You don’t carry a laptop around while you’re hiking?

Like as in beer? No. Or free as in freedom? Also no.

However, iCloud will give you a large amount of the feature set for a fraction of the price (starts at $0.99/mo) and will likely give privacy not too far from what Proton gives you.

In the end, there’s always a risk with putting any information on the web.

iCloud+ has this too. 50 seems to be the limit.

This might be due to how easy Apple makes it to implement this sort of thing. Even if the app isn’t on the App Store.

On iOS, apps must be on the App Store, which requires being enrolled in the Apple developer program. I imagine developers then make their apps paid to cover this.

This is what AI is for.

Yes, the MX150 is an option for the ThinkPad T480. You can still use the integrated graphics though.

First, you gotta check for ultraviolet, ghost writing, and freezing temps.

(I really hope somebody gets that reference)

I absolutely agree with you, but look at launchers and such. Steam is very much proprietary and commercial. I find it a little odd that those who might do anything to avoid proprietary software, willingly use it for gaming.

Those are just my thoughts.

Is it just me or has using a brand name as a regular noun become really common? For example, Android-based devices are just referred to as “an Android”.

It’s so odd how proprietary software is frowned upon so much in this community, but no one cares when it comes to gaming.

i5 4790K and a… 7900 XTX?

Either that or they have 20 useless extensions.

 
 

Most settings applications (GNOME Settings, KDE Control Center) give very limited access to managing lower level components in the system. For example, kernel management, managing groups, etc.

If they did though, in your opinion, what would be the most effective way to offer a simple experience for some users, and more control for those who need it? How would most desktops implement this "hybrid" approach?

Or should users not be able to control those things graphically at all?
