Just throwing it out there as an option. Good luck.

Maybe reshare the directory locally through Samba on your VM?

Its good that people care enough to keep finding these vulnerabilities

Honestly must be incredibly stressful managing a project like the Linux kernel. Governments constantly wanting changes made for their own purposes, companies leeching off the work of volunteers, neck beards losing their minds over some change they don’t like.

I don’t envy them at all. This sort of change was inevitability going to piss people off - it could have been handled better but I think it was going to be lose/lose no matter which way it was done.

Just a point on Wayland - I have an nvidia GPU and have been on Wayland for a couple months now (KDE Plasma), and its been entirely problem free and I actually forgot I switched from X11 to Wayland.

Blender has support for Wayland now too.

I do a lot of gaming and development - ever since Nvidia made those changes for Wayland support and KDE added that explicit sync stuff its been great. Before all of that though I had heaps of issues with flickering and just general usability.

Wayland actually fixed a number of issues for me, like stuttering when notifications appear, and jankyness in resizing windows.

When people say its not ready, it’s normally some specific use case that worked in X11. So, they’re not wrong, but not right either.

The one I wrote myself. Not because its any better ha ha. Its pretty fun to work on it though.

Its been a while for that classic

Only 6 hours on battery? That’s pretty low I’d have thought.

You have my vote. The out of the box experience would be polished and I have no doubt would be done very well.

I think Ubuntu is a solid contender for sure. I had a couple bad experiences with some updates (nothing significant) which didn’t really inspire confidence for me to be able to set it up once and never need any real maintenance on my behalf.

Don’t get me wrong, if I was using the laptop and it had Ubuntu I’d be ok with it because I’m comfortable with Linux. But for a set and (mostly) forget install, I chose Mint.

My vote is Linux Mint. I had installed it on a family members laptop and have been going strong for years without fault.

Lol talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

AMD apologists shaking right now ha ha

That has already been established, yes.

I’d like to know what this is as well? I was hoping Plasma 6 was going to solve my Nvidia + Wayland issues for me, but it didn’t seem to make any difference.

Kinda. It can help grip strength a lot, or at least holding weights in that way can. But its not a grip strength exercise. Deadlifts, barbell/dumbell shrugs, farmers carry, curls, etc… stuff like that can all help improve grip strength while not being the primary goal of the exercise.

Yep, Remmina is awesome. I wish I had it at work.

I’ve been using my install script for so long, I’ve forgotten that single click was the default. I guess that’s at least one extra line I can remove.
