People really sleep on ZorinOS I think it should be mentioned in the same conversation as Mint for new users coming from windows.
✨ Sublime estilo 🎼 Asegúrate de ver mi propuesta! ✊
I have an old HO laptop from 2015 that has an Intel GPU. It's an Atom GPU. Considering it's almost 10 years old, has 4 GB RAM (DDR3), it does fairly well. So far, it's had issues on Fedora, but Debian works probably the best. I use i3wm on it because I don't think Wayland pays well with it, being how old it is. X11 seems to work better. Pipewire is alright, though Pulse Audio needs to be used for volume control. Pipewire special effects work, but too many overloads the system. So yeah, the Intel Atom GPU works alright for a nearly 10 year old system, but nothing to be thrilled about. It's 64 bit, so at least it's not dependent on needing a 32-bit OS. But don't expect it to win any drag races on benchmarks,
Maybe it's just me but as a kid of the 80's I don't find that prices for hardware being all that crazy if you shop around. Sure it's not pre 2019 cheap, because of government consistently devaluing our currency, it's still much more cheaper than when computers had been far more proprietary in nature. We can still buy a lot of computing power for a lot less money compared. Still it's true it's not cheap but the bang per buck is still impressive when done with care.

Did anyone notice that the mint website, to access the checksum and gpg… the browsers launch it with Warning? Expired certificate and more? I noticed it on September 21, 2024.
Kool Desktop Environment has better scaling, fonts can be adjusted to fit everyone needs, Gnome cannot do this, even with fractional scaling enabled you cannot set to look bigger, this is by design, it is to small in ratio to desktop elements.Please always use page zoom or increase font size for YouTube videos
An article called "The issue of anti-cheat on Linux" by Samuel Tulach explains why, for many developers, Linux support may not be as simple as a toggle. I would link the article here, but it seems YouTube will delete my comment if I post a link.
In essence, and to heavily simplify, the Linux versions of Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye do not support all of the features of the Windows versions. In particular, anti-cheat programs on Linux appear to be rather limited when it comes to disallowing external programs from modifying a game's data in RAM, as there does not appear to be a good way to prevent this on Linux due to the ability to re-compile the kernel.
Now, one could argue that these methods are still excessive anyway or that there may be better ways to combat cheating without resorting to banning Linux players, but as it stands, developers of high-profile competitive games or games that rely on in-game purchases for revenue are very paranoid of cheaters ruining their games and so try to cover as many potential holes as possible. For these developers, hearing that a Linux version would not employ all of the possible methods to prevent cheating is enough to make them want to block it outright.
I'm happy you did your homework and did not report he anti-cheat thing as fact.
Really wish to MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth start to working, Wi-Fi 7 is working but not that perfect like in windows.
The wine kernel?
Wine has no kernel, it is not an emulator
AHS – Advanced Hardware Support
I'm currently watching this video on Fedora 41 beta.
Lol gnome 47 taking impression from Ubuntu custom gnome
Windows: WE HAVE AI!
Gnome: Accent Colors.
I love that my computer is boring again.
AHS = Advanced Hardware Support — which means easy access to latest kernels, as well as newer firmware, mesa, etc.
If you have newer hardware, you would really want to be running a MXLinux AHS release. MXLinux KDE edition is AHS by default
Gnome beautiful as always.
Hello:
Excellent news.
Zorin Os is the distribution I use both at work and at home, and I can even play my favorite game, Diablo II Resurrected without problems.
I like it for its stability, familiarity, speed, low resource consumption, ease of use, and its beauty.
Since I started my Gnu Linux journey, I have been finally opting for Zorin Os.
Now, I am a basic user who uses the operating system for simple actions, browsing, videos, word processing and calculation, playing games… And Zorin Os fully meets my expectations.
Greetings and success.
I am surprised no one is really covering the 16 billion offer from Microsoft for Steam.
Great video setup 👍
The biggest Linux kernel change in the news is the 6.12 kernel merging the RT patch set.
The development team made a good choice with those custom accent colors, it’s one of my favorite out-of-the-box features of Ubuntu and its derivative distributions.

Oh yea I read the RFC for NVIDIA / Secureboot some month ago and I am happy it finds it's way in F41.. I already switch back to Windows because of that and used WSL I still dual boot because of music production but now I may consider installing Fedora again on bare metal.
Looks so clean!
Are you saying if you haven't "updated" from Python 2? Have you updated from Python 1? 😜
The framerate seems better, did you switch to a higher framerate or use different OBS settings than you had been? Looks good.
I use Zorin OS and love it!
Shame G47 Accent colour option choices suck. Therme's are broken and anyone who uses Gnome already had way to change the accent colour, file icon are the same, but they can be change with icon packs. I tried F41 Beta as Fedora do the most plain Gnome but I sticking to G46 as long as I can but will work on G47 as back end has a lot of back end. Suck so much I thinking of going KDE lol As if I like you with GNOME as you are KDE.
funny when most exciting stuff for u is some software version going up :3
Because UnknownCheats has tons of methods to bypass BattlEye on Linux. It is way less secure than on Windows. Good on Rockstar for not compromising online integrity now that they finally have anticheat. Even if it means I have to dual boot. :/
