  • Approximately 1 in 25 Pixel users run GrapheneOS

    Jump

  • The reason I got GrapheneOS over other alternatives to Android was because I thought it had something like 1% of the overall smartphone market (source: wikipedia).

  • Linux Hardening Guide / Linux is Insecure

    Jump

  • Time to distrohop again. Kubuntu's been irking me for a while and that guide says it's insecure and CachyOS (though I don't like the default software suite) has been nice. Though I need to find an alternative distro (don't trust Red Hat, had a bad experience with OpenSUSE, don't have the patience to learn Arch).

  • Which company has a better reputation Lenovo or ASUS?

    Jump

  • I use a Lenovo Thinkpad T495s, and everything works fine ... except for the fact they put the "fn" key where "ctrl" should be. I'm also not at all a fan of the USB-C charging port.

  • Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous

    Jump

  • Just use Tor or Mullvad browser (you don't need to use the Tor Network or Mullvad VPN, you can bring your own).

    That said the wasted screen real-estate is a dealbreaker for me. So if I'm not gonna log in then I'll go with a fully separate installation.

  • Switch to a Fully free Operating System

    Jump

  • In theory. In practice being free to use, share, modify, and redistribute it makes it in practice "free as in beer". I am aware that projects are technically allowed to charge money for an iso file and the like.

  • Frustrated Windows users are switching to Linux because of Microsoft’s Windows 11 shenanigans

    Jump

  • I could never go back to an immutable distro like Windows. I want to be able to uninstall critical system programs and be able to update without rebooting.

  • Switch to a Fully free Operating System

    Jump

  • My priority in what I use is for it to work out-of-the-box, be secure, and not get in my way. For security reasons I do support the concept of 100% open-source purity (though I'm much softer on or even opposed to the "free" part of FOSS), but I'm not prepared to sacrifice convenience for that cause.

    1. I have a 4-core CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 4GB of VRAM. Nowadays you'll want at least a 6-core CPU, 32GB of RAM, and 8GB of VRAM. What I have works for me though if you're on a budget.
    2. I don't know prebuilts, and I doubt many people here do either.
    3. CachyOS (Arch-based) is good but requires you use the terminal to do a lot of things. Mint (Ubuntu-based) is basically all GUI so it's good but I haven't tried gaming on it and it doesn't yet have Wayland. The most important thing is just to use Steam really, Steam does everything for you.

  • Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: "Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications"

    Jump

  • What other options are there. Businesses aren't gonna use Linux and Windows is quickly becoming an unviable product.

  • You can choose 1 superpower, but the first reply is the side effect. What superpower would you choose?

    Jump

  • Deal. I'm Autistic so that's barely any different.

  • Looking to Switch // Which Distro?

    Jump

  • I'd go Fedora Kinoite if I were them. The OpenSUSE ecosystem is a bit unique.

  • Looking to Switch // Which Distro?

    Jump
    1. KDE is a "DE", not a distro. If you want something customizable though I wouldn't go with an Immutable distro. If you want something safe I'd go with something Fedora-based. If you want something intuitive go with CachyOS.
    2. No idea. You could always live-boot into Linux Mint or something and try.
    3. Using Nvidia makes everything a lot harder. If you have an AMD GPU or even integrated graphics that'll make things much easier.

    4-6. I'm not the guy to answer these questions, mostly because I'm in a hurry.

  • I just wanted to compare FOSS Linux budgeting software

  • At least on YouTube you can tell at a glance that it's AI.

  • An Israeli tech firm has quietly embedded spyware into Samsung smartphones

    Not that quietly it seems.
