Is secure boot required for LUKS?

Triggered your PTSD, eh?

Mine was in 2005. It involved the NDIS wrapper, and lots of cussing.

Why Fedora? They’re basically Red Hat in a trench coat. I’d go with a EU based distro like Suse.

What is vt .social?

I’d love to try out some of their products, but my government has banned them. So much for the land of the free.

Glad to help. I’m highly suspicious of any corporation backed distributions.

Get rid of Kubuntu and install Pika OS, then get to gaming.

Ubuntu shipped ads from Amazon back in the late 00s. I stopped using them then and haven’t touched them since.

My issue is that I don’t trust Canonical. I was an Ubuntu user when they sold our searches to Amazon, and I am generally distrusting of corporations.

Good. This makes room for innovation.

I’ll check this out tonight when I get home. Thanks!

This is what I was looking for! I’ll check it out tonight. Thanks!

I measured it by playing the game. I’m getting caught in AoE attacks that I was easily able to avoid on windows.

I’m looking for a distro that will be able to get the most out of my graphics on an MSI Katana laptop. Right now I have Debian Bookworm running the Nvidia binary driver, and the graphics lags a bit compared to when this laptop had Windows 11 on it. I’m playing Final Fantasy XIV, and doing web browsing on it. I’d like to stay with something Debian based and running Gnome. Ubuntu is not ideal because I have trust issues with Canonical since the Amazon ad debacle back in the late 00s. Can y’all give suggestions for a distribution that might work better, or some tweaks that might optimize the performance on Debian? Should I just wait for Trixie and see if that give better performance? I’m just spitballing for ideas here. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I’m socially awkward, but that’s probably just paranoia and PTSD from my time in the military.

@Geodad@lemm.ee · 2M

Gotta love those FTX. I got to the point where I crawled under a humvee for a nap.

@Geodad@lemm.ee · 2M

He’s autistic, that’s why he’s socially awkward. It was mentioned in one of his videos a few years ago.

@Geodad@lemm.ee · 2M

I did that. Since I had everything backed up to my nextcloud, I just pulled the Debian USB out of my backpack and razed what was left. Rebuilt on the rubble.

Go to an electronics recycling center and get a retired thinkpad (or 5). Once they’re decommissioned by corporations, they wipe the drive and send them off to be recycled.
