I actually use adblock.dns.mullvad.net, I just recommend adguard for beginners as it seems more stable (though I’ve not had a stability issue with mullvad for years)
You can also just set your private DNS to something like dns.adguard.com
and block almost all ads in every app, no installs required
I’ve got a different model but as others have said the linux-surface kernel is key, and their GitHub page has detailed compatibility info and installation instructions. I picked Fedora having never used it before because it was well-supported and I’ve got no complaints.
More critical than distro is desktop environment. A few people were recommending Gnome but they must be a bit out of date now as I didn’t have a great experience; incompatible extensions, missing gestures, and generally a worse feel than Windows! I’ve just installed KDE Plasma Mobile and it’s great, feels more like Android and has way more features.
The linux-surface installation instructions will walk you through this, but I’d just download the Fedora Plasma Mobile spin, put it on a USB drive, boot it to check you like it (though expect that a few things might not work properly until you install the linux-surface kernel), install it (you can dual-boot with Windows if you think you might need it or just replace the whole OS if you’re concerned about space), and then install the kernel.
Happy to try and answer any more questions about installing!
My timeline is full of reactive hot takes and gotchas by people who still seem to think they can quote-dunk their way out of fascism—or who know they can’t, but simply can’t resist taking the bait
Whatever happened to “don’t feed the trolls”, eh?
This is such a small thing but it infuriates me every time I have to use Microsoft’s stupid “docs” site. Great QoL feature if it works!
AI has become a meaningless buzzword you can apply to anything, so no
What’s with the image?
TL;DR:
- Using AI to ask your TV questions
- Spatial 3D sound
- Integrate your calendar with your TV
- AI Energy Mode
- AI picture upscaling
Not just a pointless “AI bad” article, actually some decent (though very brief) points
Good to see Space Cadet Pinball still there!
I remember playing “Pandemic” as a flash game (or similar) many years ago. Plague Inc seemed to basically be the same game, and I think Pandemic the board game is completely unrelated. Not very helpful for your actual question, but I think it explains the search results.
Any running Linux, see !linuxphones@lemmy.ca / !linuxphones@lemmy.ml for more
I don’t run any servers and leccy is expensive, they go off when I’m done using them!
Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on the projects and maybe switch at some point
Is it stable enough to recommend for non-techy users? Set-and-forget sounds ideal for someone who doesn’t understand (and doesn’t really need to understand) all the updates their machine is doing.
Isn’t bazzite fedora-based? Meaning you use dnf
instead of apt
or pacman
.
How do you have rclone set up? I thought I had it working but it’s turned out to be way more complex than I initially thought!
Ooh does Futo have it’s own FOSS swipe-typing implementation?
