Also Freetube, Newpipe
I bought a second hand Surface Pro 5 (2017), running Fedora gnome
I’ve started to write a review because I couldn’t really find one, and most of the comments are overly positive (as it often goes on Linux forums I’ve come to realize). It’s not done yet
But I can summarize it: as a tablet it’s not great but it mostly works. It’s certainly not for someone not ready to troubleshoot, and many problems have no, or no great solutions. Also gnome used with touch controls has a major bug (which, again, nobody ever mentions for some reason. It will be in my review)
As a 2 in 1 with little touch use it could be alright. The pen is quite good if you want to draw or write, even though there’s a small delay. The cover is okay, but you’d be better off with a quality laptop keyboard and big trackpad
I bought it mainly for reading, mostly European format comics (bandes dessinées). The resolution is great for that, and the size is good with a reader that removes white margins
Edit: to give you an idea I bought it for 190€ two months ago, with all accessories, good condition and good battery health (which does not mean battery life is good)
I loved Chaotic-AUR when I was using Arch. No waiting to build AUR packages, you know if it works right away.
You have to decide if you trust the source. Personally I’m not worried.
Also if you know how to fix an AUR package you can open a ticket on their github and they will update it immediately most of the time.

Which emulator should I use for the latest Zelda on Linux?
CEMU and BotW worked great. Yuzu wasn’t really working at the time but maybe it’s the better option now?

I just read the article and I don’t see how it’s misleading. Google introduced a delay before video starts for adblock users
I’m having a hard time figuring it out also. An article says in 2018 they had 20B pages indexed… but they didn’t use them?
People won’t try to understand the difference between meta search engine and real one most likely. But if they did, i believe some would choose the “60% independent”, the same way they choose a “60% recycled material”
Qwant has web crawlers. It started with indexing the German and French web, and the plan was to progressively rely less on Bing
Since the search engine is a failure I suppose they didn’t develop it further.
Phoenix doesn’t even recognize his own name in a French accent
French, but with a Spanish accent
Privacy
Yesterday I couldn’t log into my session. The password was correct, yet it wouldn’t work. I had to reboot and lose whatever I was doing.
That was a first. And it feels like every week since I’ve started using Linux forever ago I discover a new very annoying bug
For a long time I liked tinkering, customizing, and tolerated fixing bugs… but this time is mostly gone
Were it not for privacy, (and the feeling my computer is truly mine and not rented from a giant corporation) I would switch to something more stable

Your link is for an iGPU
Here for Intel Arc
From January but it hasn’t improved all that much
The fix for power consumption is changing a setting for ASPM in motherboard (if it supports it) and pluging the monitor in the motherboard directly. It worked for me on windows but not on linux (no workaround AFAIK) This means 40W idling instead of 1W
STOP recommending Intel Arc for Linux, people. Do any of you saying that even own one?
what about Posteo? when I compaired many providers a few years ago they seemed like one of the the most ethical
one caveat: you can’t use your own domain name, for privacy reasons. I wish they gave the option though. maybe it has changed since
no idea about calendar invites
