I don’t follow. Why do you think a game like this years after gta6 couldn’t be a financial sucess?

I’m not so sure. When it comes to a conscious decision to either pirate or buy, crap like this often helps with the guilt.

CS6 has better content aware filters than Affinity and those may never get updates now, since AI can do them better. This is not even an unreasonable take, but sub…

The fourth one has a shockingly good electronic soundtrack.

I’m extremely happy about point 4. That’s by far the most important part of this fight.

I don’t know if Irfan View is open source or not, but it is free & it’s perfect for viewing & quick simple edits. Sometimes I fire up a VM to run it on Linux for some niche tasks.

Malicious actors will still succeed in registering their apps, so the whole thing is only good for control.

I think It’s on their charter that no matter how much corporate money they’ll get they’ll never accept any outside influence just the same. The donators are amply warned to not expect anything other than development as usual or faster.

How ancient is your arch install? Are you even on pipewire? That’s what you need for stable good quality bluetooth audio, pulse is awful by comparison.

Just go with Aurora (or Bluefin), that’s the way to go for tech illiterates. Most of these recommendations are 5 years out of date, like why recommend Ubuntu or Zorin, when those are almost the same as Mint.

Forget Wayland, the performance is inferior on ancient hardware, if it works at all. Postmarket OS is not a good idea either. Xfce likewise going to be too slow. Lxqt is borderline usable, but not great on this computer, so imo vanilla debian with Lxde and put some effort into theming, it can look modern enough and its the best option if someone wants lightweight without the ability to diy a WM based setup to their needs. And yes basic w98 like operation is possible.

When? Currently 240p youtube will produce frame drops on these. Typical javascript laden web pages can take minutes to render. I guess it largely depends on the websites you plan to visit. Phoronix will work ok.

Bunsenlab Linux…

Though don’t expect miracles, that cpu is too slow for the modern internet. It’s not usable for web browsing on any OS.

You use ventoy to boot into a live linux iso and then run gparted to resize, though there is a chance you have to do a non persisting install of gparted first.

Run apt update and see if it works. Meaning to look what sources it connects to, if it doesn’t fail.

If this fails, then ofc you have to create the file with the Trixie sources. There has to be a dummy file somewhere for you to copy.

I don’t really understand your post, you claim to have updated, but it’s a new usb install?

Not having a separate boot partition is the way I roll, I think. The way debian stores old kernels even 1gb wouldn’t be much.

I think for home archival use is btrfs is a terrible idea. I burnt myself with it so many times.

Yes it should be safe and resistant to unclean shutdowns, but my experience with reliability is not great.

It’s a bit of a conundrum, because if you cannot figure out how to force update the kernel on Ubuntu, then it’s likely rolling release will cause you endless pain, but that’s what you need for Blackwell right now. Maybe try Tumbleweed or even one of the Arch installers such as Endeavor OS.

Fedora licensing cripples the stock Silverblue offerings. Using an immutable without the drivers and codecs baked in is not great. Sure you can add these with ostree, but then why use an immutable …

I have embarrassing code and commented lines in mine, so not sharing. (using Awesome and qtile)

If someone has a problem my dots have the solution for, then I might copy paste edited segments.
