Step 1. Don’t.
If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.
Step 1. Don’t.
Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles… The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.
Copy the file and paste it into anywhere you can enter text… you get the path to the file as text.
I see one sponsor link, no other ads.
Choose your browser extensions, choose your browsing experience.
And the outlets don’t make the connection that their readers are telling them to stop shoveling AI-generated garbage at them?
Brave essentially has done this all along.
I do exactly this with a SteamDeck and USB-C docking station… with the added bonus that I can pull it out of the dock and take it with me to use as a hand-held when I travel.
I use traditional packages and Flatpaks… with “user apps” being preferred as Flatpak. This is potentially safer as the OS itself can’t be affected by installing or removing these applications, and also can mitigate dependency hell as apps that require different versions of the same dependency can coexist peacefully, with each one using its own bundled version of that dependency.
I also have a couple of appimages that aren’t available as a Flatpack, and I’ll simply find an alternative to anything that is only distributed as a Snap due to the performance issues, mount clutter, and proprietary nature of the Snap distribution back-end.
You were using a niche distro maintained by a single person and encountered problems? Shocking.
To be fair, I used Nobara myself for a bit until I got tired of suffering from the problems GE was creating himself. But regardless, experience on something like Nobara is not a fair way to evaluate Gnome. Try it on actual Fedora or something else mainstream that isn’t constantly fuckering around with all kinds of shit and breaking stuff.
I really want to switch to Linux as my main gaming/production OS but need the Adobe suite
That’s not a hurdle… that’s a wall.
If your livelihood depends on running a Windows-only application, run it on a Windows computer.
You are, of course, free to also have a Linux computer for everything else. Use a KVM switch to toggle between them, or something like Synergy or Barrier to pass the mouse/keyboard/clipboard between both PCS. Share the storage between them over your network.
Can it be done? Yes.
Can it be done in a reliable way that you can depend on to always just work when you need it? No.
If you are completely dependent on Adobe products for your livelihood, you should not plan to work exclusively on Linux.
Maybe if there was a controllable delay on the teleporter…
NOTIFICATION: Your boss has entered the teleporter buffer. Allow materialization? [YES] [NO] [ASK ME AGAIN LATER]
The portion of managers which don’t actually contribute anything to productivity don’t have much to do if everyone is at home.
You leave a voicemail by calling someone that doesn’t answer.
Blocking the call at your phone is just not answering.
Use something like Google’s Call Screening that actually answers numbers not in your contacts so they don’t get the opportunity to leave a voicemail.
That’s essentially what Call Screening does if the number has been reported as spam enough times.
By the time enough longevity data has been collected to be really useful, obsolescence is becoming a factor. And even if the same model number is still being sold, the hardware inside may have changed and all of the data may not be directly relevant.
Sticking with a reputable product line and assuming that past performance is relevant doesn’t always help, either… I remember the Deskstar Deathstar drives fiasco, and got bit hard by it.
HDDs are for cheap, not for reliable. Anecdotal, but my personal failure rate with HDDs is around 98% while my failure rate with all forms of flash media (including SSDs) is around 2%.
With 1 TB SSDs being available for as little as $20 (not particularly fast ones but still far faster than HDDs), I don’t see a use-case for HDDs at all unless you need dozens of TBs of storage.
There have been cases of malware exploiting scripts and even images being displayed, whether directly hosted on the site or via compromised ads.
Do you have any antivirus recomendations for Linux.
Install all applications from your package manager.
Don’t run things as root.
Don’t visit sketchy websites.
Run an ad-blocker that isn’t owned by an advertising company.
X1 for ultra portability.
Otherwise, T14 or T15.
