Short answer: Yes
Will you notice it: No
Edit: after watching, did not expect that strategy to be that effective.
Probably comes from not living in high latitudes.

Bitwarden got a nice polish update about 2 months ago, its a lot better now.


Thx for the tip. I just got a 5x FPS boost in a very poorly optimized sim game “war at sea” thing was chugging along at 5-6 fps when lots of ships were on the screen. Was maxing out all 32 threads on my 5950x. Now it’s running a cool 20% utilization.


Thx for the tip, will give it a try.
I got it from the protonup app that is pre installed.


It uses an atomic update system on an immutable base. They don’t refer to the same thing, but you sort of need the one when you use the other for it to make sense.
To be fair, i think if you asked Cthulu nicely, he would end the world and drive your enemies to madness for you.


Linux Mint is the windows 7 experience of linux. It gets out of the way so you can work. It also has the best in-OS help tools. It’s also a bit more conservative in terms of newest features, so it’s a lot more reliable.
If she does PC gaming, you might want to look at Bazzite rather than Mint. It’s a lot better equipped for non-technical people to start gaming. It’s basically a preconfigured Fedora linux, so it’s got a solid foundation. It’s also something called an immutable distro, which basically means it’s more difficult to break as the core OS is “read only” (to simplify).
In terms of migrating, best to avoid dual booting off a single disk. Microsoft keeps breaking Linux installs (probably on purpose). So best to install a second SSD.
Before you migrate, have her make a list of software she uses and the hardware she has. Best to post that on a forum like this to have more experienced people look for possible issues.
When it gets to migration day, if bitlocker is disabled, you can access your windows data from linux.
Also get her on Lemmy and asking questions directly. The best thing you can teach a low tech person is how to get help.


So Google Chrome causes autism?
He might not have caused it, but he sure is claiming to have.
The server software world is debian based. Fortunately/unfortunately.
Horses for courses, desktop and server OS’s should have different priorities and approaches.
Its because of how it disrespects the user. it keeps nagging you to update, then forces it at an inconvenient time and because the updates take so long in comparison.
Linux: hope nothing breaks.
Windows: hope nothing breaks.
Mac: hope nothing breaks.
Imagine getting out of the excavator to go to the loo and getting hit in the head by a brick.


Yep, Bazzite has been great for me on my gaming PC. Never going back.


You can plug your system into a free platform like opensolar, which allows you to play with the design to see what the effect of upgrades would be during the course of the year.


Sorry I can’t hear you Randy. I am playing silksong and after that, I am doing another BG3 playthrough.
They have better idle efficiency, but if your PC is not on and idle 24/7 for some reason, AMD is more efficient.
My parents taught me it’s fine to take chances and make mistakes, but when you do, own them out in the open.
