Thanks!

Can you elaborate or point me to some resources? I’d like to hear more about this because I’ve wondered for a while what to do about Secure Boot on my machine.

Brands that don't buy enough Twitter ads will lose verification (www.theverge.com)

According to emails obtained by the WSJ, brands need to have spent at least $1,000 on ads within the prior 30 days or $6,000 in the previous 180 days to retain the gold checkmark identifying...

Just a few more failed businesses and in about 50 years he’ll be all set to run for POTUS as the Republican nominee.

Ah, that’s a good point. Well, he’s still got ~50 years to work on those if he hasn’t started yet.

Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...

I hope that snaps, flatpaks, AppImages, etc., will make a big difference in terms of adoption and ease of use. As @Millie said, if complications arise while trying to install or use software, then you’re basically screwed unless you have a really good tutorial or deep knowledge. I’ve been using various Linux distros as daily drivers for the past ~10 years, and in that time, I still haven’t figured out why there’s such a big emphasis on compiling software. Your average Windows user has probably never even heard of compilation let alone been required to compile software in order to use it. For better or worse, the emphasis in Windows is on shipping binaries that the user can simply double-click to run. And if we want to reduce frustration for new Linux users, we can’t expect them to know how to compile software. Snaps, flatpaks, and AppImages definitely move us in the right direction even if there’s a lot of internal debate about which of those is best.

It’s also nice to see big flagship projects like Gnome finally really taking off in terms of quality. Of course, the Gnome desktop environment won’t appeal to everyone aesthetically, and it’s generally much more resource-intensive than Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE, LXQt, etc.; but distros like Ubuntu, Fedora, Pop!_OS, etc., look really great and work really well out of the box for most people. Same with Linux Mint. And I personally don’t care for KDE, but it’s another DE that’s pretty solid.
