Definitely, he should try using Linux in a typical Microsoft-driven corporate environment with a regular laptop for a month and see how it is.

It's all I care about, unfortunately.

I want Proton to succeed simply on an ideological basis, but myself and a lot of other people are being severely hampered by this lack of functionality on the Linux desktop, which is ironic given that this is where the privacy-centric user base lives. As a customer of both Proton Unlimited and Proton Business, I don't feel taken care of, and almost all the alternatives have some functional, easy to use drive sync functionality on Linux, on top of letting me use the cloud calendar locally.

I'm slowly migrating away from Proton Business use towards hosted mail + NextCloud as it did not meet my needs at all for a 90% Linux desktop use case, but I hope to revisit it in the future.

Still waiting for the Linux Drive client.

Microsoft is in bed with Canonical though, so Snaps are their preferred method of software delivery.

You do make a good point that there is a decent selection of proprietary software on Linux, but some of these are half-assed attempts (Discord, Zoom, Proton), and the vast majority of vendors are not thinking about Linux at all.

Vendors don't give a shit about Linux.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Most people's opinions tend to not be this extreme, however.

This does indeed directly solve OP's original problem, but it does not answer the question of why GNOME Software isn't working as it should.

Some cases let you mount the GPU vertically, especially SFF cases. This would display the fans of the GPU through the glass.

I've seen some people paint their GPU backplate.

That's what my research suggests, it doesn't get a good signal in Canada because it's missing some of our bands.

Google phones still don't solve the repairability problem for me, but a Pixel with Graphene flashed onto it is theoretically the best thing for your privacy.

It's strange that no Lemmy client does this automatically

I wish the bands worked in Canada
