If your main concern is boat, you will likely be fine with any Linux distribution. There are more beginner friendly ones out there.
That said, if you play lots of PC games, even if they’re Linux compatible, switching away from Windows isn’t going to magically double your FPS. Hardware still matters.
Using taxpayer dollars to fight culture wars over chatbots. What a timeline.
I've tried just about every distro over the past decade, and I always come back to Ubuntu. It commands the largest share of the Linux market by a large margin, especially when you consider its derivative distributions like Mint and PopOS. It also has excellent support from hardware vendors, specifically NVIDIA in my case.
Please post back when you get clarification. I would be happy to donate directly toward maintaining this instance.
I started a “songwriting sprint”, and I think I got one or two usable tracks out of it. I’ve also been playing a new Minecraft survival world and reading a book.
Does anyone know the root cause of these frequent outages and if there’s anything we members can do to help out?
Assuming you’re running Linux and don’t need any advanced features, Apostrophe works well. Obsidian is also a great cross-platform option.
Star Labs is a European company that sells laptops and two-in-one tablets with excellent Linux support. They don’t meet all the criteria you listed, but they’re good to mention
I don’t disagree with you, but sending and receiving emails requires transmission of unencrypted metadata. There’s no easy way around it
Proton’s privacy policies state that they retain unencrypted metadata (addresses, timestamps, etc.) which are required to provide the service. This information may be disclosed to law enforcement. However, the actual content in your account is largely end-to-end encrypted. Law enforcement might request it, but without the keys to decrypt it they won’t be able to read your data.
When I was in grad school, I had a Light Phone II as my primary device. It was more than sufficient for texting and calling, and I could even listen to podcasts. It had a GPS, but it was pretty bad. After graduation I moved to a new area and ended up getting an iPhone. I average around 3-5 hours of screen time per day, but that doesn't include my computer (8 hours a day at work as a computer engineer) or TV. Eventually I would like to return to my Light Phone, or even upgrade to the new third-generation model.
What file format are you outputting from HandBrake? Some like MP4 have limited support for subtitle tracks.
What’s more interesting is that fact that macOS is well-optimized enough to run smoothly on a mobile-class chipset. Good software as well as the hardware.
