I do like FlorisBoard but japanese support is lacking it seems and as a learner, it made me have to go toward Gboard. Granted I am able to put GBoard behind a firewall and cut off it’s network connectivity.

Perhaps I am not thinking correctly then. I may have modded in that support or something, but it is possible for the GOG version because I just did a playthrough of both last year. But like I said maybe I had to do extra configuration to get it to work. YMMV.

I got the GOG version as well as having it on Steam. The GOG version has the controller support too as well as being ownable through have the installer files. I understand where I am on Lemmy here but the KOTOR games are some of my absolute favorites so I had no problem buying them again for a few dollars.

It’s an arch based distro that includes its own really fancy desktop theme and other visuals. Never tried it myself but I have heard some good. It is a little resource heavy though.

Very fair approach.

Not a problem, I enjoy passing down knowledge even though I am still relatively new in the field as well (5 ish years). Good luck with the business! Don’t get discouraged if it starts slow, don’t be afraid to admit that you don’t know how to do something yet, and never stop learning.

So for me (also do IT/Security consulting and repair) I have:

• Clonezilla (multiple versions for different CPU architecture as well as x86 and x64 boards
• DBAN (only for HDDs)
• Hirens Boot CD (for Window OS repair/password resets)
• GParted (same setup as Clonezilla)
• Kali Linux (for security auditing and malware analyzation)
• Puppy Linux (for general stuff/data rescue on old computers/anything I need to boot into RAM for)
• TAILS (it is intended for heavy privacy and security but I actually don’t really use it, but it’s small so I leave it on there)
• SystemRescue (Linux distro for all sorts of rescue purposes)
• Sometimes a Windows install/recovery ISO (per need basis, typically Hirens solves recovery stuff so I rarely go this route for recovery)

I have these running on a 128 (I think, might be bigger) flash drive that I actually have looped on my keychain. I have found that 90% of the things I need to do can be done from that, and having it on my keys means I always have it ready. Unless I lose my keys for a while that is…

DBAN is for HDDs and using it for an SSD is not really worth the effort. If the SSD manufacturer does not provide a wiping tool (Samsung does for the EVOs) and you need to make sure the data is wiped, you better crack it open like a clam shell and destroy the board inside. In my opinion you should never sell or give away a used SSD because of that.

While I agree that it is heavily biased and big on right wing propaganda, I don’t think that is cause to reject anything they report in its entirety. Lots of salt of course, but I think if this issue is to be taken seriously at all, we need to at least listen to all sides of the spectrum. In this case if this congressman is actually involved in this, I am at least inclined to hear what they have to say.
