I’d like to suggest Linux Mint: It allows you to use guides and software written for Ubuntu but disables all the scummy stuff.

24.04 to 26.04 is a big version jump and sadly they can’t check every combination of hardware and software. Some people don’t go through the upgrade process and just back up their user data and reinstall when they want to upgrade to a new major release. In my experience, the automatic upgrader is usually fine but occasionally requires me to tweak something on my system.

Missing Nvidia drivers

Ubuntu has a “driver manager” software in the settings which should allow you to install recommended drivers.

Python not compatible with software like Proton VPN

What version are you using and how did you install it? You might be using an older version of their app and the issues are fixed in the latest versions. If you really can’t get their app to work, you can go to https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads#openvpn-configuration-files and download an OpenVPN file which you can import in your network settings. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as their app, but it still allows you to VPN your traffic.

My pc is not welcome in the new Ubuntu world :’(

I mean, isn’t Windows notorious for breaking things after an update as well? :P Computers in general are brittle and don’t handle change well.

Doesn’t that cause issues if a backdoor happened a few months ago and you should be updating to a recent fixed version?

NixOS would beg to differ. :P

We already have infrastructure for transmitting and storing electricity. These methods are also more efficient and convenient than building nuclear reactors (which require steam turbines and hazardous material).

For cars, all this infrastructure would result in a lot of extra weight and safety features. Much more efficient to have it be done somewhere else at scale and sent to cars directly.

Aithority figures act with your health and wellbeing in mind.

Tragic that they don’t enjoy any fun in their lives.

How much have you already got working? This seems like a huge project, especially just for one person.

What is your policy on AI generated content as part of the development? Both for art and code? No need to destroy the real environment for a virtual one, and AI code in a secure environment is a no-no for me.

I’d also like to advise caution about having every change put to a community vote. Only the most enfranchised players will actually get involved in the process, and may make changes that hurt newer players. Players tend also to be really bad at identifying solutions to problems in general.

No, no. It’s different because the stones humans use are rare. Right?

… Right?

Valve literally released hardware and said “hey, competitors, feel free to add your own stores and even OS”. None of their competitors even bothered to try.

Valve doesn’t need to resort to underhanded tactics to secure their monopoly like other monopolies. They just know that they provide a good service.

Lift up your mouse. What is an LED but a spicy candle?

I found Hades hard to beat. Yes, there’s meta progression and item combos that make it easier, but the game requires a level of mechanical skill to beat.

Don’t feel discouraged; focus on how you’re improving as you feel more comfortable with your movement.

Anyone interested, there’s a colony sim game named Timberborn where you play as beavers. Unsurprisingly, this comic gets posted there every few weeks. :P

I’ve been to a few pride marches, and yeah it’s full of pride flags, people waving signs with clever slogans and loudly complaining about the government.

Would recommend going to one if you feel safe enough.

I was going to point out that comics like that should already be covered by the rules against discrimination… But reading the sidebar it doesn’t look like we have rules like that. We have a full paragraph detailing how an exposed nipple should be tagged, but nothing saying “hey, don’t be a homophobic sexist bigot”. Probably worth adding something to the rules like:

Discrimination such as homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism are not welcome here. This applies both in comments and posted comics. Likewise, artists who have a large history of posting discriminatory content such as Stonetoss and Jago are similarly not allowed here.

Nazi bars form by exploiting moderators who are too afraid to say no and actively kick out a culture of hate.

I have no interest in watching quarter of an hour of clickbait nonsense, what’s the tldr besides the licencing non-issue?

This is a distro that received crap because of the transition to snaps and the whole Amazon shopping lens thing. There’s pretty stiff competition for “worst release”.

I’d recommend using an atomic distro. Then if you get shot to pieces you can roll back to a good state.

I’d certainly feel primal if I was hiking and got a splinter in my feet.

You need to watch out for hallucinations - you need to use brown glass rather than clear glass.

They aren’t available as regular boot options, so you need to use timeshift itself to switch to them. It provides a cli though so it can be used in cases where you’ve broken your x server.
