Oh, you should access the Windows hard disk with the file explorer you have on LinuxMint or Manjaro. They both include ntfs-3g that is the program that can read ntfs filesystems.

Perfect. Google Sheets works on Chrome browsers so you can install Chrome. MS Notepad and PaintBrush do not exist on Linux. Alternatives are GIMP, Krita or Paintbrush. Since Notepad is very simple, you have Mousepad, Gedit and many more. I

My suggestion is for him to write "I have Manjaro installed, how do i update the system?" but Manjaro also includes an updater. "How I install on Linux Mint the GIMP program for photo editing?" these are examples. Since

Windows worked for a full year? Oh wow. My two cents: 1. Manjaro with Plasma, 2. Most distros can access ntfs. You say "easy" so you probably never used anything Linux related. If possible, try to get help from someone you know wh

Blocking Twitter is a good start, now Facebook, Instagram, Whatsup and TikTok. This is a good start but more should be blocked. Then force ISP to block ads. Not just for Indonesia but all countries. But we still have a lot more to do to fix

Key to remember is never use anything that comes from Microsoft. Even vscode should be replaced with vscodium. But something from M$ that is so critical is just bad. Even some Thinkpad T come signed with some M$ keys and that is really bad.

It its just a tool, use it as a tool. Rmember when we had to create programs reading the assembler manual and put byte by byte? It was kinda hard. Then someone invented a language. A compiler started to do all the work you did not wanted to

RISC vs CISC. Why you think a mainframe is so fast? ARM is great. Those M are the only thing I could buy used and put Linux on it.

I agree with the part that is not acceptable for a company to have 80% of share of something. Let's put the bar on 40% to make competion healthy. Now cut in half every company that has more than 40% of any share of the market on someth

So many hacks before that had name, address, phone, ss number, had it all and people don't blink an eye. Until it happens to them.

Any Electron app is a privacy nightmare as it connects to Google for "dictionary" download. You cannot disable this, unless you block redirector.gvt1.com domain.

"Whatever fight against big tech has to be won on the streets, parliaments and courtrooms.", let me add schools here. The main problem is that Windows comes on laptops. So how can we fight this? It might be hard to make this illeg

Great. macOS is freebsd so it's not Linux but closer to Linux than Windows. That is good. The bad is that Apple is just like Windows, just wants to look better. It is not. Better than Windows? Ok, a little better yes.

I've used it for very simple things but I don't thing it even has 1% of the installed Excel program does. It is too simple and buggy. Few days ago wife opened an excel file on the browser and something was right away wrong, she no

Don't want anyone to use that but that is good to prove that almost everybody can use a spreedsheat that is not Excel. Including LibreCalc. And many others. The same situation is for email. Who needs Outlook? Nobody! You can do almost

Let's not compare the advanced options of Excel or how Excel bugs annoy me. There are loads of them. Let's just compare what people do when they need a tool like Excel. That's when the 90 or maybe more % of people will do. Th

Thank you for sharing this. Scott is a tech guy so he is not the average user. I fight for the average user for respect of privacy and security, because, go figure, the average user only knows what there is a browser or an app, and they can

I think a site like reuters should not use "google googletagmanager go-mpulse.net pub.network tru.am dianomi.com" and maybe some other domains. One more reason to use uBlock Origin or Pi-Hole to block this crap.

Engineers should not be worried. AI will first start to replace CEO and all managers. That will bring great value to companies. At the same time, AI will replace politicians and become president. Just imagine a president that does the right

I understand this. I do disable the uBlock Origin on few selected sites. But this topic has grown more than I could imagine. Ads are a jungle. We do need to change this. Make this companies behave and not exploit people.

Correct, I used it and love it, but ok, uBlock Origin does almost everything uMatrix did, I understand why the creator had to choose a path. uBlock Origin is still the best. It does not have "white lists".

Talking about ads, just went in the living room and tv was turned on and there were ads. I never see any ads but let me take 30 seconds to see what is on tv. Absolutly disgusting. Wasted 30 seconds of my life and now I need medication to sl
