If you want privacy, sadly, you will have to pay. I am currently using Proton Pass (special offer 1$ monthly), you get a good password manager, plus unlimited email aliases.

Proton is also known to be one of the best Email Providers based on good privacy.

Ye, but i don't really game on my laptop anymore (i have one with RTX 2060 6GB), since i play only on my Steam Deck now. At this point the integrated graphic is enough to play some light games, and I'd rather have long battery life than raw power.

Like is not PRO, because you can do some light gaming on it, but definitely a good machine in my opinion.

Why don't you try becoming comfortable with Linux while using it in a Virtual Machine? I tried different distros too, and then I decided which one was the best for me.

We can't really suggest you one, if we don't know what you are going to use it for.

You may want to do some research, because different distros have different purposes (gaming, privacy, programming, easy to use etc etc).

Let us know, what your use cases will be?

[-] Sterben@lemmy.ml 23 points 9 months ago

Good job on that! Linux is way better for average uses like you described. 😊

[-] Sterben@lemmy.ml 11 points 11 months ago

I started my gaming experience (PC) with Linux. So I disagree.

[-] Sterben@lemmy.ml 50 points 1 year ago

I am with Valve, who plays games on Mac anyway?

[-] Sterben@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I guess it is time to completely delete it.

As the title says, the latest version of Facebook doesn't allow you to open links in your default browser of choice.

I am pretty sure a couple of weeks ago I was able to do that, but in the last couple of days it started opening all links in the in app browser.

If you go "Setting & Privacy > Media > Open Links in an external browser" and enable it, Facebook will still use the in app browser for opening links.

Anyway to get around this?

Now I remember why I started using DDG, they are as transparent as they can be as a search engine. Thanks for sharing these useful links.

[-] Sterben@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

I see where you are coming from, but at the end Firefox is just better from a privacy point of view (open source).

Hello, how are you guys?

As the title says, what search Ingine are you currently using? I used DuckDuckGo for years, and just recently switched to Brave.

Also, what do you think about the Brave Browser? I have been using FireFox since forever.

Thank you for reading.

I am rocking an Xiaomi Gaming Laptop (i7 9th, GeForce 2060, 32Gb Ram) with PopOS installed since day one. It is working fine (a bit annoyed because there is no way of finding a new battery for replacement), but I was thinking of switching to something more open source and with Linux officially supported.

Anyone here with an Adder WS (or any other System76 laptop)? How do you find yourself with it? Mainly curious about the battery life.

Thank you for reading.

Yes, you can use emoji, but wouldn't it be better to use special characters instead? At least is 100% sure to be supported in all modern devices.

Is Reddit still alive? I have been away for months 😂
