Honestly I like Windows 11 better than Windows 10. I mean I don't like or use either one, but if I had to I'd go with 11 (with debloat script, Powertoys, WSL2 and blocking telemetry with DNS as much as possible)

This is subjective of course but I prefer both the visual and sound theme of Win11 (I despised Win10 in both regards). Plus it has some additional nice qol features like, I think, tabs in explorer?

You can get Steam on just about any distro, for years at this point. And there's always Flatpak for these cases too although for Steam I recommend native packages.

You're not wrong, it's definitely not something a n00b should attempt in most cases. But I've done this before to save myself the need for distrobox. A lot of proprietary software only offers .deb, but is usually either statically linked or comes with its own set of nearly all the libraries it needs. So just extracting and running it often does the trick on non-debian distros like Fedora in my case.

Seriously though, just use distrobox or see if there's an unofficial package for your distro that you trust (AUR/copr/ppa/OBS). It's more straight forward especially if you don't know what you're doing.

German Grammar Fun Fact 3: "Sie" is also "she" and "they" in addition to the formal "you". Which also means that it can't work like the gender neutral singular "they" in english.

*Hope we don't sturgeon you too much

I'm not aware of another one. Some other distros like Ubuntu and OpenSUSE ship AppArmor instead, which does similar things but isn't considered quite as secure.

I know plenty of other popular distros don't ship any Mandatory Access Control system at all which seems like a very bad security practice to me. Same thing with Firewalls.

Facebook and Instagram, sure. But plenty of people are more or less forced to keep WhatsApp either because of people they want to be able to message that refuse to use anything else, or perhaps even because they need to be in some WhatsApp groups e. g. for work.

Communication platforms aren't like web browsers or operating systems where you can switch at will to whatever else works for you, you're more or less reliant on everyone you know also making the switch.

That'll work but distrobox is a much simpler solution

Also great when you get some software as a deb for old Ubuntu and don't want the trouble of manually making it work on a new system. Just make an old Ubuntu distrobox.

I use fish which is quite nice OOTB, although if you want a posix compliant shell, zsh with some plugins is also great.

I don't think that would work since both GPUs are AMD and use the same driver

Use a shell with decent auto-completion. I have not been irritated by this in years.

One thing you could do is plugging your monitor straight into the iGPU outputs and using DRI_PRIME only for applications that need the powerful dGPU.

Unless you want to run either everything or nothing on a specific GPU, I don't think there's a more convenient way than setting DRI_PRIME per application.

That's why I specified Red Book Audio (the actual CD Audio standard). Most people I know haven't upgraded their CD Player since the 90s, and by the time MP3 got popular, people weren't using CDs to listen to them.

Lies, you can't fit 12 hours of Audio on a CD (at least not Red Book Audio)!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure I'd call the whole show transphobic, however I only remember two or three times they mentioned transgender people on the show and it was always in a bad context.

One time Sheldon and Leonard were discussing how Penny was an improvement in almost every way over the previous tenant next door who was a tall muscular black transsexual (that's the word they used). Another time Howard told a story where he hooked up with someone only to find out that they were a pre-op transsexual, which got him an "Oooohh" of pity from the audience/laugh track.

I thought that was Rust's job! Rust can only be mastered by trans women and femboys.

I wonder why they use A/B root in the first place instead of a single BTRFS partition with Subvolumes and snapshots

You listed AMDGPU-Pro as a kernel driver. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm quite sure it is a proprietary userspace OpenGL/Vulkan driver that uses the open source AMDGPU kernel driver.

Try using XWayland video bridge. It should allow any XWayland apps to use screen sharing. Unfortunately most distros either don't ship it yet or ship broken versions but you can download nightly Flatpaks from Gitlab CI
