Wow. I might have the same model. What distro are you running?

I’m running Ubuntu Budgie Jellyfish. My biggest gripes are battery life and notifications (only low battery warning I get is the screen flickering 1 min before it dies at around 5% power), video (maybe once a month the screen will go black and I can’t do anything but hard reset), and Wi-Fi (5G connection is much more likely to drop than 2.4G if I’m between APs). Might be a bit of a lemon since I had to get the mobo replaced in like the first 2 weeks.

My Dell XPS is my most hated computer. 90% stable with Ubuntu but that 10% really stings.

Interesting project. Thanks for the share. Just saying Ansible is a more “general purpose” tool, almost a programming language, to configure most anything, not just desktop environments.

Not that it would eliminate every shell command but you should learn Ansible. This is what’s it’s built for.

Don’t know but copyright holders have demonstrated a few cases where they got AI to blatantly rip off copyrighted pictures or music.

I’m highly considering this as a daily driver. Docs need a bit more organization and not sure how big the community is but it checks a lot of boxes for me.

Usually it doesn’t solve my problems but it gives me a few places to start looking. I know some models are capable of this but to get a perfectly accurate and useful response would probably require it to recall a specific piece of input it was given and not just an “average” of the inputs.

I’d agree with this recommendation. I believe there were multiple occasions where my router assigned a dynamic IP the same as some other reserved IP. Hard as hell to diagnose. Key indicator was that roughly half the packets were being lost.

What’s your Win 11 use case? If you don’t need native performance I’d recommend Linux and BTRFS for everything and run Win11 off a VM. Dual booting is fine but I’ve personally struggled with allotting the appropriate space for each partition.

If this is legal then it’s a giant gaping loophole in the system. Not just because it’s easy to harass someone but because it sounds incredibly easy for a cop to call in an “anonymous tip” on someone they suspected of wrongdoing but had no evidence to support it. I’m almost positive the Supreme Court has even held that evidence that was gathered in the course of raiding the wrong building is legal as it’s an “honest mistake”.

Appreciate the link but this doesn’t make me feel much better. Seems like their license and terms of use is basically, “Ask and we’ll tell you if you can do that.” Not very transparent.

Kebab. Not my favorite visually speaking but I had RSI issues for a while and I’m still very focused on limiting keystrokes (no shift key needed with kebab).

I guess I could just try a minimal install (uncheck every box) and see how it goes.

Don’t remember the specifics but I had a key combo setup to force a soft reset in my DE. Occasionally a kernel or driver update would fuck up my video and make the system unusable but still live. I try to avoid hard resets.

Don’t remember the tool, maybe someone here does, but there’s some web service out there that boasts a “no storage” approach. You provide some URI and some other value (maybe username) and it makes a password for you, but it’s always the same for a given combination. Basically it’s a purely functional generator.

Downside would be forgetting a minor detail (Did it end with a slash or not? What was the username?) or the site going down. You can achieve the same thing yourself with a hash calculator but those passwords are a bitch to type in.

tl;dr just use KeePass

Never tried Authelia or Authentik but I’ve heard good things about them. I’m sure one of them will integrate with a reverse proxy.

They don’t necessarily need to run everything by me (or us, the community) but this context would’ve lessened my rage greatly.

Could’ve been something Fedora-ish but based on the GitHub I don’t think that’s it. The most distinct thing I remember is that it appeared abandoned but the author just didn’t feel it needed any changes.

I use like four different devices to browse and some have multiple browsers so checking history has been rough.

Interesting but not what I was thinking of. I think in the GitHub also the author gave a specific example of an OS layered with the Steam client.
