How to Avoid US-Based Digital Services—and Why You Might Want To
Amid growing concerns over Big Tech firms aligning with Trump administration policies, people are starting to move their digital lives to services based overseas. Here's what you need to know.
no longer safe
it never was and simply changing who you trust doesn't mitigate that risk in the slightest.
Please excuse my rudeness. But people who, right now, after all that has happened; buy a new PC with windows pre installed. I mean…. How fucking retarded can you be.
I know that Linux sucks. I’m suffering throug it at the moment. But I’m getting there! It just takes patience. Fuck windows and everything American.
Linux doesn't suck. What sucks is using anything new after using something else for years. As a long time Linux user I am used to its idiosyncrasies and having to use Windows or Mac is painful.
What about Linux is hard for you? I switched and barely noticed any difference, honestly. Even installing it was easy... Even my printer works and I was expecting to have to go back to wires for that lol.
My problems that I haven’t managed to fix/are unfixable on Linux Mint.
-unfixable - no fractional UI resizing that works. If I use the experimental UI sizing it starts tearing and also locks 60hz. I could resize stuff manually but then some other stuff would still be wrong size.
-fixable but not with my skill - audio randomly starts playing static and then is gone until next restart. Messed around with googling and AI-ing for a few hours but still broken. No idea if it has something to do with Dolby Atmos.
I would be really glad if tomorrow these problems would randomly be gone. I actually love how snappy and clean everything is.
Same here, a few years ago I made the switch and never regretted it (from Mac, not Windows though) ;)
It's not perfect, but neither was macOS (or Windows) so I'm OK with that.
I have no major problems. I have many many small annoyances that take ages and many DuckDuckGo searches to solve. One example is the keyboard lighting. I use OpenRGB and installed the udev rules but the program still claims I didn’t install the udev rules. So I have to manually set the profile every time I unlock my computer. The profile doesn’t get saved and doesn’t get automatically applied at start up.
My speaker doesn’t get recognised while my controller and headphones do.
I have to enter my WiFi password every time I log into my PC. „Authentication required“.
Gaming works fine. Modding sucks. No mods work on steam, my Rimworld (admittedly over 100 mods) doesn’t boot up. On windows it works.
And so on.
Makes it kinda hard to love the OS to me.
