So I recently switched to fedora... until yesterday... The SSD that I was using i didn't know but it had a lot of problems so I live booted on USB and on the KDE Partition Manager, when I checked the S.M.A.R.T report I didn't expect to see that...

Google claim that their upcoming laptop is the "perfect partner to your Android phone" because you can "access files from your phone as if they live on your laptop" - but did you know that this is already possible, no special laptop model needed?

KDE Connect is completely free and open source software (FOSS) to link your devices together, supported by the @kde charity. It works on almost all phone models, and it does more than just allow you to access your phone's storage. For example, with KDE Connect your phone immediately becomes a remote control for music or videos playing on your laptop or desktop PC!

Don't get drawn in by the slick marketing - you don't need AI to make your life easier with technology, and most of the features large software companies such as Google are promoting have already been thoughtfully implemented by dedicated volunteers in the FOSS community.

So I've tried Arch Linux, it was great but I also tried daily driving it on a old Dell Inspiron 5482 smth like that, honestly it worked great, but because I also have a Samsung Galaxy Book4, I tried to install it on this computer, but for some reason the os decided that on the Dell it would work well but on the Samsung one it would not work well... The Galaxy Book drivers are installed, same for the Intel iGPU drivers but nope... it is slow... If anybody can help me please, I'm new to this...

It is the 10th of May, 00:08 CEST, and... The #sessiontechnologyfoundation, is still at risk... The Sesson Technology Fundaction, had one goal: Respect people privacy, and it is at risk of shutting down if we don't help them... Their funding goal might seem high, and we are at 19% of it. This is our only way of saving privacy...
