This ☝️. I love Arch and Plasma because they’re made from the community for the community.

Change to Mint.

You will need to install it on your Home network

I know but I believe in not paying a cent for anything (I am poor…

Is EndeavourOS a solid choice?

Anything that’s Arch based is only solid if that’s the way you will drive the system.

Endeavour is way better than Manjaro since it uses the Arch repos, instead of having parallel repos and delaying a week the updates, so is basically Arch with a Gui installer. Still, tough I understand the appeal to install Arch that way, I think that Endeavour may carry with the hand people that are tech illiterated in the Arch world during the installation, and then it simply abandon they in a system where if you don’t know how it works you will definitely break it. The good part of the long and painful Arch installation process is that it teaches the user about the system.

Anyway, since nowadays Arch has a functional easy installer, Endeavour is kind of pointless to me.

Cinestream is a add-on from Dexter to stremio, is analogue to Torrentio, but for http streams. Is a little buggy but sometimes covers what isn’t on Torrentio.

You don’t need to pay for nothing, unless if you’re in US. Stremio+Torrentio+Cinestream will cover Netflix.

Then do fdisk -l to see something funny

At this point it’s just easier to use Mint or another distro.

I have this laptop, but mine has an i7 and an gtx1650. That’s a feature that comes with all NVIDIA drivers (I use the open kernel modules) called NVIDIA Optimus. It already switches between GPUs automatically, read the wiki in how to configure it.

However, there’s a tool called EnvyControl, with it, you can power off the dedicated GPU in boot to save power, instead of simply put it on standby. If you use that, you will need to reboot for turning it on again.

Virgins steam deck’s counterparts always comes with the shittest of all time Windows 11.

Chad Steam Deck comes with Linux!

Sorry I misunderstood.

A subscription to pretty much any streaming service gives you everything now.

You don’t have idea in how wrong you are in that statement. I have over than 100 albums on my library that never came out in streaming music and frequently I hear of something being putting down from them. It’s not true even to USA’s music.

Besides, paying £30 in Spotify where they use audio codecs with lose is just dumb. Deezer has everything it has and costs less than half of this.

I only don’t pirate indie games.

It’s funny to read that because in the global south (where I am) android is just the most used OS in cellphones.

I know there’s a config file for GIMP that make it more like Photoshop, called PhotoGIMP. It’s on GitHub.

I use btrfs because I like it’s features and I would love to see native encryption on it. I would use zfs if it’s license was GPL.

I really liked Windows XP & 7, it was good in the time I was tech illiterated, but I buyed a new laptop and I have to use 10. I didn’t hate it. But then, 11 comes. And was crap That time I was becoming concerned with privacy and decided to switch straight to Arch. Best thing I did in a computer. And I was more convinced when I saw that Windows 12 desktop concept that Microsoft showed, basically crapier MacOS.

I am happy with Arch KDE. The only problems I had until today were caused by my unknowledge. I don’t plan to ever return windows.

If you want just to download it’s more easier to use qobuz or Deezer. Give a look in the music session in the community megathread in how to download from they.

Man I would turn off the activity collect and erase it’s history in myaccount.google.com, besides do the same thing with anything else, like YouTube history. Bad things still show up, but you receive more things related to your subscriptions. When you receive bad things just hit the three points and go to “Don’t recommend this channel” (for me is more effective than “Don’t recommend content like that”).

That’s a very common YouTube complain and have a simple explanation: this alt-right folks are the top adversities on social media. They pay millions to Google to do this.
