“The SBAT value is not applied to dual-boot systems that boot both Windows and Linux and should not affect these systems,” the bulletin read. “You might find that older Linux distribution ISOs will not boot. If this occurs, work with your Linux vendor to get an update.”

Excuse me, those are the opposite of each other.

But why would your question be “is this bad?” Just learn a little about it and decide for yourself.

My current laptop is an i7 with 16 GB of RAM. Hardware requirements have plateaued pretty hard unless your trying to run something that requires the latest GPU.

“Highways shouldn’t have guard rails because if you hit one you’ve already gone off the road anyway.”

Popular encrypted messaging app Signal is facing criticism over a security issue in its desktop application.

Linus uninstalled his desktop after ignoring the warning that said °hey, this will uninstall your desktop.°

Yeah absolutely zero newbies are going to buy a new computer in order to test out Linux.

It should be legal to hunt that person down and clamp a lobster to their nipples.
