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.

That’s why I put it in quotes. Being able to view the RAM usage is useful though. Best of luck with resolving your issue.

I wasn’t denying the fact that you’re experiencing this issue, but since this is the first I’ve heard of something this bad in my 3 years of using GrapheneOS, this does appear to be a fairly unique case.

Provided you are using an otherwise well-functioning and currently supported device (and not an emulator), and that you are using a stable release installed via an official method (and there were no install issues), your best bet would be to ask for help in one of the community chats or forums: https://grapheneos.org/contact#community

You will be asked to share which device you are using though, which you did not seem comfortable doing in the post you linked to.

Unrelated, but I learned about the Android “task manager” (Running Services) from that post of yours, so thanks for sharing that.

I’m the complete opposite with respect to wanting all of those apps and features built into the OS, but I understand that’s what most people seem to want, which is largely why iPhones are so popular.

To me, all of that built-in stuff is bloatware that I have to remove just so I can use whichever software I want.

I’ll take a bit of jank if it means I have the freedom to do what I want on my device (and choose a device with the specs that matter to me within my budget). That’s why so many people are upset at this news.

The Apple ecosystem is perfectly suitable for the needs you described, and it’s not something Google will be able to match due to their lack of a real competitor in the desktop OS market. Microsoft had their chance with the Windows Phone but, knowing Windows, I doubt it would ever have had the same level of polish as iOS.

Also running GrapheneOS (on an older phone) and this is not something I’ve ever experienced, nor seen as an issue in the forums.

I’m glad they work for you, but I would not buy these purely because of the pseudoscience nonsense, regardless of how comfortable they are.
