This @cheezits@lemmy.ca! I run Linux Mint on a T410 with 4 GB of Ram and a 250 GB SSD and the user experience is quite ok for normal day to day usage like playing light games, browsing and HD video streaming.
+1 for Linux Mint for the power user. They will fell familiar and can start their journey from there. The most important concept I would explain would be package managers and flat pack, as in vanilla Windows there is no such thing.
The second one would be regular updates and that you have to do a little maintenance from time to time
Mint would be my recommendation for the noob as well. It is a clean distro and does not require a lot of maintenance except regular updates.
As a German I would not say that local cultures were flattened. Germany still has a lot of cultural differences.
My guess is this is a licensing issue. As DVD rental they could rent all studios. Now many publishers do their own thing.
I’m in the process of buying a Blueray player when I realized physical media is no more expensive than buying from a platform like Amazon or apple. The difference is, I could sell and borrow my DVD just as I like without the risk of loosing everything because of one of the providers locking me out.
I love, how this project was done. Someone wrote and narrated the text, searched for all the music samples and pressed it on a record, when YouTube was already a thing. This is art!
Do you know this very meditative video, explaining the history of the break?
It is cross platform. Users can try it, regardless of the OS and do not have to switch behavior when switching the OS.
Someone please stop time before I get any older; I want to get off.
Not as hard as you think. Stopping is not the problem. Stopping and still having fun is.
Louis picked it up from Gamers Nexus, as he says in the video.
I love those references. Kubricks 2001 is referenced a lot as well. And I like all the different versions of „The Seven Samurai“.
Great answer.
I use posteo.de and sync between Thunderbird on Linux, Thunderbird on OS X, Apple Mail on Desktop and iOS without problems. Calendar and contacts, too. My partner syncs between iPhone and Thunderbird on Windows.
The service is a German privacy aware mail service. It is 1€/Month.
Edit: didn’t see that you ruled out Posteo already. I still think it’s a great mail service.
The not ideal solution is storing the backup codes in our password vault.
If you want to have them separated from the passwords and login information I would create a second vault with a different password just for the codes and store them side by side.
Das u steht im Original eigentlich für µ, also Micro, aber das ist in URLs schlecht abbildbar, weshalb es dann u geworden ist.
Thanks for the advice!
My Apple devices are from work and we are able to use them privately with admin rights. On my private account I have mostly open source software like Quodlibet for my music collection, Firefox, Inkscape, and so on. My Mailaccount is from a small German privacy by design provider. I have a Synology NAS I run Paperless NGX and Jellyfin on. I switch Operating systems regularly.
I think I am well set up 😁.
It’s an encrypted database and I am not tech savvy enough to self host a sync service.
Corporate Users. My guess is, that almost any office job where you work on a Computer has Windows as OS. You have a license for your job. The license for home usage is bonus money to Microsoft.
KeepassXC with iCloud sync is my setup at the moment.
I started with this (yes in floppy disk)
