Honestly, the preinstalled spyware aside, Edge is a pretty good browser. It’s, like, Chrome but better

I’m curious whether that user name ends with “series” or some variation of “sex temple”

Edit: It was series, I’m relieved yet a little dissappointed

I’m gonna put this out there: If you can do Endeavour or Manjaro, you can do Arch, and Arch is in no way less stable than Tumbleweed. All you need to do is to pick btrfs and enable snapshots and then never use them.

I went from Tumbleweed to Garuda to Endeavour to plain Arch, so either your graph is off or me. Or both.

Some great 3rd party clients on Flathub as well (Webcord, Vesktop…)

My employer was like “you want three 32” monitors?" And I said I wouldn’t know what to do with them, just give me two 27" ones. 1-2 windows for docs and my IDE. That’s enough

You cannot selfhost Signal, because the regular app won’t connect to your server. You could probably bridge it to Matrix I guess? I’m pretty sure it’s a thing, but I see little benefit here, besides your phone not connecting to Signal and your messages being collected in one app, if you so desire.

Yeah, I do everything with string at this point, because it can do pretty much anything I usually need and has a quite uniform syntax, along with good regex support (and dialect imo)

You’re supposed to install fish and forget about at least three of these commands

Have you tried setting up rclone for cloud access and then using restic with -r “rclone:my_aws:path/to/backup”?

For any kind of storage, cloud or not, I think rclone should provide whatever you need for free (not entirely shure about metadata). You will likely want at least one script tho, since the commands can get quite long, depending on configuration.

I don’t know whether this fits your needs better, but “Ente” and “Proton” offer E2E encrypted cloud storage with the option to share parts of it via link or accounts, as well as clients that automatically sync stuff for you (Android only for Ente I think)

There is. EndeavourOS fundamentally is Arch Linux. You could replicate the exact thing by installing Arch, adding the EOS repos for their utilities, and setting it up to be the same.

Manjaro diverges from Arch in that package versions and the time of updates are manually controlled. This means the project is generally not using the same software as an up-to-date Arch system.

Manjaro promises to be more stable like this, however their approach can lead to compatibility issues with AUR packages, which generally assume up-to-date Arch. It also kinda goes against the philosophy of Arch to invest time in extensive system tests. These issues are why many Arch users don’t particularly like Manjaro

He used to be, but he has become surprisingly chill from what I’ve seen. Maybe it’s just coincidence, but I’m under the impression that “no compiler warnings” thing, as well as the introduction of C11 and Rust played a role in that. In all three instances he made an open minded decision, all of them after he realised he was wrong on numbers one and two

I’m sure laptops with only 1 NVMe slot exist, but you can just not buy them

Girl? Do you even Linux?

That’s pretty much it afaik. Owner sold it, new owner didn’t know what to do with it, owner bought it back.

KDE Plasma offers a UI similar to Windows out of the box, I would say that’s a good start. Introduce them to the endless customisation options and they might start to dig it. Maybe take a distro aimed at gaming like Bazzite.

Other good options inlcude OpenSUSE or Linux Mint, the latter with another, but also similar feeling desktop.

Although caution is advised, this is a slippery slope to becoming a programmer.

Any intel on affected, high-profile software?

Afaik most people who seriously want to have a local LLM start of off a pre-trained one from the internet…?
