Given the influence of both Israel and the US president, I cannot help but suspect that there is an intention behind this.
Not to mention the large number of Israelis (often former Mossad/intelligence agents) directly involved in US tech companies.


Yeah I doubt that’s the issue on a PC with 64GB RAM.


Dopamine
I sank a few hundred hours over many different characters into Skyrim. Still never finished the main quest line.


I need a tasks app that somehow fixes this problem.


That would be great for those 11 people.


I think the majority of people use it to (unreliably) solve tedious problems or spit out a whole bunch of text that they can’t be bothered to write.
While ChatGPT has been intentionally designed to be as friendly and conversational as possible, I hope most people do not see it as something to have a meaningful conversation with instead of as just a tool that can talk.
Anecdotally, whenever I see someone mention using ChatGPT as part of their decision-making process it is usually taken less seriously, if not outright laughed at.


Exactly. This title is just clickbait.
The actual study’s title is “Resolution limit of the eye — how many pixels can we see?”.


Oh yeah there’s definitely a bit of effort involved, but most distros have very similar directory setups, so it’s often just a matter of copying across the relevant folders, with the “home” folder being the one that typically contains most or all of your user data.
Being able to test run distros off a USB drive is a great (and easy) way to see if it might be for you without making any sort of commitment.
Another option is to install the distro to a second hard drive so you have a more permanent environment to test it. I’ve done this before, and when I was content that I wanted to switch to it I just copied all my stuff across.


Thank you very much!
I’m glad it was at least about something fairly trivial.


Any chance you remember what that one edit war was about?


These are all pretty easy to answer with a search, but here’s some info to get you started:
Does Linux have a windows GUI?
Lots of distros are similar to Windows in many ways. Some are specifically geared towards Windows-to-Linux migrants, or trying to be as close to Windows as possible. They are all much more customisable than Windows too, so you can change it to whatever works for you.
Linux Mint is often recommended to newcomers. Zorin OS is another good option that is more like Windows.

Do all the steam games have Linux compatability?
No, but compatibility is constantly improving and more developers are natively supporting Linux.
Game compatibility list: https://www.protondb.com/
Also, Windows app compatibility list (though many Linux app alternatives are better than their Windows counterparts IMO): https://appdb.winehq.org/
Is there a Linux version of Windows Defender?
Windows is far less secure, and targeted by much more malware due to it’s market share.

Many Linux users don’t bother with antivirus software at all, but yes, there are plenty of options available.


Great thing about Linux is you can change your distro whenever you want.
If you’re uncertain, or not ready to go through the process just yet, you can always just boot Bazzite off a USB drive and play around with it for now.


As someone who was in your exact position several years ago, nice!
I’d recommend Linux Mint to newcomers though. It’s based on Ubuntu and is even easier to get comfortable with (much better GUI for updates and app “store”), but it strips out all the Microsoft-like stuff that Canonical have been doing in recent years.
Pop!_OS (also based on Ubuntu) and Bazzite are also meant to be beginner friendly, and are particularly geared towards gaming on Linux, especially the latter.


“I intended to do it, but I could not force myself to do it.”
Genuinely envious of how understanding the people in your life are if this wasn’t simply met with anger, frustration, resentment etc.


Non-expert opinion: it’s dangerous.


I guess it depends on the specific apps we use. Some can be pretty massive, but I have heaps of APKs that are <30MB, and even several that are <1MB.
Maybe a couple of large enough apps could be the issue if you always have them open, or if they are running services on your phone.


Yeah that unfortunately seems to be the only option if you don’t want to completely reset your device or remove apps one at a time to find the culprit. And there’s no guarantee either of those will work anyway.
I’ve actually found a small number other users reporting a similar issue, though dev responses all seem to believe the issue is likely caused by apps rather than the OS. The fact that the issue is exclusive to GrapheneOS doesn’t appear to have swayed them into looking into it unfortunately.
If I were in your position I’d probably use the Auto Reboot setting so at least you don’t have to do it manually every day. It reboots after a specified number of hours without an unlock, so it’s ideal for when you’re asleep.
Tesla is number 1 for deaths AND accidents. Toyota is not in the top 5 for either.
