I bought a Dell with Ubuntu preloaded in 2019. I think it should still be possible (It’s their “developer edition” models).

The game Myst actually worked kind of like a DVD menu with more options.

I was pretty lucky in university as most of my profs were either using cross platform stuff or Linux exclusive software. I had a single class that wanted me using windows stuff and I just dropped that one.

Awesome that you’re getting back into it, it’s definitely the best it’s ever been (and you’re right that Steam cracked the code). It sounds like you probably know what you’re doing if you’re running Linux VMs and stuff, but feel free to shoot me a PM if you run into any questions or issues I might be able to point you in the right direction for.

I’ve been running Linux exclusively since 2001 or so. It was rough around the edges back then, but it was useful enough for what I needed.

You had to choose a good distro on that note; redhat, mandrake, etc broke on me so many times, and I was only able to fully switch after finding slackware, which was rock solid.

Earlier today I googled how to toggle full screen in dosbox-x and the AI-generated answer said to use alt+enter. Tried it and it didn’t work, so I look in the documentation and it turns out that they changed it to F12+f a while ago (probably to avoid interfering with actual dos input).

This is definitely already a problem.

Libertarianism is a traditionally left wing philosophy that started in the 1800s. They’re also typically pretty big on human rights and equality.

The more modern America-centric “tea party” libertarians fit what you’re saying, but they didn’t create the term.

I use GrapheneOS without Google services and the only issue I have to work around is Slack notifications. Everything else is fantastic.

I have an old phone with microg, slack, tasker and termux running on it. When slack receives a push notification, tasker pulls it out and sends it to a script in termux that forwards it to my gotify server, which my main phone is listening for notifications on.

I’ve emailed Slack a bunch of times asking for unified push or even just an API route I can listen on, but so far I’ve had no luck.

Not the OP, but connect a computer to it and set it to turn on to the last input. I’ve had one for a year and can’t even remember what their interface looks like.

I run two multimonitor systems with different DPIs and 2.5gbe and they both run great. What issues are you hitting?

I’m curious what about Graphene you think would prevent certain demographics from using it as a daily driver? There are pretty well no downsides to using it compared to a first party ROM aside from not having certain things like Google Assistant baked in. It has automatic updates, you get the play store and services if you want them, it even has android auto. It’s also the most rock solid android experience I’ve had since I switched from iOS in 2012 or so.

Obviously a stereotypical grandparent would need someone who knows computers to do the initial install and setup, but after that it’s pretty well just set and forget.

Signal started out as textsecure, an sms/mms app that encrypted your text messages. It quietly started sending messages over its server at one point after an update, but before that sms is what it was about.

Is it possible she has variable refresh/gsync/freesync support and that it’s enabled? That turned out to be the cause of the flickering I was seeing.
