The enclosure for my SV08 arrives today. Looks like my first ABS print is decided. I was trying to figure out how to cleanly/neatly arrange a cable on the dash (from the break controller display) so it doesn't block a couple switches and the stereo. Thanks for the design!

GTA5 still works, just not online/multi-player. Story mode works.

Family and some friends from back in my days in the military. Those guys are who I keep an eye on, because they don't use it as frequently as my family.

I use it to track users use/watch habits, to restrict their access if need be. Every user with a password that may or may not be strong is a weak point in my network security.

I would agree. But for the very basics starting and learning, the UI isn't that intimidating.

OpenMediaVault (OMV) is a Debian server with a very user-friendly web interface. It also has solid documentation and a robust community. I've been running it for 6 years, and I am very happy with it.

If you're on Windows and mildly frustrated about whatever MS is doing that week, the thing you want is a one button install that does everything for you, works first time and requires zero tinkering in the first place.

This is the reason my 77 year old father in law switched. It seemed like every couple of weeks, he was calling me because Microsoft changed something. And it confused him, and he thought he broke something. I got so frustrated that I asked if he was open to trying Linux. After having him try some distros on Live USB, he went with Pop.

Haven't heard from him other than the occasional question about how to do something new.

I used nothing but Linux for my Master's and am currently using it for my doctorate. I've been full-time on Linux for over 10 years.

I did find that OnlyOffice played better with MS Office than LibreOffice. I also use the school's Office 365 that they provided me to open my finished files in the web version to verify the formatting matched. There was only one time it didn't.

Vuescan is great, and near as I can tell it's one guy. Totally worth it.

Pop has automatic updates now.

The other partner in FUTO is Louis Rossman. Maybe one cancels out the other?

Ummm, their SteamDeck runs Pop? Have you modded it? Because last I checked it ran SteamOS (an immutable Arch variant) and used KDE in desktop mode, whereas Pop uses Gnome...
