Going for another Linux solution than SteamOS is good news in a way in that, the adoption is appearing to go beyond just SteamOS. Great stuff from Zotac.

My LibreOffice documents make their way into IGO's. Never received a complaint :grin:

Great initiative. It's time for a drastic, future-proof change !

I don't know what I'm supposed to do. if I move her to e.g. Linux and LibreOffice... is she going to be able to do her work?
She's 78, she doesn't want to learn new things right now.

I'm not 78, but I have effortlessly transitioned to using LibreOffice for work. It's feature complete, and would say it's 90-95% identical to MS Office. Also, it doesn't crash and piss me off like MS Office. The single time LibreOffice crashed on me, it politely made me aware of it and saved my work before going ahead with the restart, that was so cute, like it's asking for permission to go ahead and die off so I can instantly restart it snd continue where I left off.

Edit: LibreOffice is also on Windows, so it can be tested before committing to the bigger Linux switch.

When comparing the downsides, I believe one should really consider the bullshit Windows pulls off from time to time like the things you mentioned in your message. Often times I see people downplaying all the crap one would have to put up with on Windows, when complaining about the slight cosmetic differences between Windows and Linux, like those are the end of the world.

Linux (Fedora Kinoite) is one-thousand times a better experience for me doing office work than Windows ever was on my work laptop.

Amnesia Rebirth is one of those games I'm not sure if I should buy that'd be perfect to claim for free. Just need to get ahold of Amazon Prime again....

As someone who's passively getting interested in alternative currencies like crypto, specifically Monero: Go away, Fraudsters :woot:.

Interesting concept ! I must say, not a big fan of the name, however.

Will keep an eye out. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

They're also going to be thinking again on reducing the amount of Plasma releases a year from three down to two, which would allow them to better align with Kubuntu and Fedora releases. They will be discussing that again at the Akademy event in a few months time.

Hope they do stick with it this time, ever since I switched it feels like they've been trying to match up with Fedora's release cycles but without success.

Better support for each version and dropping the apparently useless LTS releases sounds like a great change. All the best to the KDE team.

I upgraded my Ultimate 1 through a Windows VM multiple times now without issue.

It's unbelievable how the blockade is so extreme, that the only available methods of giving help are things like cryptocurrency, and this eSims thing (how many phones even support the feature ?).

Unreal.
