For rollbacks, I’ve been using Timeshift in Mint, and it has worked brilliantly.

I wonder why nobody has created a simple gui for Nixconfig.

I don’t use CasaOS, I don’t know the use case, or anything else, but the only right answer to “will try to limit data collection” is Fuck you.

That’s one of the beauties of Linux, if you need something else than want you can probably get another distro that suits your needs. OP was asking about newbies. I set up Mint for my mom. I can guarantee that she won’t change.

My son on the other hand distro hops.

Oh, FLAT hub!

I do SMB support, so I have a pretty good idea of what people tend to do.

I haven’t seen a PS brick catch fire (possible, OFC, but extremely rare in my opinion) i have seen a PC PSU catch fire, and because of the fan, it’s fucking scsry, like a jet with the afterburner.

Replacement is usually removing 6-10 screws and prying the case with a guitar pick or old credit card. There is most likely a disassembly video on youtube. Batteries from aliexpress or the like are usually cheap (although probably more expensive than the computer). Depending on the application, the “built-in UPS” can be nice.

I would need your password to be able to replicate, as well as your mother’s maiden name, city of birth and first pet’s name.

I use zoom several times a week, and have had to revert to windows several times because development lags behind win/mac, and for some reason my org has a fixation on trying new features, useful or not.

Ages ago I used to use Webmin. I have no clue as how it stacks up to others nowadays.

You can specify the virtualization engine in VirtualBox, including KVM.

A couple of easy virtualization tools that allow you to create VMs in a few clicks are Gnome Boxes and QuickEmu, which leverages Qemu and KVM

Not normal, you are a weirdo.

I use W11 bloat edition, BTW

I think they may be British, and want those who wish to criticize to for a queue

As a diving instructor once told me, Air is overrated.

I replace ARCH with Windows 11 bloat edition. I use windows 11 BTW

have switched to HopToDesk, a rust desk fork. It’s supposed to be les fuckeddy

Or have ADHD, You’ll be all over the place every 5 minutes.

I was a partner at a Bio vegetable farm. As part of the business I was in contact with over 100 vegetarian /vegan restaurants (our main customers).

Early on I learned, from the owner of one of the oldest vegetarian restaurants in the business in our area, 20+ old (the restaurant) , that Vegetarianism is a dietary choice, veganism a cult.

I do Keto. When going out, or eating at someone’s, I do not make a fuss. If spaghetti is on the menu, I’ll eat it. My choice is not the others burden.

Also, use Arch.

Actually not. They CAN be repaired, but are a nightmare of soldered and glued shit. The only apple thing I own (Linux/Android/Win user) is an iPad, which admittedly is a sweet performer, and iPads are just plain better tablets, but no way I’m cracking it open. I’ve replaced Android screens, repaired laptops, but fuck apple. Not because of danger, but because breakage is almost guaranteed on newer stuff.

BS. Just drain capacitors. I’ve repaired a few (worthwhile ones) by replacing caps. You just need to know how. As with anything, read up.
