Me too! I was going to suggest systemd services.

And, again, it seems like a non-problem. I suggest Lubuntu when it's appropriate - and I'm firmly in the Lubuntu camp. I sometimes suggest a few distros. I sometimes even suggest Mint. Sometimes I give them a link to the article above which suggests absolutely nothing. If anything, I'd argue...

I figure pretty much everyone here has access to a search engine if they want a list of distros suitable for beginners, or suitable for $X purposes. This really seems (to me) to be a non-problem looking for solutions.

I've got a copy of just the guitars doing Melisa around here somewhere. He will indeed be missed.

Also, do we really need rules for this? I'd hate to see a rule saying that nobody can recommend Mint.

I don't tend to recommend Mint exclusively, but may sometimes include it in a list of recommendations. I also am the author of this: https://linux-tips.us/finally-an-answer-to-what-is-the-best-linux-distro/

I could see that. Though, that mindset would lead to a process I should think.

Thanks! That's a whole lot of articles. It's almost 600,000 words. It's an article every other day.

Security is a process, not an application. A perfectly secure computer is impossible. So, we decide how much security we need when weighed against the goals we have for our computing time.

I haven't done a meta article in a long time. This is a meta article. Why? Well, things are going great - but, more importantly, today marks the third anniversary. Yup... I've been at this for three years. https://linux-tips.us/meta-ive-been-at-this-for-three-years/ No... No, I never thought...

Probably not - if you lower your activities accordingly. That's a good point. MSFT did so for their server editions in the past.

Some of the more modern CPUs run close to 100° C though many can be had with coolers that will keep the temps not far above ambient. You're welcome. The next article will be significant.

Nope. You probably don't need to disable a CPU or two. However, I wonder if this would help when you're in a region that's so hot that CPUs have problems running outside of air-conditioned environments.

This command tells you if BT is running: sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service

I haven't played with Qubes in a long time. Fortunately, Spectre and Meltdown were nullified fairly quickly. Those were particularly nasty. I should test this to see how much more battery life I get if I disable half the cores on a laptop. I won't test it, but I should. These days, modern CPUs...
