Re: Traumatized By MS Windows 11 - I need a hug :)
Current windows versions auto-installing onedrive is a known phenomenon, as is MS using deceptive design (aka "dark patterns") to get users to enable sync. These days you can't just casually use windows... unless you spend the time to thouroughly disarm it, windows uses you. It does auto ...

What do you mean speak for yourself? I've stated a fact lmao.
Do you know many people who aren't using YT? Unless your friends are 70 or living in a cave, but even then they still probably use it.
Youtube has 2 billion people logged in every month.

Re: Lenovo = a piece of crap?
I have a Lenovo T480 which I've bought only to use with my telescope.
It's utter crap compared to any Macbook though.
The only good thing is it's super easy to upgrade RAM and SSD.
But the keyboard and trackpad is

Re: [Off-Topic]
not using JS is impossible in 2024 unless you're disconnected from the world. Which is why I said "selectively", something you seem to have conveniently ignored. Beyond that, you appear to be intentionally conflating "I really like that every major function of the forum is possible w...

Re: [O/S] New guy trying to learn :)
Also, if you think Debian is not the answer, I am willing to learn and hear feedback on recommendations. At the core of it all, its Linux! I would say you should try Fedora instead. I've tried many distros, and while Debian is nice it isn't the best desktop experience, the software is outdated and ...

Re: [Networking] Trying to setup a Pi Hole unit with VPN
Show me how you and thousands of users block Youtube ads for instance with your pihole.Thousands of users (as well as an applied elementary understanding of how the internet works) would disagree with you.
Did you have anything constructive to add?

Re: [Networking] Trying to setup a Pi Hole unit with VPN
I wonder what’s the point of Pi Hole nowadays?
I mean is it different from using Adguard’s DNS?
Also you can’t block most ads by DNS nowadays anyways.

Re: [Off-Topic]
I think it's times for upgrade it. Please, no. It's fine without all the bloat and without buttons and dialogues that take up huge screen real estate. I really like that every major function of the forum is possible without running any kind of javascript. Are you actually using internet without JS?...

There is a .deb download package.
I was just wondering if the laptop requires some additional configuring/drivers done.
