Oh and lastly, here is a link to a thread of Linux beginner advice that I think is good. I have a nice response there that is pretty detailed. It's in the Marxist lemmy though. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/735631

Don't use regular Arch if you're struggling. There are some arch-based distros that are more user friendly, though. Like EndeavourOS or ArchMan. Manjaro can be good too but there are legitimate problems with how the project is run.

I was having graphics driver problems in Ubuntu-based distros until I tried Linux Mint.

If you get crashes right before or after login, it's often a (Nvidia) graphics issue. To get around this, you could use nomodeset in the Grub menu to get a successful first boot where you can then install the proprietary drivers.

Look at sections 4 and especially 5 on this page
Also, here is that info in a tutorial format

Also, you may want to set the Desktop Environment to Xorg or X11 (same thing) if Wayland is causing you problems. It's older, but in some cases more efficient and less experimental. Check out the section: Switching desktop environments using a graphical user interface. It should look similar to the pictures. And notice that the "gear" icon may not appear until you select a user or start typing your password.

If your problem is different than this, open a support ticket in the discord or forums of the distro you're using. Linux Mint has a great system for this on Discord.

Yeah, Framework seems like a premium product for sure. I want one but I definitely can't afford it anytime soon. Also worth noting that a new framework mainboard rivals the price of some entire laptops. So while it is definitely upgradable and one of the most repairable laptops in the world, it is still a pricy ecosystem to be in.

This was his first reaction, just as satisfying to read: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/dear-red-hat-are-you-dumb

Here is the original interview: https://newrepublic.com/article/173662/black-history-absolute-necessity-colin-kaepernick-book-interview

The hill is generally a reactionary publication.

If they're that indie, consider paying for it because they need support to exist. Sorry I don't have a real answer.

I don't understand how anybody could see this market consolidation as a positive! Yes, in the short term ABK games will be added to Game Pass, but once Game Pass is the only "game" in town, the price gouging monopolistic behavior will follow.

Is this referencing a historical event? I don't know it.

Machine wash 40 Celsius or below (warm or cold), tumble dry on low, remove promptly. Do not iron or dry clean.

This is from the laundry symbols on my blahaj tags, here's how to read them.

Bandcamp is a godsend. You can even listen to entire albums legally before you buy!

The USSR could still issue currency, pay for public goods, weapons, etc. None of those are unique to capitalism.

I believe she refers to the dam attack.

Greta Thunburg quote tweets: "This ecocide as a continuation of Russias unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine is yet another atrocity which leaves the world lost for words. Our eyes are once again on Russia who must be held accountable for their crimes."

Original tweet: Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine · Jun 6 Russia blew up Ukraine’s Kakhovka dam wrecking havoc on civilians and the environment downstream on the Dnipro river. Russia’s army was squandered in Ukraine, so it chose to employ water as a weapon. However, this will only increase Ukraine's resolve to drive them off our soil.

Well yes, it has been discussed a lot. But also, copyleft and other open source licenses are political in that they prevent capitalist exploitation to a degree.
