Let me just verify something. Did you try to just click on the link, I mean left click, so that you are taken to the document in your browser. Then, when you see the text file in your browser, right click anywhere on the page, and then you can "Save Page As" In any case, verifying the...

Great that you managed to get the upgrades at a decent price. And I agree, most upgrades on Linux is easy. Most required stuff is loaded by the kernel on boot, so you really don't need to worry. As far as I know, you only need to uninstall/install driver if you switch GPU between AMD and Nvidia...

I think you only saved it as a link, so you didn't get the actual text document and the gpg file. In Firefox it works for me, I can right click on the link to sha256sum.txt and select "Save link as" Or you can simply click on the link itself to open it in the browser, then right click on the...

There are two different ways to do it. I always prefer to do it via terminal, but in Linux Mint you can do it quite easily without needing to use the terminal. First of all you would need to download the version you want to install. The Linux Mint download page lists the three different...

I completely agree, you can download the iso for free and write it to any USB stick you have. The iso size for 20.1 is just under 2 GB, so most USB sticks should be big enough. Even if you have an old one. EDIT: Not to mention, downloading it is the official way to do it. I would be more...

I have no idea why I was getting bad performance, the Surface Pro is actually quite good for such a small computer. It might just have been some issue with the Surface's unusual hardware. But I've had no problems running Debian on the Surface, which is what I'll be reinstalling on it. It worked...

So I decided to go ahead and test it on real hardware instead of just using Virtualbox. Installed it on my Surface Pro 4, and was in all honesty a bit disappointed. It seems to aim for being an "easy" distro, but from what I could tell it does not do that job well. What I found annoying was that...

I am perfectly content with my setup in Arch, but sometimes I see a distro that catches my eye. This is another Arch spinoff distro, also aimed at new and inexperienced Linux users, while also focusing heavily on performance. https://garudalinux.org/index.html It comes in multiple flavors...

The Synergy mod is awesome, I've played it with a cousin and it's great fun to experience this game with others.

It should™ not be a problem to install VLC. It is in the official repositories and should be as simple as opening up the software manager and finding VLC and install it. Or just run the command "sudo apt-get install vlc". Then again, there's always the chance of running into some edge case...

That is always a risk, but qutebrowser seems to have a small but dedicated following and team, so I am not worried. And the adblocker is just a python implementation of an existing adblocker.

With my Arch mentality regarding updates (must... always... update...) I tend to ensure my wife's Mint system is always updated, especially with new Mint versions. The upgrade from 20 to 20.1 went by without any issues at all. Then again, her current computer had a fresh install of Mint 20, the...

It's been a while so I figured a little update on this situation might be appropriate. I have not experienced any issues for a very very long time. I can't remember the last time I had this crash happen, so I can only assume that driver/firmware updates have managed to either eliminate the...

The adblocking is is actually a python library, python-adblock, which is a python implementation of Brave's adblocking. The adblocking library is not directly related to qutebrowser, although the developer of the library is also a contributor to qutebrowser.

Not sure if anyone else were interested in this browser, but it has support for a proper adblocker now. Previously it only used a host-based blocker. I'm still getting youtube ads, but since I got so used to opening youtube videos in mpv (with no ads), I don't really mind.

FAT32 does not support POSIX file ownership and permissions, which is one primary issue you might face. Additionally, FAT32 is a really old filesystem that basically has zero error recovery features, making it a poor choice for storing any kind of data that you can't easily recover through other...

Great to hear that passwords are handled by JavaScript before being sent over the net. Personally I have no issues with regular old HTTP being available as long as there are no plaintext passwords being sent.

I have noticed that this website does not automatically redirect to the https version of the website. I don't know if this is by design, leaving it up to the users if they wish to visit the website over plaintext or not, but it is common practice to automatically redirect to https as long as it...

I thought most sites these days that use interactive applications just write them in JavaScript. And video streaming does not require Flash either. I am honestly quite curious because I do as of right now only know of one web site, which is REALLY old, that requires Flash. And that is...

This browser can do most anything, since the actual backend engine is the chromium engine. Flash is also fully supported, but you would need to specifically enable plugins before you can use it. Personally I don't have flash installed, are there even websites that still use it? Besides, flash is...
