Your gf has a really cool website. I love how the images open in a little window as if it were a desktop.

Where are you finding hardware acceleration to be bad?

Got me good

I’m pretty sure tuxedo support should be able to cover this for you. Its one of the bonuses of buying a Linux laptop.

This is really good for the average gamer trying out linux. I’ve seen so many “I switched to linux” videos where the person is unable to screenshare.

If someone exploits a service on the machine they can then connect outside that machine on any port. Ufw would prevent this. The router firewall would also likely prevent this unless they used an open port of the router or upnp was enabled.

Disclaimer, I’m not a network professional im only learning. But you dont need ufw since your router firewall should be able to filter majority of the traffic. But in security there is a concept of layers. You want your router firewall then your device firewall to provide multiple layers incase something slips through one layer.

So to give a simple answer, it depends how secure you want your network to be. Personally I think UFW is easy so you may as well set it up. 5sec of config might stop a hacker traversing your network hoping from device to device.

I have two docks. With one of the docks I experience sound coming through the stream deck and no signal. With the other that doesnt happen. So far ive had zero issues with the 2nd dock.

Basically nixOS but useful.

Ah Chroot bro

Gimp doesn’t have a marketing problem. Its well known its just that not many people like it. It is not a nice program to use. I think gimp3 fixes a lot of the janky ui but I’ll have to try it out again

Jill is such an awesome person and content creator.

Why wouldn’t it? Wayland does a lot more. I haven’t done any testing but on vibes x11 feels more responsive on my old system

I’m so excited for Wayland xfce but my laptop is really old and probably cant run Wayland as well as x11.

ive been using linux for about 4 years now and I still have no idea where the things are kept. Im getting the feel for it slowly like everything flatpak is in a hidden folder .var my solution is to just make a simlink to folders I want to vist and put them in my home folder.

oh the times ive seen people at my work try an sell soemthing to an angry customer. It always fails and results in the customer being pissed off and insulted. It should be obvious that if someone is paying you to solve a problem and your software is not working and causing them to complain they are not in the mood to buy another thing to solve the problem they are already paying you to solve.

Recall?

Windows is so annoying like why does it always display word, excel etc when I don’t own it. These are paid programs that I do not own they should not be coming up in search results when I’m looking for a word processor.
