For testing try the live USB sticks Just flash them to an empty stick with programs like etcher, then power dowb and select the stick in your bios (usually reachable by hammering f1, f2 or Del while starting

(Remember that performance will be much better when installing it for real compared tusing running it from a stick though)

Dual boot will work and is not that hard to setup, but you should back up all your data before trying it.

Also when dual booting to avoid duplicates etc I have all my documents and stuff on a USB stick, so I don’t have a version in my win and a version iny linux. Cloud works as well

Yes, ez one (if you have installed operating systems before and know how to paste an error passage into google ) -4hours and your done start to finish. (Given you have standard hardware and don’t want to set up something crazy like dual boot with raid and nas)

Moderate complexity if you have never done anything like that, plan 2-6 evenings to get it fully working with everything you need

Also: consider your scopes. For most cases Linux will just work, you just have to get used to some different interfaces.

BUT: some things will not run under linux no matter how hard you try --> google if stuff you can’t live without will work

(for me I still have a dual boot windows for playing league of legends and running my vive wireless adapter, as those will not run under Linux.

For games use protonDB

I may be oldschool, but for people not comfortable around terminals I would suggest Debian KDE as it never breaks and the transition from windows is easy. You can do everything from GUI (clicky button interfaces)

For the installation of steam you might need a terminal, but there are good guides online (and you really dont need to be a wizard for that) from where you can just copy paste (when searching just add your distro e.g. “install steam Debian”, and once you’ve got that running you can just run every game from within steam.

Since Steam has done a lot of work with proton, most games just run under Linux. In steam: Install–>play

For nearly all games not directly running, you can just force them to run with proton. It will say: “Game not compatible” in steam, you just click the gear icon on the right to open settings, go to “compatibilty” and tick “force use of compatibility layer” and select the newest proton from the drop down

The button where steam previously said “not compatible” magically turns into the blue “install” button we all know and love. And nearly all games run with only minor inconveniences (like showing keyboard hotkeys even when playing with a gamepad) or no issues at all.

You need to be aware that some games using kernel level anticheat (e.g. league of legends, valorant) can not and will never run on Linux, if the developers of the games don’t add the possibility.

EDIT: for programs not related to gaming its often easier to use an alternative, if the program is not available for Linux. Most times its also more privacy foccused, open source and free

Installiert twrp then lineage for your device. Usually there is a guide with the packet on the lineage Website.

If not officialy supported you need to pray someone on xda tinkered a Version together

How about being against Imperialists as well as fascists but not calling an attempt to divide the working class by skin color in some f*ed up version of positive racism “based”? Ever heard of the concept of international solidarity?

The fact that there is a possibility that this is real and not Satire tells a lot about american society

Most smart home devices are actually not that smart. They are simply a switch with wifi, which logs in to your local wifi and shouts “HERE I AM, I HAVE TWO MODES, YOU CANSWITCH BETWEEN THOSE” into the ether.

Reasons to have a hub are:

1. Not having to open the website of every single device or send a command from the command line if you want to use it, but rather have one place which registerss all devices and bundles them up to serve you in a nice web interface or app.

2. Have more advanced/intercinnected functions (not only: send “up” to the blinds device but send “up” to the blinds device, if the time device says its later then 8:00 and the daylight sensor device senses dalight.

3. Some hubs have security features, like claiming the device and establishing a password, so not everyone in you WiFi can do everything.

4. Good ones act like a protective layer from you to the outside internet (esps and most smart home devices are simple devices, which are rather unsecure and where you don’t know which code is running (your Chinese security camera might not only send pictures to you but also to China, and you would not knowbif its connected to the internet directly). So you can only allow connections to the hub, and if you have an open source hub like HomeAssistant, you could be rather certain stuff like this will not happen as easily.

5. Do all the heavy lifting with more CPU power (user and password login, updates, scripts, voice recognition if you want stuff like this, keeping date and time recently updated, merge (in the case of HomeAssitant) different protocols (like iqtt, phillipsHUE, ZigBee, etc. Pp.) Into one coherent system.

Some other things also, and that being said: it is literally the device controlling your entire house and privacy, so get one you trust, preferable an open source one where you don’t have to accept agbs to give up all rights to Samsung or so.

Live to love in my ass (Lol)

Also interesting because in German progressive/queer feminist groups use the term

“Weiblich gelesen” (literal: read female, meaning: assumed to be female)

If we want to refer to someone who looks like a women by conservative standards but about whom we don’t know if they actually identify as a women.

“Weib” (degrading term for “women/wife” derived from the word “weiblich” (female)) on the other hand is considered very rude and only used by conservative/sexist people.

Just find it interesting which words are differently connotated in which language.

Okay I understand.

So “books with female protagonists” would be okay (because large group referenced) “Bus with female passengers” would be considered rude, because small group referenced, you would rather say “Bus with women and girls as passengers” ?

Honest question from a non native: what is wrong with the term female?

And what word could you use for the sex girls and women are part of where people wouldn’t imagine you look like a space neolib?

Russels teapod is a good example imho

Real in the sense of this being a real screenshot and not edited

Is this real? If so,does someone have the link to the original?

Lul, instead oft making vanilla mean (real) vanilla and calling fake “vanilla flavoured” or vanilin like a sane person

I dont know anything at all, thats why i am asking. Apple not being fan of Foss on their devices was just the first thing that comes to mind.

EDIT: Just saw you quoted them, nvm, thanks for the relay

Feel safe? You think Apple is targeting them?

EDIT: not the case for all we know, situation seems to be complex and they don’t want speculation
