If you want to break out of this and find something new without too much of a learning curve you could try Illogical Impulse

It’s hyprland, modded and more avvessible.

No one needs to shit on Friends, it’s already shit.

If you want to repair your computer, look at the specs of RAM first. If it’s LPDDR then you know it’s not gonna be repairable because it would be soldered. If it’s DDR the computer might be good to repair and upgrade.

Laptop tends to be harder to repair in general. Those who can be repaired tend to be costly.

If you want to know if it can be repaired and to what extent, connect to a VPN in France and browse the models. They are required by law to display a repairability index so you know how much of your laptop can be replaced and how easily. The higher the number, the better.

My recommendation would be to buy a Dell or a Thinkpad. Those things perform well and tend to last longer, even when they tend to be costly when new. MSI is a shitshow, don’t fall for their laptop scam.

If you want to limit or stop the wiretapping go for a Linux distro (Zorin for anything or Nobara for gaming) rather than Windows.

Browsing history, Downloads folder, cache, etc. That’s good to have encrypted.

No it just works as long as you install the drivers…

And again we’re talking about the EU, not a fascist country in the British Isles.

And resistance. Pottery tends to break easily, organic material is more resistant to most types of mechanical stress.

You have had many answers, all of them revolving around Debian / Ubuntu. Yet it doesn’t give the “like-windows” esperience. It’s More like “slightly windows-flavored Linux”.

For a more Windows-like Linux, which helped me transition easily because I retained muscle memory, is Zorin OS.

Syncthing has been discontinued on android (but a fork exists)

You should be able to do it. I dual booted nobara / arch / windows in the beginning

None ! That’s the greatest thing. Take the time to read the welcome message (you know that window that come when you first boot any distro) and follow any instruction. It should work out of the box.

Okay, I had the same problem with a 3060 laptop. The easy answer is : your next distro should be Nobara.

These errors happen because your computer does not use your Nvidia GPU but the AMD one. There is no hardware acceleration.

In Nobara, everything comes preinstalled and preconfigured. I didn’t have those problems anymore.

(If you fancy masochism, you can also go the Arch or NixOS way)

In the case of NixOS, the question would then be : “How much pain in the ass is it to install NixOS, really ?”

I think that I agree with Lina on this one. This article heavily sides with Danilo and her initial message is clear enough : she asks to remain primary author. It should have ended there with Danilo saying “ok no prob, here it is corrected” and it would have ended there.

Doctor said, Son, you got Reggaemylitis

It’s true, it also doesn’t block images that have these words, but you filter more than 90% of the posts that you wouldn’t want to see.

I have a filter on, I block the words “Elon”, “Kamala” and “Trump”. Furthermore I block politics community. It’s not like they are about anything else than US politics anyway.

I oppose the occupation of gaza by Israel !

But fr, anything position that gives one power and a feeling of superiority : magistrate, judge, police officer, military, …

That’s what I’m searching for… a workaround ! I can’t see my fans in fancontrol
