If you want to pay for or pirate a font, there’s of course Albertus. The best free (OFL) font I’ve found with a similar look is Della Respira, only a single-style font:

I’m not sure how you plan on using a proportional font in the terminal, though.

Soulseek

It’s not CentOS 3, it’s CentOS with Linux kernel 3.10 (a 2014 kernel). This was supported in RHEL/CentOS through 2017.

Still very dated and a bad idea, of course. And even weirder that it’s on a new machine. I’ve seen tons of stores using Win7 past it’s EOL, but on older hardware.

Inter is great, I’ve been using it (TTF hinted) as my UI font for years and it renders very sharply. I’m on Debian and KDE Plasma

It’s not made by Google though, it’s this guy, Rasmus Andersson

I’ve always used XFS on spinning drives and F2FS on SSDs. No issues, they’re very solid

Soulseek is good. It’s a peer-to-peer sharing service, so you can just choose who to download from rather than waiting in a queue. You can find things in FLAC if you want it, or in various lossy qualities.

Were you watching 4K77 and 4K83 with Digital Noise Reduction? The movies are distributed in two versions, one with film grain and the other with DNR.

Maybe if the first number includes tanks of Russian manufacture in Ukrainian service

I’m not familiar with exactly what you mean, does it not require a password to boot that way? I have full-disk encryption on my laptop but not with TPM, grub just prompts me for a password before the kernel boots

What it sounds like you want is only your home folder encrypted, where it decrypts seamlessly upon login. It sounds like you have encrypted OS root, which is more secure but necessarily requires a password before the system gets to the login screen.

Other than reinstalling your system, you do have the option of either making your decryption password shorter, and/or enabling auto-login after boot (if you’re the computer’s only user), so you’d only have to type one password instead of two.

Nice! What graphics card do you have? AMD generally works well out-of-the-box, but if you have NVidia you may need to install drivers

I’m not sure if it meets all your requirements, but Dolphin has a dual-panel mode if you press F3 and has lots of other configuration options as well

If the computer boots but you can’t access a GUI, use Ctrl+Alt+F3 to open a console. From there you can use nano to edit the login manager configuration. If you had GNOME installed, your login manager is probably GDM, and its config should be at /etc/gdm/daemon.conf, according to the manual. If that is the case, it looks like you should erase the username under the entry “AutomaticLogin=”.

If I understand correctly, the filesystem driver is contained within the kernel for all linux-native filesystems (Ext4, XFS, BtrFS, F2FS, etc.), just as drivers for computer components and devices are. But drivers to access NTFS (Windows) and HFS+ (Mac OS) drives are programs in userspace

Is it just me or does it seem a bit out-of-touch to brag that last year’s $1100 phone is still usable? You would sure hope it wasn’t made obsolete that quickly

Debian. Huge repository, no bullshit, and basically any software for Linux is packaged/compatible with it.

The market in smartphones should be expected to decline, and that’s a good thing. People keeping old phones for longer = less e-waste, but they have to introduce a new, fragile gimmick for profits

do you know literally anything about history or geopolitics? north korea is aiding Palestine, russia is allied with iran and syria, while isn’treal is backed by the US empire and its satellites such as the UK and Germany. without the backing of the west the zionist entity would collapse

The backend should be the same (Freetype)… only difference I can think of is that GNOME uses Wayland by default while KDE defaults to X11 and offers Wayland as an option. Do you have a HiDPI screen?

piracy is not that deep… the OS doesn’t really matter in this case as what you’re concerned about is the ISP, not anything in your own PC. if you don’t have a VPN, your ISP could send letters bugging you for downloading stuff. you’d probably have to get dozens of letters before the ISP would cancel your service.

just get a VPN for $5/month and you don’t have to worry about it.
