Apple has had great trackpads for years and years.

Yet somehow every other laptop has at best something just kind of decent. You’d think they could catch up by now…

Aur can be a bit… Wonky in my experience, sometimes stuff just fails to install or work after.

Windows sandbox is easy.

No, but you can use Ironfox or another Android Firefox fork and have working sync.

A gaming focused distro will do everything else well too, so thats probably why.

If Linux is going to be usable by the average person on windows it needs to do something better than booting to a CLI and making the user figure out how to manually downgrade a package.

Surely there’s a way to keep the older driver on Linux, its absurdly easy on Windows.

It makes me wonder why the package still auto updates if it detects you’re using the driver that would be removed, surely it could do some checks first?

Would be vastly preferable to it just breaking the system.

Windows doesn’t force update your driver and remove support though, and even if it did it won’t drop you to some CLI, it will still work.

As I remember no one could tell a different in some testing done vs FLAC and 320kbps Vorbis, so I think its plenty for an archive.

Spotify uses I think 192 or 320kbps Vorbis which is quite good and still has small sizes.

Gotcha, that does make it significantly more difficult to block outgoing connections from some new executable, as most are likely to use port 443 like everything else does.

I’ll have to research some more, I have Fedora on my laptop and it would be nice to have a comparable firewall.

Does the firewall on Linux work like Windows where you allow/block by process or executable name? Because that will stop malware or apps connecting to places you don’t like.

Zen is what I use, there’s also Waterfox.

Yeah stuff like that, but also the locally synced copy I would not trust no matter what as really any sync software can suddenly delete or corrupt files. Best to have at least 2 actual backups in place that are versioned and done daily or every few hours.

Yeah but its a pita sometimes with controls and stuff.

Absolutely, then people go and delete the other copies leaving just the cloud, and think that it’s somehow fine.

Probably worth storing the key in another place as well, like keepass on your phone or just print it out on paper and store it.

Not much you can do, if it’s on the internet it is public.

You can block some scrapers with PoW and that sort of thing, but you’ll never block all of them.

Well that was horrifying, a bit much.
