Pop!_OS for life!
Pop!_OS for life!
Ubuntu is the typical go-to.
Id recommend pop!_os personally.
Fedora is another great option.
The reality is, as a new Linux user, you’ll probably hop around quite a bit. I say go for it! Try out everything you want.
The polonium treatment!
Honestly though, was this just another dumb pointless trucker convoy by ignorant morons?
This is exactly the type of friction that made RiF my “reddit”. It’s not even close to the same experience and it’s painful.
The “right to be forgotten” rules are, with all due respect to the EU regulators, pretty shortsighted.
I think the initial “right to be forgotten” lawsuit that Google faced from that Spanish guy-- where he claimed bankruptcy years prior. People( potential lenders?) kept finding that information online through google searches. He sued to have Google remove those sites from the index. He won and the Spanish Judge told Google they had to remove those results from searches.
But it didn’t change that the information was still on each site. Those sites, the ones that actually held the information didn’t get sued, just Google.
It also opened the door for oppressive governments covering up human rights abuses or hide other information they dont want widely available.
Google appealed and won: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-49808208
I also want to point out that this Spanish guy’s situation is very different from “posting publicly on social media”. He was getting written about by others and the courts eventually said “no, this can stand. This information should remain available”. So I imagine, public statements made by an individual certainly wouldn’t qualify to be forgotten.
At the end of the day, to me, this is a technical decision not a privacy one.
I dont know that its how they brand themselves, but Pop!_OS is a fantastic linux gaming distro.
Its based on Ubuntu, but they do several very important things: they update/patch the kernel with the latest drivers and goodness and provide the latest nvidia proprietary drivers. So you get the stability and durability of ubuntu + newer kernel support which means things like much more current mesa drivers (for radeon cards).
I’ve been using it full-time for 3 (or 4?) years now. I technically have my PC dual booting with Windows for gaming reasons, but since the steamdeck took off all of the big games I want to play are available on linux. I’ve logged into windows exactly 2 times and that was to run updates.
Pop has been rock solid and turned out to be a great gaming OS.
I game on Pop. I left windows on dual boot just in case, but I have only logged into Windows 2 times in 18 months and that was just to run updates because I realized I hadn’t logged in.
Since the Steamdeck came out, TONS more games work on linux.
Davinci Resolve works on Pop as well. You are kinda screwed with Lightroom and PS though.
