Look for the option when installing that is along the lines of “wipe entire drive.”
If you want Debian, check out Vanilla OS. They reached a milestone not too long ago, and it’s a bulletproof distro. It containerizes most programs, it’s immutable, and has atomic updates.
Someone already mentioned, turn off secure boot in your BIOS/uefi settings.
Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re after, but Unifi gateways can install NextDNS with a script provided by NextDNS. It’s all the same lists as Pi-Hole, and possibly more intelligent ones, too. Bonus points are it makes every device in your home use encrypted DNS, as well!
I’m using it on a Dream Machine Pro, and the new Cloud Gateway Ultra.
Just a heads up, if you have a modern smart phone, Fdroid Basic is the latest and greatest official F-Droid app. The non-basic one is for older devices, now. It has to do with internally being able to use Android’s newest targetsdk version.
If you decide yes, I highly recommend Fedora Silverblue, or any of the distros based on silverblue/ublue. I myself love Bazzite for gaming.
Those are atomic and immutable, meaning you cannot easily break core files, and every single thing can be updated in the app store. It’s the windows equivalent of not being able to modify/delete C:\Windows; and getting firmware, drivers, applications, and Windows updates all in one click using the Microsoft Store.
This is because M$s scheduler sucks, and needs to be updated for the new AMD CPUs. Happened in the past with other Ryzen releases.
Unraid is amazing for getting into servers. It’s just the right amount of WebUI and minimalism. Very safe and comfortable defaults, and the ability to start tweaking and adding more.
Didn’t GPS come from NASA?
Check out massgrave dot dev, they have W11 IoT LTSC and activators. It’s the best version of Windows! No more dealing with AI bullremoved being added, nor advertisements.
I can vouch for Bazzite. It’s at the point where you don’t really have to do any tinkering. The only thing I really had to configure some extra beyond the defaults was pipewire, allowing different sample rates for my USB audio DAC.
Traefik + CrowdSec + Authelia ftw
That’s the photo where he took a selfie with the hat, in front of the billboard which is a photo of him with the new hat, Yea?
Look up TPUs, like a coral tensor. Extremely efficient at machine learning, only, and cheap. If NPUs use anything like a TPU, then it absolutely can do local “AI.” Then once the heavy lifting is done, then I’d imagine all that data is uploaded.
Looks really sleek with the new floating panels, and being able to turn a panel into an icon task manger is still nice, and the new overview window is great for workflow.
However multi monitor support is still garbage. Like 3/4 of programs will never remember their size and position, so you have to make a never ending list of kwin window rules, which then end up affecting other windows you don’t want to. Other things like right click menus will show up on the wrong monitor way off in a corner get old real fast. Its like the cartoon spiderman meme of 3 Spiderman’s pointing at each other. Qt6, Wayland, and kwin all pointing the blame of why its like the way it is, while bug reports rack up another year of no fixes.
HDR having a toggle and working is really nice, but when it was on and I booted up a game, the in game options wouldn’t allow me to turn on HDR.
I just started to daily Bazzite, which is Kinoite but made for gaming. Can confirm it is so reliable it’s crazy. Best fresh install experience by a mile.
So I’m not the only one who feels lost with Bazzite, even after years tinkering with other distros?!
I need to sit down and try to wrap my head around the file structure, it just feels completely different except for the home dir.
I’ve distro hopped a decent amount over the years, and bazzite is easily the best fresh install and ready to game experience. I am all team red, though. Added bonus you no longer have to worry about updates or breaking things.
I agree, but if you’re like me, situations arise where I’m not at home, and unexpectedly spending money. Being able to look at my bank on my phone in the moment helps me judge if what I’m about to do is worth it.
What’s wild, is they released a lengthy post on their anti-cheat this month. At one point they mention that current vanguard has been bypassed/defeated…a bunch of lazy clowns.
It also shows LoL’s old anti-cheat, you’d get cheaters/scripters/bots anywhere from 1 in 15 games, to 1 in 5, depending on your region. The higher your rank, the more you’d run into cheaters, too, by a lot. Riot games is just a cesspool of free 2 play trash that breeds the most toxic of people.
In a YouTube video I watched last year, a group came up with an extremely good A.I. powered anti-cheat. The kicker is this, they couldn’t sell it to a single major studio, because said studios implied that their player count would suffer way too much.
None of these studio’s give a single removed about competitive integrity. Just stfu, keep playing 100s of matches in an obviously broken rank/match making system to slightly rank up, and give us $.
This also handles the device settings and open-razer driver, it’s more than just RBG control. I use it to set polling rate and DPI, my mouse doesn’t have rbg, either.
