It isn't actually a file manager. It is called a "file picker" and has been a reason to rant as long as I can remember, so close to a decade.

I give you 3 options and you google them and choose the one which suits you the best. 1. Change the boot order in your bios (Mint drive first) 2. Install package 'os-prober' and then update-grub (Win10 will appear in Grub) 3. Install rEFInd to replace Grub and choose everytime which OS you want to boot (set timeout by yourself). Warning: theming the rEFInd is known to be addictive.

So there's no risks for regular users if they get hacked? Asking for learning purposes.

I know this doesn't help but I think the file picker is by far the worst feature Linux has ever had. And our opinions are quite common among Linux users.

Thank you!

Hopefully LMDE6 is a game changer for the most popular first Linux distro. If the CosmicOS by System76 doesn't win that title.

My grandparents were 1,5 years with Mint but LMDE5 has now been for 10 months and it is awesome. Literally 0 issues since day 0 whereas Win7 and Win10 caused constant headaches for me over the phone.

I went from decade with dwm into Alpine + Sway and had zero issues. Actually the opposite, all the screen tearing and multi screen issues are now gone.

How you would replace those in non-SystemD setup? Asking for learning purposes.

Not at all. There are many many projects out there which should be killed anyway. Just stop using them.

Thanks a lot. I truly hope this is the big picture and SystemD whiners are just a fringe minority lol

Interesting. Thanks for letting me know!

This is a tragedy.

Kali isn't meant to be a desktop OS. Use it only in VM or in a spare rig. It is meant to be a toolbox. So dual boot it with your daily driver OS or use in a VM.

Your Mac can take Linux just well: https://djharper.dev/post/2020/06/07/running-linux-on-my-macbook/

For your 300 bucks budget look nothing else than Thinkpad T480 or HP Dev One. T480 will need replacement batteries if not replaced yet.

Hopefully they at least have ssd and 8gb ram.

What a strange post in many ways.

There's an app called BlackHole, but the music library it provides is very small and oriented in music from India.

What I'd like to see is a clipboard history which pastes the content into cursor with just mouse click/enter.

Who's surprised? IBM is owned 8% by Blackrock so this shouldn't surprise anybody.

Does the greek keyboard layout offer a fast switch into latin letters? How does 'Linux' look like in greek letters?

I didn't know that logging question is related to SystemD, so thanks for telling it! As an non-top class desktop user the same thing frustrates especially because the solution is often simpler and not found from those logs.

Thinkpad T480 or HP Dev One for the cheapest you can find. If they're not powerful enough, use them until System76 releases their Virgo. It will have an open source (Coreboot) bios, trackpoint and hot-swappable mechanical keyboard.

I enjoy the seamless experience it offers. I doubt Linux in general could be noticeable faster with better optimized SystemD or with perfect init for speed.

Unfortunately I'm not. I'm running numerous Thinkpads until System76 releases their in-house produced Virgo laptop with hot-swappable mechanical keys and open source bios (Coreboot). It'll also have the trackpoint from Thinkpads.

What DE/WM you chose with your Arch? Wayland?

Let's all hope that Fedora dies. Redhat/IBM is already owned by BlackRock.

Lot's of things in computing should be simplified. Especially bios firmware / boot process. It has become overly complicated mess offering zero value for anybody. In 10 years the bios chip size has increased from 8 mbit to 256 mbit and no features added. Only TPM 2.0 has been added, but it is another chip than bios.

Using 7 gigs of ram. How?

Is that picture low resolution or is the problem in my Jerboa for Android?

Do you have plans to go with LMDE6 when it's released?

The Github for the game: https://github.com/2006-Scape/2006Scape

There's also a wiki, which is still in progress (no proper front page, use search to find articles): https://wiki.2006scape.org/index.php/Main_Page

Why everybody creates their own project instead of joining the current ones? Bus factor is a good measure in any small project.

I used to use Global Menu stil 2 years and it was a mess. For me, Wayland is a gift from gods. The screen tearing went away and it feels more snappier. When I rarely need an external monitor, gone is the need of xrandr-plumbing to make different resolutions to work.

When you take Pop_OS! into account?

Your fetch shows 0 M / 0 M of memory :)

It is a Jerboa related problem. It downloads just 50% of the top area and below part is just black.

I noticed this driver crapware by updating the mobo bios I bought used. Luckily MSI has a rollback tool lol.

My i5-2500K had a nice GUI bios with 16 mbit bios chip. Including UEFI and Secureboot and other modern features.

Omg there's already 168 issues reported and I don't have an account for github. Tjanks for suggesting the link. I won't do it and probably delete this thread too.

Doesn't Darktable work for you?

Haha no problem. My 50%-pro photographer friend has used Linux only since 2018 and that's why I asked.

You grab your biggest usb stick and install a tool Ventoy2Disk into it: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_ventoy2disk.html

Then you never re-format again, but just drag and drop any .iso-file you want to try. You can try any Linux distro in live mode without installing anything into your computer before you found your favorite distro.

Try at least these, Pop_OS!: https://pop.system76.com/

Linux Mint: https://linuxmint.com/download.php

If you don't have Nvidia gpu, then try LMDE5 instead and here's why: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=374128

Fedora KDE: https://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/

If you want something totally different and fully keyboard driven distro (docs reading is mandatory), Manjaro Sway: https://manjaro-sway.download/

At this point it is only about the looks you like the most.
