Oh god, I got Murena (LineageOS distro). How does one install that onto a ThinkPad T480..

For devices I need to be productive on, I have LMDE 6. It is rock solid being based on stable Debian, but with the niceties you expect from Mint.

For my gaming PC, I've got Bazzite on it and so far so good. Just used it for entertainment and gaming but if I were doing coding or app development I'd either have to adjust how I do that to suit an atomic distro, or I'd just use LMDE as I feel I have easier control of what I'm doing on there

Its pedantic and distracts from the real conversation happening. I've always considered "stock" to mean how the device ships from the factory (that's how the term is used in the automobile world), whereas I would think it fair to consider AOSP a standard, it's something you can compare other ROMs against.

Regardless of mine or anyone else's opinion, we're just ultimately wanting to talk about how GrapheneOS is much closer to the clean and uncluttered experience AOSP offers

This might be for the better, but Discord was so infuriating about updates and forcing you to download them what felt like 50% of the time I opened it, I gave up and just use it in Ungoogled Chromium now. I'm pretty sure within a few months I ended up having 15+ debs of Discord in my Downloads folder.

For anyone else trying to use the native Discord app on Debian, I think they'll find this a major treat.

It truly baffles me how teachers could morally justify that. I would immediately think "Wait, if I make my students buy my textbook for the unit, I'm just fleecing them and they have no choice in the matter." and you would naively hope that anyone else would also feel the same way.

First pass reading the title I thought it read "Still getting dumber lately?" And I'm just like "Yup!"

I like that it doesn’t detract from the original mood. I also appreciate the remaster of the washing machine model, it really needed it.

That all being said, it’s also amazing that those 20 year old graphics still don’t look half bad.

The digital sign the local university has is powered by a Raspberry Pi - I caught it rebooting while driving past

God I can only imagine spoonkid reading this sponsor out and it wouldn't even sound off

While I'm far from being a sysadmin I'm in the same boat. Main study laptop is Linux but I just end up using Windows on my gaming PC for the same reasons.

I think this is a bad take, a take that assumes one is superior for using Linux over proprietary alternatives

I got a server from ewaste because the RAID card did fail and having SAS drives they couldn't even pull data from it with anything else. It was the domain controller and NAS so as you can imagine, very disruptive to the business. As they should they had an offsite backup of the system and so we just restored onto a gaming PC as a temporary solution until we moved them to M365 instead.

I just use software RAID on it now and so far so good for about 180 days.
