ZorinOS for closest match to Windows, for my gf who did not care for the OS as long as it didn’t change much of her day to day habits. I now use it myself, and despite a few minor issues and people pointing out that it’s quite out of date software, i’m very happy with it, even for audio/visual/gaming stuff that could be tricky.
Isnt Pop_OS in the Debian family since its based on Ubuntu?
Me and my gf main distro. Globally works out of the box and can be made very close to Windows layout so it eases the transition a lot, especially for non-tech people. I had some problems when trying to tweak some things, and learned that as it follows Ubuntu updates, it is pretty outdated software, so it can lead to issues for specific usages. But as it is Linux, you can still console your way out of it.
Lmms seems to still have activity on its github, though you’re right that there were no proper release since 2020-2021. Most options i know of have been presented by others, i’ll just put another reference to yabridge, as it could be useful to get some of your vst up and running.
Yes
Most defectors go through China == it is easier to cross the border / defect in China != it is easy to cross the border to China / defect in China
From what i know , it is not easy at all to neither go to China, neither “defect” there, neither defect from authoritarian communist countries nearby. What you ‘showed’ me is people working in China, so controlled travel.
Based on what i know, i take your affirmation that it is easy to defect frop China either as ignorance, either as propaganda. If you have good info on the traveling part, please share so i and others can learn. On the original matter, i think it’s not worth debating further if we do not share a same-ish perception of facts.
Because they could have airlines if they accepted foreigns workers. That part os the NK government decision, good or bad. Let be clear : economic isolation of NK is a ofc product of both NK politics and UN embargos. But freedom of travel is not directly affected by UN. The first thing that stops NK people to travel is a border with armed guards, including with friendly states.
So they are barred from travel via plane because of NK decisions on airlines, and not banned from travel via other means (if we forget about frontier guards and all, ofc).
It’s not about forbidding NK people to leave the country, it’s about working.
Came to say this : Zorin was perfect for me, especially for its elegant resemblance to Windows.
My guess (i dont understand it all that well) is that people are less again using systemd, than against a growing dependency on systemd. If something bad happens to it, it could drag down other big elements of the linux ecosystem with itself.
For furniture/house design, there is Sweet Home 3D. Otherwise, Blender can work for most of your desired features. Though both have 3D features that would be overkill, but they’re not that intensive for basic tasks as you ask.
Tbf, they look so close to each other, i’d went for Mario and Luigi. Wario is quite different from Mario.
I’ve heard that SSD have a relatively limited number of write cycles, and that wiping/compacting data can even be a slightly bad thing in this regard. I am not sure at all if this is true though, don’t take my word for it and correct me if i’m wrong.
Doesn’t have AppImages the same problem than Flatpak regarding dependencies duplicated for each program ? If so, what is their advantage over Flatpak ?
That’s a very bad and weird choice of words. Other than that, banning rape-games is not a bad idea, especially from mainstream platforms, though i guess it’s not the biggest problem for women’s rights right now.
Oh yeah, the famous “if you fight evil, you cannot be evil”
The wikipedia page :
Lim disappeared from South Korea in 2017. According to the police, her home was left virtually untouched.
In June 2017, Lim reappeared in an interview on North Korean TV. During the interview, she claimed that life in South Korea is “hell on earth,” and said that she regretted her decision to defect, and later begged Kim Jong Un for forgiveness. She claimed to be living with her parents in the North Korean city of Anju. It was also her last known appearance.
This sure looks like a definitive win for NK here, absolutely no reason to consider this might be a staging. Also 8 years old news really feels like a sign that this is a widespread movement.
Well beyond the meme or the tankie attempt at propaganda or anything, those are not at all exclusive. What Bob says has nothing to do with showing Patrick was wrong. Or am i missing the point here?
