Yea sure, you can go and do all that. Im just speaking from my personal experience. There were no experiments, it’s just the behavior I notice from Windows before the device gets the Linux treatment.

Probably, android devices and especially Samsung can be locked down. I don’t know your model though I feel like there are 4,327 variants of “galaxy note”.

No I did not have GPU accel. I’m curious what you are referring to losing work due to a misclick? Personally I don’t use desktop icons. I’m a previous i3 user so I am used to using my computer with a non traditional interface.

As someone who tried out MacOS in a VM out of curiosity I don’t find gnome to be like MacOS at all in overall functionality. I think to most people it just looks like Mac because top bar, dock and some design choices. Really though gnome is much more like Android. MacOS felt extremely clunky to use vs gnome’s fluid workspace and app switching.

Some of these things might just be the usual Windows problems…like with the heat and fan noise. I have seen huge differences in a few machines (x86 tablet/HP laptop/thinkpad) running Linux vs running Windows. The machines running Linux hardly make a peep until you play a game or compile something. On Windows they were hot and noisy af, night and day difference.

Well I know my local army base (US) was looking for Linux sys admins, so I figure they have some servers on base.

Also some intruder could be living in there with you without your knowledge. That’s my irrational fear about large homes like this, too many places for someone with bad intentions to hide.

True, kind of silly you have to install an extension because the default gnome weather won’t just let you use open weather.

It doesn’t use open weather unfortunately. It uses the Norwegian Meteorology Institute and their weather prediction is poor/entirely inaccurate for much of the world. I do wish open weather was an option especially since it’s easy to get your own weather api key.

Agree, the old windows blue screen would sear your retinas, could definitely be tuned down a bit.

He said until EOL. Windows LTSC, the IoT version in particular is supported until 2032.

But what are the Chinese going to be able to do you? If you are an American living under the American government theres much more they could do to you, such as locking you up.

You could use the android studio flatpak, install flatseal to ensure the app doesn’t have permissions you don’t want.

I’ll be on you like white on rice on a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snow storm!

Edit: missed a part

1337, cmon now!

Yes definitely as one word like ch as in change then own, same with chroot.

You may have to look into figuring out which driver Linux is using for your touchscreen then blacklist that module so that it doesn’t load anymore.

Awkward, comma.
