  • The work around it you set your networks to metered, it won’t install updates.

    Then in updates menu you hit pause updates then unpause updates, it will check for all app updates and show you a list with “download and install” button next to each. You choose the ones you want.

    With non metered networks, it will just force them all on you with no granularity






  • My take: I heard about it about 2 years ago, either on here or reddit. A user recommended it, so I tried it out.

    It’s good, has a clean aesthetic and a simple switcher to alter how GNOME actually looks. Perfect for a new User to tryout the Windows Menu look, or more of a GNOME dash, or whatever the other two options were.

    Seemed solid and user friendly. Everything worked out of the box.

    And they figured out funding: present a price, allow downloader to choose the price , or offer more, or type in 0.

    Mainly I’m still waiting for their admin Grid product to manage multiple machines from a central location.






  • While 2 drives is better, you can safely dual boot on one drive by making 2 EFI boot partitions. Install Linux on its own EFI and the probe foreign OS will find windows and add it as a chain loading entry. Set UEFI to boot from Linux partition. Windows will ignore the 2nd EFI and only mess with it’s own.
    If windows promts to add a drive letter on first boot (to the new efi and Linux partitions) just decline and choose the option to ignore in the future.

    Are you new to this world? Or just a youngling? While Wii wasn’t a high power console, it exploded from easy of pickup and play games, and a good set of add on devices to expand its use. I.e. for lightsabre games or bowling it had a Gyros plugin to install into the wand controller so it couldcalculates rotations in space. The balance board was used for tracking your weight from things like step workout, or you could use it for ski games, or balance challenges. You could add traditional style controllers to play something like SuoerMario, or steering wheel to pop the controller into and hold the wheel in the air in front of you to drive,
