I have been using Linux since 2007. I have never had to update video drivers manually.

Sure, I don't do gaming. But neither do most grandmothers.

That'll be so handy because your system will break itself automatically!

But what makes me wonder is that I can use Firefox to play videos from the Piped instances I use, yet not in LibreTube when I set the same instance.

Yeah so I'm not the only one! Does anybody know what's the matter?

Can anyone tell me what's up with LibreTube not playing videos recently?

In my case and opinion the Bangle.js 2 is even better.

I had a similar issue on a new out of the box HP Prodesk. Independently of the distro I was running it wouldn't want to wake up from standby. Turned out to be an (firmware?) issue with the SSD. After replacing it everything worked fine.

When I look at my Pi Hole dashboard while my girlfriend's Mac is booted, I'm surprised by how many requests are blocked, given that apple somehow has the reputation of respecting their user's privacy.

And when she boots into Windows 10 MS's data stealing gets downright creepy.
I am lucky enough not to have a Windows 11 PC on my network but I think I would see even more denied requests.

About a year ago I was lucky on eBay, winning an old Acer Switch Alpha 12 for ~95€ including shipping. I think it was released about 2016.

Even if it shows a lot of signs of wear, it is still a very good device. I received it with Windows 11, but of course I didn't want use it like that. 4 gigs of ram aren't enough for that anyway.

So I installed Fedora. (Had to rename the uefi boot entry for it to boot from disk. This is described elsewhere online but if you read this post and wonder how to do it, please dm me and I'll be happy to help.)

Now this is my primary device for when I'm away from my desktop PC. Gnome is stunning on 2-in-1s IMO, much better than Windows would ever be.

Hardware wise everything works just fine out of the box, apart from the rear camera which isn't recognized, but I wouldn't use that anyway.

Honestly, the Switch Alpha 12 is the poor man's MS Surface and I think it's a shame that Acer has apparently given up on this device class. For now I'm happy to use this pc for as long as I can.

I use Recoleta (in the alternative version) for my personal stuff. I just like the look of it and it's IMO good for both body text and headlines. I also like the slight 70s vintage style.

Ah snap!
