I am gonna simplify it. This contains a lot of generalisation.

A distro or distribution is like Windows or macOS. When you want to install applications you mainly look for applications (they are generally called packages in linux) that are built for these distros. Major ones are Debian (Ubuntu comes under this), Fedora and Arch. Here the Debian/Ubuntu is the most user friendly with lots of guides and forums to help you get going. Most applications that has a Linux version will support Ubuntu. Major advantage of Debian is that, its stable. Because of this, core files that a system needs to run will be thoroughly tested and will not break. If you are testing the waters, you should go with distributions like Debian 12, Ubuntu 24 or 22.

Okay, coming to Desktop Environments, for now you only need to know about two, KDE, & Gnome. They are the GUI that you interact with. They come with basic GUI applications like a file manager, Terminal Emulators, etc. If you like window 10 style, you can go with KDE and Gnome is a little different, but its the default option in Ubuntu I think. You can install any DEs on any distributions but may require some know how. So DEs are for basic utility and Look and Feel.

Major DEs are almost safe.

Go to flathub and check the permission of the application that you want to install. Normally they won't have access to root directory, but could access your home dir. If they had any malicious intent, they could mess with your personal files.
I think there is another application that can restrict the permission scope on flathub itself.

One good movie and she is everywhere all at once.

 

Apple, Samsung, Google etc. all have their own ecosystems and gadgets like Phone, Earbuds, Watches, Tablets, Laptops work better with each other or at least they are saying so. Do you make your purchasing decisions based on the above mentioned ecosystem preference or otherwise.

 

I am eating too much junk and processed food while watching movies and youtube videos. I want to stop as it affects my health. Any suggestions.

 

Title.

 

With no graphics card specific compilation to the ffmpeg, which among intel or AMD is better for executing

ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx265 -crf 26 -preset fast -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

Would tight integration between amd cpu + gpu help in this case?

Fyi. Currently i am using intel with cpu only mode for this and its pretty slow.

The mail service has to be affordable (around 10 euros per year). Tuta was an option but their plans are somewhat overpriced for me. Anyone using their (Tuta) free plan? How is it?

 

Like hosted a website or a server for your personal needs, or taken a smartphone given to you for work or something like that.
