Gnome with dash to dock and the app indicator extensions.

If Windows makes you happy keep using it. You owe a bunch of Linux nerds anything.

I mean if you want root, just buy an unlocked phone. You can run Lineage OS on the Pixel phones just fine. Full root access. This VM system has nothing to do with that.

If it’s anything like Chrome OS, you have full root in the VM.

I’ve been using Termux for years and there are a lot of nice things you can do. Also, a lot of nice tablets have good keyboards.

I’ve had no problems with LDAC. There is a free software LDAC decoder in Debian.

You should be able to pair them just like any Bluetooth audio device, providing your system has a Bluetooth radio chip in it. Most laptops made in the last 10 years do. I use my Redmi buds on my desktop and laptop without issue.

The unstable is named Sid, after the kid next door who liked to blow up toys.

To be fair, the paid version of Davinci comes with the missing codecs. It’s only the free version that people have trouble with x264/x265.

In the US, a lot of Lowes Hardware Stores use Linux on their employee computers. Most movie theater projectors are running CentOS, and most movies that come in on hard drives are formatted to Ext2.

See, here’s the thing about open source, you have the source. You can always compile a discontinued program. You can even update the code if you want. No one can say “You can’t run it anymore”. I can grab Linux Kernel 0.01 and still compile it. No one will stop me. No one!

With proprietary software, there’s always a chance they’ll pull the rug out from under you.

Their static website hosting is probably the best in the business. We seriously need some competition though.

Long time Raspberry Pi user here, the only software I can’t load natively is Steam. What software are you having problem with on the M1?

There will be some growing pains, but the x86 compatibility layers are getting surprisingly good. Personally, other than Steam, I don’t have any software this is incompatible with ARM.

After enjoying the very local power of Ollama it seems weird to give OpenAI any money.

No, but you can disable Adobe Acrobat Document Cloud services.

Boot to USB drive and load documents from backup. After my shift is over, I restore or replace the bad drive.

If you want to test out Linux, try running a virtual machine instead. There are a few good free software programs to do this. VirtualBox used to be a good option. It’s a free and harmless way to dive into Linux.

Linux Is Only Free if You Don’t Value Your Time

This one is my favorite.

My co-workers SSD failed, and he was out most of the day. My SSD failed, and I was back up and running in about 10 minutes.
