alright edit: I have a Flatpak issue, not an SSD issue. does anyone have any thoughts? this could be due to the new linux mint update. my pc is a samsung galaxy s2 (750XED P13CFG)
the linux mint discussion forum has a post about my model not being great but last update my system worked just fine. i actually think having a full ssd broke flatpak. otherwise ive hit a horrible regression issue github.com/orgs/linuxmint/discussions/277
Now I’m gonna tell you what nobody talks about when moving to Linux:
Proprietary/non-Linux apps provide good features, support and have tons of hours of dev time and continuous updates that the FOSS alternatives can’t just match.
The difference is that there’s a lot of commercial support when it comes to supporting Linux servers due to many reasons, when it comes to the desktop it simply isn’t there.
If you require “professional” software such as MS Office, Adobe Apps, Autodesk, NI Circuit Design and whatnot Linux isn’t a viable options. The alternatives wont cut it if you require serious collaboration… virtualization, emulation (wine) may work but won’t be nice. Going for Linux kinda adds the same pains of going macOS but 10x. Once you open the virtualization door your productivity suffers greatly, your CPU/RAM requirements are higher and suddenly you’ve to deal with issues in two operating systems instead of just one. And… let’s face it, nothing with GPU acceleration will ever run decently unless big companies start fixing things - GPU passthroughs and getting video back into the main system are a pain and add delays.
To make things worse the Linux desktop development ecosystem is essentially non existent. The success of Windows and macOS is the fact that they provide solid and stable APIs and development tools that “make it easy” to develop for those platforms and Linux is very bad at that. The major pieces of Linux are constantly and ever changing requiring large and frequent re-works of apps. There aren’t distribution “sponsored” IDEs (like Visual Studio or Xcode), userland API documentation, frameworks etc.
I used to use one without any issues, it wasn’t the 5 series but it had NFC. The worst part was setting up to use it as an ssh key. Just normal 2FA with it worked straight out of the box (firefox/arch). Is that what you’re trying to do?
I recently experienced this. I’m thinking it could be a lot of things, but when I logged into the device through the hypervisor I got a domain controller trust issue error. Can you login locally to the device and check for errors?
Online Accounts has been removed from GNOME Initial Setup and it now uses the default web browser for authentication, which is a more secure method to log into your favorite accounts.
This is great to hear! Geary has been locked out of my university email for almost two years now because of a lack of support for TOTP in online accounts.
