  • Have you decided on Mint yet? If not, the Bazzite distro will be easy to use. All you need to do is download the Nvidia image and install it. It will work right away. Steam and the Nvidia drivers are already installed and configured. No configuration is needed.

    The trick is not to go too extreme too quickly. It has to be a gradual transition to using privacy-respecting products, or else you’ll burn out.

    I started by switching from Windows 10 to Linux, then using ProtonMail instead of Gmail, then Lemmy instead of Reddit. I’m slowly transitioning to other services and software that respect my privacy.

    Look at it as a journey.


  • Unfortunately, System76 hasn’t shared any specific details or an official timeline yet. But don’t worry—we’ll be among the first to let you know as soon as there’s news, so keep an eye out for updates.

    It’s better not to have a definite timeline and to release it when it’s ready. First impressions are key because this will be System76’s main distro for their computers.









  • All it takes is momentum. It’s a chicken-and-egg problem, and I think it’s gaining momentum because of Valve. Gaming was always the one thing stopping people from checking out Linux.

    Now, however, more and more people are trying it out. More tech YouTubers are trying Linux, which means more exposure. Distros are becoming more refined. KDE is much better than it used to be because of Valve. All in all, there’s true momentum building.

    In due time, Linux will be preinstalled on computers and laptops, and because of this, more people will contribute to Linux. People are fed up with the bloat and heavy AI push of Windows 11.

    The problem first became apparent to Tesla in March of this year after complaints about unintended hood opening from Chinese customers. By April, it had identified the problem as deformation of the hood latch switch, “which could prevent the customer from being notified about an open hood state.”

    Given that China is now an electric car superpower, this situation will not bode well for Tesla in that country.
