Is there a non-sense free description.

So far, i learned that notepad can open links from Markdown. I assume Markdown calls some Windows API open(link) where link is any string. That’s hardly a vulnerability by itself, that’s working as designed.

Where does the code execution happen? Is it open(https://hackersite.com/exploite.exe)? Can’t be. They’re not that stupid.

Is it open(file:///PowerShell.exe?atbitaryCodeHere)? Who would allow this?

Or open(teams://magic/doThing)?

This sounds like trying to blame notepad (and by proxy all app developers) for a design flaw in the ecosystem

I didn’t know this, but Oracle is shity in so many ways.

Resistent to rust.

Debian is fine distro and many people rely on it as strong foundation including the people that build ubuntu and mint. Maybe Debian is the hidden champion.

When Ubuntu became popular, it had some advantages like reliable release cycles, slightly newer packages, better integration of proprietary drivers. Stuff that was not wanted in Debian stable main at the time.

Other non-debian-based distros also brought some advantages.

Personally, I’d love to see Debian as the base distro with Mint, Ubuntu and others building ontop of it. I like my apt update. I just won’t send novices straight to Debian when the derivates have more desktop users.

Reboot?

How to install Linux software using GUI?

On your GUI Desktop Environment, you use your GUI Application Launcher to start the GUI Terminal emulator. Then you simply type “apt install foo”. Easy.

See, the GUI is not harder then the normal way.

It’s also frustrating that society allows infinite resources for AI illustrations with six fingers, but restricts scientific research.

Well, if you prentend iterm does not exist, you can probably still use a mac to browse the web.

5 years in the EU

If this means the device is usuable and reasonably secure for 5 years, this is fine.

Other than avoiding ecosystem fragmentation, I’m not seeing tangible benefits of running the latest android.

You mean Word, Excel, and so on…

She lives in Austria. So, she is an Austrian Swiss Brown cow.

Fairphone?

Just get a list or phones with replacable batteries. It’s a short list and you sort by price if more than one fits your need.

Your logic is sound, but Bending Spoon is not know to care about value. If Vimeo owns any infrastructure, they’ll sell at it at ebay.

I’m sorry, I did not intend to insult the cow.

You don’t have to switch if you like what you found. Some people distro hop, some stay on the same one their whole life.

Too answer your question: Keeping your data is not hard and you should have a backup. Keeping your configuration/customization is a different story; if you don’t like the defaults, the tweaking is practically lost when you swap distros or DEs.

Too address the elefant in the room: Those beginner-friendly distros (e.g. Mint, Ubuntu, …) that you “start with” are actual full-fledged Linux distros under the hood. They usually try to create a UI that’s easier to navigate for someone switching from Windows (rarely from mac) and have a friendly community. They are opionated on some design choices but otherwise 99% identical to the underlying generic purpose distro.

Ubuntu is based on Debian. Mint is based on Ubuntu. Most Everything build for Debian will also work on Ubuntu or Mint. If you like Mint and it works on your hardware, there’s no objective need to switch to Debian (or Arch or Gentoo) ever. People switch as a learning exercise or for bragging rights.

The main purpose of trying different distro is to find your style. Experts could probably configure Debian to look and behave just like Mint, but it’s easier and more consistent if you get it all of the box.

Most cows do not reach her age and they are rarely given the opportunity to interact with a variety of potentially useful objects.

That’s her performance with a simple stick. Someone give that cow a typewriter. Soon we’ll have the complete works of Shakespeare or a presidential speech.

I could live on 50% my salary now – after building my retirement funds. I’m probably a lot older than you are. I’m not married. In Germany if this matters.

Progressive taxation and health insurance costs help a lot. You’ll earn half the brutto, but the interesting question is the netto. You can run your numbers here: https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/teilzeit.php (in German)

1400 net can be a perfectly liveable depending on location / housing cost, but you need to think about retirement savings!

That’s why she brought her baby. No one is going to kidnap someone with a baby. To much hassle.
