I mean, when I started using Linux I also tried to avoid the CLI, and I was successful at that with Mint for quite a while. Actually, updating Mint in GUI is faster. I didn’t find a way to enable parallel downloads for apt like for pacman, but the GUI does just that.

Very much possible nowdays. I haven’t even switched from Windows, I got a first computer, didn’t know the difference between Linux Mint and Windows, but I found Mint easier to use. Windows confused me with separate settings and control panel, and then some guide asking me to do woodoo in scary looking registry editor…

Oh, you can vote whether it should be opt-in or opt-out.
Oh, voting requires “Trust level 1”.

Anyway, I may stop donating to Manjaro due to this. Now I just go with Arch anyway. archinstall even makes it quick to setup a VM.

If you’re already using Ubuntu, I don’t think it’s worth it. They’re fairly similar. Then again, I didn’t even get to install Ubuntu in the first place, the installer kept crashing.

Unless the laptop is a potato and you don’t have a better computer, you can try Mint, or any other distro in a VM to see for yourself.

And welcome to Linux. If someone recommends you Arch Linux, Gentoo or LFS as other newbie-friendly option, it’s a joke.

Unless they’re simultaneously connected you could share the same private key in all of the configs.

Except the 5 device limit. With OVPN it means 5 connected devices, with WG it means 5 registered public keys.

Say you use the official Mullvad app and also setup some 3rd party WG client on your phone. That’s now taking up 2 devices. Or perhaps you do have 6 devices, but you never have more than 2 of them running at once. With WG, that’s still 6 devices regardless of them being connected or not, while with OVPN it will indeed be just 2 devices.

When you live with someone else who insists on you putting together and decorating the Christmas tree and gets mad at you when you won’t do it just for you to have to repack all that piece of shit into boxes mid-January.

Seriously though, my country’s government used similarly weak password in the past: https://spectator.sme.sk/c/20002161/security-bureau-hacked.html

The Slovakian (SR) National Security Bureau (NBU) has used the username “nbusr” with password “nbusr123”.

Only if others require me to participate in that. I don’t like it myself.

Arch Linux or Arch HURD?

(Unfortunately, Arch HURD is dead, but it did exist)

For example Alpine Linux. Or Android.

Chat, should I do it?

See, if you’re already referring to others as “chat”, it probably means you should have deleted it sooner.

I rather meant how it sounds. It’s in the “hundreds”.

Two thousands.
Twenty hundreds.

“Early twenty hundreds” does kind of make it sound like we live in 2224 instead while “early two thousands” sounds like 2002.
I could have written it better.

Welp, I don’t know when from the memory is, but I do vividly remember thinking about how damn old those 14/15 year old 9th graders are. Could be 1st grade.

Basically as if the life ended at 20, and they were soon to retire.

Early 2000’s doesn’t sound odd at all though.

Just look at where their servers are.

Kind of… al around the place? What do you mean?

Also, in the mail you don’t send the account number, just a payment token. So the postman won’t be stealing your account, just your cash at most.

Vouchers are probably the safest, but I actually like sending mail, and this is basically my only opportunity to do so nowadays.

Well, yeah, because most apps depend on Google services.
