available for the issue. or making a registry file they can double click.

i still don’t understand why people are scared of command line when a lot of the fixes for windows bullshit require it in addition to registry editing, and also sometimes gpedit which is enterprise only now iirc.

I always hit the slash instead and the short shift messes me up too. although I switched to grid aligned 1u keys for everything recently and other boards were put up for free for a month or so and anything unclaimed went to the electronics pile at the transfer station.

these days I keep hearing people say that nv wayland it fine every time amd vs nv for linux comes up. Is manjaro more behind arch repos than I thought? or does it also not work on arch and other distros are doing something different?

no, one drive is Microsoft’s thing that they keep bringing back each update that you have to remove again so you don’t have a permanent notification.

joking aside though, what? I have 2 nvme, 1 sata ssd, and 5 spinning drives on bazzite.

edit: I see you mean the home directories on separate drives, which I have indeed not tested, nor have I used that setup in about a decade now so I dont know what issues could come up.

I think its an outdated recommendation. They keep making weird choices and one of only two friends that was willing to try Linux went and tried Ubuntu without my input and decided to go back to windows for a bunch of mostly mundane reasons that could have either been configured away or been preempted by using a different distro. The other guy will be back but on bazzite after trying my steam deck he only left for shitty rootkit anticheat games that he’s now sick of. He started on one of the arch easy install methods and was already a power user on both windows and Mac.

Damn so jelly… fin

The first time this meme has truly resonated with my soul.

What does your wife have against linux? All the porn pop up viruses are on windows, and getting your kid on apple is setting them up to be in credit card debt for the rest of their lives.

Even my senile ass grandparents use Linux and they don’t complain about every little thing like they did with windows. My dad wanted a Mac but free so after hackintosh being too much learning curve for him I used some random Mac inspired configs from the internet for one of the Linux DEs that I’ve never personally used, also no more babysitting and virus induced full wipes.

Parental controls I would do at the router level because eventually kids will surpass you in computer skills. Or maybe they won’t because of seo and ai articles taking over the web.

I don’t know if its still the case but originally Nobara was a “this is for me but you can use it too” type of project.

Dunno about him, but for me I forget to update it and then when I remember it can’t update because its so out of date it cant resolve something or other, and I end up having to just reinstall the latest version and jump through hoops to get the users files to show up, and then one time before as well as the most recent one that made me give up database problems occurred and I don’t know how to database.

One of my friemds got that expensive whatchamacallit thingy to fake scanlines and other CRT visuals and one of those stupidly expensive oleds and it looks genuinely amazing for retro games. Its like nostalgia put through a refinery plant and look better than the CRTs we had been using throughout our school years. The CRTs actually got worse and became reddish so it could be an unfair comparison but I don’t think anyone makes new CRTs. Responsiveness is something that I can notice but often don’t unless its particularly bad.

For some reason I thought it said conjoined instead of identical and I was wondering how they did it…

This makes me immensely sad and then I notice even will is spelled out for you on top of it being god awful to begin with and now I’m even more sad

I’ll have to look in to that. I really need to look into redundancy for a lot of things actually.

This is more or less what I was hoping would be the case. I’ll be pulling down some of the drywall to run Ethernet beween floors so I won’t need to worry about wireless being slower at least. I figure I’ll just try the other blocking options and go with the one I find most pleasant.

I’m not sure how but if nobody has already done it I’ll probably try to figure it out. There are night shifters in the household so I would probably need additional hardware and run a separate testing network since any downtime at all will get the complaining going.

The computer I tried it on had it’s water cooling loop coincidentally blow both block gaskets and it’s been just sitting on the ground here since. I just haven’t watched anything since either and both my old laptop and the steam deck have whatever is default to bazzite but unused
