Install and configure lm_sensors. Then cpu temp will show up in $sensors or other TUI programs

My mom is old. Her whole workflow is just open the browser and go to gmail, and forward me a bunch of spams…

Whether its on iOS or debian, you can’t tell the difference unless you’re looking hard

At least your mom was cool enough to try. I had to trick my mom into using linux by putting a macOS themed, KDE, debian on an old macbook that was identical to her dead macbook

I dont really care that the average person still uses twitter… What’s INFURIATING is that gov’t agencies are still using that shit. Why are important pieces of information still being shared on twitter??

One of my machines i’ve been just upgrading in place since debian 8. No need for new installation

Debian isn’t barbaric at all.

I’ll give that a try. I actually never figured out scanning on linux

Brother printers have a good reputation in the linux world. Not sure what the current status is… My printer is over 15 yrs old

OSS is a corporate lie. What you are describing is free software. Freedom to modify and distribute

Make Xperia Compact great again!!!

Modern phones do not fit in my pants pockets anymore… Wtf

Webrings ftw!!!

Does the boot screen look ok? Does the login screen look ok?

I had a problem with my new 9070 on debian KDE, and the issue was with color accuracy setting

(Is debian considered a “debian-based” distro?)

Debian users, ignore the above. Debian explicity warns against using ubuntu ppa

The correct way to get libreoffice in debian is just to apt install libreofffice… It’s already in the main debian repos

Unfortunately we have a whole generaton of entitled babies who scream “paywall!!!” every time somebody asks for compensation for their work

My desktop has been running debian for 5 years no problem including 2 major debian version upgrades, and a new(er) GPU.

I had an old laptop that ran the same debian install for 8 years. All upgrades in place, no reinstalls.

boring, and works. Stable + backports should cover the majority of people with new hardware support needs.

But my chromecast transports digital signal to my DAC. Probably better quality than the DAC in the bluetooth speaker

I think the problem is that a lot of people are just running flatpaks, dockers, and third party repos which might not be getting timely updates.

I try to stick to debian packages for everything as much as possible for this reason.

Read the post above mine… “Privacy respecting options” are almost always downstream forks of firefox. Abandon/kill the source, and downstream dries up

This needs to be higher up. We need firefox as an alternative to a chrome engine monopoly. ToS and telemetry are miniscule issues compared to what we are up against

Firefox is literally the last thing standing between google controlling the entire browser landscape and having control over all web standards (as if they dont already have too much influence)

People ditching firefox over tos, telemetry, AI, CEO pay, etc. are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Do i wish mozilla would stop doing stupid shit? Of course. But the alternative is far worse. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good. Mozilla will never be as ideologically pure as we want them to be, but that’s OK (for now)
