Just seemed like a more appropriate fit. As I’m sure we’ve all thought about good ol’ JD eating house pets whilst in the shower. When we aren’t thinking about sultry couches, anyways.

I see we’re doing some better numbers over here in showerthoughts!
Showerthoughts maybe?
Software-wise, it seems that the relatively fast adoption of flatpaks and other containerized formats somewhat solves the typical dependency hell that was so common in Linux just a few years back (and to some extent still is an issue today depending on your distro and use case). The hardware support side is a little harder. That’s going to be up to vendors to play nice with the Kernel team and/or introduce reasonable userland software that doesn’t break the golden rule. Until Linux gets more market share the latter isn’t likely to happen. A nice side benefit of the emergence of immutable and/or atomic distros is that users can play around and try things with much lower risk of bricking their systems, so I’d also consider that a step closer in the “it just works” department.
Alright, where’s my replacement once my current Fitbit dies? What company makes a watch that tracks steps, heart rate, sleep, spO2, notifications, is generally water resistant (light swimming) and has a battery that lasts ~5+ days? Bonus points for open firmware/hardware that doesn’t require me to design my own apps/systems for each of those items. I don’t even use most of what my Versa 3 can do, but I know it won’t last forever and I’d at least like an idea of where to go if/when it breaks down.
On windows the article mentioned being a microcode patch via Windows update. Linux would be similar- but via a kernel update most likely. I’d assume that a general BIOS update would also do the trick, but then you’re relying on motherboard vendors and it’s unlikely many would provide such an update to older hardware, even if it’s still widely used.
Difficult to exploit, already in the process of being patched. Truly, the most breaking of news.
I think they meant it as “once infected may be impossible to disinfect.” But it sure doesn’t read that way at first glance.
Here’s my vote for Bazzite. If your use case is simple computing and games? I don’t know if you can do much better.
Even with nvme drives which supposedly “don’t need” to use BFQ, I STILL always swap it since it maintains responsiveness across the system during heavy IO loads. I used to have similar full system freezes when downloading steam games which notoriously overload your IO in Linux. BFQ was the solution every single time.
Edit Try following the instructions detailed in this post to add a systemd rule to set the scheduler: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1009577/selecting-a-linux-i-o-scheduler
The second answer that shows an actual rules.d file example has always worked for me. If using nvme or old school spinning rust you’ll need to change it up a bit. Instead of “noop” set it to “BFQ”.
Try swapping to BFQ io scheduler and see if that makes a difference.
I’m going to assume it’s not Universal Blue… But parts of your description reminded me of it.
I have personal experience with BTRFS and Windows. And that experience is that it’s roughly as stable/complete as NTFS is for Linux. 6 of one and a half dozen the other. I can’t recommend either situation for guaranteed stability long term between systems if one really needs to swap between the OS’s frequently while accessing all the same files.
I can vouch for Bazzite. Been running it on my desktop and laptop (both amd gpu’s) with virtually no issues or hiccups. The desktop is even dual boot, despite that not being advised.
Maybe not too helpful, but could point you in the right direction: you used to be able to use “gksudo” to get the graphical popup requesting your password in lieu of sudo which would only ask for a password in terminal. I believe gksudo is deprecated/non-existent at this point but there’s got to be an alternative out there. Best of luck!
Same boat as you. The HOA maintains a pathway in a wetlands reserve right behind the residential area and it costs less than $20/mo.
They don’t really care what you do besides the following: no farm animals/chickens, no structural changes to the homes without a licensed contractor performing the construction, shoot an email to the HOA if you’re going to replace your roof or repaint your house to keep SOME level of uniformity.
Mostly they don’t care. Hell, the CC&R’s and HOA incorporation docs literally say they won’t directly enforce things against you and leave it up to the neighbors to take you to court with the HOA docs/agreements as free ammo. So if you explicitly want to be a menace to your neighbors/piss people off or want to have the only bright ass neon pink home with custom additions in the entire neighborhood - probably not the place for you. Otherwise they’ve had no effect on myself or my neighbors whatsoever and the wetlands/park is really nice.
