I think of the exact same thing when all these forks come up… Thorium, Vanadium, Bromite, Cromite and so on. Thorium incident is why I never trust these unnecessary forks. They remind me of shitty Linux distros and malware ridden 1337hax0r Windows modified ISOs.
Windows is not a benchmark. Windows has its exclusive non-gaming uses over Linux, and so Windows cannot be shit. What can be shit though is lack of being able to do a task (Linux/MacOS), or the bloatware and spyware (Windows/MacOS), or horrible performance (KDE), or garbage UX/UI (primitive DEs/WMs).
I am using Linux for the past 6 years, and am using Debian Stable. People like you are unreasonable extremists and are the reason why many people hate Linux community.
It is disgusting how deluded people like you can abuse the freedom to speak for vomiting all kinds of nonsense. It must have been easy joining Lemmy after Reddit exodus I guess, because I was one of the core people who helped build the platform you are using right now.
So Jews can cause what they were once victims of? Genocide? That must be shattering a lot of Western liberals’ hearts… or maybe they are just fascists in sheep skinned ideology?
Pixel 6 series has the well known atrociously insecure fingerprint hardware. Pixels are incredibly insecure phones and have a lot of hardware QC issues.
The other possibilities can be that the pin screen does not jumble numbers, and your phone’s fingerprint smudges were used to open phone, or that you may have a weak pin, which I am not sure you would, considering you are on Lemmy’s privacy community.
Congress has approved legislation that would prevent any president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without approval from the Senate or an Act of Congress.

So if the Congress passes money to the settler colonial state of Israel to genocide and exterminate the country of Palestine, would it be democratic? Oh wait…
OP, I have an entire guide for Linux/Windows computing, having been a couple decades old user of Windows. I am using Linux for the past 6+ years, and am using Debian as of now.
Start with Ubuntu LTS. Your priority is being able to search your solutions easily on AskUbuntu, StackOverflow or similar websites within the first few search results, and NOT needing to interact with and/or get harassed by the toxic evangelists in Linux community. I assume you already got a taste of that evangelism with the comments here.
Also, it is essential to require optimal corporate and community software support, and maximum stability/compatibility with WINE, without your system breaking upon automatic/random updates. This lessens the need for you to go around scrambling on the internet for solutions. Make sure to utilise whatever you need, Snaps, AppImages, regardless of what people say, to make your Linux life easier.

The faster USA collapses, the faster a possibility would be created for tearing down the 2 party Deep State terrorist system, rebuilding America, and ushering in socialism without leftover crusty poisonous bread crumbs like Bernie Sanders.
It is better for a Republican to accelerate the process that Democrats will eventually lead to, regardless of the quality of copium Americans smoke.
Gang up on a private place. Be straightforward, nothing hidden. Vomit it out. Tell others to vomit it out, no weaseling. Observe how everyone takes it, and how much they accept it.
See if things change.
Stick around if things change. Leave if they do not.
Extra tip: whoever weasels out, talk with the group without them, and salvage as many people out of the group as you can. Cancer cells, tumours and cysts have to be removed, else the whole body dies.

obsessive complaining about Meta/Threads, $politician, $billionaire, Reddit, or X (formerly Twitter) is among the worst
Community gave me feedback and upon reports, I purge Elon Musk whining related posts on c/technology. We just need more active and adaptive quality mods that benevolently moderate.
There will be GrapheneOS malicious actors and “security” clowns that will try to shit on F-Droid. Condemn them, boycott them, ignore them as much as you can. All they desire is to control the FOSS scene and/or to evangelise Big Tech corporate app stores.
We can think of solving FOSS community problems without their existence.
There is a particular F-Droid critiquing “blog” from their camp that goes by the name Wonderfall.dev iirc. Privsec.dev advocates similar garbage and is also from their camp.
I speak from 5 years of experience and documentation of privacy/FOSS community and know the guts of it, with none to rival my perseverance in cleaning the privacy community’s gutters.

The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large...
Russia is successfully and deservedly shitting on all of NATO’s weaponry, warfare and weapon manufacturing capabilities. They won the war long ago, now it is just being dragged. I see a lot of western liberal liars in comment section.
Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic country.
Last I checked, Russia did not erase any country. However, Blackrock, a private US firm, is acquiring and selling Ukraine’s land. You should be worried about US/NATO-backed Israel terrorist state that is genociding and erasing the country of Palestine.

And it creates a problem for us people from India, because we cannot start saying “south east Asians” or such terms because there are many countries in SE Asia. They should be called indigenous Americans or Native Americans, not Indians. And considering we are 1.5B people and everywhere in the world, we need to have a suitable identifier, where India is suffixed with -n.
This is a very dumb argument. Using proper identifiers for citizens of different countries is not a matter of monopoly. Nobody calls the indigenous people of other countries “Indians”, so why should Native Americans be called “Indians”? Ever heard of Australian Aboriginals or Canadian Wet’suwet’en or other people being called “Indians”? This argument is so dumb, should Pakistanis start calling themselves Germans and Russians should start calling themselves Africans, because no monopoly?
America spans 2 whole fucking continents and islands surrounding them. India is not a continent.
I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...
Buy a $30 SSD and put Windows on it. Boot to SSD when you want to use Windows, and put it down the booting order list in BIOS, so Linux always gets booted by default.
You will hear less about dual booting in Linux community because Windows loves to destroy GRUB bootloader, and also Windows is just becoming more and more annoying so there is a “nudging” or push to adopt Linux, forcibly or otherwise.
Not a luxury. A 128 GB SSD can be bought for about $25 (last year) or even cheaper now, and you buy once for many years, as home users write a lot less on SSDs.
Many ThinkPad models have a separate extra M.2 WWAN slot for 4G SIM modem, something you can check with respective models’ PSREF sheet. You can put either 128 or 256 GB (whatever specified) M.2 SSD of sizes either 2230 or 2242, which I was able to do on my L470 (a very modern laptop).
On a desktop, it is obviously easy, but on laptops, it depends, but you will find ThinkPads to be the most pro-consumer and pro-poweruser laptops.
You know, it is funny r/india is filled with the ignorant liberals you describe, who believe just being the opposite of Hindutvavaadis is a hallmark of being “good”. They simp for white world capitalism and “going abroad”.
NRIs are some of the biggest pieces of shit I have seen on internet, that sugarcoat their words to fool people. Typical baniya/brahmin behaviour.
Windows 7 introducing that optional but pushed telemetry update, when 10 released in 2017. Also 10 shitting itself until a couple years when it stabilised meant Linux must be adopted. WINE also started supporting a lot of stuff, and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS was the first true viable mainstream Linux attempt in history.
