Mint is always my recommendation for a Linux beginner. It's the most "it just works" distro I've ever messed with, and has plenty of documentation for anything you'd need.

As for advice: I know you want to avoid the CLI, but try to poke around in there and learn it some. Once you get used to it, you can accomplish a lot of things even faster than through GUI applications.

We'll have to wait for the next model, this one is strictly unmanned cargo transport.

If the judge loses it bad enough, they can claim "judicial bias" and have a pretty clear path to mistrial/appeal. Given the situation, it's probably the best play they have.

"Judicial bias" is going to be thrown around a lot during appeals, and these same quotes from Engoron will be used as evidence. This is all a play, and it could work in the long-term.

The only way it makes sense is within the same facility. You could use water or refrigerant in heat exchangers, and run insulated lines to other parts of the building. Wouldn't do too much, but might see a slight reduction in heating costs.

"Does he have weird third-party monitoring software on his government phone?" is what the headline is referencing, that's a massive problem. Confidential info could end up who-knows-where if it was sniffed.

Older houses are fun. Yes, this does just lead into the wall cavity. Yes, if you open up that wall you'll probably find a pile of old razor blades right behind it.

Sounds like a great excuse for a bit of a hardware upgrade, SSDs have gotten pretty cheap. You can change your whole computing life for $30-50.

Both, but consumer is generally worse. For reference, check here for issues related to yours. The instructions are geared toward Arch, but the problems affect most distros.

Proprietary BS, Dell has become kinda notorious for that. A lot of their stuff has weird hacky workarounds to get Linux running properly. Unfortunately there isn't a great way to know that in advance, other than poking through wikis or asking around.

For most computers, it really isn't much different than installing Windows. Most things will just work, maybe a few drivers to install, and you're good to go.

Gotta love that new med clusterfuck. My first couple weeks of lurasidone were like that, but it did settle down pretty well after the initial chaos.

Wishing you luck dude, it's always rough.

The problem with a bigger pack would be weight. The current packs are usually 4-8lbs each and only run for 30-60 minutes. A scaled up backpack that would fit a landscapers needs would be 50-60lbs.

Demand means nothing if battery tech isn't there yet. We need lighter cells with higher capacities first.
