    After Europe ditched Windows, China follows suit with its own home-grown Linux distros

    Plasma has functionality for an RDP server built in. I've never used it because administering machine's remotely using SSH and terminal is more efficient, but I see no reason to doubt it's functionality under Wayland:

    Bearing in mind this is deliberate, big tech knows to hook them while they're young as muscle memory is hard to relearn as you become older. Hence the reason why MS Office and the Adobe Suite is usually free to primary > high school students.

    XLibre Linux Distro?

    Er...That video's long enough for me to skip through it, so I could have missed something, but I saw him set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 and scaling was at 100% - so there was no scaling. If I missed something it would be great if you could link a time stamped video.

    XLibre Linux Distro?

    In relation to font DPI scaling, as far as I'm aware X11 (and by extension XLibre) doesn't actually have the explicit functionality for scaling, it simply uses a larger font size. Wayland actually scales the image just like any other 'modern' OS. However, if you just want to increase or...

    Linux -> Windows 11 & Linux Mint 22.3, dual boot (Dell Optiplex 3070)

    Windows will stuff it's bootloader anywhere it likes assuming the drive is connected when Windows is initially installed.

    Linux -> Windows 11 & Linux Mint 22.3, dual boot (Dell Optiplex 3070)

    Pull Windows drive > Insert drive intended for Linux > partition as recommended and install. Once done, reinstall Windows drive and use your UEFI boot manager to select either the Windows or the Linux drive depending on the OS you intend to use.

    Linux -> Windows 11 & Linux Mint 22.3, dual boot (Dell Optiplex 3070)

    You use your UEFI boot menu to select each separate drive depending on the OS you want to boot, this keeps Windows away from the Linux bootloader (although Windows is known to stuff it's bootloader on whatever drive it feels like using, whether that drive is mounted under Windows or not). It's a...

    Linux -> Windows 11 & Linux Mint 22.3, dual boot (Dell Optiplex 3070)

    As a general rule of thumb, if you want to dual boot Windows/Linux off the same drive, install Windows first followed by Linux. The best option is to use two SSD's/HDD's, have one with Linux and the other with Windows using their own bootloader's, and select either drive on POST using your UEFI...

    Anybody try XLibre instead of Wayland yet?

    Wayland does everything I need and supports VRR, I've got no interest in reviving X11.

    Review the game you finished recently.

    I just finished Death Stranding, it's literally taken me years. What an epic game, the plot twists, the emotional trek in the end. I struggled to get into it at first, but I'm so glad I finally made the decision to sit there and work out the mechanics of the game - One of my fav's of all time...

    Legacy Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB returns to retail five years after original launch, priced at $339

    I run an RTX 4070S with 12GB of vram, and at 2560x1440 with settings maxed out in many games and RT as well as PB RT enabled in those that support it, along with a touch of DLSS and FG at times (not all the time) - I never even get close to running out of vram.

    Legacy Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB returns to retail five years after original launch, priced at $339

    This is something I actually monitor from time to time, and I've never come close to saturating the pcie bus playing games, even running 4k textures. Agreed.
