I got my father onto Linux a while ago and the first thing he commented on was how snappy the whole system was

If windows 7 was still supported it would be my go to for the rare “I need windows” moments. Windows 11 seems sluggish to me

This was such a frustrating experience. I could probably count on one hand how many times I found a useful solution that wasn’t just copy paste

I’m surprised by this too. Proton has been mostly problem free

I’m guessing they would have some sort of overhead crane to do the heavy lifting

I know everyone rags on Apple Music but I switched a while ago and have been happy with the experience. Combined with the cider 2 app for music on my computer I haven’t been left lacking

Another option if you wish to protect your whole network is to set up something like pi-hole or AdGuard. I recently set up pi-hole on our network. I’m shocked by the amount of blocked traffic coming from phones and windows machines. Don’t even get me started on the traffic from our smart tv.

I jumped from windows to Pop-os (Ubuntu based) after my windows boot dive failed. The switch was surprisingly trouble free for me. A few minor teething issues here and there but otherwise fine

Need Advice on Stable WiFi for Home with Multiple WiFi Devices (aussie.zone)
 

Hi Everyone,

I’m in the market for a new WiFi router or mesh system. My previous Asus gaming router often crashed and reset, and I’d like to avoid such issues.

Key Needs:

•	Stability for multiple phones, laptops and smart devices (lights, plugs, cameras)
•	Good Range & Speed
•	User-Friendly
  •     Ability to connect about 8 Ethernet devices

Budget: Reasonable, prioritizing value.

Would love to hear your recommendations, especially if you have a smart home setup. Thanks a lot!

[Support] UEFI boot order changed when booting into windows (aussie.zone)
 

First off, sorry if this isn't quite the right community, I did try posting on !pop_os@lemmy.world but didn't get a solution. You can see that post here

I have my computer set up to dual boot pop!_os and windows on separate drives. I have my UEFI set up to boot into pop OS and I use systemd-boot to load windows, however after booting to windows and restarting my UEFI boot preferences are changed so Windows boots first instead of pop os.

I have fast boot and secure boot turned off in the bios and fast boot turned off in windows. How can I prevent this?

Boot order gets changed every time I boot to windows (aussie.zone)
 

I have my computer set up to dual boot pop!_os and windows on separate drives. I have it set up to boot into pop OS and I use systemd-boot to boot windows, however after booting to windows and restarting again my boot preferences are changed so Windows boots first instead of pop os.

Is there anyway I can prevent this from happening? I have fast boot and secure boot turned off.

Will Aussie.zone be defederating from meta’s threads? (aussie.zone)
 

With all the talk about lemmy.ml defederating from threads I’ve been wondering what Aussie.zone’s stance is on the matter.
