You mean…Satan?!?

Someone who is technically oriented and persistent; with a desire to get an understanding of the lower structures of the operating system, would be a great candidate for Gentoo. Regardless their familiarity with Linux.

Don’t. Not yet at least, since you’ve picked a distro.

Remember when you first started using Windows? All that new learning?

Remember that this is new learning again. Take your time to understand things, and like another poster said, d don’t blindly copy and paste.

Since you’ve picked Mint, utilize their community as there may be “Mint specific” solutions to many problems.

Good hunting!

If I could give only one reason to use Gentoo, it would be the community.

Anyway, if you choose this route, read the handbook through like a book first. Get an idea what you want your endpoint to be, then start.

Touch grass.

You tried flightgear yet? While not as pretty as MS, the physics, the controls, the thought…

It’s a great sim, and Linux native.

And Windows isn’t telling them. That’s part of the issue. If Cortana could tell them “this boot was slow because your video driver missed an update necessary for other system packages. Would you like me to show you how to fix that now?” that would be a win for your typical user.

I don’t believe this is a new concept. IIRC, the same claim was made around 20 years ago.

I suspect these things go through cycles like everything else.

We should definitely be paying attention when the developers of critical infrastructure begin to burn out.

Tell Bruce I said “hey”.

I need to make a minor correction:

While the protocol is technically open source, self hosting a signal requires recompiling the client to connect to the host.

It’s not federated.

Signal protocol is not open. Should be removed from your list if you can’t adjust.

You’re right, but it’s more nuanced than that.

The EU is like a Hydra. Some heads are consumer facing, others are population control facing.

Success would mean distracting the control heads while wooing the population heads.

No easy task.

My nextcloud calendar doesn’t seem to have a category color, only color per sync account. I’ll look to see if there’s a plug-in, as I’m somewhat interested as well.

I would bet there’s also a bug report somewhere with such a request.

I won’t be able to test iOS easily (the rest of the family have them, but they don’t release them easily).

Are you talking about the situation in Catalan?

The way I’m reading it is more like: “many criminals are using graphene” rather than “graphene users are criminals”.

It’s a small step from one to the other, I’ll admit.

Well that’s neat!

Did I actually see hex code of a zoomed in binary?

Android has a cups client app, so you can use that instead of Google’s printing service.

It’s on f-droid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Handset_Alliance

Google doesn’t “own” Android. They (and the OHA) are the maintainers. AOSP is open source.

Are you certain you’ll be able to do this? Do you have more info?

What happened to the Open Handset Alliance?

Just FYI, when you ask these kinds of questions, provide your region, and ask for that if others.

Here in southern California things are working as expected.
