Ad blockers are useful for more than just YouTube. So they are not going anywhere. However it will be a bummer if we can no longer block YouTube ads.

On android I have to endure the ads but on desktop I never see them.

Nope. Apple only.

I'm switching to iPhone because Google has let Android languish for years now. Samsung does more for android than Google does for goodness sake.

Apple users get fun and cool updates which is why they love it. Plus best in class photos and videos so they can share photos with friends and family with confidence, as opposed to android which has shit cameras and even shittier video.

Wait for the distro to officially release an upgrade path. Only do a fresh install if it doesn't work.

On Windows however whenever I would get a new pc in which I was prepping for staff(I worked in IT) the first thing I'd do after unboxing it is a wipe of the factory Windows install and do a clean install with the latest ISO from Microsoft.

No bloatware, network managers, anti virus etc nonsense. We had all of our own stuff for that which applied via Group Policy anyway.

HP is in the extortion business now....

That's is the genuine one. There is a genuine company called Exodus for Crypto. The problem is that a scammer made their own clone and nobody verified whether they really are from the Exodus company.

If you check the manifest on Flathub you'll see they verified it belongs to the real Exodus

 

A Bitcoin investor was recently scammed out of 9 Bitcoin (worth around $490K) in a fake “Exodus wallet” desktop application for Linux, published in the Canonical Snap Store. This isn’t the first time; if nothing changes, it likely won’t be the last.

No offence but I don't think this phone will be any good in a few years because of the CPU choice.

If it's already sluggish now, what will it be like in 5 years? Unusable.

Max is a good driver but the car is super easy to drive as well and is the fastest on the grid.

Shumi never had the best car on the grid and they were harder to drive. Competition was fiercer so his 50 were alot harder to achieve.

At this point Max is probably half asleep in the car because it's so easy to drive.

No way. That's another Corporation backed distro. Most of the Devs are also Red Hat employees

This. This is what really pissed me off about Ubuntu. I even uninstalled (or thought I did) the entire snapd system. But then I went to install something and.....it reinstalled snapd. 🤦

So I moved to Linux Mint which was an excellent experience. And just the other day I replaced that with LMDE 6 (Linux Mint Debian Edition) and I couldn't be happier.

It's the ideal distro for anyone who wants apt but not Ubuntu and doesn't want the pain of manually installing Debian.

I recommend Mint as it's overall a fantastic distro. Better than the majority. And it's not just for beginners. It's full blown Linux so it can do anything.

They have an XFCE version so try that too, as well as the MATE version. All 3 desktops are quite light.

I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu and it's flavours simply because they have Snaps so deeply embedded now it will spoil your experience.

MX-Linux is also a great distro and quite light. Antix is even lighter and maintained by the same team as MX.

Opensuse is always a great choice, and their KDE implementation is quite good. So if you want KDE try opensuse Leap. (Don't use tumbleweed on a Mac because the proprietary drivers for Mac tend to break with frequent updates).

I'm running Mint on my 2012 Mini and it works great. Tried a few others but I find Mint the best.
