still is, and always has been. and that's not a bad thing.

Fedora is often considered “the new Ubuntu” […]
no. it's not. and i've never, ever heard anyone say it is--until now.
imho getting windows-based games running on linux isn't for someone 'new' to linux. they gotta get their feet wet first, and mint is an excellent choice for that... or they will be spending all their gaming time--not gaming.
here in the boonies, every cellular carrier, every internet provider, every--everything... goes out with single fiber cut. even cable tv goes dark since they took out local headend here (connected now via fiber to a town an hour away).
except for POTS, and the voice and data carried on it. when the whole town gets cut-off from the outside world for a whole day or more, which has happened four times in the last four years. the good ol' shitty telco is still going; their cables are separate, and go entirely different directions out of town.
that's why we still have a landline at the office; having a line-powered phone for when the power goes out (also not uncommon) is just a bonus.
it's nypost, did you expect accuracy?
company that profits from porn piracy sues for piracy of porn.
'unwelcome'. of course. but this is no surprise. they jacked-up rates for new subs nearly a year ago, while leaving existing ones alone. that reprieve is now over.
it had to be politically motivated. even elon must be smart enough to know that kicking the kid off twitter wouldn't stop the tracking of his plane.. which is still readily available via multiple sources. he could have been dumb enough to spend $billions just to steal the @x handle though.
flash vs ssd is night and day difference for write speeds. if you write that frequently to your ventoy and write speed matters to you, you want ssd.
either make it (assemble) yourself or buy one. i have a number of clients using samsung t7 external usb ssd. they seem pretty fast to me.
i don't use ventoy or ventoy-like devices that often, i just use flash.. even some usb 2.0 ones. yea, they take longer to boot up and longer (much longer) to write to, but i don't add or replace iso on them very often.
my co-worker wants an ota dvr. what one do you have? and is it easy to use for someone that can barely navigate a tv menu? ease of use and minimal internet bandwidth use (they use a 'jetpack' with crappy signal for internet at home) are their main requirements.
anything 4:3 seems 'old' these days.
when i wanted bandwidth available 'elsewhere' (such as streaming or games on a different pc) but wanted to continue long transfers, used to neuter the lan adapter configuration on the system doing the transfers by setting it to 10baseT, full or half duplex for 10 or 5mbit max. that was back when my isp connection topped out at < 15mbit. i didn't always use a program or an addon that had rate limiting, and that was my 'solution'.
