I switched to lemm.ee

Can you get a virus just for visiting a sketchy website?

Also, some programs aren’t available via my package manager (I use Fedora) so I have to add 3rd party repos. Is there a general security guide for linux?

Thank you!

Depp is abusive. You don’t need to support Heard to realize that.

For Spanish speakers I recommend ‘Las Hijas de Felipe’, about medieval/modern History (herstory?). They usually cover mundane things, rather than battles or empires.

I’m shocked by this post. And looking for a new instance.

I wanted an instance that doesn’t defederate based on ideology (except fascist instances) and of a generalist nature. I want to browse the wide fediverse from an instance where I’m allowed to be a socialist, but clearly lemmy.world is not the one for me.

Any recommendations?

For Spanish news eldiario.es and elsaltodiario.com

For Andalusian news lavozdelsur.es

Just block them bro.

So preemptively defederating from Meta (literally Evil Corp, that backed genocide and fascism) is not okey, but doing the same with communists is.

I’m starting to get a feel of what Lemmy World really is.

Same for me.

The first thing I thought when reading this question! Discworld is amazing

I noticed the same thing on Mastodon. The new users per day ratio is slowing, but each time Elon does his thing there’s a new wave.

Is it possible but you could run into issues. You can shrink that drive and leave space for Linux there, but be careful while setting up your partitions so you don’t accidentally erase your games data.

Its always easier to use a whole drive so you don’t have to worry about partitions. I’ve never done what you’re describing but it shouldn’t be much of a hassle.

I’ve read that some people have problems, but I used to dual boot (now I keep each os in a separate hard drive) without issues. Is a really straight forward process but if you get issues the online community is amazing and there are tons of docs (and reddit threads, some of them are deleted now or moved to Lemmy).

Linux is great! I started dual booting windows and Linux Mint, tried a lot of distros (this is called distro hopping) all Ubuntu based while using primarily Windows. After a while I got tired with windows and felt more comfortable with Linux, so I wiped Windows and installed Fedora Workstation (there’s a community for ASUS gaming laptops that have a guide for Fedora).

If you just want to get a feel of Linux, you can also run it in a Virtual Box, setting it to full screen makes you feel like you are using Linux, but obviously that comes with limitations.

When I’m installing F-Droid I get a security alert about it being developed for a previous android version and that it doesn’t include latest privacy updates. How legit is that? I’m downloading the apk throught their official website https://f-droid.org/

Zoom with my eyes! I love birding, having prismatic eyes would be neat.

Are you willing to try another distro?

Afaik Debian doesn’t support proprietary drivers out of the box.

Maybe you have a better experience with other distros as Fedora (or its daughter Nobara) or Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu but imo better).

EDIT: What are your spec? I’m sure the problems you’re experiencing are related to your hardware and their drivers being closed source.

Amphetamines

I kept having troubles with Windows 11 and I was also fed up with all the Microsoft crap and how they push they’re Cortana, Edge or other bullshit.

Switching has been amazing. Yes, also confusng at first, but you’ll learn a lot and rn I’m happier than ever with my machine.

I’m running Fedora Workstation.

Mosquitoes aren’t attracted to light. You’re only killing moths and other insects with that, maybe some mosquito but not all.

Things that actually attracts mosquitoes:

-Standing Water.

-Carbon Dioxide.

-Strong Fragrances.

-Overgrown Vegetation.
