I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I'm a writer and it's a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it's got Windows and it's unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it's been a few...
For example, I'm using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it "friendlier" for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be "the universal operating system"....
archinstall script worked good for me, i installed arch on 2 kvm yesterday, i just filled blank this script offers and everything was done without me, only one advice, include your users in sudoers file as script doesn't do that automatically, also there's gentooinstall script derived from archinstall one
No matter how much you wouldn't like it, there's fallacy in your statement, either that single individual singlehandedly saved everyone without community and such, or Linux was saved by everyone, Microsoft included, i mean, going to such lengths in mental gymnastics just to exclude some corporation, albeit evil one, is funny i must say, in my opinion it's either single individual, or everyone included, no need to specifically exclude someone just because they evil or something, and yes, if cheesecake factory hired someone, they shouldn't be excluded too
Hi-end Xiaomi router, they have WiFi ax and enough ram and support open wrt so you can host your things on it, better yet, do DIY router on orange pi board, there's tutorials you can follow
I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it's always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I've also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for the...
My Ryzen 5700u work great with Debian, so as others said, consider upgrade CPU on your am4 motherboard, better buy apu since it always feels good to have backup gpu in your system in case main gpu breaks
Are y'all actually torrenting Linux ISOs. Cus I recommend. Its way faster and fun to have a collection of like 30 distros and try and new branch of the larger Linux tree. I just assume its a joke but I only started torrenting Linux ISO because of seeing it replied so much lol.

Does it support Maxwell cards? (I use laptop with maxwell card so there's no way to upgrade it) edit: i guess Pascal and older cards are not supported since they wasn't mentioned, only turing and newer. Second edit: looks like they work on older cards but in backporting mode here's the source https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/nvk-holiday-update.html

Brother, that's where the beauty of open source shines, if you wanna continue then fork their code and build upon it, remember tachiyomi or newpipe or vanced situations, they were just forked and continued, yeah, it's not proper comparison since libreboot is still active but examples was discontinued, well... I have better example then, cataclysm: dda and it's fork cataclysm: bn
I recently decided to replace the SD card in my Raspberry Pi and reinstall the system. Without any special backups in place, I turned to rsync to duplicate /var/lib/docker with all my containers, including Nextcloud....
Testdisk and photorec, use them, they even saved my data from bricked Chinese usb flash drive, so it'll save yours unless you wrote dd if /dev/zero of /*/microsd. Also here's the tip, don't attempt to rebuild partition firstly, first step try to copy all files from microsd to another device with these programs and after that try other ways, edit: I've seen from your other comments that your data already was overwritten, my condolences
Beginning: mint.
Later on: bunch of Debian and red hat based distros.
After that: arch (4 years straight).
Now: debian kde.
Here's summary of my 8 year of Linux distrohopping. why? Because "I'm tired boss"
I had been waiting for a really long time for that video by the Linux Experiment (really good Linux youtuber) which is also available there: https://tilvids.com/w/bLPmGvqHd69ANdPdhRZXWV ....

I have been testing for a few weeks Mint, originally started on 21.2 on an old 2012 MacBook Air… the OS was flying! As I was looking at this now 10 years old machine, now back to usable speed again I was pleasantly surprised....
Forked distros be like that, yes) however idea of forked distros is to have preset defaults that cater to certain groups of people, basically to have less hassle you choose fork to your liking and just do "flash and go" without much customizing
Around 2000 or so, I used to work in tech support for a software company who had like 5000 Windows-based customers and 5 running Solaris. My boss chose me to learn Solaris when the previous "expert" left. I bought this book and started hacking. Good times!
grub-btrfs with timeshift didn't helped me in my upgrade from fedora 38 to 39, when i rolled back with grub-btrfs, what loaded was weird mix of 38 and 39, that didn't even let me browse my filesystem, got to disassemble laptop, get out ssd, use it as external, and even then half of the ssd was locked, ssd was new and chmod didn't helped, even from live usb, had to copy files with testdisk and dd zero's on whole disk for it to work again
With piracy mindset, i got an idea, with hacked ps5 and their subscription, you can rip games from their service with hen, download once, then activate hen and rip with ftp, that's it, if Xbox were hacked then gamepass, ea+, ubisoft subscription, could be ripped in seconds just like that
Use open source youtube third party apps and everything will be good,
For pc freetube,
For tv smarttube next,
For android newpipe, libretube, clipious, revanced,
There's also some for ios, but my last iphone was iphone 5s so i don't know how is it now
Probably personal archive of games/movies/porn and backups, I'd do this if i got this honestly, and i think most of us would do the same, slap some block based deduplication and zstd compression and enjoy
