As a daily Fedora user, this is annoying. I totally support the push for open-source, but enabling RPM Fusion on new installs to do standard stuff is a royal pain in the butt that will immediately turn off new users.

While I am usually resistant to change, I remain ever vigilant to try not be that XKCD guy

It’s already been proven that piracy is a causal factor in more sales. Any self-interested dev should be promoting piracy of their game.

Windows -> Fedora

Been almost 10 years and no thoughts of changing. What can I say? I lucked out first time.

The only download software I used was the DownThemAll Firefox extension, which has always been real good. It works on all sites I’ve tried it with, it’s a very customisable interface, I don’t really know what you mean by not copy-pasting links but you don’t gotta do that.

You’re not likely to find an exact copy of the software for another OS, wine probably is your best bet if you just want IDM in Linux form.

In Europe, these blocks are typically just IP bans, so secure DNS no helpy. You need a VPN or other proxy.

Is mass killing children via deliberate targeting not just like… automatically evidence?

Is it possible to… boot into a LUKS in a LUKS?

For techy people, sure. But in 90% of cases, people moving from Windows are looking for as little a paradigm-shift as they have to endure. I’m sure most regular Linux-users wouldn’t disagree that other distros are cool, but telling someone “use this thing it’s literally nothing like anything you know” is not going to get many takers from the population of people who just want their tech to do everyday stuff.

Honestly as a power user for 10 years I very, very rarely come across a time it’s a good idea to touch anything outside the home directory.

You mean the conflict that literally started with the people of Donetsk and Luhansk taking up arms against a government that was explicitly shutting down their language and implementing outright oppressive laws against their ethnicities?

FWIW, if you’re in Europe, you have guaranteed rights to refund online purchases within a timeframe. I’m assuming they’ve factored that in, but worth knowing if not.

Wayland is the fancy new standard that never seems to stably work for me on any of my machines :( Thanks for letting me revert to X in the login screen, GNOME.

TL;DR: It’ll use a new, more secure key type.

It is a war crime as defined by the UN.

Relevant XKCD

Is the core tenet of FOSS not about depriving any entity monopoly over the means of software production? That’s basically the definition of socialism, as opposed to a fundamental of libertarianism - the incontrovertible holiness of private property.

As much as I also do step 4, to be honest I don’t see people use man anywhere near as much as they should. Whenever faced with the question “what are the arguments for doing xyz”, I immediately man it and just tell them - Practically everywhere you can execute a given command, you can also read full and comprehensive documentation, just look!

I’ve never really heard of alternatives, to be honest. If others are equally easy to use and work with Git, I’d do it. Taking suggestions for alternatives?

I still don’t see how it’s any more confusing than Windows. Cinnamon does it almost exactly the same way as windows, and typically detects network sign-in requirements better. Auto-updates work absolutely fine, and again I’ve not seen them need manual intervention with any more frequency than Windows.
