A big benefit of encryption is that if your stuff is stolen, it adds a lot of time for you to change passwords and invalidate any signed in accounts, email credentials, login sessions, etc.

This is true even if a sophisticated person steals the computer. If you leave it wide open then they can go right in and copy your cookies, logins, and passwords way faster. But if it’s encrypted, they need to plug your drive into their system and try to crack your stuff, which takes decent time to set up. And the cracking itself, even if it takes only hours, would be even more time you can use to secure your online accounts.

On Linux, my installs always had a checkbox plus a password form for the encryption.

If distro hopping happens more than once a week, please stop hopping immediately and dial 911 as this is the sign of a very rare and serious symptom

You’re right. I can’t recall the other utility’s name. System Monitor is fantastic, but I just wish I could set the niceness and all that like you could on the old utility.

Well KDE had this awesome process management tool, I think it was called System Monitor or something. You could tune process priorities with IO and CPU. They deprecated the tool though, I think because nobody wanted to port it to QT6

EDIT: It’s not System Monitor. I can’t recall the name, but there used to be an app that let you set niceness / priorities of your processes.

I tried the one on the play store

Should be plenty fast enough to handle Gnome or KDE. I think you’ll also want ZRAM because presumably your RAM won’t be much and your storage will either be slow or limited. Either way, it wouldn’t hurt to enable.

I think both DEs are very touchscreen viable, with the possibility that you may have to configure a teeny bit, like adding a virtual keyboard

God I want call screening like Google has it. If I don’t have the number in my history or contacts, just quietly screen the call, hang up if it’s a scam and buzz me if they reply and are not obviously a scam.

This is what Pixel phones can do. Samsung has the screening thing but it’s manual and it’s not nearly as good

Well, in tech, if you have experience, that tends to be the biggest deal by far and can often do all the lifting on its own. But hiring managers also appreciate certs and formal education, especially if you don’t yet have much experience.

It would likely give you an advantage Vs some other person they’re considering with your level of experience.

It seems like common cynicism. Mozilla adds this feature, as not to yield major features to other browsers. Mozilla’s lets you natively have lots of different AI solutions to pick from.

Not every feature is for everyone. Not every feature is done being improved on at release.

And in spite of popular opinions, organizations don’t do just one thing and then do just the next thing and the thing after that. Organizations can and do focus on and prioritize many things at the same time.

And for people who are naysaying AI at every mention, it has a lot of great and fascinating uses, and if you think otherwise, you really should try them more. I’ve used it plenty for work and life. It’s not going away, might as well do some nice things with it.

Yeah they could have a full bar with it being two-tierred

Irregardless and inflammable add two unnecessary letters and one unnecessary syllable. Society cannot afford this gargantuan waste!!

Sad spyware and adware noises

Oh, Grant Cardone? The fake-billionaire scientologist grifter who got his ass handed to him by T Mobile’s CEO? The one whose inner circle reeks of fraud?

THAT Grant Cardone?

Wanna listen to that grifter get called out and embarrassed? (Video includes background info on who Grant Cardone is) https://www.youtube.com/live/L6qWUtTHhU8?si=cWgXvHDyYFaXJiSX

Is that not what KDE Discover and Gnome Software Center do? Or is this a new one for Gnome?

I love this animation style so much haha

I’ve had a lot of experience with Linux and I use Nobara currently. My only catch with Bazzite is that I didn’t know the first thing to do. It somehow felt as if most of my experience in Linux was just useless.

Not saying it’s a bad thing, I just decided I’d stick to Nobara for now and try learning Bazzite in the future to give it a fair shake.

I’m also a tweaker. I like to play with ZRam and add other things to the OS, like a custom kernel with BCacheFS-Git to support my gaming darastores. I suspect some of my creature comforts may be harder to get.

She additionally lacked remorse. She was feeling sorry for herself and how this conviction would adversely affect her own modeling career.

I think 18 months was very little all things considered.

Using swap isn’t always a sign you need more RAM. Typically, if you use a computer for a while or have a lot of IO operations going on, Linux will decide to swap some things to make more room for cache.

Sometimes Linux just finds that you have a bunch of inactive app memory and it can swap that out to cache way more stuff. That’s just good memory management, but it’s not worth buying more RAM over

What is a cache file?
