That's how you get a Boing

One thing to make your girlfriend's transition easier: you can reconfigure the UI to be more similar to more recent versions of MS office. The first time you open it, there will be a popup that brings you directly to the relevant settings menu. It's not one to one but the major options are going to be in similar places after you changed the UI.

Replacement with a different stability.

As the famous quote from Spider-Man goes: "with great power comes great responsibility." Past WW2 the US acted as hegemon. They where the most powerful country and tried to use this responsibility on the global stage - at least to an extent. NATO, free access to US markets for other countries (though that also benefitted the US because it cemented the USD as reserve currency)

Now the government wants to keep the power but have none of the responsibility. It's similar to their position on free speech.

To put it an other way: They want to be a bully.

Bazzite:

• Fedora based, so newer libraries
• Atomic updates, therefore doesn't break on updates
• Steam and Lutris are preinstalled

Thank you, I've added it to my post

I hate to be the one to break it to you but AIs aren't actually people. Companies claiming that they are "this close to AGI" doesn't make it true.

The human brain is an exception to copyright law. Outsourcing your thinking to a machine that doesn't actually think makes this something different and therefore should be treated differently.

Since you are already familiar with the Steam Deck, I would go with a distro (that's Linux-speak for version) that uses KDE Plasma, as that's the desktop environment used by Steam OS. My recommendation therefore is Bazzite or Aurora. Both OSs are developed by the same team using the same core technology. Bazzite is more "gamer focused" (a.k.a. they are pre-installing steam) while Aurora targets more of a developer audience. But I would argue that the differences are, at the end of the day, mainly cosmetic. Aurora is still pretty noob friendly and you could still develop on Bazzite.

Both systems are "Atomic" which basically means that a system update can't screw up your system. And if you screw something up, then you can "rebase" the system which reinstalls the OS but keeps all your data and installed apps*. It uses flatpak with flathub as its appstore so you have the same apps available as on the Steam Deck.

Now for the downsides: Some apps are a bit harder to install. Mainly apps that need deeper system access such as vpn apps can take a couple more steps to install here than on other distros. There is also no live system. Many distros have a "live mode" where you can test the system before installing. This allows you to check if your hardware is supported. Aurora and bazzite don't have that.

Lastly the userbase is growing, but other disros such as Mint are still more popular. You therefore might find less specific documentation and tutorials on the internet for it than with other options.

*Technically it's more complicated than that, there are edgecases of apps that don't survive a rebase, but don't worry about that.

You made this Post twice, which ironically makes this eersion Musk spam

GNOME has too. There it's called nightlight

Budgie might ship with an applet, that enables the functionality as well (not sure, it's been a while, since I last used this DE)

Wouldn't be the first time a conductor was multi track drifting on Londons public transport system.

No Plasma Mobile is not just a mobile mode for Plasma, but it's own thing(even if it shares a lot of tech with Plasma). You therefore need to choose a distro that explicitly supports it.

Here is a list: https://plasma-mobile.org/get/

The closest you are going to get to Mint is Debian

For marketplace there is a project in development. It's called Flohmarkt. Not quite ready yet for primetime but worth keeping an eye on

You could ask the folks at @c3voc@chaos.social

If anyone has the complete talk it would be them.

This article is still about the recent Welt op-ed. Just so nobody gets the impression, that Elon did something else yesterday.

Not that any of this excuses the opinions he shared with the world already.

tl,dr: it's a Pixelfed instance by and for native people in Latin America

Looks to me like you are trying to update via fwupd. While this should work via GNOME Software, you can also use the the terminal to do this.

The command is fwupdmgr update

Mobian has an amd64 image available. If you are looking for a "tablet" tablet experience rather than just desktop gnome with an on screen keyboard then that is going to be your best bet.

In terms of DE I would stay with GTK enviroments because GNOME circle has created a pretty extensive environment of apps that feel native there. Both PHOSH and GNOME mobile offer basically the sane experience so you should try them both and see, which you like more in the details

Edit: here is the install guide: https://wiki.debian.org/Mobian/x86

If you're on Android then you can use Termux (via F-droid) to get ssh capabilities. I think there is also a different iOS app, but I'm no expert on that OS, so I can't tell you its name. If you have a smart phone then you might have a ssh capable system after all

It's actually not. It's open core (a.k.a. 80% open source with its AGPL licenced community edition and proprietary with the enterprise edition that adds a bunch of stuff on top)
