The real enemy inside is the government, not the people.

People need to keep their government under more surveillance than the government does its people.

Ubuntu LTS based distro. Heavily customized Gnome to make it more familiar for those coming from windows. They have a paid support tier for some business and enterprise features.

You forget how recently gay rights were achieved and normalized.

Except now fascists are trying to undo it, along with the rights of black people and other minorities.

Plot twist, no-one else was in the chamber. They did it to each other.

Now imagine if millions, instead of demonstrating, decided to actually do something.

Strike action would be a good place to start.

That's a good rock. My man gene approves.

If the worst should happen, I will sail the seas to reclaim my ownership.

When you don't earn dollars, it's a lot of money.

I would love to buy all my games from gog, but they lack steam's regional pricing in my region, so most games are 4x the price on gog.

That's how I feel every time I need to use an App to use an appliance that has no business connecting to the internet.

Think you commented in the wrong thread.

Both have an Ubuntu base

Mint develops their own desktop called Cinnamon which is like a cross between Gnome2 and windows 7 UIs. Its looks a bit bland, but some people prefer that.

Zorin uses Gnome3, but is heavily customized to give people a choice between windows 7, windows 10 or MacOS type experiences. The UI does look a lot more modern than mint in the looks department. They also have a commercial support option.

Both have a pretty good suite of software for customization and management.

Personally I'm loving Bazzite, which is Fedora based with a lot of customizations for gaming and modern hardware. It's also immutable, which makes it difficult to break.

$11 per month, that's only about double what it costs in most of the world. Wait... Still $11 PER PEN

Wtf did it cost before!!??

Bitwarden got a nice polish update about 2 months ago, its a lot better now.

Thx for the tip. I just got a 5x FPS boost in a very poorly optimized sim game "war at sea" thing was chugging along at 5-6 fps when lots of ships were on the screen. Was maxing out all 32 threads on my 5950x. Now it's running a cool 20% utilization.

Thx for the tip, will give it a try.

I got it from the protonup app that is pre installed.

Exactly. It's been going on for long before LLMs became commonplace.

It uses an atomic update system on an immutable base. They don't refer to the same thing, but you sort of need the one when you use the other for it to make sense.

I agree that journalists should be doing those things, but in reality, especially at large journalistic entities they use AI to derive content from previous articles on a topic adding new information.

If they don't do it themselves, they pick up and republish content from other sources that do.

The system self-reinforces previously used language. Its laughable easy for someone to orchestrate the use of particular language early on and for all the news articles to perpetuate it, without even needing to continuously coordinate it.

They are doing very well striking the oil infrastructure with homegrown solutions, so they would actually want the tomahawk for the tougher military targets, like command and control, airfields, supply bunkers etc.

Linux Mint is the windows 7 experience of linux. It gets out of the way so you can work. It also has the best in-OS help tools. It's also a bit more conservative in terms of newest features, so it's a lot more reliable.

If she does PC gaming, you might want to look at Bazzite rather than Mint. It's a lot better equipped for non-technical people to start gaming. It's basically a preconfigured Fedora linux, so it's got a solid foundation. It's also something called an immutable distro, which basically means it's more difficult to break as the core OS is "read only" (to simplify).

In terms of migrating, best to avoid dual booting off a single disk. Microsoft keeps breaking Linux installs (probably on purpose). So best to install a second SSD.

Before you migrate, have her make a list of software she uses and the hardware she has. Best to post that on a forum like this to have more experienced people look for possible issues.

When it gets to migration day, if bitlocker is disabled, you can access your windows data from linux.

Also get her on Lemmy and asking questions directly. The best thing you can teach a low tech person is how to get help.
