I’m also curious about the Index successor…

Yeah, my personal preference is still to always enable the firewall (also in a home setup) and I still recommend to do so, but I guess it is no longer a sin to not do so.

Quoting: TerracePop really has it turned off by default, and is the default setting of the distro, it's not me honest! :whistle:

No worries, I'm not doubting your honesty :)

Reading a bit on the subject, Ubuntu seems to do the same, ufw is installed, but not active because there are no open ports by default. So apparently I'm slightly out-of-date on this subject, so apologize for my strong wording.
That said, Fedora e.g. has firewalld activated by default so it's not that black and white.

Quoting: Terrace

Quoting: GuestDon't worry about these vulnerabilities too much, if they are exploited on your system, it means that attacker has already penetrated your firewall, logged in, uploaded malware and executed it, or you installed and malware and running it. This is just the icing of security cake.

I think Pop_os comes with something called ufw as a firewall but it's off by default, and i havent looked into turning it on. I also kind of wanted to know how to be on the latest Nvidia drivers too for a gaming reason, something about the latest version being able to use the shaders shipped with the game instead of needing to rebuild them, I'm not completely sure

Huh? Having a firewall turned off these days on any machine would be very irresponsible. I strongly advise in setting it at least to the default settings of your distro.
That said, I really cannot imagine that Pop has it turned off by default.

Quoting: CyborgZetaI would recommend a flavor like Kubuntu over Ubuntu, especially for a new user. Plasma is going to look more "sane" than GNOME, which is something I can attest to from back when I first tried Linux.

I think it depends on where you are coming from. I guess KDE/Plasma feels more familiar for Windows users, whereas Gnome is much closer to macOS.

I'm using Fedora (plus negativo17 repos for NVIDIA drivers) at home for a.o. gaming where a little bump once in a while is acceptable and Ubuntu LTS at work where things needs to be rock-solid. So yeah agree :)

(Really the only thing I don't like is the very intrusive push to snaps, otherwise Ubuntu LTS is close to perfect for focusing on getting things done)

Thanks a lot for highlighting the differences to the former beta!

I've updated this morning, contrary to the update to fc36, this update to fc37 went really smooth.

Quoting: okasionThis game shows how adventure games weren't a fad, I don't what happened or why, but you can become engrossed with The Return to Monkey Island as you would get with any other game that has a story to tell and there's no grinding. I don't know why it hasn't happened for so many years until this game 10/10 came out. Really makes you think.

Yeah same here. To my own surprise I’m now starting RTMI every time instead of Uncharted 4 :) (I bought both roughly at the same time)

I’m playing since the beta arrived on Linux. It’s a wonderful game, feels modern and nostalgic at the same time, without overdoing it like initially in Thimbleweed park. Humor and music really matches my taste and also the art style fits perfectly (I had needed may be one minute to get used to it).

Highly recommend!
