League - it doesnt run on Linux anymore since riot forced that stupid vanguard on us

For testing try the live USB sticks Just flash them to an empty stick with programs like etcher, then power dowb and select the stick in your bios (usually reachable by hammering f1, f2 or Del while starting

(Remember that performance will be much better when installing it for real compared tusing running it from a stick though)

Dual boot will work and is not that hard to setup, but you should back up all your data before trying it.

Also when dual booting to avoid duplicates etc I have all my documents and stuff on a USB stick, so I don't have a version in my win and a version iny linux. Cloud works as well

Yes, ez one (if you have installed operating systems before and know how to paste an error passage into google ) -4hours and your done start to finish. (Given you have standard hardware and don't want to set up something crazy like dual boot with raid and nas)

Moderate complexity if you have never done anything like that, plan 2-6 evenings to get it fully working with everything you need

Also: consider your scopes. For most cases Linux will just work, you just have to get used to some different interfaces.

BUT: some things will not run under linux no matter how hard you try --> google if stuff you can't live without will work

(for me I still have a dual boot windows for playing league of legends and running my vive wireless adapter, as those will not run under Linux.

For games use protonDB

I may be oldschool, but for people not comfortable around terminals I would suggest Debian KDE as it never breaks and the transition from windows is easy. You can do everything from GUI (clicky button interfaces)

For the installation of steam you might need a terminal, but there are good guides online (and you really dont need to be a wizard for that) from where you can just copy paste (when searching just add your distro e.g. "install steam Debian", and once you've got that running you can just run every game from within steam.

Since Steam has done a lot of work with proton, most games just run under Linux. In steam: Install-->play

For nearly all games not directly running, you can just force them to run with proton. It will say: "Game not compatible" in steam, you just click the gear icon on the right to open settings, go to "compatibilty" and tick "force use of compatibility layer" and select the newest proton from the drop down

The button where steam previously said "not compatible" magically turns into the blue "install" button we all know and love. And nearly all games run with only minor inconveniences (like showing keyboard hotkeys even when playing with a gamepad) or no issues at all.

You need to be aware that some games using kernel level anticheat (e.g. league of legends, valorant) can not and will never run on Linux, if the developers of the games don't add the possibility.

EDIT: for programs not related to gaming its often easier to use an alternative, if the program is not available for Linux. Most times its also more privacy foccused, open source and free

Adobe light room --> darktable

Microsoft office --> libre office

Adobe Premiere pro --> davinci resolve/shotcut

Paint/Photoshop --> gimp/davinci/dark table

Edge --> firfox

Notepad --> Kate

Fraps/relive/shadowPlay --> OBS

Etc. Pp.

Forgive me my unknowing, what does ydi stand for?

He is not disparaging the whole community. As you said "there must be zero personal powered vehicles" is not a position the community has.

You can't say "fallacious arguments" AND "disparaging the whole community"

Only one of the two can be accurate. IMO it's fallacious arguments, which is not a good reason to remove or ban IMHO.

The reaction to stupid arguments should be good arguments or education, not removal.

You assume a whole lot about the person, if this is the only mistake he made. Maybe its just a 15yo who seriously doesn't understand the difference. If he has a (long) history of purposefully misunderstanding the point and derailing its a different story. If not you are banning him for a bad argument you don't agree with. That's absolutely power tripping reddit mod behavior.

Wrong community, did you mean AITA?

To your point though:

Tldr: IMHO you overreacted.

While i am totaly on your side regarding the abolishment of car-societies, you banned/removed someone for "direct insult" who made a comment about a general group of people.

Especially since you (and most people on the sub) don't even argue for the point he is making fun of, this is clearly no direct insult against any particular person.

While his comment IS stupid (IMHO) and IS a strawman argument (so doesn't add anything to discussion but rather steer towards a direction I find non-constructive) It IS also clearly a hyperbol and IS clearly NOT directly insulting a particular person.

So even if I share your annoyment regarding such people, I think you went full reddit mode and abused your powers. Just my humble opinion, feel free to disagree

While I find it legitimate to ban people who repeatedly only derail and insult for the fun of it, I don't think banning people not getting the point or using graphic language fosters a good discussion culture or gets anyone to change their views or educate themself but just leads to a circle jerk. The point when to assume someone is acting in bad faith is not easy to define, but especially if this is a oneoff its definitely not reached in my opinion.

While you can mod your sub this way, I don't think it helps for reaching our goal and its not the moderation I would like to see.

judgment: PTH(uman)

"Lost its radio signal" As if we didn't have footage of them jamming

"Blockade to avoid weapon delivery"

"Ship carrying humanitarian aid"

"These antisemitic flotilla"

"The IDF prepared in advance to intercept the ship before it could enter Israeli territorial waters; "

Enough said

13, aber nicht von sonnig sondern von logische Technik für meinen personellen rechner

Installiert twrp then lineage for your device. Usually there is a guide with the packet on the lineage Website.

If not officialy supported you need to pray someone on xda tinkered a Version together

Interesting. Was ich aus dem wiki Artikel noch nicht so ganz verstehe, ist warum die elektromagnetische Strahlung hier einen impuls überträgt wenn sie keine Masse hat. Klar, die Energie muss irgendwo hin, aber bei einer absorbtion bzw. Reflektion einer masselosen Strahlung hätte meine (möglicherweise naive) intuition gesagt diese kann nur wieder in Form von elektromagnetischer Strahlung (reflektion) oder Wärme (absorbtion) erfolgen.

Warum hier plötzlich kinetische Energie vorkommt, raffe ich nicht.

Ein anderer Kommentator sprach an, dass elektromagnetische Strahlung nur keine Ruhe Masse hat (und impliziert damit dass sie eine andere Form der Masse hat), da sie sich aber immer mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit ausbreitet und nie zur Ruhe kommt, verschiebt dass das Problem aber nur darauf, dass dass maimai von einer rein hypothetischen masselosigkeit spricht die nirgendwo außer auf dem Papier tatsächlich existiert, und dass etwas ohne Masse bei der Kollision trotzdem einen impuls generiert, was natürlich möglich ist, aber ohne eine Erklärung warum dies der Fall sein sollte eine unbefriedigende Antwort bleibt.

 

Hey people.

i recently heard rumors that Fennec is not updated properly anymore/not secure.

I don't really know what's going on (since the last update on f-droid is from 9.4.25) but am now unsure if its still the right choice.

What I like about fennec:

  • -tuned version of firefox
  • -not based on chrome
  • -supports ad ons
  • -possible to play YouTube while phone locked.

Just wanted to hear if someone can confirm the rumors of not being as privacy friendly / safe anymore and if so suggest privacy friendly alternatives, preferable not loosing the things I like.
