does elon only hire chip from sales guy vs web dude or something

technically they had them then they went away then they kinda came back and now they're fully supported again (and i say this as someone who loves firefox/fennec on android :))

seriously i just deleted windows and put mint on my laptop (which is only like from 2020ish) and it runs better than it ever did on windows

sounds like an easy choice

hmm, i'll check that; i found this which works well since the actual linux client of globalprotect is locked behind a paywall. i didn't have a config from work, just a url to connect to and then i log in via 365.

so far things have gone well; i haven't replaced windows at all yet but everything i could do in windows i could do in debian 12 (using gnome). except for fork :(. heroic, steam, and lutris can run plenty of games though.

i think the only thing that didn't work was when i tried it on my desktop which has two aoc monitors.

edit: deciding to go with mint actually because it looks nicer and i like the community. also the dev is irish :]

edit 2: oh also disable bitlocker first :^

I used liveboot for debian and it worked great! obviously didn't save anything on reboot since it's just a USB but I connected to WiFi, got my browser, used 1password, and even found a Linux openvpn app for openconnect for work that actually works. just need to check so my cam and microphone works for zoom :)

im more concerned with things like Internet not working or drivers or w/e since it's my first time trying thats all I know the actual os would be better!

i took my first step today and got a usb drive so i can live boot mint and see how it runs so i can maybe install over windows on my laptop :)

edit~ hiiiii

a screenshot of the system info panel for mint :)

Seeding (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Is there any downside to leaving something seeding indefinitely? Typically I just leave all my torrents seeding whenever I'm done 24/7 (whenever the VPN is on) but is there any detrimental issues to seeding too much?

It doesn't bother me I was just curious if there was ever a such thing as too much seeding since I have like 20+ things seeding and maybe one thing downloading.

Speed isn't an issue since I have gigabit internet.

It's wild how much today's anti trans hate and politics mirrors this. :(

probably a long shot but are there any lightweight alternatives to windows file explorer for 2024?

i'm stuck on windows for now until the time comes to grab a new laptop. so sick of the default one in windows 11 though.
