It might be a remote exploit or it might not. An OS is not just a program that runs in the background, if it is critically important.
These kind of exploiters don’t tend to attack you in particular, they have botnets scanning the web for any compromised machine.
Running windows 10 is fine today, might not be fine after EOL. It is irresponsible to shrug it off and not even consider the alternatives out there, including windows 11.
The desktop environment is called KDE Plasma. Every distribution with KDE will look and feel very similar.
Fedora is a good and safe bet for a distribution.
The problem is that as soon as a security issue is found on windows 10 it won’t be fixed, it is perpetual. In Windows 11 it will probably be fixed before you even know it exists.
I can understand the console being more expensive, especially since we don’t really know its specs yet (or at least I don’t). Why is Mario Kart 30 euros more expensive, tho? It doesn’t paint a good picture.
It’s not just the console prices that have gone up. Console is, 470 euros, Mario Kart is 90 euros, Pro Controller 2 is 90 euros, the SD card is 60 euros, a webcam is 60 euros…
Meanwhile, their competition is getting cheaper every day.
It’s out in the nintendo stores and general retailers are already accepting preorders at the same price. It’s real, Mario Kart is 90 euros. Insane.
When the Switch 1 released there was nothing else on the market like it. Play handheld on the bus, get home, dock it, continue playing in full HD. That is amazing. I didn’t get the Switch 1 because of the exclusives, it was the versatility that got me.
Similar form factor, similar price, similar use case. The big difference is that one plays Nintendo games and another plays PC games.
I own a steam deck, therefore the appeal of a switch 2 is their exclusive games. I don’t need both, they scratch the same itch.
Does gaming work fine in Mint? Is Wayland up and running yet?
I have a friend looking into switching to Linux. Mint feels right but I worry about the wayland migration.
That’s unfortunate :(
Is .dev maintained by the US?
Federation is on their roadmap
Any idea what the price point is going to be?
You can (and should) disable password authentication and force the use of public/private keys. Op did this, seems fine.
SSH is very handy and the industry standard.
You say “easy enough” but there are some serious tradeoffs when removing phone numbers from the equation. My mom can use Signal without my help but she wouldn’t be able to use SimpleX.
Signal is a fantastic middle ground messaging app that is secure enough for me to use and easy enough for my mom to use.
I also have SimpleX but I have exactly 1 contact there…
Honestly, I wouldn’t bother.
Linux is a small market and people who buy exclusively native linux games is even smaller. If your game works fine with Proton that’s great.
You’re a solo dev and should pick your battles. I would focus on getting steam deck verified instead, if possible.
Compared to the software we were using before such as Skype, TeamSpeak, Ventrilo and Mumble… The UI is amazing.
I’d happily move to Matrix but I’d lose all the servers for my hobby interests. No point in having both.
I use Linux exclusively but I don’t think it’s relevant to the discussion.
I would rather use windows 11 than any other EOL version of windows. I loved windows XP when it came out, wouldn’t dare to use it today.
