Wish I could, my phone manufacturer has the bootloader locked down and I will be using this one until it stops getting security updates. I’ll probably switch to Zenfone 8/9 or a mid budget moto eventually as those tend to be unlockable.

It might be better in the short to medium term but it will be worse in the long term.
And the sequel! Literally just came out today on all platforms + netflix.
They mean any alternative to first past the post, options being STAR voting, approval voting, or ranked choice. Basically anything that means a 3rd party vote isn’t a “wasted” vote.
Absolutely devastated. The shade. 💀
For anybody who was confused like me, this is a Nathan J Robinson parody account, not the actual Current Affairs owner.
The propaganda is people “like” their private insurance and don’t want to be “forced” to get rid of it. There is also an anti-tax streak that has existed since the 1700s (no taxation without representation, Boston tea party, etc) that lives on strongest in reactionary politics.
Edit: Oh and last time we tried to actually improve healthcare they scare mongered the public that there would be “government death panels” who decided whether you would get coverage. As opposed to the current reality where the death panels are real and run by private corporations.
I played the demo. After the amazing trailer they had I thought it would be great, but it’s a mission-based point and click adventure game with some multiverse and role-playing elements and a basic turn based combat system. It didn’t appeal to me that much, but I thought the writing and art style was alright.
Yes, with the caveat that it could overwrite the Grub menu/boot partitions of other Linux installs on the device. I’d disconnect all disks with working Linux partitions and possibly all Windows ones too while installing to USB from a Live USB.
Taken from the linked announcement, it appears not:
The GNU Linux-libre project takes a minimal-changes approach to cleaning up Linux, making no effort to substitute components that need to be removed with functionally equivalent Free ones. Nevertheless, we encourage and support efforts towards doing so.
So basically it’s the user’s or maintainer group’s job to select replacement code/libraries/drivers and how they do that is up to them.
The only workable discreet GPUs with open source drivers that work right now are on Team Red (AMD) edit: and Intel.
There are good people working on Nvidia foss drivers but they have a long way to go.
Oh and lastly, here is a link to a thread of Linux beginner advice that I think is good. I have a nice response there that is pretty detailed. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/735631
Don’t use regular Arch if you’re struggling. There are some arch-based distros that are more user friendly, though. Like EndeavourOS or ArchMan. Manjaro can be good too but there are legitimate problems with how the project is run.
I was having graphics driver problems in Ubuntu-based distros until I tried Linux Mint.
If you get crashes right before or after login, it’s often a (Nvidia) graphics issue. To get around this, you could use nomodeset in the Grub menu to get a successful first boot where you can then install the proprietary drivers.
Look at sections 4 and especially 5 on this page
Also, here is that info in a tutorial format
Also, you may want to set the Desktop Environment to Xorg or X11 (same thing) if Wayland is causing you problems. It’s older, but in some cases more efficient and less experimental. Check out the section: Switching desktop environments using a graphical user interface. It should look similar to the pictures. And notice that the “gear” icon may not appear until you select a user.
If your problem is different than this, open a support ticket in the discord or forums of the distro you’re using. Linux Mint has a great system for this on Discord.
Thank you for putting some actual student-budget options.
Yeah, Framework seems like a premium product for sure. I want one but I definitely can’t afford it anytime soon. Also worth noting that a new framework mainboard rivals the price of some entire laptops. So while it is definitely upgradable and one of the most repairable laptops in the world, it is still a pricy ecosystem to be in.
This was his first reaction, just as satisfying to read: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/dear-red-hat-are-you-dumb
But that’s a live environment that doesn’t save anything you install, right? That’s not what I want.
I can’t even install Nvidia drivers permanently which means I can’t actually “try” it properly. The generic drivers/nomodeset can’t run high refresh rate so I can’t see how laggy it does or does not feel.
Based on what you’re saying, I guess the only way to not remove the old bootloader would be to physically disconnect the other Linux system drive while it installs. Because having to use the USB to load the local system is really really not ideal.
Edit: I learned you can make a live usb with persistent storage which lets you install and update programs. However, there are limitations.
Seasons 1-3 are on the private tracker I use, torrentleech.org
If you’re desperate you could pay for a seedbox membership to get a “free” invite. You must not cancel in the first month or they will ban you afterwards.
Edit: I just did a search on Yandex and found a few promising results. Search for something like “departures torrent travel show”
If they’re that indie, consider paying for it because they need support to exist. Sorry I don’t have a real answer.
Yes, instances are quaking in their boots that lemmy world might *checks notes* block two specific communities. Chilling to would-be pirates everywhere.
The lemmy code is free as in beer and free as in freedom, so you don’t need to give any info to use it yourself.
