Adding on to this.
If you don’t know what a command does you can read the manual running the “man” command. Run “man” followed by the command you want to read about. It also works for some system files too!
Also if you fix something like a driver issue for a game that took a lot of research. WRITE IT DOWN. It WILL come in handy in the future.
Windows does support encrypted drives with Bitlocker, unfortunately Bitlocker’s default settings leave it vulnerable to many different attacks.
It will only show families in Utah that fluoridation works. They are incapable of learning from the mistakes of others. See Buffalo.
Buffalo removed Fluoride from the water supply and it caused measurable harm to children and there are multiple ongoing class action lawsuits. This caused the city to start adding fluoride to the water supply again.
This will not go any other way for Utah.

However, this has some restrictive OS requirements so it may not be applicable.
Do you have a source on Taiwan banning the local model? I only see this:
“Government agencies and critical infrastructure should not use DeepSeek, because it endangers national information security,” according to a statement released by Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs, per Radio Free Asia.
“DeepSeek AI service is a Chinese product. Its operation involves cross-border transmission, and information leakage and other information security concerns.”

Its perfect code. It needs no updates. Ignore the open issues about it crashing on startup.

This is 90s thinking. Why must terminal emulators only be text and only do things that a physical terminal could?
I keep trying to imagine what abandoning TTY interfaces in Linux would look like and I can’t comprehend the rework that would be required. It’s so fundamentally different.
For example, how would the SSH protocol work? How would that be compatible? Would we have to abandon SSH or always X forward?
There is definitely a pressure to extend beyond standard TTY. Tmux captures mouse action and has a window management system. fish shell has autocomplete. But both of these still use the same medium of text.
I may simply lack the imagination.
TIL viu exists.
I think the issue fundamentally is that this isn’t what terminal emulators are. The terminal emulator initializes a TTY session and enters a shell environment (sh, zsh, fish, etc). The medium is text and cannot be anything else.
Begin able to view images in the terminal would be amazing alone - just like you can cat a text file. I would hate to need to launch a GUI program every time I wanted to see what was inside a text file but that is exactly what I need to do for images or PDFs.
Would be convenient. There are things like neofetch’s backend capabilities that magically embeds images, but I don’t know how it works and it might not be scalable.
Being able to collapse the output of a command would be nice as well.
Skill issue. Pipe your output to something (like a file or the “less” command)
TIL neofetch came out in 2015. I just assumed it was one of those packages that existed since the dawn of computers
The big common ones are i3, Hyprland, or Awesome. However, there are tons out there and there is no right answers.
But also liked when linux felt like a secret.
Don’t worry. You can still tap into that sweet sweet Linux elitism by running an Arch based system or a tiling window manager.

“I want to copy my root, home, and boot partition contents into a bigger drive I formatted with in terminal. Let’s boot from it and see what breaks.”
spoiler
/etc/fstab partition UUIDs needed to be fixed by hand. GRUB config needed to be updated to launch straight into bash and I needed to remount the root directly as R/W because GRUB was trying to protect me from myself.
