To add about defaults from what other posters have shown…

I don’t remember if this was there on Debian 12, but at least when you’re on Debian 13 later this year, you can go to “Settings” in Discover and select if you want Debian or Flatpak to be the default source

nvtop, while it sounds like it’s nvidia, is brand agnostic It actually stands for “neat videocard top”

It’ll show per process usage of memory and compute usage on most GPUs

I think you agreed with me?

I said the people who say Linux is so hard are the people that have learned so much about Windows that it’s ingrained in them. So when they try to switch, they get frustrated that it isn’t exactly the same

The vocal people saying it’s harder have a lot of experience with Windows, and know how to work around all of its deficiencies after being a power user dealing with it for 15+ years

With that mindset and not wanting to start over, Windows is easier

For casual users or someone who’s willing to learn, Linux is easier

I wasn’t trying to give a positive side, I was just explaining why Microsoft wants the feature

If the executable binary has to be signed with a key, similar to the module signing key, Microsoft could sign their binaries

This, along with secureboot, would prevent the owner of the machine from running eBPF programs Microsoft doesn’t want you to run, even with root

I agree, but the wording of that is imprecise…

Google reimplemented the same API (which should be legal) but “use” sounds like they called Oracle’s implementation of the function

Oracle tried to argue that writing your own virtual machine with the exact same same interface as theirs (even a clean room reimplementatio, or an improved version) was copyright infringement

If Oracle had won, it would likely have killed things like OpenJDK, WINE, Proton, Rosetta, etc. and would have made licensing around OpenGL/Vulkan very confusing (for a few examples)

The Ubuntu security team only supports the ~2,000 packages in “main”

Things like ffmpeg are in “universe” and only get security updates if you subscribe to Ubuntu Pro

ubuntu.com/security/esm

Debian’s security team has always been significantly more responsive than Ubuntu. It’s regularly had CVE fixes in older versions of Debian that newer versions of Ubuntu don’t bother to pull into universe

512 million seems just specific enough… is that a reference to something, or just a random large number?

FWIW, if you decide to go with KDE and manage to delete your panel, it’s

• right click on the desktop
• enter edit mode
• add panel
• default panel

My job is literally to make Linux distros using Yocto for various boards. I’m constantly writing new build scripts or updating build scripts, debugging the kernel/systemd/glibc and whatever libraries are on the system.

All of my work and personal desktops run some version of Fedora Atomic or a uBlue variant right now.

With distrobox/toybox/brew and using podman/docker/KVM+qemu, even as a tinkerer, it’s great

A safe would make more sense for an encrypted partition or directory

And “the specific resource ID” is almost certainly for localization of the text

Maybe it’s a generational thing, or geographic thing?

My wife was born in a village near Xi’an, and lived there for ~22 years

She isn’t into fengshui, and doesn’t adhere to any major superstitions (I guess other than you have to keep your belly button warm 😂)

SSDs make hibernate even more powerful

That’s why things like suspend-then-hibernate are popular now

If you’re seriously wanting to compile optimized software for those devices, you would want to investigate “cross compiling”

Apple got in trouble because they made the processor in the phone get slower as the battery got older, not for any of these 80% battery optimization things (which they also support now, but it was added after their scandal of slowing the processors down)

They also didn’t inform the user, so there was no way an average user could know they could restore their device’s old performance with a simple battery replacement

git was created because a proprietary VCS was being a dick

I assume that’s how SCP-3008 was created
