You mean the feature set in the grub config? Their guide on setting up your system to get all the features is quite easy to do and linked on their git lab page

He means that his laptop has a dedicated GPU from AMD and his CPU with iGPU is also made by AMD

Bro snap has infos like that as well

Thank you for the hint, but disabling the unneeded user just caused the welcome screen to show up again. I just reinstalled it now.

Use the default mesa drivers and use corectrl. Depending on the version of mint you’re using, you might need to install the appropriate ppas (just google them, you’ll find them)

The number of IPs hitting their software repos can be a decent way of estimating active users. Also, ISO downloads and so on.

Wayland on AMD is amazing

Powershell as admin then type set-service wuauserv -startuptype manual; stop-service wuauserv

This will disable the windows update service. If you do want to run updates again (and you should do that regularly), just type start-service wuauserv and use the windows update page in settings.

Linux is still way better though.

Use nala instead of apt, it’s mostly a different frontend that looks way nicer, but also has vast improvements such as simultaneous downloads and a controllable history

You could create systemd services to control wine for each app you want to run, that way you can use systemd’s sandboxing.

They do fit, but you can only put half as many normal sized bits in there. I’m fine with that personally, making the whole thing bigger would negatively affect ergonomics.

Hard disagree. Their GNOME implementation is great, the distro is stable and snaps are fine. It’s just not quite as libre as some people want.

Use LibreWolf. I’ve switched to it from Brave because it’s counted as firefox market share but it gets rid of all the non-browser features (Pocket, Telemetry, etc.) and enables some interesting flags in the config (ResistFingerprinting for example).

I don’t really care if someone fights in both directions if their points are valid. Misgendering or not, mozilla has had some troubling developments internally and it’s good people shed light on it.

you can just move to chromium though, getting chrome performance without google spyware

Thank you to AMD for still requiring neither an account nor collecting data. Crash reports don’t count.

he means that wine does not play games well if they’re loaded off of an ntfs drive. which is true. he could just backup his data, reformat to ext4 and restore his data though.

Honestly, I’m not surprised. Linux on the desktop (or laptop!) has gotten so damn good that going back to windows feels like an absolute chore everytime I need to do so for work.

they will show you their own ads through operating system notifications, but without collecting your personal data to do so. the program is also entirely opt-in and is thus disabled by default, so the user has to knowingly and willingly enable it.

it is and has great compatibility with office formats, such as password protected excel spreadsheets.
