Can You Use Linux Without the Terminal? (How to Geek article)

  • Intelligence chief warns Canadians that China can use TikTok to spy on them
  • Our governments barely understand tech and the average user would not know what arbitrary code execution is. If I said to my wife you should remove tiktok because of ACE she would stare blankly and say but I like the funny people. if I said you should remove tiktok because of spying, then she would think about what they might spy on and have some concern

  • 16 year olds should legally be allowed to vote in my opinion
  • Sounds like you are stuck in your ways , incapable or unwilling to change. LOL. If you actually talked to old people, not just what you see about boomers amd corporate distopia you will find many are very open minded.

    As an anecdote, my mum is old and grew up in an era of racism and gay being illegal. she is now in public or on facebook having daily fights calling people out on the racism, and spreading acceptance for the lgbtq2s+ community.

  • Linux mint or zorin OS for layman beginners who just want everything to work and focuses on stability , privacy , security ? Also what to do if I switched to mint and WiFi stopped working ?
  • Live boot can be different than installed behaviour. i have had this problem on one laptop. Live USB was fine, install would complete but error out on boot with any debian based distro.
