1·5 months agoAegis looks great - I’ll give this a shot. Thanks for the recommendation!
This looks pretty good. Will look into this option for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!
I forgot about Codeberg - I’ll look into that and Gitlab as alternatives. Thanks for the suggestions.
Vorta is a great program for backing up files. Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The best part is it works with Android as well. Whenever I turn my computer on, all my photos on my phone sync to my computer to a folder that gets regularly backed up (using Vorta which is an excellent and easy to use open source backup program for Windows, Linux, and Mac)
3·7 months agoI haven’t had the laptop long enough to know what happens after updates. However, if Microsoft wants to reset any of the changes or reinstall software or features, they will regardless of what methods or tools you’ve used to debloat. I like this tool because it’s easy to run and can be done periodically (like after major updates) without much hassle. And it’s open source on GitHub which I very much appreciate.
Here’s a really nice script to debloat a new Windows install. I bought a new Windows 11 laptop and this made it super easy:

2·7 months agoThe lump sum payout for the $1.3 billion was $621 million. Lottery winnings are taxed as income putting the winner in the 37% federal tax bracket leaving $391.2 million. After taking out Oregon state taxes, the winner would be left with $329.8 million.
The after tax amount for an Oregon winner selecting the cash payout would be $329.8 million.
I bought a brand new Lenovo Yoga laptop, and when connecting to my TV via HDMI, the TV occasionally goes black for a second or 2 then comes back. It doesn’t happen at all when streaming video full screen, only when doing something simple like browsing the Internet. Happens with Windows and Linux, although it’s more frequent on Linux.
When turning off my Samsung TV, every once in a while it decides to turn itself back on about 5 minutes later. This has been going on for several years now.
It doesn’t happen every time, and seems to happen randomly as I can’t replicate the conditions in which it happens. It didn’t happen when I bought the TV, so I suspect it started after Samsung pushed a firmware update. It’s a bug others are experiencing with the same model TV and I’ve tried every fix people suggested online, factory reset the TV, and updated the firmware. My conclusion is that it’s a bug that Samsung needs to fix, but I’m confident they won’t given the TV is about 5 years old now.

Why isn’t KDE Neon ever recommended? It seems like it would be a solid option.
Where did you buy it? Looking for something similar for myself.
Try Material Files file manager. It’s the best file manager I’ve used, connects to remote servers, and is open source
