Why are you upgrading? Are you after a specific feature? Are you aware of any security vulnerabilities not addressed?
Is there anything you want from the new version now that’s worth the risk of finding some bugs?
Sometimes you just wanna upgrade, because it’s fun.
Though if you must have stability because you need the machine to just work because it’s the only one you have for work/school, I’d say wait till closer to EOL.
I’m not bothering to dig it back up, but I thought I remember something like it was based on a policy when a verified user changes their logo. The verification was put back once reverified. Stupid, yes, but if policy it makes more sense.
I’m not big on defending Xitter, but IF this is uniformly handled, this is the least of our reasons to get torches and pitchforks after them.
To stay away from the influence of google’s business practices and their influence on chromium.
If that’s the case foxnews would like cut out most of the challenge. I’m not old enough to have adult children yet but I still have a hard time grasping news channels are entertainment venues.
News used to be actual news done by reporters. It had credibility and a degree of respect. This shift has been near impossible for my parents generation
Not sure if it would meet your requirements, but if specific enough to your phones current control capabilities; would a shortcut or automation app meet your needs. I seem to remember them being able to prompt for input. It might be a more COTS approach for you depending on your needs.
Must be. I had difficulties with it at one point, and I ended up living at the URL from some search results and was able to figure out what it wanted. I thought the missing slash might have been your issue.
I think Qwant is as close as you’re going to get unless you can set up searchxng to do what you are asking.
Now, you might be able to get better diversity in results if you use a vpn to move to more diverse or contrasting cities.
I often find news sources external to the US to be very interesting insights to what we see rammed down our throats.
Unless you really need/want browser only, you might get away with any “lightweight” distro depending on the specs of the machine.
I assume you’re trying to install on something like a Chromebook. This might get you in the right direction. https://www.linuxfordevices.com/tutorials/linux/best-linux-distros-for-chromebook
It would have a lot more functionality too.
Yep, boot from a thumb drive or if you’ve got the power for it run a vm in windows. When you’re ready for the half commit phase, dual boot. Then you can pick windows or Linux at startup.
I’ve never posted a question on a Linux forum, but I’ve searched and used lots. I currently run Linux mint and then put windows in a VM if I really need a windows app.
If you’re not a gamer (with caveats) and don’t have to use msoffice desktop apps you’ll likely be fine in Linux.
For gaming a lot of steam games are supported but not all so there’s some gap there.
Try a live version(run from a thumb drive) or a virtual box environment. It’s come a long way in 20 years. I’d recommend an easier distribution to start like Ubuntu or mint. Note Ubuntu comes in gnome and kde interfaces. Kde is more start menu like to me.
Once I got everything working on my hardware, I was able to stop fussing with it. Privacy and lack of bloat was my reason to switch from windows.
You just gotta do what’s right for you. That might be windows, Mac, Linux, or something else.
Wouldn’t that be known as a land contract?
