I’d argue that it may come to that, given the poor availability of (steam) games for the macos platform. And when it is available, you may end up with a disclaimer that it may not run anyway.
I’ll add one today: past week our doctor said my cholesterol is shit, and told my wife she’s fat, put us both on a diet.
Years ago I quit smoking
Months ago I quit drinking
Days ago I …quit eating lol
At the end of the day, it’s not the smokes, it’s not the booze, it’s not the burgers: there’s only you there, the same you but without the crap. I guess.
An AUR package has been done for Arch by (supposedly) someone who knows what they are doing and needs it on their Arch Machine
A Flatpak is something done by someone, to (supposedly) work everywhere, untested on Arch, that may or may not work. And crash (Ardour on Asahi). Or waste hours or you life to render files incorrectly (kdenlive on arch and asahi).
Native versions work perfectly.
I thought I was clever in using arch/aur for everything, but pull KDE or QT apps from Flatpak to keep my gnome install a bit more tidy… For this, you’d have to have those Flataks to work, and sometimes they don’t.
I assumed OP plugged himself in some hidden serial port (like cars’ obd2) and the washing machine had indeed a tpm to prevent bootleg/non original spare parts.
The human mind can be the deepest well of imagination sometimes. I’m a bit too good at that o.Ô
My wife has a T480s on standard 2022 LTS Ubuntu, it is a machine old enough to not need the latest edgy mint ; a friend of mine has had to install it on his 2023 X1 tho.
Standard Mint will do fine. Default DE is boring as hell, be sure to look at others like Gnome. I love Gnome.
Also, using “live” USB keys OP can try several distros and check what they find more attractive in the default state of a distro.
PopOS, Elementary, Fedora, Tumbleweed… So many of them.
I say Tumbleweed is best because of the perfect, seamless integration of BTRFS / Snapshotting / Rollback system. It is truly the best way to dip your feet into Linux and get it back working in a single click when you (inevitably) fuck up.
If you use the config file generator from the Proton website, you can have a Wiregard config tailor-made to load in NetworkManager for instance. Or several with or without NAT, different exits and so on.
I don’t know how this isn’t widely known, it’s been there for a while.
I am a full Proton paying customer too. At the time of signup, a Drive Linux client was supposedly next in line… There’s zero mention of it now. I need a VPN IRL and wasn’t keen on relying on a free plan where I was used to pay for one anyway. Aaaand I planned to move my emails of course since it’s in the bundle.
I’d gladly uplift people and advocate for progress on the privacy and security fronts, invite world+dog to join but I can’t do it now in this situation. Linux users being underserved is how I feel.
That Boss guy says it there, Linux customership is negligible. I was happy to switch to an ethical ecosystem, but at the end of the day Proton is a company that runs for profit.
Nevermind that this specific Linux customership is exponentially sensitive to privacy and security next to the average windows user, our money still doesn’t matter.
It’s… annoying. Drive is relegated to weekly Dead Stupid Backups while Dropbox gives me real filesharing, VPN is highly unstable next to my former… dare I mention it? Yes: next to NkrdVPN which was ultra reliable anywhere I went, and Mail is only used for the passmail obfuscation since I don’t think I’ll stay with proton and didn’t switch my main mail to it.
I’d be curious to know if the userbase of proton products reflects that of general statistics of OS’es repartition.
