It means they paid money or provided a service free of charge or with a significant rebate in exchange for advertisement. It’s probably no more than that.

You’re welcome! :)

Mint, or any other flavor of Ubuntu, don’t come with the third party driver installer GUI application. You have to read documentation and go through command line to install the correct driver.

Yes.

No I think they mean the Docker Desktop application. The commercial GUI to docker.

Ubuntu. It has great Nvidia driver support. Everything works practically out of the box.

Just an anecdote, I would LOVE for ffmpeg to have a GUI.

Saved this post for later. Am also a sucker for cheap little indie games.

It’s been so long since I installed mine that I forget.

I remember there being an option to download and install additional drivers during the installation. Otherwise, it’s a very simple process. As you can see here:

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-24-04

On Ubuntu there’s literally an application for additional drivers. On Kubuntu, I think you have to used the command line because Canonical only prioritizes their Gnome desktop. Kubuntu is a community-driven flavour. However, once you know which driver is recommended, you can use the graĥical software installer to install it.

1. Ubuntu and derivatives. (I prefer Kubuntu, personally. It has even more support for things like HDR) I have a 3070 RTX and it’s working just fine in Kubuntu.

2. Good question! I would definitely back up the files first and reformat in EXT4 or BTRFS or whatever. Then when you install the games in Steam with the compatibility layer, you can specify where to install the games. Then check where saved games/profiles are located and possibly overwrite the files?

3. Yes. No doubt.

I dunno. Sounds like a repo-specific thing. OP is on Debian 12 and what I’m understanding is they’re also seeing this message for a third party repo.

Yeah the whole reason for packages being kept back is because they are rolling them out slowly to ensure that no major bugs affect the great majority of users of those packages.

You wouldn’t want your whole Ubuntu or Debian user base getting stuck with the same problem and having to roll back all at the same time. availa roll out certain packages slowly so only a small portion have to do it, and also save your reputation, and finally give the package maintainers to fix the problem.

Let me start a team for my team in Teams.

Back in 2000, we had RedHat at school. I bought a boxed copy of Mandrake Linux from a software store back then and installed it on my home PC back then because I didn’t know how to get it otherwise.

It was a great distro with tons of great applications and graphical tools. Then eventually moved to Ubuntu in 2004 and I’ve been with them ever since.

I’m in that picture and I don’t like it.

The dev studio is actually from Québec city in my province. They made a stop at a store just a couple of blocks from my place to sign the cartridge boxes and meet fans.

I bought the thing to play it, collector value be dammed.

Bought it as a cartridge and haven’t opened it yet. I should get to it.

Oh man. I don’t know how many tmes I got caught by that fast startup fake shutdown bullshit. Good thing you brought it up.

Windows is getting so enshittified that even regular non tech users are noticing all the crap features that are being force fed.

A lot of people find MacOS fun. I really haven’t used it enough (or barely) to have an opinion. But it seems to be a powerful OS when you know how to use it. Especially since its based on BSD.
