I don’t know how it would reduce the temperature but I do know that it will reduce. Normally, with a heat dissipator you should expect to be under 70°C but that also kinda depends on airflow.

Ah… You dould try an external HDD but that wouldn’t solve everything so… Maybe try the heat dissipator, rather than going to a software that might well accelerate hardware deterioration.

Can’t you put a heat dissipator on your SSD ?

And I know you said you don’t want to buy any new hardware but if you want to throttle your SSD you Might as well buy an HDD. It’s not that expensive.

The learning curve is steep and the terminal reliance is too much for people who are not used to it. Once you get used to the terminal then… yes

It’s not like they cost 35€ anymore… But I know you know but damn ! They had to make it so expensive…

Salting the water is relevant when not using a pressure cooker. It makes no sense when you’re steaming them in a pressure cooker. AI is a good tool, sometimes. But for everyday tasks, it is irrelevant and often wrong.

They particularly don’t get cold so basically, they’re useless

I am !

You did care, or else you wouldn’t be having this meltdown.

Nah, I really think Android is becoming worse. In six months we won’t be able to install unoficial apps. It won’t be long until this happens too

If you play on a machine that is not connected to internet, then by all means there is no reason to switch. But of you are connected to the internet, then those system pose security risks and you would be better off having an up to date system. If Win 10 wasn’t EOL then maybe the advice to upgrade to Win10 would be solid.

If you want to break out of this and find something new without too much of a learning curve you could try Illogical Impulse

It’s hyprland, modded and more avvessible.

That’s because Kate is an IDE, not a note taking app. KWrite is the text editor

To run games, you might need at least 32Gb. 64 Gb is sufficient in most cases. Still expensive af

Zorin is the best distro when you come from Windows. It works almost similarly so it’s easy to grasp for those who don’t want to tinker / learn a new DE.

To me it’s Zorin. It’s the easiest to use when you come from Windows

No it just works as long as you install the drivers…

To have the most secure machine possible, you might need a hardened kernel but you absolutely need to have SELinux (or equivalent) rules set up.

The easiest way to have a go at this would be to install OpenSuSE (any version will do, they all ship with SELinux ootb) and follow guides on how to setup SELinux permissions.

More than the camera : 24hrs of battery life tops is what you should expect.

While it’s nice, let’s not forget that it’s exactly the kind of thing that right wingers are doing with mainstream media and how much it hurts to only have one view of the world.

He said he’s not a tech wizard. Arch, even with archinstall, asks you to be at least an apprentice tech wizard.
