Is there a list of certified manufacturers/devices somewhere?

I couldn't find anything on the page for the certification, only steps to contact them.

I don't think Microsoft cares

A few years ago Windows invented a new sleep state, s0ix, instead of the previous s3 state. This makes a laptop behave more like a phone, able to wake up when it receives new data.

Unfortunately this is usually implemented badly and also causing the removal or neglect of previously reliable s3 sleep.

Your root disk is usually mounted at Z: so any ransomware could just encrypt that

Blame Apple for that, as for the longest time they only allowed using the Safari engine on iOS. Apparently that's still the case outside the EU now, meaning Mozilla would need to maintain two versions on iOS.

On any other operating system, Firefox is by far the best at blocking ads with uBlock Origin.

AFAIK the B580 would only be a moderate upgrade for you, the 9060 XT would be the bigger jump, likely worth the extra cost.

As they note in the article, this is a temporary measure, I.E. guaranteed to break soon.

Start switching to Firefox now so you're done when they finally turn it of. Ignore any other Chromium based browsers, it's unlikely they have the manpower to extend MV2 beyond what Google supports with their LTS releases.

One bus, multiple beece?

BTRFS with LUKS (OpenSUSE gets close), but using rEFInd as bootloader. Snapper snapshots, Zram.

I'm actually thinking about switching to systemd-boot with Secure Boot, TPM2 and stuff, so even further from mainstream installers.

There's an option using some very new HTML tag, but it's not the default.

It inherently blocks a lot of the simpler bots by requiring JavaScript as well.

But you're still getting updates every day, just two weeks later than Arch. The "testing" is just two other branches somewhat closer to the Arch package releases.

The Manjaro release style is holding back everything (yes, also critical security updates) for two weeks. How is that better than getting the updates?

None of the usual installers can do what I want unfortunately, so I'm stuck doing it myself.

I use streaming services to check out new albums or new to me artists, but my main playlist lives on my own server.

Do still sign if you can, some signatures might turn out to be invalid and we need a buffer against that.

Awesome! Now let's get the EU one as well, much closer than before now. (840'000)
