Conky widgets allow you to put some dynamic info on your desktop like hardware info, weather, RSS, etc. Also, Dash to Dock gives you a macOS like dock. Oh, and Gnome Tweaks allows you to customise your own Windows-like taskbar on the bottom, with application names and desktops.

Only problem I’ve experienced is that the fingerprint reader didn’t work on some laptops while it did on others. YMVM, just try a Live USB, I’d say.

In my opinion they’re not worth it, and you can uninstall anything you don’t like, anyway.
- Rooting in Android means you’re always logged in as root (admin), often without password. This is unsafe. In Linux tasks can get rooted individually. This is safe (just don’t give a bad task like a virus root-access) In a DE, like Gnome, some pop-up window will ask for your password if a task needs root. In a terminal, just add
sudo
in front of a command that needs root, and enter your password if the terminal asks.

Yes, you can uninstall any pre-installed app, just right-click it on the menu, Gnome will ask for your password so it can root that one uninstall task! Or type
sudo apt remove
followed by that app’s internal name, likesudo apt remove firefox
! -
Not at all, it’s the opposite! Since updates concern the whole system, system updates always require to run as root underwater!
-
This depends on your login screen, but assuming Debian or Ubuntu: Install the other DE, usually you just need to
sudo apt install
some things. Then on the login screen, there’s a button with an icon on the top-right of where you enter your password, just click that and choose the other DE. You can now switch DE anytime you log in!
I was going to comment that torrent client, torrent search and VPN aren’t necessarily used for piracy, and then I saw the search query.
Realistically though, these three publishers must’ve added “netflix” as keyword, and Flathub must’ve not noticed/cared. Still funny as fuck, though.
Does anyone have a TL;DW? Cause I just smashed the transcript into DuckDuckGo AI Chat on GPT-4o and asked it to summarise it and it came up with this
In the video, the speaker discusses a legal case involving Disney and a patron who died after being served food that did not accommodate their allergies, despite assurances from Disney and the restaurant. The key point is that the patron’s ability to sue Disney was hindered by a forced arbitration clause in the Disney+ agreement, which the speaker argues effectively protects Disney from liability. The speaker emphasizes the irony that if the patron had pirated Disney content instead of paying for it, they might have had a better chance of seeking justice in court. This situation is used to highlight broader frustrations with corporate practices, such as restrictive digital rights management (DRM) and the way companies redefine terms like “purchase” to limit consumer rights. The speaker expresses anger at the notion that paying customers are often treated worse than those who pirate content, arguing that this creates a system that punishes people for doing the right thing. They call for a reevaluation of how companies treat their customers, advocating for fairer practices that do not penalize those who choose to pay for content. The video concludes with a strong critique of corporate policies that prioritize profit over consumer rights and satisfaction.
Which isn’t helping enough
Pretty sure text editors allow a lot of power, in the upper half in any case
