I have an MSI laptop and MSI motherboard in a PC. Didn’t have any specific compatibility issues, and I’m running Linux on both. You can update the BIOS with an usb stick straight from the BIOS. There’s not really anything that 100% requires Windows.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Realizing Arch isn't for me after updating broke VLCEnglish
1·6 months agoGaruda works differently. You use garuda-update instead of pacman, and it takes care of just about everything for you. So, for example, if you have something like needing to uninstall a package because it was split (like linux firmware), garuda-update just takes care of that for you (after they update the scripts, which takes at most a week usually)

2·7 months ago+1 for Garuda. It’s nice that they have their own way of updating (garuda-update), which also handles situations like this one. It was very satisfying to not have to do anything when the linux-firmware change happened a couple of weeks back.

News@lemmy.world•Reddit bans an anti-natalist group after Palm Springs explosionEnglish
2·8 months agoThat’s an interesting viewpoint. Personally, I think the nihilistic persective is somewhere among the lines of:
At some point, all life shall cease. This is not an opinion, it is an unavoidable fact. All of our pretty houses will be gone, and so will all of our loved ones, that we so cherish. Even if we manage to find a cure to all disease, this will be meaningless. We will inherit the legacy of our indifferent universe: empty, dead space. At the very end, every single moment of our collective existence will be essentially reduced to such an absolute state of nothingness, one that we can’t even perceive. If you think about it, the only sane action, when faced with this truth, is inaction, for all is meaningless. The earth doesn’t have value because it has life. It lacked any value to begin with, for it too, will at some point be gone, likely much sooner than we think…
Or some shit like that. Hope I didn’t give you depression lol. Stay in school ig?

Buy European@feddit.uk•Mojeek: not US but gives far right results?English
11·10 months agoYeah, Mojeek isn’t really there yet imo. I heard Qwant and Ecosia are working on a search engine and crawler together, but you could use one of them until that’s released. I personally went with Qwant.

6·11 months agoI hope to see this spread to the south! Hopefully we can also get a standardized Made in EU sticker in supermarkets
I don’t really get Google’s angle since it’s pretty obvious that their AI search sucks. Maybe it’s just to impress shareholders?

1513·5 months agoFor some reason, all Lemmings seem to have a constant hate boner for him. I don’t like him, but this is just taking it to a whole new level…
2025 edit: I would like to retract my previous statement. I get it now.
Ah, yes. Wishing death to pets… Truly a lemmy moment it seems



Get started with a Linux server and then I’d go with something like Nextcloud in a Docker container. Then do reverse proxy, nginx on the host is very easy. You can get and update SSL certs with certbot (Let’s Encrypt).
