Since you did it via manipulation and intent for deception, you show yourself to be a coward, and pretentious at that. You're not someone of principal, but rather too weak intellectually to sway someone by percise and thorough explanation.
Would you agree that what makes Linux laughable as a replacement for consumers is how splitered or fractured it is?
Although up to a certain point I believe the choice of GUI desktops to be a good thing, but I believe the only choices should be Plasma and Mate, with all the customization available for each one, the format for software insallation is what kills it. I never understood why when Linus started it, he never developed a built-in way of handling software installs along with tools for making changes to programs that got install.
Making people learn about which distribution they are using means it's better for them to forever stay on Windows where they can use any program they want without learning anything beyond looking for a Windows file to install.
As Theo de Raadt says, people want to use the software, not study it.
I would guess Linux desktop means nothing until it gets close to 15% for software developers to include a Linux version for new software releases, of any kind or type of software.
I do PC gaming and I only use Windows on that one gaming computer, so I can play any and all games, and have the best graphics hardware performance.
All of my other computers are only a mix of BSD and Linux, but for playing games I'm not willing to use anything other than Windows.
Since you don't know what the issue is, nobody can properly assess it until you take off the cooler, and check how tight it is when you do that, clean off the paste and dry it, put new paste on, put cooler back on with bracket and make sure it's tight in all 4 corners, and then check it from there.
Aurora Store is safe and clean, there's no reason to be concerned about using it.
Although the code for it is good, in order to Aurora Store you must have your own individual Google account. The anonymous account has been rate limited because it was ierating as a shared account for all Aurora users, and Google can't data mine personal info when thousands of people are using one account.
You can install and update all apps that are in the Play Store through Aurora Store, but you must have your own account wirh the password to use Aurora Store.
In my view, I consider Aurora as being dead and gone. It's over, because I am not willing to create a Google account.
I'm genuinelly not sure if it's sarcasm or delusional.
Is fair to say that long term Linux users who are very proficiant in command line know that Linux will never have any relevence on the desktop and that the year of the Linux desktop is a delusional fantasy, it's never going to happen?
At this point it's humourous when there's some new feature in whichever distributon and someone says "Year of the desktop!", it's legitimately comical, if it's said to mock all of that talk
Since you have already taken it apart cleaned off the paste and put new paste on re-assembled with proper tension mount before considering asking your question, how did everything look?
Using a TV is no different than using a monitor's HDMI connection. TV's do not have a DisplayPort connection so you will have to have either a HDMI cable for the 6750 XT or a DisplayPort to HDMI cable to plug PC into TV.
As long as one end of the video cable connection is a male HDMI it will work with TV, assuming no physical damage to any connectors.
Devuan for consistant stability and change to testing branch and you'll never have to install new releases, it will do in-place upgrades while testing branch still being consistantly stable.
That's the goal of OpenBSD, to prioritize security and actively find ways to crack or break OpenBSD in order to consistently harden it to the point that people at DEFCON conferences have given up trying to hack it due to being such a lengthy process each time only to fail.
Always carry extra cash everyday to pay at stores, never have debit/credit card in wallet unless it's to withdraw more cash, never give stores your number or name to buy or reurn something, do not give legitimate info to register for a free store card, never register for a tap pay service on cellphone, buy a pre-paid credit card if you can buy it anonymously with cash, for Americans, use privacy.com for card masking.
If you exclusively use physical cash with change at stores and never give a name, there's no behaviour prediction to get from you or how to advertise to you. Online purchases are not as good for data mining and tracking because there's no geo location like paying with a card at a store that can be used to track your movements and at what time you were there.
Since you did it via manipulation and intent for deception, you show yourself to be a coward, and pretentious at that. You're not someone of principal, but rather too weak intellectually to sway someone by percise and thorough explanation.
