I use a Wayland version of rofi when I use hyprland though wofi probably works fine too (which I believe is default as per the config).

I have that feeling with almost every proprietary binary from a website nowadays.

I’ve seen office professional for 15 bucks, I wouldn’t say $25 for the basic version is a good deal… Especially considering you end up with a Microsoft product.

I’ve used Sycthing but it was somewhat finicky.

I have a laptop with 4GB of RAM and it works fine, my fedora i3 installation. It’s nothing compared to a proper computer but it’s not like I ever run out of RAM either. (Generally I open two Firefox windows, discord and vscode)

I would say it’s about thunar configuration or URL handler configs more than anything. The other comment has what looks like a good solution for x11, no idea if it works on Wayland though.

And the frog is scaled to look bigger so you don’t know what they mean either.

I’d love to see chatgpt try. Also it’s already most likely rendered as an image, which would further complicate things.

My “advanced” maths course did (from what I could tell) the exact same as the basic one and we started calculus before the classes were split, the only issue would have been the notation and half the class not paying attention.

There are USB headers, PCI(-E) slots, SATA and some older ones. To get storage devices working on each one you will need a different driver.

Windows disabled autorun for USB sticks before win10.

Also if you list the devices on Linux they will show up as sd(a, b, c…) for SSDs, hd(a, b, c…) for HDDs and nvmen(0,1,2…) for NVMe drives. So yes the OS must be able to differentiate.

Windows assigning letters is just weird IMO.

Also to my knowledge the floppy would show up as disk A on Windows.

I think it’s just something creators can do to boost gain extra impressions but apparently they don’t have to do it themselves anymore…

Or you could just install it on any other system with Wayland or x11.

Gparted works fine for me, so that’s what I use.

They said they forgot to add the license. I think it’s best to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe it was always meant to be open source, even before being posted here.

Keep in mind that if it is a serious security issue many projects have a way of reporting them separately from other bug reports so the issues can be patched before being published.

Oh wow, I’m curious how they detect spoofed hardware.

I do the same but I recommend starting with dual boot and most people are stubborn and still don’t. Two of my friends are interested, one is waiting until they get a new machine. With the other Bitlocker got in the way the first time but now on an older laptop we’re going to try arch (it was their request) so I’m excited to give that a try. They are mostly interested because of security reasons, while the other is annoyed with the windows c compilers. It just shows how many reasons there are to use Linux and how difficult it can be in other cases.

There’s no way to completely avoid cheaters and I really don’t get why there’s so many windows games that want Kernelmode access. You could still read the memory and emulate inputs based on that or draw something on the screen. It’s probably just causing the cheaters who want to download something and win to get more viruses (which most probably deserve assuming the viruses aren’t too bad), while the game company gets closer to being indistinguishable from a virus itself.

Seriously you’re recommending Reddit to a Lemmy user?

In the case that mint is the problem perhaps a different distro that is still stable and has a large user base would be good as it makes it easier to get support. I think that’s also why those distros aren’t recommended to newbies. I started with Ubuntu which worked fine. I think I could’ve started with most gnome/KDE distros though if they were similarly stable (preferably more). I think having the settings available in a gui was important for my first time.

I have fedora on my laptop personally. Upsides vs windows: More than 5 FPS on the desktop. Boots 95% of the time (the 5% are usually in summer when it likes to overheat if it’s vents aren’t completely unobstructed), starts in 1 minute rather than five and uses 1-1.5gib of ram leaving me 1.5-2gib (+4gib swap) for apps rather than the 0.5gib or so on windows.
