Mint is a good choice ! They have a decent help forum where you could ask for such help. Like this one for example. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=228884 Feel free to give more details here too, maybe i, or someone else here could help you with your specific Mac problem.

You’ll get plenty of answers with different suggestions, so I’ll suggest checking in that community for plenty of previous answers. I would say to stick with “main” known distribution and to ditch specialized ones. https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Single-Maintainer https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Distros

I’m on Nobara but despite the fantastic work of GloriousEggRoll, it did had it’s lot of breakage which made me want to switch to the suggested uBlue Fedora atomic builds, per those criterias.

Yes.

That game use Battle-eye btw.

You can. It just show you everything that need additional info. You can just choose to move the map to the shop you want to edit hours and do that. You can also filter the StreetComplete missions in the settings if you want to only update business hours and description.

What I don’t get, but maybe because of the lack of information I have on the topic

Exactly. That’s also the issue there. It was opt-out by default AND didn’t seemed to give enough info to the end-user about what it does, and why it would be better to keep it enabled. Most people, complain about the forced default decision without any notice, and without any appropriate info to understand if it was a decent change or not. You should only enable it, IF you understand and ablige to what it does.

Exactly that. Each instances has it’s own rules and as such, you can make your own on your own instance. Just don’t be surprised that some instances block you for not abliging to their standards, as they also control their own federation, like each individual instances.

First. Let me explain some bits about the Play Store. You are using the Google Play store, so of course, it stores the list of installed apps on your Google account. That’s fairly obvious. However, the relation with the apps generally end there. Some apps might have Google account integration (Google Games for example, or just as a login method) but not more than that. There’s also potential Google ads and Crashalytics, but it ain’t “directly” connected to your Google account (It link your device through an unique ID, which Google could correlate with your logged Google account on this device)

That out of the way :

• ProtonMail android app doesn’t use any of those Google stuff in it.
• You can download their app separately of the Google Play Store. Throught their website, source-code release or F-Droid (Depending of their project. Proton isn’t consistency with those)
• ProtonMail don’t care about your Google account, outside of importing your emails into your new Protonnail account if you choose to do so.

Also, there is still a privacy gain, from using an email address from Protonmail, but only when you use it. It is just a better and more private e-mail provider. If you keep using a Gmail and Outlook email, than you will still issues with those emails addresses be used and read, for ads and analytics.

Do note you can use your protonmail address on your Google and Microsoft account. Those services just tend to automatically create an email account on their respectice services by default (Gmail & Outlook) but they aren’t required.

Have you looked at the community you are referring to? Ain’t FOSS. Instead, I would suggest https://removerized.tech/ (Locally in your browser AND hostable, under GPL-3) https://github.com/yossTheDev/removerized Or rembg https://github.com/danielgatis/rembg

• Download and Install Fallout 4, from Steam or GOG
• Downgrade the game using their own Downgrader tool https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4london/mods/1 Source and latest binaries here : https://github.com/Fallout-London/FOLON-FO4Downgrader A bit in panic at the moment, you may need to compile it yourself to fix some openssl version issues or to make it launch on Wayland. Consult the Issues tab on GitHub for common fixes.

(You can also downgrade manually, instructions at the bottom of the page. https://fallout4london.com/release/ There’s also instructions on how to manually install the mod if you are having issues with the GOG Installer, there’s ways to extract the raw files from GOG installer executables)

• Download and Install Fallout London. And select the correct game folder as asked.
• ???
• Profit ! (I’m installing it too at that moment on a Nobara(Fedora) machine. Will tell you if i had to do more than said.)

Well, on my ESTA, they said the social medias disclosure is optional. Just a tool to help you confirm your intents visiting the US (or to be withheld against you as well) https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/faq?lang=en&focusedTopic=Privacy and Security&answerToDisplay=How will CBP use my social media information collected through the additional question that was added to the ESTA application in December 2016%3F

Maybe you would be interested into maintaining Gradience instead of making a new LibAdwaita theming app from scratch ? Just thinking, haven’t tested it but I don’t see any straight reasons for one over the other outside the maintainership. https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience

They don’t. They rely entirely on donations (and sponsorship donations). It also mean, they have less resources to maintain and develop their software, ESPECIALLY Conqueror since it’s not as much well-maintained compared to other parts of the KDE software suite. Plus, Firefox do maintain their own web-engine, while KDE just use the WebKit one, so even more reasons that Firefox can’t substain with the resources KDE currently has.

The main goal of GrapheneOS is security. And on that, it does make a difference. In addition, the Google services are sandboxed. On a privacy stand-point, it doesn’t improve much, but so does installing the same proprietary apps on any other devices/operating systems.

Register a new account over that phone number. They can’t get into any previous accounts register with that phone number. They could potentially manage to find the pin if the previous user really used a guessable one, but then again, they won’t be able to check the previous messages and the linked owner of that account will be warned of that new connection.

Sure do confirm that hard-coded sudo requirements are kinda dumb. But this proove systemd point. BSD mainly use doas. Linux mainly use sudo. Why not have an universal method for true cross-platform compatibility ? (Yes, I know plenty prefer or explicitly are against the usage of systemd suite of software, was pointing out systemd main reason of planning to propose an another standard, regardless if it will be popular or not)

When was the last time you had to edit sudo configuration file ? Same goes for doas. It’s has nothing going for, for the majority of desktop Linux users (from what I got as an answer)

Speaking of doas, is there any advantage of using it when… sudo is still available to be used? I agree that most of the stuff we require to use doesn’t need all the options sudo as, but if it is for the sake of security, maintenance, and stability… is there any reason to use doas ON TOP of the already setup sudo or su? In the past, I even tried to just apply a simple alias to replace sudo with doas, but numerous scripts and programs when trying to request explicit super-user permissions, just didn’t know what to do with doas as expected, so this ain’t it.

Okay, so it wasn’t VNC, it was ssh stuff instead.

Similarly, there’s System Admin Girl★まんがでわかるLinux シス管系女子 Imported a physical edition just for the quirky factor of a Linux Admin manga, but it is pretty well made and does explain pretty well some bits (even if from the first episode, they explain how to do VNC if i remember, from a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop, so fairly easy and old) but it still on-going !
