I'm fond of Linux Mint: Debian Edition for most of my computers, but run Solus on my travel laptop (recent change), though both of those might be problematic for your needs. Perhaps regular Linux Mint?

I think the reason is because apparently a lot of people are unhappy with a deal Nix inked apparently with a company that does business with the US' Immigrations and Customs

I use both and while I prefer Kbin's interface slightly, I will say that my experience with Lemmy is definitely better, the Kbin instance I'm on often has 500 errors on various parts of the site, along with lots of duplicate posts. Overall, I think it's a toss up, neither one is particularly better than the other, though Lemmy is bigger.

Linux Mint: Debian Edition. After watching a YouTube review I decided to take a break from Arch and give it a try, I'd always like Cinnamon, and I really like this.

Maybe LM:DE (Linux Mint: Debian Edition)? Obscure software can be a pain to install for the usual reason, but otherwise I'm finding this to be a great distro. Second choice is Solus, but that's even worse when it comes to software.

For computers I typically look at Lenovo, there's a wide range of choices, and they can have some pretty sweet deals at times.

Well there is .floorp and .var/floorp for it's files, so I'm really not sure what they did, I suspect they left a few code calls to something Mozilla and that's where the problem lays

Arch is a good choice, Endeavour was my flavor of choice, but these days I use Linux Mint: Debian Edition, which works mostly fine for me (got one minor piece of software I can't get for it).

True, but as they noted in the article, this gives the law a few more teeth, like the ability to extradite people, so while it likely won't effect the big corporations, I think small fly by night companies that avoid the law by moving out of state will be held accountable.

While I generally agree, from what I read, the issue is that the court extended the date that for collecting signatures, appeals court put that on hold. Yes, they should still start counting to save time, especially as they've said they're going to be very, very picky about the signatures, but of course they don't want to waste time and money on that while the date is up in the air.... it has nothing whatsoever to do with trying to delay things as long as possible.

No need for an Apple keyboard unless you're looking for extra function keys, a regular keyboard will work fine, and if'n for some reason you need the Mac layout, it's available, I've always used the English (Macintosh) layout so I can get easy access to keys I like to use or sometimes need.

Don't really know, hit something about it elsewhere, but it didn't say anything more than that, but yeah, that seems to be the gist of things.

Slaps his forehead, "Doh, forgot you can do such a thing, thanks."

Prolly nothing, but the mine is halted if'n I'm reading that right, so it never got built, and this is at the highest state level, so it's dead unless they can figure out a way to take this to Federal court.

I played with an early version of this 2 years or so ago, and at the time I think it was Debian based, though there's an Arch version available. Neither one worked great, particularly the Arch version, but it was a very beautiful distro, if severely lacking in features. Still, it looked like it had potential, maybe I'll play with it again.

Nothing really, having it installed is really a habit from my desktop where there isn't an app.

Could always triple boot, use the third to play around to see if'n something else is even better than what you have, or use a container to test run different linuxes... linii? Personally I'm enjoying LMDE, and don't like Gnome either, but that's the great thing about Linux, so many different options.

I have mine running through Polaris Mail. The domain cost me around $5 for the year (renewal is $10 IIRC), and I'm running the Y25 plan for $25/yr which has been big enough for me. SMTP is included, and there is a web interface, but I haven't really used that, T-bird and K9 take care of my needs.

Basically yes

Try that link, if'n it works, I'll switch the links. With how many adblockers and such I have on Firefox, I don't see autoplays or ads, and can force pop ups and other things to go away.

Especially as it's easy to do on the desktop

A fair question, and one I don't have an answer for, but I'd think if'n copyright was the problem, they'd just replace it with something else that's in the clear.

I would recommend looking at Lenovo, they can have some really good deals. I'm rocking an IdeaPad Flex 5, though I don't actually use the touchscreen features, but it works solid for me (email, document writing/editing, web surfing, movie watching).

And they can have some good deals if'n you keep your eyes open, I got an Android tablet from them for $100 off at one point, which is impressive since it was a $275 tablet.

I wanna know that too

Some of these are specialized tools, but to start, I make big, big use of dedicated containers, Google, Amazon, Reddit, Pixiv, Tumblr, and Discord. Sidebar note, uBlock Origin, NoScript, Bypass Paywalls Clean, Container Sidebar, Downloads Sidebar, Get RSS Feed URL, Pixiv Toolkit, FediShare, Tumblr - Post to Tumblr, Twitter Gif & Video Downloader, and Video Downloadhelper

Definitely

Hmmm, interesting idea, I'll think about it, thanks.

Interesting, I'm running LM:DE, and haven't had any problems, on first start up it offers up a selection of things I might want to do including loading proprietary drivers. So far I have it running on multiple computers, including two POS terminals that were never meant to be used as computers.

Taxpayers paid for the art to be put up, now they get to pay for it to be taken down. Yep, good use of tax pounds.

In what way? It has some nice features that I'd like to see in Firefox after all

This is the second time I've tried Floorp, and a far bigger failure than last time.

I sorta understood that, but nothing research can't answer. I know just enough extra about computers to really bork things. 😜

Attached is a pic of the BIOS, and I think you can see what I mean about it not being the real BIOS

It particularly sucks for desktop use on phones that support it, no right click, no keyboard short cuts, and it clips a bit off the bottom of pages, and they've apparently said they have no plans to support desktop on Android.

It was around $60 for a full set of ink (colour and black and white) when we grabbed some a month or so ago, so about average I think. When you think about printers, what brands do people talk about? HP, Brother and Epson, right? Canon I think isn't really trying hard here, printers are just an offshoot of their camera business, do they make much else that isn't cameras or camera related?

I've got a Canon TS642A that's serving us well here. My Brother was giving me problems, mostly in wireless connectivity so we replaced it with this, which was I think the second cheapest Canon we could find, and we've only replaced the cartridges I think once in the last year, though we don't use it all that much. On Linux, I don't think it even needs drivers, its... Postscript I think? Setting up the wireless was a bit tricky, but once up and running, it's been rock solid.

See other comments, you accept through the notification. I've been around Android since before that was something you could do, so I tend to forget about it. Now if only I could get NTFY to stop notifying me that it's running...

Another place to look is at Lenovo laptops, I've had no problems installing Linux on them, and catch the right sale and you can get some really nice deals, though you have to be careful as they have a ridiculous number of variations on each model, some existing only for a single special deal.

Brothers are good, but we were having problems with ours, especially the wireless network features so we replaced it with a Canon TS6420a ink jet all in one that prints double sided, and it's been working flawlessly

Try a reboot afterwards?
