Because it is quite accurate

I dont know about mtls, but Obsidian with the Self-Hosted Live Sync community plugin has end to end encrypted sync between any device. There are a ton of plugins to make it capable of doing whatever you want. I have it syncing between Windows, Linux, and Android currently.

Indeed. I went on a many hour hunt for alternatives, even trying some wine methods of getting sharex itself working. Ksnip was the next best option, and gifine for gifs/mp4

These days, it is often misused by ignorant people because it sounds derogatory.

FTFY

Flameshot can run a script once it saves a screenshot, so it can effectively be uploaded anywhere. Like zipline for example.

I still prefer ksnip over flameshot though.

I have tried it out a few times in the last couple of years and inevitably run into sites that just won't work with it. Especially at work. I keep hoping it gets better, but it never seems to.

Wasn't aware of that last one, thats not great..

Im not married to brave and would switch if i found something better, but the first two points seem like a non-issue to me tbh. The auto complete is coming from their free search engine. What do you think happens when a service with ongoing costs is free?

As for the second one, I did mention to just turn off all the crypto stuff... The way they do it is fairly common with general donations elsewhere anyway.

I just find brave works well on all my devices, and has a good cross device sync. Nothing else I have tried could match it.

Nah brave is fine. Just disable the crypto stuff like everyone else

Just a couple weeks ago I installed it for a friend and there was a domain join later button

You can also just select the "for work or school" option, then it lets you make a local account because it assumes you will domain join it later, which you dont need to do.

Proxmox is a hypervisor, which is an OS that is built to run Virtual Machines (proxmox also runs containers). It is open source and can be installed for free, just like any other linux distribution, the same way Windows is installed. There are tons of tutorials out there on how to use it.

From there, you could setup some popular containers, including nextcloud, or even install full OS's in virtual machines to install software manually on them. It is a great first step, especially if you have limited access to hardware.

I dont have a DE reccomendation, but for gnome you can use the dash to panel extension for a KDE / Windows like taskbar that will sync pinned items across monitors. The multi monitor sync works pretty well on it.

It would completely eliminate the bios issue, would it not? It would prevent them from ever needing to enter the bios at all.

I've been pretty happy with Kagi (it's a paid search engine, though).

I think we will have to agree to disagree. Figuring out the software store guis is so incredibly easy. Install button installs, search box searches. They are all the same. Dont need to know what an update button is doing, because average people wouldn't even know what is happening while doing it via terminal anyways.

Searching is also 100x times easier in the guis. You dont have a million other packages match your search (ever try apt search chrome?)

Though you are right, I had some bias with the man page bit. Average users wouldn't even know what man is, making it even harder for them. They would have to open a web browser, describe what they want to do somehow, and hope a copy pasted command does what they want.

Thats just not true.. there are many very popular applications that are not in package managers

Sorry, but that doesn't really work. I can expand your terminal answer as much as you did the gui one. You have to open the terminal, use the man page for apt to find out how to search for a packages name, search for a package and hopefully find it, then you need to run another command with that package name to install it.

Meanwhile, I can shorten the gui example to "It take me two seconds to use the search bar and click install"

They all have their ups and downs, guis are just easier and more intuitive for people who don't live and breath terminal commands. Terminals can be extremely confusing for them, having never used one before.

Ehhh, any time I try a new distro I realize after a half dozen apps dont work, that its because its using wayland by default. X11 just works, wayland is a mess.

The 970 unfortunately doesn't have h265 hardware in it. The only gpu in that generation that does is the 960, as it was released later than the others and was one of the first to get h265. I ended up just getting a p400, and it's been rock solid.

There are chat groups with usenet? How does that work? I have only ever seen it used for downloading stuff.
