This would be terrible, because any website could potentially make you a seeder for „illegal“ content while normally browsing the web without a VPN. Meaning, your real IP address may accidentally be recorded by some lawerers and you'll get a fine for whatever you accidentally shared (very dangerous, depending on country).
There are already solutions for webtorrents, but at least these scripts can be blocked.

Thanks, it worked! I enabled HDR before and never had any problems with it on NVIDIA with the latest 560 driver.

All seems well after a reboot. I was asleep the last few hours. ;)

It does, but since I used Plasma 5 before, there are some old files scattered around in my home folder.

Thanks, I will try that.
It is the only file in there.

Displays/screens, especially OLED these days. My phone screen uses this technology, my smartwatch, my tablet and my Alienware ultrawide PC monitor for gaming and movies.

Most Lego games. It's like a physical pain to me, NOT to 100 % them.

You don't have to, just get it from flathub as a flatpak.

Why the hassle? It is available to install as flatpak for any distro: https://flathub.org/apps/com.makemkv.MakeMKV

I did install it via package manager back when I used this distro and it worked well, but some weeks after, I switched distros to Kubuntu. Now I'm using Arch btw. with latest KDE Plasma (I recommend this).

Windows XP on a laptop. Then Windows 7 on a new laptop. After that, Windows 10 and Windows 11 on desktop and another new laptop.
Tried Debian on my laptop. Later, switched completely to Linux Mint on desktop. Distro-hopped to Kubuntu (KDE Plasma). Wanted to get Plasma 6 immediately after release, so I installed EndeavourOS on my desktop and laptop.
Now switched to pure Arch Linux on my desktop PC, didn't boot Windows on any of my private PCs for months (no dual boot, only GPU passthrough VM).

Here is a comment I made in another thread:
For pirated games, I recommend Bottles installed as a flatpak. That's because it has a per-game toggle for sandboxing the app, not giving it access to your complete home folder and optionally no network access or audio output.
Even when using trusted sources, you can never be safe enough. Bottles with sandboxing will at least protect your files from crypto trojans and prevent you from becoming part of a botnet. It should not have any impact on performance.
Remember to put all installer files anywhere inside the prefix folder, otherwise sandboxing denies access to them. After creating an empty game entry in Bottles, check the 3 dots menu for the option to open it in your file explorer.

Visual Studio is not available on Linux and not really working in Wine, sadly. You can use IntelliJ IDEA as a good alternative, it supports Linux officially and has a Flutter plugin.
For a beginner, Linux Mint is perfect. It is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so you can follow most tutorials written for either distribution (like the installation instructions for IntelliJ IDEA or other software that is not available from the APT package manager).
Link: https://tauonmusicbox.rocks/ For podcasts and radio, you'll need another program. But this is the closest any player has come to the Windows-only MusicBee masterpiece. Via Wine, I've been using MusicBee since I switched to Linux a few months ago, but it was tedious to set up. Tauon Music Box has the best search I've ever seen, just type anywhere and start playback with left click or jump to song/artist/album with right click. It also has a great way to write filter and sort queries for custom libraries (the same as playlists here). F5 shows the current cover and song name in "fullscreen" with a frequency spectrum visualizer.

I chose **Debian 12** as a solid and stable base. Which of these shipped DEs is the best for this particular laptop series and Windows 10 like user experience? **GNOME 43, KDE Plasma 5.27, LXDE 11, LXQt 1.2.0, MATE 1.26, Xfce 4.18** Don't know the exact laptop model and year, but **here are some specs**: IdeaPad, only HDD, DVD drive, shipped with Win 8 or 10 (I think), unbearably slow on Win 10 currently Use case: office, web, movies (not streaming), things for non-tech-savvy users Personally, I'm using Arch btw with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland, so I would prefer this over other DEs, but Debian still ships version 5. Has anyone experience with performance on an old Lenovo laptop with any of the listed environments?
I tested it a bit in a VM to get familiar with pacman and yay. Latest KDE Plasma 6 and more snaps in Ubuntu's future are the main reasons I want to switch. As I don't use a separate home partition, I have an extra drive with BackInTime home dir backups and virtnbdbackup snapshots. Is EndeavourOS stable enough for everyday use and would restoring home with BackInTime just work (as root user)?
