Did someone actually find a backdoor in Recall, or is this just the usual "M$ is evil" posting?

(Either way, fuck ~~Recall~~ Security Exploit Centrap)

All distros are equivalent, as far as software is concerned. They all have access to the same open source software, and Flatpak; AppImage; and Snap can be used for extra portability.

Think of a distro like a pre-configured image of linux. You can always change the configuration later, if you desire. For example, the Desktop Environment. All you have to do is just install a different DE package (usually via command line)

The DE has a major impact on user experience. Use KDE plasma for a more windows-familiar experience, or Gnome for a more Mac-familiar experience. Or experiment with others

The Linux Experiment is a good resource

Use a towel

Just make sure it's not damp, or the resulting steam will burn you

I've done this by accident a few times while reading a really good book

The following day sucks big time, especially if you have to go to work

You might be able to clear (or at least relieve) some of the pressure by doing a Eustachian Tube Massage

Apply pressure to the area below the ear and just behind the jaw bone, then follow the jawline down to the neck (I'm not sure if you go under the jaw or straight down the neck. I do both)

Obviously, if this causes pain, don't continue

It might be your phone getting a notification, and sending that to the BT speaker, which then takes precedent over the laptop

I usually just disable BT on my phone when stuff like that happens (on android, you can change the playback device without disconnecting, and that should also prevent the phone from stealing your headphones)
