I’m sorry that I don’t understand it.

By default, all windows/mac/linux laptops will ask users to set up a password for log-in. This is not sufficient, but much better than password-less unlock

I have a steam deck an I love it, but I don't think using it as a laptop is a good idea. Unlocking a steam deck doesn't need a password (by default), just like Switch, GameBoy or PS Portable. If steam deck is lost, sensitive personal data can be accessed easily. Besides, I'd expect a higher risk of losing a steam deck, as I'd been playing it on various places like metro or train stations.

If you never take your steam deck out of your home, then it sounds sensible to use SD as a laptop

Free upgrade is always great. Sadly, Tears of Kingdom is not on this list

I'm using https://skymoth.app/ so far so good

I've made a post about using northmail.ca to replace Google Calendar https://lemmy.ca/post/42995779

I use hair clog remover twice a year on my bathroom sink. Seems that I should install a drain hair catcher for it?

 

I had been using Clorox's Liquid-Plumr Pro Strength Hair Clog Remover for years.

I had stockpiled it during CT's promotion last year, and it's used up now. Is there any Canadian replacement?

Thank you

Edit: Thank you for all your suggestions. I think I'd change my habit. I'm going to install a drain hair catcher to my bathroom sink, instead of using chemical hair remover twice a year

Sorry to hear it. I'm a casual player and the Linux performance worked well for me. If playing CS competitively, the little difference in performance is crucial.

Not sure what kind of multi player game you prefer. Dota 2 and CS have perfect Linux support and it may worth a try

I'm neutral with it.

A meta-search engine is a search tool that sends user queries to selected search engines and returns the result

I don't know the cost of Waterfox to send the queries to the search engine providers. I'm afraid that the ad income can't cover the cost

LibreOffice is the top open source choice, and it has been the default choice for Linux users for more than a decade. I'd recommend everyone to have a try

There might be some changes that could improve it further:

  • ~~Remove Brave~~
  • ~~Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized~~
  • Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
  • Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
  • ~~Add GrapheneOS~~
  • Maybe add Delta chat
  • ~~Maybe remove Bluesky~~
  • ~~Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)~~
  • ~~Add ente because Immich is selfhosted~~
  • ~~Add aurora~~
  • ~~Add SearxNG~~
  • Add SimpleX
  • Add lichess
  • Add pCloud

Any other suggestions?
