Ah yeah I suppose that's true

Also, even on laptops/desktops this might not always be possible depending on the bios configuration. Corporate devices for example might have the bios and booting from untrusted media locked down.

I thought the way fingerprinting works is to try to get a bunch of semi-personal information, which together can identify a single person?

Like there's plenty of people using a 1920x1080p display. Doesn't stop companies from using that as part of their fingerprinting.

Sure, your entire town might share an IP. That just means you've narrowed your search field from the entire world to one town.

wait what does bitbucket have to do with nazis?

It does work wirelessly, but I'm not sure if it's also stable long-term since I mostly use it wired.

I'm pretty sure KDE's window manager, kwin, can do all of those things through kwin scripts and window rules, except the pager doesn't show the details of windows on other desktops, just the outline.

I have a magic trackpad 2 (maybe 3, not sure) and haven't noticed any lagging issues. I mainly use it wired, but the times I did use it wirelessly I didn't notice any lag either.

Unfortunately I didn't have gestures ootb, though that could be a KDE plasma thing, since they have touchpad gestures like two finger scroll and tap to click disabled by default as well.

Setting up gestures using touchegg was easy enough though.

Tidal's base subscription costs the same as spotify, but to get lossless you have to pay more. Where I live it's 20 euros / month for lossless.

This is more of a workaround than a fix, but you can change the default USB configuration in the developer settings.

Nvm I just found out 7digital was bought by the same company, ffs

The only alternative I know is 7digital. Their Dutch store doesn't always have the latest albums, but they do offer some in a higher quality than Bandcamp (not like I can tell the difference though)

Yeah that's what I would've assumed too, if they didn't say they use Firefox as main and waterfox as secondary,since they're essentially the same browser

Why would you need a second browser?

Yup, that's my coworkers as well. Constantly complaining about how shit windows is, already developing in docker on wsl anyway, but they never want to switch to anything that would solve all their complaints.

Not trying to defend windows or anything, but

Fast boot/reboot times (less than 10 minutes)

What? In my experience, nowadays Linux is probably still a bit faster than windows in boot times, but that's comparing 20 seconds to like 30 seconds. Nowhere near 10 minutes.

How did you deal with scaling with 2 different resolutions on X? I never managed to get it working quite properly, the closest I got was running some xrandr scale commands on login.

The other sections are different actions that appear in the context menu of the steam desktop icon, so that you can launch steam straight into big picture for example. If you just launch steam, just the [Desktop Entry] section will execute.

While in my experience the answer you replied to works, to get the same behavior as what you got in the terminal, you should edit the exec line to something like steam --forcedesktopscaling=2 %u.

If you use the separate actions, you should edit it there as well, but those won't have any effect on just launching steam.

Yeah that's why I don't use discover to do the actual updating. I just manually run my flatpak updates when discover tells me there are some.

This is why I really like KDE Plasma's discover. It's got integrations with apt, snap, Flatpack, and rpm, and that's only the ones I've tried so far.

I don't really use discover itself to manage my packages, cause for some reason I prefer to do it with the cli tools, but it is a great update notifier.
