Yup.

More detail is good for technical users, but extremely confusing for non-technical users. There needs to be a balance between what's good for both groups, and I think the current design is a good one.

What's wrong with it? It's very clear in my opinion.

Capitalist system = we'll acknowledge climate change only when it will seriously begin to hurt our bottom line. By then, it will be already too late. Earth will be f***ed.

Sound advice. During my first year of computer science, one of my professors told me that programming languages are just a tool to solve a problem. The logic to solve it is the key. Whether it's Java, Python, Go, etc. If you don't know how to tell the computer what to do, you can't program anything in any language.

What in the actual f*&%:

According to park officials, the man, who was with three friends, climbed out of his vehicle and walked towards the animals to take photos.

So tourists think that they are domesticated animals?! They're not dogs. Respect nature.

My experience was with Apple News. When I wanted To cancel before the end date, it told me I would lose access to the trial.

Unfortunately, a lot of companies do this now, including Apple. I made it a habit to create a reminder to cancel before the end date.

Thank you for your awesome work!

Yup, and now it will bite him in the ass. Imagine if we had coalition governments in Canada that actually represented the Canadian voice. The parties will have to make concessions and actually talk to each other like in a marriage.

Indeed. I have an AMD video card and multi-monitor VRR works beautifully in Wayland. But unfortunately, according to some replies (and yours), Nvidia doesn't support it yet.

It's really unfortunate. Multi-monitor VRR is a must as I'm a gamer and I'd like my second monitor to be active when I'm playing, so I can use Discord and browse game guides, for example. I think I'll continue to buy AMD graphics cards until this issue is resolved.

You can always use Endeavour OS. It's Arch with a nice installer and some utilities already installed to make it easier to use and maintain. It uses Arch repositories, so for all intents and purposes, it is Arch. Manjaro is not.

Which is why I ask people one simple question: do they plan to game. If they plan to game, I don't recommend them Mint. If they aren't, I recommend them Mint.

I think you meant to answer OP.

Indeed. Nouveau simply does not have the gaming performance of Nvidia's proprietary driver.

Are you into gaming? If not, then it is perfectly fine to run the nouveau driver.

Many people are not activists like Richard Stallman. Perhaps it's better to run libre software, but it's perfectly reasonable to also run proprietary software.

For example, I switched to Linux when I could run proprietary games on Proton.

Canadians, do not follow this guide. I saw a Canadian on YouTube who thought Canada had the same constitution as the US and it didn't end well.
