I’m aware of the history feature. It doesn’t do what you seem to think it does (keep a tab in suspension in an easily accessible location over multiple hours or days of browsing).

Now, the OneTab extension? That’s actually suitable for this purpose. History doesn’t do what it does.

No, you’d have to read the article that this one linked to. :b

I like Busuu. But like Duolingo, using it by itself isn’t a good idea; you need to study grammar and vocabulary separately to learn at a decent pace.

Busuu’s best feature is its community corrections from native speakers, but they’ve been nerfed a lot in the past decade. You can still get something out of it though, just don’t pay for premium (even on sale) because it’s not really worth it.

I want to add, for OP and others’ sake, that you don’t need to add all of your Steam games to Lutris/Heroic/whatever in order to play them. This step (enabling Proton) is all you should need.

I have a “I will not ever go back to Windows” mindset and I think that helps. If I fuck up my system to the point it’s not immediately fixable, I have a separate /home partition so I can wipe / and start over without worrying too much. I look for answers to fix things on my phone when my system is inaccessible so I’m not stuck.

I am really not a Linux expert, but I was a Windows power user and I like to fix things myself and understand the basics of why it broke.

Yeah, I had one working at some point but the others didn’t work out. It really does seem like Wine GE is where it’s at for me, it just works like 99% of the time no matter who the repacker is.

If it’s the repacker I’m thinking of (JC), he makes it so complicated for no reason. Was that the case again here or was it someone else? I’d rather just use Lutris than his releases.

The 10th generation Paperwhite is known as the Paperwhite 4 (PW4). I have one and I jailbroke it many years ago. I’ve even accidentally uninstalled the jailbreak and was able to re-jailbreak it.

Read all of this very carefully. Make sure that your firmware version is 5.14.2 or earlier.

Then read (again, carefully) about this jailbreak method and follow the installation instructions.

I don’t think that you understand this very well. You definitely don’t need a monopoly in the video media platform space in order to restrict competition to an unfair degree. For example, the forced sale of Fox Sports to Bally in 2021 by the courts in order to retain a small modicum of competition in broadcasting despite the existence of other networks. Maybe you should look into it a bit more before you declare it’s not an issue?

Okay, I hope you can find some kind of other solution then. Didn’t realize you aren’t able to leave your home. Sorry for trying to help you?

I can assure you that you can still access the used market with these limitations since you can arrange to meet others at a public place nowhere near your home. A lot of the groups and sales are on Facebook though, so that’s a huge bummer.

But you could also check your local vaping meetups, flea markets, or pawn shops, as well as classifieds websites such as Kijiji or Craigslist (those are the 2 most well-known where I live, your local area may use other websites). You should be able to entirely avoid shipping if vaping is common where you live.

Have you considered checking out the used market? I haven’t seriously vaped since 2016 when I used it to quit smoking (and all my vape stuff got stolen in a move in 2017), but I remember that the used mod scene was pretty damn good back in the day.

I have a OBS Cube-X that’s still going strong and does everything I want it to, so a used single-18650 like that might fit the bill depending on your needs and is probably way less than $100.

LXQt or XFCE if I have to pick a DE. Fluxbox or openbox if I can get away with just a WM. ;)

Downloading isn’t the issue, it’s seeding (uploading to other peers, which is considered distribution of copyrighted material).

I’m not sure that I agree that low-contrast text in the top panel is friendly to old people (or anyone, for that matter). Text that contrasts with the background is way easier to read and strains your eyes less.

I would hate to use this desktop, it’s a pain in the ass to even read the clock in the top corner. I don’t even have vision problems.

I really like Debian. There’s a version of Linux Mint called Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) that I recommend for people new to Linux. My wife has been using it for about 6 months.

The easiest way to install is by using the live image on a USB drive. I recommend installing Ventoy on the USB first if you like the idea of having a dedicated USB for boot images. Totally not necessary, but can be useful.

I’m on my second install now. I fucked up the first one pretty handily by accidentally wiping the boot partition in gparted. (Like a complete idiot, because the partitions are labeled.)

This sucks ass. I’m a lifetime Plex Pass holder, so this doesn’t affect me yet, but who’s to say they won’t fuck over lifetime users sooner rather than later?

Honestly, this made me consider setting up Jellyfin. What the fuck?
