  • I have used Windows all my life, and I have some questions.

    Jump

  • Will my ability to play games be significantly affected compared to Windows?

    It will be somewhat affected, but most games can be played via wine/proton.

    Can I mod games as freely and as easily as I do on Windows?

    Depends on the game and mods? Some games like Minecraft can run and be modded natively in Linux.

    If a program has no Linux version, is it unusable, or are there workarounds?

    Again, there is wine/proton for that.

    Can Linux run programs that rely on frameworks like .NET or other Windows-specific libraries?

    If I remember correctly, you can install .NET, DirectX and so on in wine.

    How do OS updates work in Linux? Is there a "Linux Update" program like what Windows has?

    You are going to love updates coming from Windows. Basically you run your package manager update command and everything is taken care of.

    How does digital security work on Linux? Is it more vulnerable due to being open source? Is there integrated antivirus software, or will I have to source that myself?

    I'm no security expert, but the consensus is that it's more secure. I'll leave it to more competent people to explain.

    Are GPU drivers reliable on Linux?

    Depends. NVIDIA used to be annoying to manage.

    Can Linux (in the case of a misconfiguration or serious failure) potentially damage hardware?

    About this, I have no idea.

    And also, what distro might be best for me?

    I have seen Linux Mint often suggested to new users, but picking a distro is a topic that deserves a whole new post.

  • Clickbait-ish title, the prosthesis is not "mind controlled" but uses wireless electrodes that record muscle contraction. Cool tech, though.

  • CBP told them their entry was denied — and that they would be detained until their deportation.Both say they were handcuffed and sent to a detention center, which they claimed was more like a prison.“We were searched with metal detectors, our entire bodies were scanned, and we had to stand naked in front of the police officers and were looked through,” Pohl said. “Then we were given green prison clothes and put in a prison cell with serious criminals.”

  • How does Mint work with (old) NVIDIA drivers? I'm going to have to do the switch sometime this year and I am still debating which distro would give me the least troubles running games and applications via Proton / Wine.
