Thx for the tip. I just got a 5x FPS boost in a very poorly optimized sim game “war at sea” thing was chugging along at 5-6 fps when lots of ships were on the screen. Was maxing out all 32 threads on my 5950x. Now it’s running a cool 20% utilization.

Thx for the tip, will give it a try.

I got it from the protonup app that is pre installed.

Its both

It uses an atomic update system on an immutable base. They don’t refer to the same thing, but you sort of need the one when you use the other for it to make sense.

Linux Mint is the windows 7 experience of linux. It gets out of the way so you can work. It also has the best in-OS help tools. It’s also a bit more conservative in terms of newest features, so it’s a lot more reliable.

If she does PC gaming, you might want to look at Bazzite rather than Mint. It’s a lot better equipped for non-technical people to start gaming. It’s basically a preconfigured Fedora linux, so it’s got a solid foundation. It’s also something called an immutable distro, which basically means it’s more difficult to break as the core OS is “read only” (to simplify).

In terms of migrating, best to avoid dual booting off a single disk. Microsoft keeps breaking Linux installs (probably on purpose). So best to install a second SSD.

Before you migrate, have her make a list of software she uses and the hardware she has. Best to post that on a forum like this to have more experienced people look for possible issues.

When it gets to migration day, if bitlocker is disabled, you can access your windows data from linux.

Also get her on Lemmy and asking questions directly. The best thing you can teach a low tech person is how to get help.

Yep, Bazzite has been great for me on my gaming PC. Never going back.

You can plug your system into a free platform like opensolar, which allows you to play with the design to see what the effect of upgrades would be during the course of the year.

They have better idle efficiency, but if your PC is not on and idle 24/7 for some reason, AMD is more efficient.

Just for interest. Why did you buy Intel in the first place. I don’t know about many use cases where Intel is the superior option.

Graylog might be worth a look

Natural stupidity, enhanced by artificial intelligence.

That’s the scary stuff

Incorrect. They just know that the fake financial system is not linked to anything fundamental. That is what is going to collapse taking retirement savings with it.

It might be worth making a bid for legislation that requires that the public give up privacy to the government, those in government must make the same information public.

If they can read my messages, I should be able to read theirs.

Bitlocker is a good thing that should be the default for windows users.

But not telling the user, not giving them the choice and switching it on without their knowledge, is super scummy.

But your isp modem will have total access to your local devices.

I like this

Why would you need to expose SSH for everyday use? Or does Jellyfin require it to function?

Maybe leave that behind some VPN access.

You have it the wrong way round. SpaceX’s accomplishments are impressive despite Elon.

I think they are just using AI to put a positive spin on it. They know hard times are ahead and they need to reduce headcounts to preserve cash.

The free option is not sustainable and does not reward the correct customer/business relationship.

I’m with you, paying is better than supporting the Ad business.

I just wish YouTube did not treat paying customers like criminals with the app based restrictions.
