Qvest,

One thing I give Linux credit for is how it handles updates. Like, yeah, Linux doesn’t force updates, that we all know, but I like how at least in the GNOME desktop, there is no “Update and action” button, there is only the shutdown and restart buttons, where if I am to press either, the system will ask me if I want to install updates or not with a nice box to tick the option. Nowhere near as cluttered as it is in the picture.

Qvest,

Yeah. GNOME does this probably because it’s safer and ensures that the packages are downloaded in full before applying updates in an environment that is less likely for something to go wrong (Although I particularly don’t know how true this is)

Qvest,

It’s a cool concept in the sense that it obfuscates the user by filling the advertising algorithm with garbage so that profiling supposedly becomes more difficult. I don’t use it as I don’t need this feature and just want to block ads (uBlock Origin is the best content-blocker right now), but if you want the features, you can use it.

A plus is that it is also based on uBlock Origin

Qvest,

Thanks for the reply. What’s weird is that I’ve done what the endeavouros forums said (and, looking through them, they did similar steps as the ones outlined on the archwiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Preserve_video_memory_after_suspend and I still get that black frozen screen with just a cursor. I’m guessing this is exclusively NVIDIA’s fault… or KDE’s as I never had this problem on GNOME. Thanks anyhow
