I use several of the suggestions above, but also for IOS (iPhone) I use “Firefox Focus” and it clears everything when I close it and I can watch ad free.

If you are on Linux, you can use heroic game launcher. I have way more than 100 free games from them, and some are really good games.

Nope, not at that time.

It looks like you did not even save the file. Reminds me when I used my Commodore 64 and had to code in my entire program each boot (didn’t have a floppy drive or game carts)

I have been able to play most games fine on Linux mint.

If he plays Minecraft bedrock he can use “Minecraft bedrock launcher” which loads the android version (if you own it on the play store). Minecraft Java works find on Linux, but I prefer bedrock to use a controller.

Some PC games I play in “bottles” which lets you run windows programs.

I also have “heroic games launcher” that lets me play epic games, gog games and Amazon games.

I remember when I setup my Wordpress website years ago I had permission errors, so the Wordpress install needed read/write access to the website directory. Maybe the same in your case?

It has one built in, but I always prefer an actual keyboard on all my devices. The touch screen one works and it’s fine.

I have Linux mint on my 2 in 1 laptop with touch screen, it’s been good.

I don’t get any notifications from HA. I also don’t really use HA away from home. Just convenient for me to log in and check temperatures, make sure I have lights off, etc.

My router has a built in VPN, so I setup my phone with the VPN settings. Just a toggle on my phone and it connects to my home as if I was at my home Wi-Fi.

I self hosted many websites for about 20 years, but sadly I had to take it all down this year. In the process of moving to another state. Also going to really miss my 1gbps unlimited fiber connection.

I hosted my websites from windows server 2003, 2008, virtual machines, Linux, and other ways. It was fun times. I have very good up time using 2 servers and UPS battery backups.

The fact that it’s a top 10 seller on steam deck for years and they just fucked over everyone on Linux, they deserve it. We all paid them and they completely screwed all of us. I feel so cheated. I only run Linux and I have a steam deck. I left a bad review on steam and I contacted their support from all my rockstar accounts, but it’s not enough. Battleye is compatible with Linux, they just had to send an email, but rockstar keeps lying that it’s not compatible.

If you play bedrock, there is “Minecraft bedrock launcher” that loads the android version of the game if you own it on google play store.

But they are also using the local AI to spy on you.

Meta said it does not, but what about 3rd parties…

It was a thrift store auction website, when they first started there was almost no one bidding, so I won TONS of awesome things for cheap. Eventually more and more people joined and the auctions are not as easy to find deals.

I gave them laptops, Linux mint pre-installed. I used to buy auction lots of broken laptops, so I got them for like $10 each. Threw in an SSD. It works as fast as a new machine for browsing the web and watching YouTube. I also pre-installed some common programs to get them started.

Is called “Windows” because they are always looking in at you. I have been on Linux since they announced recall, and their fucking one drive kept secretly uploading my desktop files! (Kept seeing sync icons, even with all that disabled). Since then I now have my wife, uncle, dad, friends, etc all running Linux now.

A few stream decks, cam link pro, 4k60 pro and maybe a few other items. I know the stream deck has 3rd party programs but they require typing in commands and stuff to setup.

I agree. I switched to Linux full time a few months ago and there are several things just easier than windows.

Installing the OS was super simple, I didn’t have to turn off 10 settings that it wanted to sell my info, no keys to type in, no registration or spying, no candy crush and 20 other unwanted programs. I have to customize windows so much to my liking and then an update takes it away.

I just wish Elgato products had Linux support. I have emailed them a few times to suggest it. Maybe when 10% Linux share or 15%… I’m waiting.

During the past few months I now have myself, my wife, my uncle, and my dad on Linux!!!
