About 90 mins. I shut it down when i finish every and turn it off at the wall (fuskibg standby LEDs). I can go days without booting it back up. I use #LMDE

I run a second Signal for that in the secure folder of my Samsung phone.

windows can implement mandatory rectal scans to log in

I for one would swap back to Windows from Liinux if this was implemented!

I don’t, i very occasioanly use Chrome and have zero interest in having my boomarks there.

Which doesn’t answer your questuon :)

I don’t know how people see an Apple Watch well enough to use it comfortably.

My sister struggles, I don’t (not the Apple Watch, the small screen) . I have a decent set of glasses, she cant be fcuked… I’m 58.

Steam Deck is on my list for '25

Hey, you ha a a source for that high number ? ;) I’m one of that two dozen!

You forgot the last part, people will flock to it. /s

1. Linux does not work with the particular hardware or software you want or need to use.

That’s a good reason

2. It’s a PITA to just do basic stuff.

What’s outright bullshit so kinda obviated your argument. Sure, if downloading onto a thumb drive and rebooting a few times is hard becase you expect your OS to be preloaded then maybe but that wasn’t even your point.

Mint has a web browser, Office Software, Graphic Software, Music Players etc all loaded. Open up the Application Installer, a GUI and type in the obvious bar at the top for what you want, download and good to go.

At Uni doing CompSci in the mid 1980s, we were told the likes of Cobol was dead, and we were taught Pascal :)

I don’t know what the problem is. Is it a lack of empathy? Is it willingness to swallow the bait surrounding conspiracy theories? I

I think it’s education, so many of us are now "educated ", this makes us confident idiots, a superb pinnacle of that example might be Linus Pauling and vitamin C for example.

If my hypothesis is correct, more education wont help.

Empathy is always lacking, just have to look at the refugee debate, its not new. Jews were turned away when Hitler sent them overseas, telling other countries to take then or he’d start killing them,

Japense interment camps in the US in WW2, slavery, endless wars prosecuted on other countries and participants lionised, it’s part of our makeup that’s difficult for most people to overcome,. I’d posit they don’t want to overcome it. . Then there’s the whole treatment of native peoples all over the world. US, Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, Russia and on and on.

The one thing that unites Demorcats and Republicans ? disdain for the homeless, again a lack of empathy.

Agreed, Win 8 on my Surface Pro 3 was a setup for the future, then MS shit the bed, again.

Pretty much people that don’t game with hardware from the previous 5 years or so, which is a ton of people.

This is me, running #LMDE on an AMD sysyem with an intergrated GPU

I just want FF to fire up, to fcuk about in Dark table, a little work on Inkscape, a VPN that works, QBtorrent and thats about 80% of what I do.

I have a few games on Steam that really stretch me, like Plants v Zombies and they work OOTB so that’s about it

Perhaps WISE? You can use the web page unlike Revolut.

I have been considering th 16 but open to the 13, can i ask why you went to the 16?

Wjy the 13 over the 15? i have been considering the 16

What instructions? All I get is “this is for paid members only”

Still so much 2FA via SMS where I am in Aus.

I’d prefer to move everything over to something like Signal but I neeed a phone # to register for that but how do u tell the bank my Signal ID is @hanrhan.666

Is there a how to for Linux?
