Wayland is now default, you have to add a few x11 packages to have an x11 login now. Also SE Linux Enforcing by default.

If you arena opposed to GNOME, you add your online accounts and it integrates them into evolution mail, calendar and contacts. And also Gdrive becomes a mounted folder if you add Google account.
I haven’t checked lately but on GNOME you add Google account to your Online accounts and gmail is automatically added to your email client (Evolution in some diatros).
I saw it as pandering to trump, so his administration doesn’t make proton illegal in USA
I don’t think it would be lighter, SVGs need a rendering tool to read the code and draw the artwork for the vector based images. This has always been slower than just displaying a bmp, jpg, or PNG.
There are both, PNG as standard sizes and the SVGs. I believe the DE pulls the 32 48 256 pixel pngs so no addition rendering is needed.
Windows only wipes Linux grub if the grub boot efi stuff gets installed into the windows disk EFI partition. Its best to specify a new EFI partition on the new disk so grub is isolated from windows. The distro OS probe should pickup an alternate OS on other disk and add a chainloader entry to Linux grub. Windows never knows there is another EFI partition if you do it this way.
OpenSUSE has GUI software updates via GNOME package updater or KDE discovery center, but also has GUI Yast software manager independent of DE
For somebody that can install software from a store fedora or Zorin or Mint would be solid suggestions.
For your dad you could try OpenSUSE, it has nvidia hosted repos for Nvidia with the GUI package updater, but I think bazzite has an nVidia spin doesn’t it?
No, she is very bad with tech. I have added everything she needs for her web, email, spreadsheet, zoom call use. NixOS is super easy for an average person who can edit a text file though. You go to this site https://search.nixos.org/packages , search what you want, it gives you the code to paste into your config, and run a rebuild…or options for a temp install. Seems painless.
Only tech savvy for installing an OS, other than that Linux is a better experience for less tech savvy users. My wife struggled with Windows and how things don’t make sense (it was also slow) so I setup nixOS with GNOME, no more complaints
The issue is exploits exist in every hardware and software, just takes a person looking for vulners
Well if Is seagate reacts by locking down firmware, and deleting the resellers that knew they were getting non factory shipped equipment then this is fine. Part of the issue is the scale was so large some resellers didn’t know, because they purchase from another larger stock company and rightly assume everything is factory original when ordering.
Not sure, someone went to great lengths to pull off a large scam. A smaller scale one was an amazon purchased Xbox drive that did the bait and switch. They put a newer controller board on an ancient drive, wiped SMART in some way, and put it into the Xbox drive caddy with a Void if remove sticker across the seam. Curious at some point, I opened the caddy, to find what I thought was a new drive, was on old board but with an ancient drive covered in dirt and oil all over it. Like they didn’t bother to wipe the grime off since it was covered in the plastic caddy. Scammers going to scam.
It wasn’t them as a company right? it was a few resellers that decided to buy a shady lot of drives for resale. As in not buy from Sagate, but buy from somebody saying hey I got a ton of drives for cheap you can unload
This tool is amazing https://github.com/KSXGitHub/parallel-disk-usage
I love rhythym box, but had an issue getting it to show grillo dlna media shares, had to add dleyna packages and dleyna-grillo then everything was discoverable
NVidia has worked great for me, even RTX shading looked good.
