So aurora with micro g is more private in the sense that you’re not required to have a google account which would be used to track the apps you use etc. But sandboxed google play on GrapheneOS is significantly more secure. It requires fewer privileges than microG, operates in a much stricter sandbox, and performs checksum verifications on your downloads to ensure they are legitimate. Aurora is hypothetically vulnerable to man in the middle attacks since it doesn’t check the file’s hash

I’m in a nearly identical position, I don’t have any advice except stay strong and know you’re not alone. It’s rough out here right now. Even temp agencies for IT work are a dead end, they want me to relocate for 30 days of employment lmao. I’m just doing gig work while I wait but the hiring market for this field is fucked right now

I think about him saying don’t tell my wife about the chicken wings at least once a week lol

Default Fedora workstation and Silverblue do it this way. First boot prompts you to create an account and set it up, then lands you on the desktop and asks if you want a tour of the UI

Yah I’m aware of their US backing and their oil deals. If Assad was still around he’d be the obvious bulwark against imperialism in the region even with his obvious flaws. I suppose I’d hoped rojava had more staying power than just what the US deals had supplied so they could fill some of that role. I just find it tragic to see the region pulled apart for plunder again to this extent

Terrible. This just emboldens fascist erdogan and HTS, and crushes any chance of sovereignty for Kurds or continuation of the flawed but progressive experiment in rojava.

I don’t have experience with dual GPU laptops but from what I’ve heard PopOS handles them really well. They also have an image with the nvidia drivers preinstalled which should make the setup process straightforward

Edit: I also found this github repo which documents some fixes for issues on that device specifically. Not sure how many of these have been patched upstream by now but it’s worth checking out.

Love the name I’ll definitely check this out tonight

The environment is more important than rancher’s bottom lines

I got one of these for $20 at Walmart
