The whole Recall thing is what finally made me get off my lazy ass and make the jump to Linux. I chose PopOS, and I’ve been very impressed with the out-of-the-box experience. Between Steam and Lutris, I can play just about any game I want to.

It feels like I actually own my laptop now.

PopOS for me. I have played around with Linux in the past, but never seriously dived into it. The whole Windows 11 Recall fracas changed that. I went with Pop because it’s an out-of-the-box distro. Everything just works, and it has Nvidia and AMD graphics support baked in. I used to not like Gnome, but it’s kinda growing on me now. Then again, that’s the beauty of this OS: Don’t like the desktop environment? Download a new one from a bunch of alternatives. Current distro not floating your boat? Make some bootable USB drives of different distros and take them for a test run.

It’s a beautiful thing.

THIS.

Thanks very much!

I regret upgrading to 11 on my home machine. I want to either go back to 10, or just migrate to Linux Mint. Only two things stopping me from jumping is a) My graphics are Nvidia, and b) making time for it.

Thank you!

Forgive me if I am hijacking the thread, but does anyone have a recommendation for a chair that can accommodate a big dude? Like 330 lbs or so? I ordered one off Amazon, and it didn’t last 6 months.

Try LibreWolf or Floorp.

Most definitely! You even get those features in the free tier.

It has note version history. https://help.notesnook.com/note-version-history

I got the announcement via my Skiff mail. I went to get on their Discord to see what was up, but it’s gone. They nuked it.

Shady AF.

I’ll throw in a recommendation for Notesnook. It’s available on all platforms, syncs across devices, is e2e encrypted, handles tables, and you can organize notes via notebooks, If you need to get a bit more granular, you can subdivide notebooks via topics. It also handles markdown. I pay around $5.00/month for a pro account, and am getting more than my money’s worth.

I haven’t used it in a while, but I liked Openshot when I found myself having to edit some video.

I’m a happy Notesnook user, here. And they have tables.

Still playing Elder Scrolls Online. It’s my go-to these days. There’s just do much to do in that game.

Thank you for this!

If I can get a custom ROM to work on my current phone, I’m all for it! I was looking at specific unlocked phone brands because some custom ROMS are optimized for that hardware.

I can’t uninstall the Facebook app from my phone (not unless I use ADB), so it’s disabled. I uninstalled Messenger. I pinned a post on my FB page that said if people needed to contact me they can email me or text me. I have posted about why folks should leave these platforms until I am blue in the face. If they want to make the switch, they will. If they want to reach out, they will.

Eventually, I want to get an unlocked phone, load a custom ROM, and tell the big platforms to fuck off. I resent how difficult they have made that, and I resent how complacent we have become because of it.

I’ve only tried Liftoff, but I’m liking it so far.

Agreed. And Feinstein barely knows what’s going on. Pelosi and the establishment dems are just using her to keep a seat. It’s freaking elder abuse, at least in her case.
