That site is likely written by AI, so is no surprise that it makes such stupid mistakes.

In that case, without encryption, your safety is zero. That’s the exact scenario that full-drive encryption was designed for.

Safe in what context ?

If the drive is mounted and data accessible, in case your computer is compromised by some kind of malware, well, the data will be easy to exfiltrate. Now, if the computer is turned off or the drive unmounted, that’s what encryption comes in to protect it.

So, basically, encryption will protect the data in case of physical theft of the drive or in case of remote hacking if the drive is un-mounted.

If India is anything like my country (Brazil), corruption is rampant and enforcement outside business environments is pretty much non-existent, so, no, no one is afraid of piracy for domestic use. We used to have street vendors and booths on strip malls selling all kinds of warez on CD/DVD. The only reason they’re not around anymore is because internet speeds here are already good enough that downloading is easier. And no, no one will cut you connection because of it, our congress already approved laws saying that access to digital communication is a civic right.

It’s clear the original was made before all those sites enshittified into their current forms. That’s why it mentions Vine instead of TikTok, which is notable for having been enshittified from day 1.

To dislodge an incumbent, a product needs to have an enormous advantage, a killer feature that makes the hassle of changing worth it. Up until now, Linux didn’t have it. Well, it did, but Windows had it too, but Microsoft dropped it: lack of ads baked on the OS.

Now that Windows is turning into yet another Ad delivery system, people are looking for an escape. Many are going to Macs, some are coming to Linux.

One thing that was making the boot taking too long on my LXC containers systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, a service that waits for every link to be up. After I figured this, I added that service to the list of stuff I turn off, even on bare-metal installs.

first is to have a second graphics card - it can be an integrated one, like on Ryzen 7xxx or Intel CPUS - or a second computer that can SSH into the gaming box, just in case you need to open a terminal to fix stuff that broke. Then hit the Level1Tech forums, there’s a lot of knowledge there about the stuff.

On the Radeon camp, it’s just “apt dist-upgrade; systemctl reboot”

Done.

The only time I had issues with the open source AMD drivers was when I was doing GPU pass through to play Elite: Dangerous, the drivers really didn’t like the state Windows left the card in when it was time to reattach it to Linux.

You a want a suggestion on how to make the dive easier ? Install Linux on a USB stick.

Any old 32GB USB thumb drive will do. Linux is way smarter in how it handles storage devices, so you can boot it from a USB stick and it will be just as happy as if you installed it on an SSD or HDD. All you have to do is tell the installer to use the stick as the destination when installing. Then you can boot from it whenever you want and try out Steam and Proton.

Heck, you can even take it with you and use it to boot other computers into you own pre-configured Linux.

I believe those “IoT” (I hate this term) devices count as “Other”

Fix bug where configurations could disappear from the configuration browser after deleting a different configuration.

Freaking finally!!!

That was the same in Brazil, where I live. This scared the beejesus out of Microsoft, so they created special, cheaper version for developing countries to counter it.

As long as IBMRedHat publishes links to the upstream projects and send them patches for the modifications they distribute, no. But they don’t have to publish the .spec files for RPM packages if those were created by them and are not part of the upstream, since those are not covered by the project’s license.

I fell that not only the merger should be blocked, but both MS and Actiblizard should be broken in tiny pieces. Same for Google, Facebook, Amazon, Nestle and others. Mega-corporations shouldn’t exist, except on a few, tightly regulated areas.

They fucked around and are finding out. This obsession with growing as fast as possible, going to find a way to make money later, is a cancer on the corporate world and it needs to stop. It hurts the employees and the communities around them, and it’s hurting gaming as well.

How many franchises will be affected, if not completely destroyed by these fuckers incompetence?
