Well, I have AMD too and I haven’t encounter either of them… so far. Hope it stays that way.

I too can easily recommend Tumbleweed. Very nice distro on its own.

Well, it might be totally stupid advice, but can’t plain simple VLC fit in?

It’s ugly AF and totally breaks the concept. At least that’s what I think about it.

Does it really have plexi/glass side/top? Why on Earth?

You sure you mean exiting? Or exciting?

It’s supposed to be extremely buggy as I’ve heard. Can’t comment much more on that, except fpr this snippet. Maybe it’s fixed now, maybe even for long time, but I wouldn’t trust it just like that after what I’ve heard.

Best of luck with encryption on there. Everyone I know tell me NOT to use nextclouds encryption.

Bitwarden client is FOSS same as Keepass, though. Why aren’t you afraid of Keepass having backdoor by “insert whatever big corporation sponsoring FOSS” giving said companies free access to your passwords you happily store in their clouds?

Dude, how is bitwarden hosting your own, locally encrypted (in FOSS client) password database any different than using keypass and syncing it however you want?

I don’t even use Bitwarden myself, I’m using keepass too, but this attitude is … weird?

Trusting one FOSS client good. Trusting different FOSS client bad. Logic where?

Any idea what should I get for my NAS then? I’ve been looking at Lexar NM790 as one of the contenders, others being Seagate Firecuda 530 and WD RED SN700. My target is 2TB not too expensive nvme drive.

Yep, I meant U series, which (at least where I live) were covering vast majority of the market. There was occasional HQ here and there, but not that often. AMDs offerings at the time were mediocre and nobody really used them so for me, that era basically overlaps with Intel U series hegemony when speaking about laptop cpus.

I mean mainstream processors of that age. Even regular i7s of 7th gen were just dual cores with HT.

Ah, so there won’t be overflow of big bussiness 8th gen laptops… Nevermind, I’d still avoid 7th gen myself.

If I were to buy used laptop, I’d want 8th gen or newer because that’s where intel finally made more than dual core for mobile.

“You should definitely try LFS, it’s great and you’ll have exactly what you want!”

“Arch btw! Customize everything and no bloat, hurr durr!”

“NixOS is the future, go for it!”

Not stupid, she’s definitely not stupid. It’s that everyone has their own quirks maybe? And different expectations.

I’m a lazy fuck. That’s why I use openSUSE Tumbleweed myself that has snapper preconfigured. I roll updates once I have time/will, sometimes twice a week, sometimes multiple months between. It’s fucking solid! And even if it breaks, it’s couple minutes to get it back to working condition and then I wait a week and next update is fine. This is the best!

I have a colleague. She doesn’t like Windows (more like she doesn’t like MS spying), has a laptop with Ubuntu, but she also doesn’t like change.

This put her in weird situation, when she still has PC with Windows 7, outdated firefox and complains youtube is borked all the time. And once she moves to laptop, there’s old Ubuntu (more than couple major releases old) which was never updated, because “she liked it that way”. Guess what? Similar problems.

I told her many times that if she wanted carefree linux experience, she should update it once in a while, there’s no evil MS behind it, but no. She never updates because reasons. She rather visit some obscure website that presents some terminal commands she doean’t understand, but copy them over anyway and voila… the linux is in even worse state than before.

That’s why linux is not hotfix for everything.
