The benefit of Debian is that it stays the same for a long time. It can be huge timesaver
If you open up the kernel manager you can switch to a newer release
Also I think they now have a version with a newer kernel
You can use distrobox with podman to get newer software. You also can use Flatpaks
Many of us are still very salty
Its not like it is the only option. There are so many better systems these days it isn’t even funny. Use Linux Mint, Fedora, Pop OS or maybe even Bazzite.
Or he might just all out win as Harris isn’t popular and the last election was almost 50/50
Just rewrite it a few more times
Apparently
I just though maybe we shouldn’t make memes out of racist art
Cups only listens on local host only by default. Also it requires you to connect to a printer which is unaffected by the Firewall.
So some obscure thing you experienced 10 years ago is now the standard? I have been doing this a while and what you are describing is Franky crazy and I’ve never scene it outside of some business plans with bring your own device.
That’s why I posted it. It has been rolled
Just keep in mind is unstable and not secure
Fun to play with. Just don’t use it for critical stuff
Fire up React OS one of these days
Has there ever been a good version of Windows? Old versions were functional but terribly insecure and newer versions are reasonably secure but cloud connected ad platforms.
Windows 10 is probably the middle ground although the newer versions come with the same anti features Windows 11 has
Computers are built on abstraction. You start at the most abstracted layer and work your way down. I would next check what resolutions are exposed in the kernel. If 5k isn’t exposed I would check the kernel itself. At the very bottom is hardware but I think this is a software issue. It may just be flat out not supported by Linux.
You know enough to be dangerous…
Why would an ISP assign a public IP to a users device? That wouldn’t make any sense. IPs are rare and expensive so that wouldn’t waste it on you. Each customer gets one IP and that is shared for all devices via NAT.
What your describing doesn’t make any sense
You don’t understand local host. Services listen on 127.0.0.1 which is a local only address. You can only connect to it locally
I would advise that you ignore a lot if the advise here and do your own research. You probably don’t need a local Firewall and if you want to block content use DNS and browser extensions
Because Ubuntu by itself is in the “not great” category. It takes other to make it usable
