Yeah since it was the Dems that aren’t at the center of the whole thing masterminded by Obama and his tan suit, everything is fine to them. Justifiable even.

“We would love to delete your data for you. In order to do that, you need to provide us even more data than we originally asked for during account creation.”

Guess all transfer of digital medical data between hospitals is a hostile action.

You are not the only one. My monitor is hit or miss on if it will comeback with waking up from a long stent in sleep mode. I’m on Bazzite myself and I got an LG 4k 144hz ultra wide monitor with a nvidia 3060. It even would happen on Win 11 too. It actually happens less on Linux than Win 11. I’m connected via display port and I’ve heard that’s actually where the issue lies or possibly the make of the monitor but I don’t really want to use hdmi. I just deal with it because it’s not every time. I either shut the computer down when I’m done with it or will be away from it for a while or do a hard reboot when it happens. I’ve tried turning the monitor off and on again when it happens or reseating the cable connection on the monitor side when it happens with middling results. I’ve also tried to make sure all my software, drivers, and firmware are up to date as well as ruling out the cable. I’m at a loss short of trying a different GPU or monitor, which I can’t afford to do.

They put the SS in FOSS

But the damage is done and will be done for a long time to come. We have the same benefits that always existed from treaties between the two nations, but now with a needlessly difficult and contentious diplomatic relationship. Such a monumentally stupid thing adding to the ever growing list of monumentally stupid things the US is doing.

And this is something I’ve been thinking about too. While I dislike the idea of giving money to Google, it might be something I have to just make my peace with as a one time purchase for the next few years (I’m not the kind of user that has to have the newest device when it comes out). I dislike phablets too, so I always try to avoid them. I also didn’t consider PC hardware issues like ram availability and such affecting the prices of phones until now, so good of you to bring it up. I’ll think about it.

I’m waiting for a phone to meet Graphene’s requirements that isn’t made by Google. Then I’ll switch. Hope it happens sooner rather than later.

Dingdong. Sorry. I had to.

You got most of the direct questions answered so this is just my 2 cents: I strongly recommend you do a back up of your important files on a separate physical medium first as iCloud is going to be a bit of a barrier on Linux. Then lengthen your timeline of getting away from Mac purely to facilitate learning. Look into something like Ubuntu (Fedora and OpenSUSE aren’t the best choice for beginners) as your starting distro to learn about Linux while keeping Mac around in some capacity to do the things you haven’t migrated over yet. Elementary OS might be an option to look at for that Mac feel but it’s purely surface level.

Then phase out Mac overtime as you become more comfortable with how Linux works with what your use case is. Eventually you’ll determine what might be an even better distro for your use case and may switch into something that serves you better. You won’t find a perfect 1 to 1 alternative that will meet all your needs exactly as you want them met out of the box. So a period of learning is recommended to figure out how you’d like things to work and how to go about it.

“We’re in”

Felt like reading a bad Mr. Robot fanfic episode.

I’d like to target this buzz at developers and companies so they start supporting Linux natively more.
