IoT is supported until January 2032, while standard LTSC is only supported until January 2027, which only, like, an extra year or so of support over regular Windows 10. I’ve never heard anything about IoT being less secure but I’m far from being an expert lol.

Am I having a stroke, or is this headline horrendously written?

At last, the Year of the Linux Desktop.

NVIDIA’s Debian repo for Cuda has more up to date GPU drivers, if you don’t wanna manually install from the .run file. Documentation here, its not reflected yet in the docs but there’s a Debian 12 repo.

I’m also on NVIDIA, I tried the Plasma 6 Alpha last night (on KDE neon unstable) and to my utter shock, Wayland was pretty goddamn close to flawless.

LibRedirect works for not only redirecting YouTube to Invidious (or Piped if you prefer) but also for alternative front ends for other services, like Nitter for Twitter.

It has the brand recognition of being “the” Linux distro, even though it doesn’t deserve that title these days (if it ever did at all).

Found a PDF of the complaint from another article, which says “since at least January 2023” on page 15, so, take that as you will.

Damn, I have one of these that I use a lot for work, it’s been pretty reliable so far, but this makes me think I should get something else to replace it…

Who would’ve thought that an incredibly dubious claim to “ownership” of a JPEG image would fall in value so dramatically?

“Surely all the people who share subscriptions because they can’t all afford 25 streaming services will each get their own accounts if we block password sharing, as opposed to just not using our services any more!”

Yep, pretty much. If your system works, no need to change it.

The biggest advice I can give is to start with something like, as has been mentioned, Linux Mint, but also, don’t buy into the idea that you eventually need to move to a more “advanced” distro. If Mint, or wherever you wind up, works for you, and you have no compelling reason to switch, then don’t. All Linux is Linux, so to speak, the only things that distinguish distros are packages/package managers, default settings/configurations, and pre-installed programs. There’s nothing preventing you from eventually becoming a power-user on a “noob-friendly” distro, if that’s something you desire in the first place.

Do…do people really think Microsoft is stupid enough to kill off non-cloud based Windows? There are a lot of Windows users who, for either performance reasons, lack of reliable internet, etc. who would never get good use out of a cloud version. Microsoft is more than aware of this and there is no way in hell they’d shoot themselves in the foot like this.
