Roblox not runnimg is more like a feature. /s

If you got a Nvidia dGPU I recommend PopOS. It gave me the best energy options and ability to switch between iGPU and dGPU out of the box. It even found new firmware for my T480 and installed it without a hitch.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will take a look and see if the extra money is worth it.

He is a overall a good dude. I love what he did with his Sneakers:

As per Joe Pompliano, In 1998, when Shaq was on his way out of the Orlando arena, a mother was seen cursing at him. She posed the question, “Why don’t one of you s** o** a B****** make an affordable sneaker?” in front of him that made him wonder. He even offered her $200 which she violently refused.

The Lakers legend stopped to think about the enormous difference in the actual cost of basketball shoes and how much a typical family could spend. This led to his decision to leave Reebok and start his own line. A thought occurred in Shaq’s mind and he turned to the biggest retailer in the world, Walmart.

It’s been two decades, and Shaq has been selling most of his shoes at Walmart for $15-$30, compared to Nike’s $200 and more. This helped him sell over 120 million pairs of shoes.

Not specific for learning, but you can put any command into ExplainShell and it breaks down the individual parts for you.

No, it’s an android app.

I don’t like to install an app for every service or product, but newpipe adds so much value, that it’s a no-brainer for me.

I don’t see the value in using an extension just to automatically watch YouTube in HD. Maybe 10 years ago, but now we got Newpipe.

Also Google Search has gone downhill for quite some time now. Why should I install an extension that reverts the enshittification Google has deliberately created?

DDG, Qwant, searXNG maybe even Brave or Kagi are better options. If you like Google Search so much, at least use Startpage.

I used this Guide (KVM +qemu) in a previous installation. I’m an intermediate Linux user and got it working without much trouble. Maybe it will fit your use case

“Oops.” - The people killing our world and won’t face any real consequences.

HDR? Ah, you mean when videos keep flickering on Wayland!

I will switch when I need a new GPU.

When knowledge is deliberately gated by large entities and the author would give it away for free (scientific papers) is a no-brainer for me. Or when a course requires specific textbooks that costs hundreds of dollars.

How was there never a legal battle between KDE and Mortal Kombat?

I hop between invidious, piped and Freetube regularly. Had some instances when both piped and invidious don’t work at all.

I use Auto CPU Freq on my T480 and am satisfied so far.

I’m looking into Proton, Windscribe and AirVPN atm. Travelling the high seas is my main reason for a VPN. In the past I didn’t use it enough to switch from Mullvad, which I liked except for their port forwarding switch.

Thanks for the hint.

Yeah, I was getting desperate 😆

I try Wayland from time to time, but my 4k60Hz TV (HDMI) keeps having problems.

Under Wayland I only get 30Hz and sometimes it makes the system very laggy.

Rumors are it will have a LCD screen. That way Nintendo will be able to make a version with an OLED screen a few years later and sell it to you again. They’re so “innovative”.

T480. Still good availability. It was popular with companies that put them back into th e market a few years ago.

Last model without glued RAM. So it’s upgradable and you can install two M.2 drives. One with 2240 length and a full-size 2280 in the main drive bay.

The battery setup is great as well. One internal battery plus an external you can choose depending on your needs. Either small and light for a bit more juice or big and heavy for max runtime.

I got one 6 months ago and couldn’t be happier.
