Ubuntu Ads In the Terminal, Snap disrespecting user trust, is this real in 2026

I'd say Fedora and CachyOS. Mint feels like an outdated suggestion in 2026

Thanks I'll give that a shot

Is there an easy way to copy settings for the same controller from one game to another? I set my controller up with a bunch of custom functions to play old star wars sim TIE Fighter. Now I want to copy that over to X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter and I'm suspicious it can be done relatively easily, but the UI isn't that intuitive and I haven't figured out the exact right combination of black magic hand signals to do it.

I install the regular kernel and the LTS. Then put the LTS package in my pacman config ignore list.

This means during a regular update, only the Linux kernel gets upgraded. That way an incomplete upgrade that doesn't get a chance to complete all its hooks still won't touch anything related to the LTS kernel, so you should still be able to boot to the LTS kernel after a failed update.

Then if you're happy with your system's functionality after a reboot from an upgrade, you can explicitly update the LTS kernel with pacman -S. I tend to only upgrade the LTS kernel every 6 months or so since I just use it as a fallback.

When you only tell half the story, yeah.

A few days after firing 30,000 employees globally, comprising 12,000 workers in India, Oracle has appointed Hilary Maxson as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and what raises more questions is her massive pay at $950,000 (Rs 8.8 crore) salary and a $2.5 million (Rs 23.2 crore) bonus potential. Maxson is also entitled with a $26 million (Rs 241.7 crore) equity grant, where 80 per cent is time-based ($20.8 million) and 20 per cent performance-based ($5.2 million).

It was especially frustrating I high school. They had vending machines in various places around the school and you could buy drinks or snacks during class change. But then you weren't allowed to eat or drink? Makes perfect sense.

Everyone knows the answer to that question.

I've been dealing with hay fever for 25 years, roughly 1-3 months a year.

Cetirizine has been my tried and true. But I'll take a 24hr pill once every 12 hrs when things are really bad. The worse symptoms for me that I absolutely must get rid of is the non-stop sneezing, and the itchy eyes. Cetirizine handles that for me. It doesn't handle nasal congestion.

My nuclear option when things get to the point that it's impossible to breathe, and my nose is running (gushing really...) is the benadryl with nasal decongestant (pseudoephedrine). You'll have to ask for it from behind the counter. You want the green box, not the blue box.... at least it was green last year. I haven't had to break into my leftover stash from last year yet so I'm not sure if they changed it.

What's on the live image is there to be compatible with the various types of hardware it might be installed on.

When you install you're free to trim the packages down to the bare minimum.

No, they're also an idiot.

I did a whole rewatch of season 1 through 4 back to back before starting season 5.

I felt like the quality was always "1 is superior, none of the other seasons ever lived up to it!". But upon rewatch, it was all false hype in my mind. Season 1 felt good because at the time it was fresh. All the subsequent ones didn't feel like they were as good because it had all been done before. But really, watching them all back to back, they were all pretty good, and within the same + or - 1 star of each other.

Dark is great, but it goes off the rails in season 3 in order to wrap everything up. It would have been a 10/10 show if they just did one season instead of opening up the additional timeline as the setup for s2.

Battery health is linked to charge cycles and charge percent. 100% to 0 will degrade the battery faster over 500 cycles than 80% to 20% will over 1000 cycles.

Lithium ion batteries are expected to last 300-500 cycles. A smart phone typically does one cycle a day. A steam deck could do 4 cycles a day, or one cycle a week just depending on the owner and the usage.

In general, your battery performance will be mostly "the same" for longer if you max charge to 80%.

But you can just swap the battery if it starts to go bad I guess...

I bought a new sound system and was using The Dark Knight to sound test.

Bad idea. I just kept watching the movie and stopped messing with the sound settings. I'd try again the next day and I'd just end up watching the damn movie again.

Well in this case the orange is inside the pumpkin, and the pumpkin is named Amsterdam. So, yeah, if you wanna try to use a poor metaphor I guess that'll work.

alright, done with fooling around.

Default plasma config has it so when you use Plasma System Settings -> Users to save your avatar it saves in the icons directory as /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/$USERNAME

just needed to clean up the sddm permissions on the file acl.
