Our typing class in high school was this teacher spouting nonsense letter combos and us following those dqyvafter day until we had covered home row , upper and lower, then moving onto coping sentences. Reptitiion works. Find your home row dimples on the key board then today is fjf fjf fjf fjf fjf fjf, tomorrow is another

If you browse the webs so many people with “Help my drive is full of snapshots, what do I do?”. If there is a failure mode people will find it. Whereas a curated distro is OOTB ready to go without user intervention.

The technicality is, it’s not a replay of somebodies content with changes, it’s “Hey look at me reacting to another’s content”

My daughter was in a state searching all over before she left the house, when I asked what she was looking for, she said “my phone”. My other daughter piped up " you have it to your ear, you are talking on it"

You can assign auto snapshots or create on demand, but whether or not you have a maintenance tool that does scrub, cleaning whatever is another story. I guess my point was something that has Btrfs as default install will also have some curation around the tools that optimize that system

Fedora, like OpenSUSE that has btrfs by default, should be running scheduled scripts to do scrub, maintenance and dump old snapshots (either by number of snapshots or by age) on its own. Others having issue with btrfs are probably manually setting it up and not knowing the options or don’t have scripts that run on the back end. Having said that I do notice the partitions suggested for root are highly conservative, I usually add 30% on top of suggested root size and haven’t had issues in 7+ years

Fair, I mean I have done that too, and would not recommend LOL

If you happen to choose OpenSUSE, the " install recommends " will detect nVidia and load some drivers to get it working, but you can also add a specific repo nVidia hosts for Leap and Tumbleweed and download the Drivers / Cuda etc. They work great, so ignore the previous commentor. Laptops with dual GPU need you to setup a switching app to save power, when you don’t need to power the nVidia. If your BIOS has a discrete graphics mode selection, you can choose hybrid, but if your OS has trouble you can set it to discrete only so nVidia is always used. I had to do this on one machine because the OS saw the two GPUs and was trying to treat them has two displays instead of one composite display choice

If you are on something like openSUSE, nVidia hosts a repo just for OpenSUSE Leap ams Tumbleweed, and that’s exactly where you get them from, and they work.

The USA just looks more like a bowl of shit every single day.

There are a few distros that make gaming on Linux a bit simpler to setup. Bazzite is one, but there are others. You should read up on WINE, Vulkan, Lutris and maybe STEAM/Steam-tricks. There is a list somewhere of game titles and peoples success with gaming on Linux. Some of the ones that expect Windows Anticheat hooks aren’t going to work. If you aren’t wanting to fiddle till your system is setup to game nicely, there is a W10 LTSC version that will still be supported for some time.

I just use tr command and specify the swap from " " to "-” so much simpler than complex apps

Then it should be at the phone level. Setting of: blur photos from unknown contacts.

All this google function has done is get parents in trouble with the law and closed google accounts when telehealth doctors have asked for pictures of their kids rashes for diagnosis

I don’t think about suicide, but when my wife asks "aren’t you sad you will die one day? . I’m like “no, sad for the kids, but I will be dead, I won’t know and I won’t have to work in the morning–So that Seems fine.”

I hate things like North America is supporting Israel and so many kids are dying because Premiers and Presidents aren’t stepping in. It makes me weary, but I try to do small things to make other peoples lives better.

Sometimes that has been making homemade bread and soup to hand out to homeless peopl. Sometimes its seeing a craigslist ad of somebody getting rid of something they think is broken, and I’ll respond with instructions on how it can be saved. The happy replies when you just saved somebody a $350+ repair bill (or cost of rebuying something) are worth it.

As for the other question in thr post: If you are using btrfs or zfs I believe both of those have a send function that operates at a block level and will only send block changes rather than full file changes

Configure and Pre backup the drives before bringing them to family members to save yourself some bandwidth

OK, it’s not just me then

Its a logic flow diagram, the first three are flawed logic , so the fourth is the wrong as the reasoning. But maybe I have been doing too many conditional and boolean statements in my software

This has not been my experience. I’m not on Ubuntu, but OpenSUSE and NixOS. Everything works and operates as expected everytime. The only issue once was nvidia driver updated versions before kernel did and I had to reboot to a previous snapshot and wait a few days till the kernel update was released to work with whatever happened to the driver. But 8 years of a dependable system otherwise
