Definitely doesn't help that some people in black community (not black people in general) are entitled piece of shit who think their (ancestors') suffering is a free pass to treat everybody else like shit. Some of them are straight up black supremacists hiding behind the flag of race equality.
I know free vpns usually are not good, but right now I am not in a position to pay for a vpn. I found Privado VPN and it doesn't keep logs and is based in Switzerland. It has a data limit for free users, but do you think its safe for torrenting?
On Tuesday at Google I/O 2024, Google announced Veo, a new AI video-synthesis model that can create HD videos from text, image, or video prompts, similar to OpenAI's Sora. It can generate 1080p videos lasting over a minute and edit videos from written instructions, but it has not yet been released for broad use.
Hey, so I just put this part up first because this is the one I urgently and importantly need answered even tho I wrote that hideous text block first (sorry English isn't my first language )....
With all the time and effort in writing this ling post, you could've installed Linux. For Linux Mint (and probably Zorin OS), everything you see on the live boot (except the OS installer) should be there on the installed system as well.
If you encountered some issue that renders your system inoperable due to that Linux installation, you can simply use the live boot, which you said works well.

@linux Sharing a 'small' inconvenience I had to fix with #opensuse#slowroll (I suspect #tumbleweed is the same) - I couldn't launch snaps (spotify, bitwarden) after update - error was: cannot determine seccomp compiler version in generateSystemKey fork/exec /usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp: no such file or directory
The fix (I first tried re-installing, didn't work) was to:
a. locate snap-seccomp - was in /usr/libexec/snapd
b. symlink: ln -s /usr/libexec/snapd /usr/lib/snapd
I would take this with a grain of salt. For me, as long as the package is available and functional for my prefered installation method, I'd go with that.
Take cerbot for example. For some reason, the cerbot developers uses snap in their installation guide. I've been using apt on all my projects that requires https, both personal and professional (yes, I get paid to do this, among others). Never had any issue with it.
the attack surface for something that isn't officially maintained by the developers, and that doesn't have more vetting (e.g. distribution packages) opens up room for malicious actors.
Funny that Jia Tan was an official maintainer of xz until he was found to be problematic.
Speaking of verifying, you know you can't really verify anything on the snap server since they're proprietary, right? On the contrary everything on flathub is laid to bare for anyone to look at.
In the end, you're free to choose. Since you've kindly provided your argument, I've provided mine in hope you'd reconsider.
