Oh yeah if AV1 is so great how come there isnt an AV tw…oh wait…

Absolutely!

I’m signing up with us mobile. They support all 3 major carriers.

Its not even a matter of the esim not registering. The menu itself isn’t correct on the Moto. When I hit add esim, before I even try to input anything, its immediately an error screen that says call T Mobile.

I found a very old XDA post that said if I ever unlocked the bootloader on this model phone at any point before the phone was paid off (I did at some point for some reason) it blows a fuse on the phone itself that permanently disables esim functionality. I haven’t been able to verify that anywhere else and also seems illegal.

Unfortunately no. I’m no longer a T-Mobile customer. I unlocked my phone after the contract and immediately moved to Verizon with a physical Sim.

Now trying to move to a subcarrier and trying to use an e-sim but it isn’t working.

That’s the plan so far. In the meantime, I’m back on the trusty old pixel 4a

Ok have it your way. No more copyright strikes on YouTube then. And you should open source all the code that Google has written across the board.

We cant let copyright get in the way of innovation.

If anyone wants to know, the reason that happens is because spiders move their legs with a hydraulic system and once they are dead the pressure gets released and they revert to their “default” state.

If you like fedora as a base, you can install the Gnome version of fedora and install the Pop Shell. It has autotiling that you can turn on and off while you get used to it if you want. Its what I run on Nobara and it works perfectly fine for me.

I’ve actually been using it for years but I’ve never messed with the launch gestures before. That’s a super useful feature.

KISS launcher is exactly what I was looking for in a launcher. 5 always used apps at the bottom calendar and weather widgets on the home screen, search for everything else. It seems like it used to have a lot of problems with custom icons but lately it’s been pretty much perfect.

Maybe not that much more complicated, but it does give a less experienced user a lot more opportunities to make a mistake that could result in data loss or just a computer that suddenly decides not to boot Linux anymore since a Windows update broke grub.

The most important thing to do is backup your data to an external drive. Unless you are planning on dual booting (much more complicated) you will be wiping out the entire drive that has windows on it when you install Linux.

This guide goes through the whole installation process.

I’m just gonna leave this here.

I haven’t done any work for the military but i can say that all the legacy systems I’ve worked on were because the specific software they need was written only for Windows 98 and the developer or company that created it is long gone. Keeping it going is a chore but switching to literally anything else is out of the question.

I could see for military applications that having the known quantity of a working piece of software that isn’t changing anymore and can be swapped as an entire unit is an advantage, especially if it doesn’t touch the internet in any capacity. But eventually you run out of people who know what to do if any changes need to be made.

There are several things like that in Fedora, which is already a good reason not to recommend it to first timers. They most likely won’t know or care about nonfree codecs, they will just see a broken machine. Linux Mint understands that as a use case and has a “magic make it work” checkbox during install.

That all being said, I run Nobara and love it, but i wouldn’t recommend it for new people.

This is the concept of an episode of Nathan For You. Well, its a part of an episode about making real a fake story so he doesn’t get “A Million Little Pieces”-ed. Its a great show.

They would most likely still have to disable secure boot.

That would lower the barrier to entry significantly. It doesn’t address the issues with the bios but someone mildly adventurous would have a much easier time going forward.

I think something like that would have to be sponsored by and maintained by a big distro though. I’m afraid if it was a community effort the amount of bikeshedding would stop it before it even began.

Linux pre installed is the only way for most people to use it I’m afraid.

Fedora does btrfs snapshots on boot also, which is such a great feature that I’m surprised Microsoft hasn’t copied it for Windows.
