So...how did you get that damn partition working?? I've just tried it. Which required me an EFI partition of at least 600MB. I already had it at 500MB but apparently it didn't think that was enough...So I had to reinstall all of windows in order to resize the EFI. Then Nobara installer was happy when I chose the EFI partition as "/boot/efi", and 500GB at the end of the same SSD as "/". After a reinstall, reboot...and it goes to Windows. Ugh. Manually choosing from the BIOS the new "Fedora" entry I get a grub crash. start_image returned "not found"...Wtf? For a "simplified" installation, this is resulting quite the PITA.

EDIT: OMG...figured it out, but holy cow. The installer is rather borked. It demands 600MB for /boot/efi, which at least this, it warns you of. BUT. It will install without warnings a full system and then crap out, if you ignore a very specific requisite not mentioned anywhere during the install! You need at least a 1GB ext4 partition somewhere for /boot. Ignore this, and you're crapped.

Yes i know. But it's a brand new computer and i want to see it working. Moreover, if it's not working here it might not work in any other game, so this is something i want to make work.

Doesn't look...very user-friendly? As a lazy ubuntu/deb user, I'm a bit concerned about jumping to rpm/arch...Isn't there any other alternatives that are ubuntu/debian-based with KDE?

Except, in my country, the banking website will NEED a token generated on the banking app. Internet banking assumes a smartphone with their app...or it's completely blocked what you're allowed to do.

Well yeah...but eventually you end up needing some banking app or some other crap that might need G-Services.

Unfortunately openPGP is very rarely used by anyone.

My point exactly. What's the point of having an encrypted mailbox if everything that arrives to it is unencrypted and easily intercepted?

[–] iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

The biggest difference would be the theoretical claim that proton can't know anything about your emails because the mailbox itself is encrypted. The calendar too. This also means these accounts aren't compatible with any IMAP/POP3/Activesync clients, and you need to install your own proton plugin to use it with them. On the desktop. On the phones they have their own apps, since you can't use the phone email app nor the phone calendar. They are a bit lacking there too. Regarding the mailbox theoretical encryption claim, I'm sure it's really encrypting everything. It's just, email is inherently unencrypted (unless it's proton to proton) as it travels along the servers, unless you go to several pains to encrypt it, and your destinatary too, to decrypt it on their end. So for most purposes, right now the main difference between these two doesn't seem all that useful and it continues to be relatively simple to intercept/read your email along the way, since most likely it won't be encrypted anyway.

Ignoring the gapps part is... Tricky.

...the first, I'm afraid. It continues to jump the windows out of place, about 3 times within 2 seconds, every 20 seconds or so...

I think it's indeed related to detecting the TV on and off. On the previous PC (this one is just brand new) this didn't happen.

A second update after this is, since I'm using Wayland and multi-monitor (two HDMI connections, one the main monitor, the second to a big LCD TV)...when the TV is turned off, the monitor starts to flicker rearranging the windows (!?). I describe the issue a bit more in detail here... https://lemm.ee/post/14853567
