While I think firewalls are overrated, they are also dead easy to set up, and the best kind of defense is defense in depth.

It works, nowhere near as good as AMD but it works.

You can get used to any scale

If farenheit represents how humans feel then 50 is the most comfortable temperature right?

I love Fedora! but sadly I have been burned twice by Red Hat already. I refuse to be burned a third time so I'm moving my servers over to Debian. I like to use the same ecosystem on all my computers, so I also moved my desktop and laptop over to Debian.

I tried OpenSUSE a few times, but I disliked YaST, disliked the unclear future of Leap and disliked the unclear future of ALP. I thought I would love Aeon (I used Silverblue when I used Fedora) but I didn't like being unable to compare my system against a "base" one. So for the time, at least until the situation over SUSE clears up, I'm going to stick with Debian.

Anyways, once GNOME 45 hits Debian Testing I think I'm going to move over to that, I would prefer to use Stable (which I use on my laptop and job) but I really want a recent GNOME for my Nvidia GPU. I have a bunch of BTRFS snapshots ready to go back to stable at any moment if anything happens, so I'm not too worried.

Is that on X11 or Wayland?

When my main PC had Nvidia I was desperate to move from Xorg to Wayland because Xorg was laggy like that video you showed while Wayland behaved perfectly.

I think that only happens on Xorg if you have different monitors though.

UBI is a way to make capitalism more fair. One important fact about capitalism that seemingly everyone forgot is that competition is a requirement for it to work.

If there is fierce competition in all markets, even if everyone is getting UBI, price hikes are impossible.

I went for an AMD APU on my laptop explicitly because I wanted to avoid hybrid graphics. While I would like a faster igp, for battery life and ease of use, APUs are fantastic.

I tried a bunch of terminals on my laptop and ended up deciding that I don't care and just like the GNOME terminal.

I'm going to try Console on my desktop then!

First, I have a multi monitor setup, with different resolutions, refresh rates and scalings, so X11 is basically unusable (tears like crazy and wrong sizes everywhere). On Wayland, Wayland programs work perfectly, always looking crisp and the correct size.

Anyways, nearly everything I do is in a browser or a terminal, both work perfectly on Wayland. The other program I use lots is VSCode, which in the past was its own source of problems for Wayland/Nvidia, but now it surprisingly works fine (as long as I launch it with --ozone-platform-hint=auto so its not blurry).

I do use lots of these fancy electron apps, things Slack, Discord and Teams, but I sandboxed all of them into my browser. Teams barely works, but it barely works anywhere anyways so I'm not missing out on much.

I also use lots of native GTK apps, they all support Wayland perfectly, I really like the Celluloid video player for example.

The only programs I commonly use that are X11 only are Spotify, which I don't really care if its blurry (I tried sandboxing it too into the browser, but I like to keep all my music downloaded) and Datagrip, which I'm anxiously awaiting for Wayland support.

Exactly. The first thing we need to do is stop extracting extra carbon from the ground.

Then we literally need to start reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, probably by literally growing trees, cutting them down and them straight up burying them deep underground.

It's vulnerabilities month or what?
