  • I see this misconception all the time about Fedora Atomic distros. You can actually install any normal package available through the included repos, or add your own repo (rpm-ostree install $pkg). DNF can be used to add a repo from a URL and then you just use rpm-ostree install $pkg . It is really that simple.

    The reason you aren’t supposed to is that it makes the system diverge from the default image by overlaying the package. Still though, Fedora Atomic is just Fedora but container images for updates.

    Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu Linux. Make sure you are using a .deb which is meant for Ubuntu (or Debian). Laptop is Desktop, as in they are the same OS.

    Either double-click the .deb file and click the install button.

    Alternatively you might be able to right-click to get a context menu and click install from there.

    Last option, you could install the .deb from the terminal app. Open the terminal, type cd ~/Downloads (if the file is in your Downloads folder), then type sudo dpkg -i ./EXPRESSVPN.deb (replace EXPRESSVPN with the exact file name), press enter and type your password.

    All these install options do the same thing.

    Don’t worry about CPU architectures. If you dont know what that is, then ypu dont need to worry. If the .deb has x86, x64, or amd64, that is tbe right file. If it doesnt say anything then just choose the normal .deb.



  • Maybe? But in reality the stat changes are to do with an influx of Chinese players that happens every year around this time. The vast majority of Chinese players use Windows.

    Also I had a friend try Linux, and while it isnt all sunshine and rainbows (and he is about the furthest from an IT guy i can think it), he gets a solid 40+ FPS more than Windows 10. I am not forcing him to use, he just defaults to it now because shit is way smoother, and the alternative is using W11 which can legit brick your SSD (not worth it in this economy).

    Also, I really don’t understand being attached to software or developing a personality around it. If Linux doesnt serve my needs I’ll simple use FreeBSD (or HardenedBSD). If that doesn’t work, I hope by that point RedoxOS is mature. Etc for any software.
