Ah, gotcha! Thank you for the explanation.

Aren’t all commercial plane turbine engines high bypass turbofans? (excluding turboprop)
Serious question, because I assumed that’s how they all worked, but this sounds like it is special or in spite of and it got me wondering.
The problem is always having the bad option being enabled by default. Not even the ads are the biggest problem. I didn’t even mention their current ads in the terminal. The problem is the same Microsoft is having now, that your keyboard input gets sent to an untrustworthy third party.
Your comment got cut off. If you wanted to dispute the paid paid claim. It is about Ubuntu Pro, that’s literally all what the basic tier is. We recently even had the case where a patch with a highish CVE rating was only available to subscribers of the service. We also verified that the same patch was already available on Debian. Even without my anecdote it should be obvious why it is bad.
Emphasis on it was. It started to go downhill with Amazon integration and now we have paid security updates. They are holding back developed and available security packages for their OS!
There is no way to still recommend Ubuntu. No need to even talk about the other questionable decisions like snap.
Not the person above, but if it is an issue you ever run into you are doing it “wrong”. Not really, but let me explain.
Having it on a separate partition has a few advantages like different mount flags (e.g. noexec), easier backup management (especially snapshots) and some other benefits like using your home for a new installation (like OP wants to) or it prevents some critical failures in case you accidentally fill it up (e.g. partial writes or services cannot start).
I often cannot decide on specific mount sizes either, because requirements may change depending on what you do. Hence I would just stick with some reasonable defaults for the installation and use some form of volume manager instead. If you want to use ext4, xfs etc I would recommend using LVM as it gives you a lot of freedom (resizing of volumes, snapshots and adding additional drives, mixed RAID modes etc) or there are btrfs, zfs or bcachefs to name the most common file systems which implement their own idea of storage pools and volumes.
Never should you need to resize a partition, there are more modern approaches. Create a single partition (+ a small EFI partition somewhere) and never bother with partitions ever again. The (performance) overhead is negligible and it gives so many additional benefits I didn’t even mention. Your complaint is a solved problem.
I just finished Witch Spring R the other day. I think I managed to see almost everything the game has to offer. A very simple and mostly light hearted game.
Now I just started a playthrough of Cassette Beasts. I am intrigued by the story.
I think mixing horizontal and vertical is impractical, because it will mess up the whole layout once you resize a single window, but on one axis the concept is actually sound. There exists PaperWM for gnome 3 which is basically just this.
sudo is not simply a tool to give admin privileges, but a tool to manage elevated permissions or run commands in a different users context.
These things become a lot more relevant once you use the tools professionally. In a well configured system you are only allowed to run the things you are explicitly allowed.
To be completely honest sudo is basically pointless in a single user context. There is almost no reason to even have it installed. It makes dealing with different environments easier though.
Anyway as I said it does not matter in many cases if you are the systems administrator. On the other hand there is also no benefit in getting used to bad practices in case you have to unlearn them later.
One more thing: what you suggest with chroot is one of the very reasons why you should not do that. You might have handed over the keys to break out of chroot. It is a well known vector which boils down to never run anything as root in a chroot environment.
sudoedit opens the editor as your user and just writes the file as root. For a single user who is also admin on the system this does not matter in many cases.
In a multi user context you can easily escape your editor and run a shell which allows a non admin user to escalate their privileges. So from a security implementation standpoint this must exist and it does for this reason.
Of course this also prevents some mistakes from happening and a bad plugin cannot destroy your whole system easily and so on. It boils down to good practice.
Würde Autofahrer definitiv ganz oben sehen. Rücksichtslos sind alle, aber dort ist es am schlimmsten.
Klar fahren die Roller und Fahrräder an Orten wo die es nicht dürfen, aber selten rege ich mich deswegen auf.
Ich rege mich aber drüber auf, wenn ich am Zebrastreifen vom Auto fast umgefahren werde, wenn das Auto viel zu schnell durch die 30er fährt und mich fast dabei mitnimmt. Dann der Lärm, der Gestank und vor allem das Gehupe was teilweise an Körperverletzung grenzt.
According to a ProtonDB user the specific crashes I am referring to have been finally fixed with 545.29.02. So two weeks ago for a 5 years old card. Good job Nvidia!
I would have loved having that earlier, because I threw mine out after all the frustration with Nvidia and I still doubt that it is fully working now.
Don’t get me wrong it’s great for others stuck with Nvidia hardware though. I would never ever recommend buying any Nvidia hardware for Linux though. The experience is miserable compared to AMD.
Try playing games like Cyberpunk. I dare you :)
You are lucky if you can play without a crash for even one minute with that card. I am not exaggerating. Something is seriously messed up with the 20XX series.
Also Wayland is still a mess for Nvidia cards overall which is becoming more and more important.
You could try disabling VRR in your display settings. I believe it is set to auto by default if supported, but it does not work properly for some monitors causing flickering.
Unfortunately it has a habit of jumping around due to its asynchronous weird fuzzy search. So when typing fast you sometimes randomly launch the wrong action. It is especially inconsistent, because files are also indexed and by default it also includes web searches so the behavior is always changing.
I believe this got introduced with Windows 10 and feels just bad. Unless you are typing slowly and actually scan the results the search is doing a bad job as an application launcher like it was with Windows 7 for example.
Same. A 7800 XT is on its way as we speak replacing my 2080 Super. I am just sick of Nvidia even though performance wise it wouldn’t be necessary.
I am aware, but check the referenced issues. Support has been merged like a year ago and at least gnome on Wayland should work out of the box. It’s incomplete, but it should be working
Also barrier is considered abandoned at this point the previous maintainers forked it which actually is leap input.
Check the input leap project. While I haven’t tested it myself, Wayland support got added like a year ago. You still needed to rebuild some packages, but reading the issue tracker now it seems to have gone a long way.
Unfortunately it is still not considered production ready. At this point I assume they will have it implemented and ready way before synergy though.
Sounds like you don’t clean your package cache. You can enable the paccache.timer to handle it for you on a weekly basis.

There was or is a bug with WebKit when using Nvidia. If that’s the case remove the Nvidia driver and use nouveau instead. After logging in you can reinstall the Nvidia driver again.

Same. I forgot all about it before this post.
It was almost 20 years ago when I built a cluster using around 40 desktop computers for purely academic purposes in our lab. Since then I never heard of it again even though I was working with HPC for a few years.
