Not enough comments in thread. New account. Weird facts, some of which is contextually pseudo tech.
So yeah, A lot more evidence needed. Pcap dump? With your skills I’m sure you can redact anything self identifying.
Edit: forgot the weirdest part. 127TB for data? Example: At full 1GB/s that’s 12+ days flooding that link. To sneak that much data out would take weeks.
Also I don’t buy someone with serious data doesn’t have some physical backups.
These are the people in power now. There should be an international year or celebration when the last person born before the year 2000 dies, with minor celebrations for each decade leading up to that year.
The choice for me was something that did well in gaming. Features like good VRR support made the voice of KDE plasma the only option. I’m not bothered about the KDE UI. It is nice, and similar to windows, so ready enough to get along with.
I am monitoring Cosmic. Once it has HDR and solid VRR, etc I may try it out.
What are they attacking at this point? There can only be burnt out buildings, camps, and starving kids.

Solid rant. The amazing thing is how quickly people learn to live with whatever they currently have. It explains iPhone users.
EndeavourOS is the way to go, btw.
Most of what you said went a bit over my head. I have the Topping E2x2 audio interface. I did some testing of each setting combination on Windows. And it just works. I’m definitely using settings the hardware supports. Linux just doesn’t seem mature in this area.
No. This is a multi purpose pc. Gaming, audio, work, VM. On windows this is fine but not on Linux. Not sure an RT kernel is good for my use case.
Using pipewire. It depends on which settings I use for the sample and bit rate. On windows I can use almost any combination, and baring a few older games, there is no stuttering or breakup. In Linux I find only specific sample and bit rates work well. The others cause stuttering and audio drops.
Also changing sample and bit rates is not straightforward. I’ve found utils that help but the only reliable way I’ve found is to edit the configs then restart the service.
I agree. Most of my graphics issues were related to my DE choice. KDE plasma has been by far the best in this regard.
Hmm, if not straight Arch then EndeavourOS or CachyOS first.
That’s the intended goal of big tech AI orgs. AI is a weapon and is sold to governments using fear as the key motivator. It is the same as any other weapons manufacturer. The military budget has few constraints and corporations know this. AI won’t fail. Governments will make sure of it because they will be dependent on it, just likes all other weapons.
Audio. As much as windows has issues, it is not hard to get good latency. The same process is it less accessible to most users. A reliable gui is needed.
VST’s and their associated DRM is a blocker but not the fault of Linux. The same is true for hardware that can only be properly configured with a windows or Mac only tool. These problems need a critical mass of users, and a legal requirement to support Linux for mainstream products. (EU, I’m talking to you)
I’ve been running EndeavourOS on my server for about 3 years, and on desktop for about 18 months. My DE is KDE plasma which is perfect for me, being similar to windows but customisable.
You can deploy the CachyOS performance tweaks and kernel to EndeavourOS if you fancy best of both. (See the CachyOS install guide).
Personally I prefer the barebones of EOS to something that has already made software choices for me.
I always thought they should have a 15 second gif for each DE showing off the general form factor. That looks and feel is all most people care about.
Until Adobe patch’s the installer and licencing server to prevent it from working at all. (Too cynical?)
The rest of the world needs to have the guts to tell Donny fart man eat butts. Trump Always Chickens Out.
It’s a wildcard, but T seems obvious to me.
Worked in UK universities as an Enterprise Architect. Can confirm you can’t rely on those email addresses. It is a gift most Unis provide to graduates, but they’re not obligated to maintain it, or fix it when it goes wrong.
As per above, register your own domain name (I use my own full name .co.uk). This allows me to have lots of email addresses for (shopping@ work@ games@ amazon@ etc etc). Also, if the email host gets too expensive, does something you don’t like, or just cuts you off, you can point your domain name to another host and pick up from there. Obviously it is a good idea to keep a local backup of your emails (thunderbird or outlook) just in case.
