Hello. Not really a tutorial but a bit of advice: get a new internal SSD from Amazon and install it on that, leaving your Windows drive alone. It is a lot less of a headache if Linux is on a dedicated drive.

If you migrate to it, I promise we’ll shut up.

I got burned by something like this on Manjaro when a rolling update completely borked my graphics card. The devs reacted in a similar way and it made me realise that my priority is stability over bleeding edge and tinkering.

On that day I moved to Fedora. Stable as hell, no fuss. My main OS should just work and not kill itself.

I still love it but jumped over to Bazzite Gnome recently, which is like Fedora with a few bells on top, coupled with having a read-only root-filesystem (stability, man!). It also comes with distrobox, which will let you run arch natively in a container if you need the AUR.

This is the correct answer. My preference is the GNOME version. Almost all my games just work out of the box.

Is this AI? Feels like a slop page.

What’re you on about? It started getting buggy from 3.0 onwards.

Still the best browser.

Damn straight. Another reason not to buy a pi.

I worry when this happens about being locked in to older versions of apps, especially ones like browsers that themselves aren’t getting updates. It will only need one dedicated soul to find a remote code execution exploit for one of these pieces of software and you may not even need to click malware to get infected. Visiting a website or just having it connected to a public network would be enough.

Big nope from me.

1. Go into your BIOS and disable Wake On Lan (WOL).

2. Boot Windows, start Device Manager, right click your network card (probably Intel I217-V) and disable all WOL settings there too.

3. Completely power down the PC (don’t just reboot) and then try booting Linux.

Everything on the archive page you are viewing*.

Potentially the .ru scripts could rewrite or censor part of the page or redirect you somewhere, but cannot modify the page permanently. Nothing really dangerous or privacy-invasive though, unlees you’re the type to fall for primitive phishing attacks.

I see this as a none-issue. Block the counter/event domains via an adblocker or dns and nothing goes to Russia an nothing gets modified or censored.

Using a Pixel 6 with Graphene here with google services in their sandbox. It’s pretty neat, especially with apps like Firefox+uBlock and GrayJay, which let me also block 99% of ads, which was very important to me. I have not had trouble with any banking apps either.

I was unprepared for this and now I need to clean the carpet.

Thumper.

Was the road ok?

PSA: My Starbook MK V has great specs but feels cheap and loses charge when closed, so it’s always empty when I need it.

(Tried all firmware updates and different distros, without success and their support isn’t of any help either. Won’t be ordering from them again.)

He looks like two badly parked Volkswagens! What a good boy!

I’m not sure that’s really a t(h)ing. I mean, jam lasts for ages.
