Just finished Alice in Borderland and started Six Feet Under to replace it. Have an episode or two to go in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
Our bedtime shows are currently Classic Doctor Who, Torchwood, Stargate SG1, Loki, Monk, and Batman Beyond. Echo will probably replace Loki after we finish the last episode.
Haven’t seen The Irishman yet.
I’ve actually had more issues with Windows doing that. My wifi drivers have stopped working on more than one occasion, and once it just decided to stop recognizing my wife’s hard drive.
You’ve already gotten great answers on what Wayland is, but as far as who should care:
Mainly developers and users with niche workflows. People with NVIDIA cards should care a little as initially NVIDIA did not support Wayland, but NVIDIA drivers are catching up so this should continue to improve. Most users should just switch when their DE switches.
The right to the highest attainable standard of mental and physical health is a fundamental right of every human being.
States have the obligation to protect, promote and defend this right. Commitments at the global and regional levels have been established in support of this right.
That’s really all there is to say on the subject, isn’t it? Though I live in a country that refuses to guarantee that standard for its own citizens, so good luck getting it to cover migrants.
It’s been 30 years, do something new.
The business sees you as a replaceable cog in their machine. They’re paying you to do the job now, but they could replace you with someone else and it’s all the same to them.
So to you, the business is a replaceable source of income. It’s ok to like your job, and it’s ok to like your coworkers, but if at some point you choose to move on, you just do it and no hard feelings. Don’t give into any guilt trips or gaslighting you to want to stay: this is a business arrangement, and as soon as you leave they’ll just hire someone else to replace you.
Outside of that, just show up and leave on time and don’t go out of your way to piss people off, and you should do fine.
Your biggest tech challenge will likely be in installing linux. So take your time and work through a tutorial.
Linux is a fundamentally different OS from Windows. Some desktop environments resemble various Windows versions, while others are very different: they might be more Mac like, or more mobile like, or completely unfamiliar.
Installing programs is generally easier on linux because the default is to use the package manager (basically an app store) rather than downloading sketchy programs off websites that all want to update on their own schedule and all want to start when you boot the OS. Just search them, set updates to pop up weekly or whatever your preferred schedule is, and your package manager will do the rest.
Troubleshooting is harder for new users but easier for experienced users: it typically requires more work that can be daunting for casual users, but it lets you get much deeper into the OS to fix problems, where on Windows you might just be stuck waiting for a patch.
Compatibility is usually the biggest frustration, since many programs do not release a linux version, so you need to find alternatives or run them in a compatibility layer. Both of these solutions can sometimes cause problems getting the exact functionality you need, whereas if you’re using the natively supporting OS it may be smoother.
I first heard of it in the early 2000s, with my dad talking about replacing our buggy Windows ME with Lindows. Eventually, that computer died without us ever attempting to install it.
In college, I hung out with someone who used linux and thought it looked cool. I successfully dual booted Ubuntu on my PC around 2005 or 2006, but could never get the video drivers working properly (it was stuck at the lowest resolution) and eventually gave up on it.
I started adminning a web forum around 2014 or so, and the previous admin talked me into dual booting Fedora rather than only using Putty. So I started using it intermittently whenever I started working on the forum, though I never really got into GNOME. He also told me about raspberry pis, so I picked up a pi 2 and started tinkering with it.
When my wife moved in (2018), she (a software developer) was working on a project and asked me if I’d heard of raspberry pis, as she was recommended to use one but hadn’t looked into it yet. I pulled my pi 2 out of storage and she fell in love with it, so we started buying loads of pi 3s and zeroes, with me testing out different distros and setups for her while she was working on the project code.
Finally, somewhere around 2018 or 2019 my laptop started running like shit on Windows. I tried out Xubuntu and fell in love with it. It ended up becoming our go-to distro, getting slapped on old desktops she brought home from work and a used laptop I bought for our daughter. So that became the daily driver on my laptop, even as she moved onto Alpine with i3wm.
And now we both have Pinetab 2s, so I think it’s fair to say we’re full on linux nerds at this point. We still have Windows on some of our desktops, though, so we’re more pragmatists than linux proselytizers.
TL;DR: I heard about it young, and that interest grew into dabbling, until I finally got addicted to it.
For years before emojis LOL, ROFL, and LMFAO meant a mild chuckle…
A single emoji to add a little mood at the end of a comment is fine. As soon as I have to interpret a fucking code I’m downvoting and moving on.
You’re running a live image, so the list of packages in the external repositories may be blank depending on how Kali does its defaults. Having apt fetch a package list is a very easy first troubleshooting step.
Did you try apt update and apt search? Is it in the repositories you’re searching? Do you need to add a repository and/or build it from GitHub?
The reason Kali is a meme is because it’s intended for professionals but often used by newbies, and you’re asking a rather basic question about package management.
It’s been approved for weight loss since 2021 under the brand name Wegovy. The only difference between Ozempic and Wegovy is Wegovy is dosed slightly higher.
Apparently it’s possible, though I personally haven’t tried it. Probably not the best machine for streaming in general.

How about Pinebook Pro?
Now 76% of all the posts in the Fediverse are about Linux!
Welcome!
Nostalgia happens because you remember the good and forget the bad. People remember Mario 3 but forget Mario is Missing.
In 20 years, people will say, “Remember when they made good games like Baldur’s Gate 3 rather than the trash that is Baldur’s Cash Grab?” Kids today will wax poetic about how the 2020s was the last good decade for gaming.
The truth is, there will always be good and bad games.
This is the perfect machine to play around with linux on. If you’re going to toss the computer anyway, you have zero stakes to learn a new OS.
I’d use Windows’ Media Creation Tool to make Windows installation media. If your linux journey doesn’t work out or you get bored, you can slap a factory Windows image on it and sell it on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. You can probably get $100-120 for it, maybe more.

In short, acacia ants protect the trees in exchange for food, and the trees offer shelter for lions so they can hunt more easily. But invasive ants displace the acacia ants, leading to more trees dying, so lions have fewer places to hide when they hunt.
