5·10 days agoZorinOS used to send anonymous pings and the user did not had the option to opt out. https://zorin.com/legal/privacy/before-31-may-2018/ Seems now its an opt in service.

Linux@lemmy.ml•780k Windows Users Downloaded Linux Distro Zorin OS in the Last 5 Weeks
71·11 days agoTried it when I was starting out. But I may have read somewhere that it uses telemetry. So uninstalled later.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Which company has a better reputation Lenovo or ASUS?
7·13 days agoNo. Lenovo is really good. Try buying on Black Friday or Christmas, they usually have offers. Also Lenovo has ‘Build your own spec’ kind thing for all their models. These are even cheaper. Also if you’re buying through their website, try staying in their cart page before checkout for about 5 mins, sometimes they will give you a small discount coupon, fearing you’re indecisive.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Which company has a better reputation Lenovo or ASUS?
171·14 days agoLenovo is cheaper than ASUS. Also I feel their Linux support is better than Asus’s. Recently installed an EndeavourOS on my friend’s Lenovo, and every single thing is working as expected.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Probably a dumb question, but: do I need to do anything to my media drive when swapping from Windows?
2·15 days agoI believe I was on PopOS then. Now I am on EndeavorOS.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Probably a dumb question, but: do I need to do anything to my media drive when swapping from Windows?
2·15 days agoI was having problems with NTFS HDDs when I was dual booting. Needing to get into windows for solving them. Then I ditched Windows, reformatted my drives to EXT4 and never looked back.
But now I am using EXT4 with LUKS for encryption.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Probably a dumb question, but: do I need to do anything to my media drive when swapping from Windows?
13·16 days agoNTFS reads/writes fine on Linux. But if anything goes wrong then you might need a utility to fix it (Mostly caused by sudden unplugging). If you have the option, I would suggest you format and the media drive in EXT4. Mind you, EXT4 can only be read by Linux systems.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the android version of getting annoyed with windows and installing linux mint?
361·18 days agoIn my opinion, the worst Android flavor among the popular ones is the Samsung’s One UI. Notoriously bad in terms of tracking and telemetry. Yeah these Chinese ROMs are certainly bad, but where I am from, these are few and far between.
The worst thing about Samsung is the inability to install any Custom ROM despite it being a Snapdragon chip. Other manufactures like Xiaomi or OnePlus sometimes let’s users do that (albeit the process might be a little difficult).
But to answer your question, look into LineageOS’s supported device list. Pick a device from there and install LineageOS. Or better still by a Pixel (there are talks about a partnership with an unknown OEM and GOS, but no clear news on that as of yet) and install GrapheneOS.

Linux@programming.dev•GNOME's Nautilus File Manager Finally Supporting Ctrl+Insert & Shift+Insert
7·19 days agoEssentially nothing. They copied the shortcuts from Thunar and Dolphin for copy paste.
If it does not anymore, install the OS again.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On
5·26 days agoYes I could see this being helpful for many. But I feel jellyfin’s metadata scrapper is helpful for maintaining a library. But for a quick watch, this should be more than fine. Also I feel this must have better performance.
The dude in the middle is feeling things.
I have a continuous urge to buy a lot of EOL laptops… I must resist.




Ts ts ts. Not metric enough.
