It’s been a month since I started journey with Linux Mint as my daily driver. I enjoy tinkering with things like PulseEffects (trying to create similar sound effects as in Windows). Also tried to customize Conky, but I think I need to learn Lua.
I also found out that my setup without a swap file / partition. I guess it because I use btrfs for the root partition, so the Mint installer replaced swap with some tmpfs folders. I only realized after I got stuck in OOM. 😂😂
Just like me, I also grew up with Windows XP and still playing Master of Orion on Linux today.
As a M$ Windows user for years, I can tell you there’s little to no incentive in Linux development. That’s why M$ Windows is so much better than Linux, they give incentives / rebates to hardware manufacturers if they can sell pre-installed Windows PCs/Laptops. So they are willing to build device drivers to support Windows.
I don’t get it why you have to blame Samba devs? SMB protocol was built by M$. It’s not easy to build something like Samba, at least they need to analyze how the SMB protocol works. If you want a better compatibility for sharing data with SMB you should use M$ Windows.
If you need offline version of the sites you can save them with SingleFileZ
because today’s computer are so incredibly weak they can’t handle a few megabytes of text anymore.
I mean, sites today are more richer compared to earlier 2000s. We have css, more complex js scripts, embedded fonts, embedded videos etc. I’m sure you understand that it takes more than a few megabytes of RAM.

KDE Connect or LocalSend, you can even use tethering from Android without a wireless router.

Just use KDEConnect or LocalSend, it’s not safe to use RDP to share files.
Cisco operates from the ISP side, they’ll poison DNS through their routers. And you should be aware that your ISP will employ Deep Packet Inspection which can also be done with Cisco routers. That means they can intercept internet traffic, especially if your internet connection is not encrypted.
There is de-peering issues that might affect us when accessing mander.

I’ve also noticed this over the past few months, some times I couldn’t access mander or it took a few minutes to load.
There’s another overlooked issues regarding the slow federation. And I just found out a few days ago, there’s de-peering drama since mid February that caused a huge of delays from APAC to Europe.

Around that time until now, I had trouble accessing some sites, like I couldn’t access some github projects, f-droid repos also failed, and also some websites. I’ve tried cloudflare warp, it didn’t help either.
And if I’m not mistaken our admin has a solution to this issue a while ago, you may ask Dave.
Mander is not the only instance having this issue. Other instances like lemmy.nz (it was), reddthat also aussie.zone, monyet.cc have similar issue since months ago. I assume the culprit is cogent’s de-peering drama not from lemmy itself.

And those lemmy instances are hosted in APAC.
Also you can check federation issue with this

Woahh thanks a lot Dave! Very interesting thread, I’ll try on my V14 first maybe also X240 later.
If you don’t have another windows machine then I think it’s a good idea to duel boot Windows initially. I’ve been running Linux as a daily driver the past couple of years but still occasionally do stuff in Windows. It’s pretty rare these days, though!
Yup I was thinking to start familiarize myself with Linux as a daily driver. I still need Windows for some times, because of .xlsx files from work used a lot of formulas and VBA.
Damn, a 40-year-old man is a boomer and he became a minister. This really sucks…
Just bought Lenovo laptop, and thinking to start using Linux as daily OS, dual boot with Windows as I still need Lenovo Vantage.
I mean Taupo lake looks a bit low?
Thank you for the information, yes it is a bit confusing for me, because the article doesn’t explain about low water levels.

I’m curious, can we have something like automation in LibreOffice? I mean like in VBA, where I can pull data and export excel charts.
