I find i to look on forums for solutions less and less anyway. Once you’ve been using a distro long enough unless your trying to do something you’ve never done before it’s usually pretty simple to know what’s wrong, and fix it. Because you’ll get the same things popping up over and over again.

I also like to keep like a little doc of fixes I’ve done on each computer so that if a year later i need to do a version upgrade or reinstall i can look back to it, and see what i did last time if i get repeat issues. Especially useful on stuff like laptops where you’ll have really specific hardware issues that reappear years later, and normally take hours and hours of trying to figure out what is broken.

my Dell laptop on debian can suspend and wake flawlessly, and uses basically no energy while suspended. Like 12 hours later it’ll maybe lose 1-2%.

I have spent literal hours of my life trying to get the fingerprint reader on a latitude 7400 to work and i just gave up lol. Passwords are underrated anyway.

Idk if its so much a china problem as just an amazon problem in general. Dropshipping made it a thing i think. Since you’ve got dozens of drop shippers trying to sell the same product. Then companies selling direct had to try to maintain their SEO by doing this so their listings are not drowned in dropshipper listings.

I regularly get confused because they moved an intersection in my town 5 years ago, and i still think it’s there until i pull up and its a dead end. lol

I think its because they just see it as the “OS non-techies should use” but as Huawei’s Harmony OS becomes more popular i expect that to take over a good bit of that market.

Chinese people use the same distros we do generally. But Linux is seen as much more of a professional thing there, and i think the people using it probably just compile things themselves, and have less of a need for flatpak. Huawei actually had a Linux laptop they were offering for sale for awhile, and a lot of the people buying it were having the store clerk put a cracked version of windows on it for them lol.

Wow that must be atleast like 7 linux users overall taking into account all the distro hopping and redownloading lol.

Honestly id argue Debian stable is the most secure as long as the apps your using are getting security hotfixes backported. Since you get all the security fixes and none of the new features that tend to be where new security holes pop up. Combine that with good opsec in general, and your basically good to go.

One thing tho. Some people use them interchangably but is your focus security or privacy? Security being harder for bad actors to exploit something on your system, and privacy being strict control over your data.

China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, DPRK

Hawaii should be free anyway. Send all the USians home and give the people of Hawaii their nation back.

And its not even accurate. This person you replied to is taking a very narrow view of social programs to mean direct government handouts. All communist nations are still in development stages and most of their social spending goes towards building vital infrastructure, and helping communities become self sufficient and independent. In the Nordic countries a poor village may be given a cash handout to buy food for example, but in China a poor village will be provided with skills and resources to support themselves indefinitely. This is how China raises people out of poverty permanently while European social programs simply put a bandaid on the problem.

I just had to explain this to someone the other day lol. Figure ur gonna get lots of hate from libs about this post so wanted to just come in and say hi. 你是很好老师同志。Your posts in response are nicely done. I hope people take the time to read them.

I used to run a raspberry pi off a external phone battery via usb so i could carry it around while testing stuff lol

He never switched hes just a liar. Hes on of those libs who says they support gaza but wont call it a genocide and says “israel has a right to defend itself” and he voted for pro-israel anti-palestine shit in congress.

Oh man the libs really dont like when you point how their furthest left guy still supports genocide.

This sounds like something a serial killer would say…

I remember reading about how cars in other countries like China, and Europe have LED headlights that will detect where other cars windshields are and turn the LEDs that would shine in that direction off re-actively. But that it was illegal in the US for some reason.

what baffles me is they managed to get all those other symbols but not the multiplication? So weird. Kinda makes me think they used ai to generate this and the ai just had them all next to eachother so the human added asterisks manually for some reason.

Not sure about CalyxOS but Graphene os has users so you could just switch to a different user and show them that and they probably wouldnt know to look for other users. Or you can disable apps, and then enable them again later. Disabling saves all data but hides the app and archives it. So it would only show up in the full app list in the settings not anywhere else. Not sure how thorough their checks are tho.

Personally tho if i was gonna go through a US border and was worried about my devices being checked id just back it all up to an encrypted external ssd, stick it in my checked bag, and wipe my devices. Then restore them once ur through.
