In addition to other things people responded with, piracy services tend to not collect users data or prevent us from watching with a VPN enabled.

I remembered seeing the video in my feed but never watched it. I just checked again and it’s not there. Must have been removed

I’ve been using Mint on one of my computers for a few years and recently got into Fedora KDE. I find Fedora KDE to be much more modern than Mint so people get a good first impression of Linux. KDE also is just as familiar as Mint for Windows users in my opinion. I also find the atomic Kinoite to simply just work and the fact that it’s much more difficult to screw up I think is a plus for normal PC users.

Okay I see. I read about that protocol on some pens. Good to know that Linux supports it. Thank you

Great, thank you

When he heard of an alternative to Windows he jumped on it as he’s unhappy with Windows, like so many are.

People are sick and tired of Windows, subscriptions everywhere, and many other poor trends in life so you don’t really have to force people anywhere. They are unhappy but don’t know alternatives exist so when they hear about them many people are excited for change.

Gotcha, thank you very much

What do you mean by “crazy Bluetooth thing”? Are you saying to avoid a stylus that only connects via Bluetooth? I wasn’t able to find the screen’s touch protocol even when checking Dell’s owners manual. I guess I’ll have to contact their support. I was able to find various stylus protocols however such as Wacom AES 1&2, WGP, in-cell panel support, and Microsoft Pen Protocol.

I’ll check it out. You’re the second person to mention Aurora to me recently

Oh that’s great to know. Does it have buttons on it? And if it does do they work or are programmable?

I enjoy PC as I can emulate classic console, DOS, etc. games too. My OS of choice is Linux

I just got Falcon 3 Gold running in DOSBox the other day

I’ve used Lineage on multiple devices, Calyx, and Graphene. Graphene by far has the least issues (basically none), and the best compatibility in my experiences. Being able to relock the boot loader is perfect for a mobile device too.

I’ll checkout the ublue stuff, thanks for the heads up. I started with Mint but agree with you, Kinoite is a perfect replacement. Very familiar UI, very modern, and all the stuff you said.

How does dark & light mode change on its own? The Bazzite reference I made was I believe I remembered the background changing depending on the time of day or maybe it had a button to switch the modes in the panel with easy access (can’t quite remember). On Kinoite I have the screen set to red light automatically at a certain time but the theme doesn’t change to dark with it. Is this a possible feature with Plasma?

That’s not native to Kinoite and since the computer is for my Dad and it’ll be his first Linux experience I don’t want to be adding things with RPM-OSTree. I did add some more info on the key into my post. I hope that helps you

Not sure what that macro is for but I added more info on my post about the key. I hope it helps

I don’t know and I won’t be testing it. This computer is for my Dad and will be his first Linux experience so I can’t be running any experiments. It would be interesting to find out though

What’s cfw? I have the + variant and just play GBA on it. GBA runs perfectly well. I have MinUI as the OS so it boots up and loads games really quick.
