  • I don't have a problem with people doing that, but you can also just say "search".

  • Oh yeah there's definitely a bit of effort involved, but most distros have very similar directory setups, so it's often just a matter of copying across the relevant folders, with the "home" folder being the one that typically contains most or all of your user data.

    Being able to test run distros off a USB drive is a great (and easy) way to see if it might be for you without making any sort of commitment.

    Another option is to install the distro to a second hard drive so you have a more permanent environment to test it. I've done this before, and when I was content that I wanted to switch to it I just copied all my stuff across.

  • That's what came to mind for me too. Just a spray nozzle responding to immediate input from the camera with no networking and no storage attached. I probably still wouldn't buy one though haha

  • Without the right corrective measure that is quite possible.

  • Thank you very much!

    I'm glad it was at least about something fairly trivial.

  • Which is why...

    The court sentenced Butler to 78 years Aug. 25, but as long as he complies with his rehabilitation plan, he will not serve any jail time.

    ...which was omitted from your summary. This guy is clearly getting a ridiculously light sentence, but this quote is vital information that shows how serious his offences were.

    While rehabilitation is a much better way to prevent re-offending compared with incarceration, this guy needs way more than just a year of counseling and a few weeks of community service.

  • Any chance you remember what that one edit war was about?

  • These are all pretty easy to answer with a search, but here's some info to get you started:

    Does Linux have a windows GUI?

    Lots of distros are similar to Windows in many ways. Some are specifically geared towards Windows-to-Linux migrants, or trying to be as close to Windows as possible. They are all much more customisable than Windows too, so you can change it to whatever works for you.

    Linux Mint is often recommended to newcomers. Zorin OS is another good option that is more like Windows.

    Do all the steam games have Linux compatability?

    No, but compatibility is constantly improving and more developers are natively supporting Linux.

    Game compatibility list: https://www.protondb.com/

    Also, Windows app compatibility list (though many Linux app alternatives are better than their Windows counterparts IMO): https://appdb.winehq.org/

    Is there a Linux version of Windows Defender?

    Windows is far less secure, and targeted by much more malware due to it's market share.

    https://linuxsecurity.com/news/security-trends/antivirus-linux

    Many Linux users don't bother with antivirus software at all, but yes, there are plenty of options available.

  • Great thing about Linux is you can change your distro whenever you want.

    If you're uncertain, or not ready to go through the process just yet, you can always just boot Bazzite off a USB drive and play around with it for now.

  • As someone who was in your exact position several years ago, nice!

    I'd recommend Linux Mint to newcomers though. It's based on Ubuntu and is even easier to get comfortable with (much better GUI for updates and app "store"), but it strips out all the Microsoft-like stuff that Canonical have been doing in recent years.

    Pop!_OS (also based on Ubuntu) and Bazzite are also meant to be beginner friendly, and are particularly geared towards gaming on Linux, especially the latter.

  • "I intended to do it, but I could not force myself to do it."

    Genuinely envious of how understanding the people in your life are if this wasn't simply met with anger, frustration, resentment etc.

  • Non-expert opinion: it's dangerous.

  • Funny you don't see the irony of that actually being your argument.

    Do you go out and protest Hamas?

    What a ridiculous question. The vast majority of governments have made their feelings about Hamas very clear. Do you go out and protest crime?

  • I know for a fact war crimes were committed by the allies in WWII.

    And in your mind that makes what Israel is doing completely fine??

    Also it would be nice to know the exact wording...

    OP already linked the PDF. Here's a screenshot showing the question:

    And here's one from the referenced Pew survey:

  • I guess it depends on the specific apps we use. Some can be pretty massive, but I have heaps of APKs that are <30MB, and even several that are <1MB.

    Maybe a couple of large enough apps could be the issue if you always have them open, or if they are running services on your phone.

  • Yeah that unfortunately seems to be the only option if you don't want to completely reset your device or remove apps one at a time to find the culprit. And there's no guarantee either of those will work anyway.

    I've actually found a small number other users reporting a similar issue, though dev responses all seem to believe the issue is likely caused by apps rather than the OS. The fact that the issue is exclusive to GrapheneOS doesn't appear to have swayed them into looking into it unfortunately.

    If I were in your position I'd probably use the Auto Reboot setting so at least you don't have to do it manually every day. It reboots after a specified number of hours without an unlock, so it's ideal for when you're asleep.

  • It should matter in all cases. In Canada's case, it is a historical issue and cannot be undone, whereas this is ongoing and can be changed.

    Canada has paid reparations to victims, and many efforts have been made to document and acknowledge the harm done.

    While this may well be a case of "too little, too late", it's not something many people can see Israel ever doing, especially since most Canadians were unaware of the residential schools until very recently, while the majority of Israelis have made their feelings towards Palestinians very clear.

  • That's why I put it in quotes. Being able to view the RAM usage is useful though. Best of luck with resolving your issue.
