I am half way through my new game plus run of Metaphor: Refantazio. Hopefully beat the secret boss soon, and then I plan to move on to Persona 5 Royale. Played OG Persona 5 on PS4 a couple years ago, so have a rough idea of what I am getting into.

  • In short: Two Russian-born Australians have been charged with spying offences, the first time the new laws have been used.

  • The couple allegedly conspired to send sensitive Australian Defence Force material to Russian authorities.

  • What's next? Police say further spying charges could be laid as Operation BURGAZADA continues.

C'mon Sony, do us a solid and just release it on PC already.

Distro suggestions for grandparents? in c/linuxquestions@lemmy.zip

Thanks for the ideas. Will the update script still need sudo to run, or can it be done at an unprivileged user level?

Thanks, I will put Mint on a USB, along side some others as well. I have fond memories of Mint, as it was my first distro.

Thanks, and good idea on letting them check out the different DE's. Does Debian have multiple DE's ready to go, or do you need to install each one individually?

I was thinking Fedora as I use it personally on all my computers and really like it, but I thought Gnome would be too much of a drastic change for them since they are coming from Windows. Might just put it on a USB just in case, and let them test out a couple DE's before committing to anything.

Distro suggestions for grandparents? (aussie.zone)
 

Hello there. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a Linux distro for grandparents? They are over 70 years old, with an old HP desktop and laptop running Windows 10. All they need is a Web browser, so no need for special software or wine to run Windows programs. Would preferably like something that is low maintenance so I don't have to be constant tech support for them (apart from the initial install and setup). Thanks for any suggestions.

"Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc" New Key Visual, PV in c/anime@ani.social
[–] PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, it's a good story and all, but the last season was kinda boring so can't see how this would be enjoyable to watch...and this is coming from someone who has read the manga and loved it.

Can't stop the hype train though...

I read and caught up with the manga after season 1, and I can tell you I am hyped for this. Such a good story!

Still shitty, but at this point, anyone buying Blu-Rays and DVDs should chuck that stuff on Plex/Jellyfin and be done with it.

Me:

  • Gets a bill for my tax return.
  • Pays said bill.
  • 3 months later; government refunds me the interest from that bill.

Am I winning?
