I have a wireless keyboard. It comes with its own dongle, so you can expect it to work with some generic keyboard driver. I plugged into my USB-hub, works just fine on Linux. No lag, no nothing.

On Windows? Well, it works, but the audio device I have plugged in just straight up refuses to function while the dongle is hooked up as well. It seems to gobble up pretty much the entire bandwidth. Amazing.

There is some phrase involving (symbolic) intercourse and uncovering knowledge describing the sequence of events rather well. What was it again? Have sex and be enlightened? 🤔

When I’m bored, I change how my Plasma looks. Happens once in a while. I would not complain if it ever turns into a “choose global theme | apply global theme” workflow tho.

I mean, it is basically there, except you need to download and apply Kvantum themes.

Literally never had EndeavourOS break in any way.

Last time might have been the GRUB issue that affected all of Arch. If you use GRUB that is, since it’s not the default on EndeavourOS. Next time might be old package repos being shut off, but only if your install is older, plus there’s already the second announcement with simple instructions regarding that on Arch News. Also, it will just block updates.

I’ve put two people without any prior knowledge on EndeavourOS, didn’t hear any complains either. I myself had no prior knowledge in Linux and hopped from Kubuntu to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to Garuda Linux in short succession. I only switched to EndeavourOS after Garuda repeatedly broke. Been on it for 2 years without an issue I think.

I know this is not a representative study and as a computer scientist, I do grasp things quickly, but I strongly oppose the notion that EndeavourOS is not beginner friendly.

The answer my friend is pasta. It’s also something to nibble on if you are bored after your drink. Pasta straws are the best

We’re back to underground railroads, huh?

Cool

Can’t you arrest Musk yourself? He’s just an ordinary billionaire overlord… Kids these days are so lazy 🙄

It means you pay 2500 on the dollar. Get tariffed bitch

On the other hand it massively improves the taxes / military budget ratio. Who needs a functioning _______ when you can have guns?

Maybe other nations should consider giving a tip, to entice them further. Just throwing around ideas

In much of Europe speaking out can get you arrested. Many of us don’t believe in universally free speech, starting at insults and hate speech.

I just reconnect and hope for an unflagged IP lol

Remember aids? Now think about how long it took before a cure was found. (Hint: We might have gotten one just now.)

Monitor monitors the web for leaked credentials you have in Firefox’s password manager. That’s what it’s for. I think it’s quite clear why it would access your sync data

Zen and “mainline” (default/vanilla) are generally fine for “desktop use” and gaming. Zen is basically the mainline kernel with some tweaks. They are mostly concerned with latency, reducing the maximum time a process can spend blocking the processor - among other things.

This can lead to less input lag or a “smoother” desktop experience, but overall performance is as good as mainline at most. Slightly worse in some scenarios.

Hardned is a tradeoff afaik. You will stay behind mainline a bit, but get extra hardening. This can also impact performance, but rarely does in a meaningful way. If you don’t have any specific reason to use it, e.g. you carry it around on a laptop with sensitive data, I would look at other ways to harden my system first (firewall, encryption, access control, anti-virus, sandboxing, VPN…).

Pretty much the same goes for LTS, but with the focus more on stability than security.

RT is only for special applications.

In the US maybe, in the EU? Only if you want to get sued and then forced to re-hire them.

You know there is Matrix, right?
