    Thing is, you can't just do that as a registered corporation, even if you're from another country.

  • Why do you have to install Usb-Drivers on Windows, but I never had to do it on Linux?
  • There are basically two different approaches to drivers. Windows will have some very basic drivers built-in, but most of them are downloaded and installed when a component that requires them is detected in current versions of Windows.

    Linux on the other hand includes every driver it knows about out of the box. You won't ever need to install additional drivers if the hardware is supported. This makes Linux an excellent portable system, you can just take a drive out of one pc with an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU and put it into one with an Intel CPU and AMD GPU without driver issues*.

    *as long as you stick to the included drivers

  • It will be the workers, with their courage, resolution and self-sacrifice, who will be chiefly responsible for achieving victory. The petty bourgeoisie will hesitate as long as possible and remain fearful, irresolute and inactive; but when victory is certain it will claim it for itself and will call upon the workers to behave in an orderly fashion, and it will exclude the proletariat from the fruits of victory. ... the rule of the bourgeois democrats, from the very first, will carry within it the seeds of its own destruction, and its subsequent displacement by the proletariat will be made considerably easier..

  • Is there a Linux drawing tablet, or a tablet Linux can be installed on?
  • Your best bet is anything Wacom as they have their own driver in Linux. Alternatively OpenTabletDriver supports some other tablets as well https://opentabletdriver.net/Tablets.

    Documenting commands # or $ before sudo?

    This might be a stupid question, but hear me out. I regularly document steps to install various software for myself on my wiki More recently, I managed to use different custom text in the source markdown to prepend # and $ automatically, so commands can be copied more easily while still clarifying if it should be run as a normal user or as root.

    Run command as user $ some cool command

    Run command as root/superuser with sudo ```

    some dangerous command

    ```

    I usually remove and sudo and use the # prefix. However, in some cases, the sudo actually does something different that needs to be highlighted. For example, I might use it to execute a command as the user www-data sudo -u www-data cp /var/www/html/html1 /var/www/html/html2 I often use $ as a prefix, but # would also make sense. How would you prefix that line?

    Office Laptop recommendations 700€ - 900€

    I hope it's alright to post this question here. Please direct me to a more appropriate commuity if not. Anyways, my sister's looking for a new laptop and I decided to lend my expertise. I've got a list of various requirements, but maybe some of them are too strict or I'm missing something.

    Usage

    • Mostly office & webbrowser
    • Some light gaming (Minecraft, SWTOR, Drakensang)
    • Youtube playback in the background while gaming

    Current laptop

    HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba070nz

    Hard Requirements

    Stuff that's absolutely required

    • Budget 700€ - 900€
    • 14" screen size
    • <1.6 kG weight
    • min. wifi 5 (802.11ac)
    • \>250cd/m^2 display brightness
    • all-day battery life (>8h)
    • Windows 11 (I won't evangelize Linux to her)

    Soft Requirements

    Additional requirements I thought off, though I'm open to modifying those

    • \>4 core CPU
    • 16GB RAM (Most laptops still come with 8GB. Is that ok for current year multitasking on Windows?)
    • \>480GB storage (I'll have to check her current usage with her, maybe 256GB is fine?)
    • 2x USB-A ports
    • USB-C charging
    • HDMI/DP Port
    • internal GPU only (the games run okish on the old laptop already, so anything newer should also be better)

    Some options

    These are some options I found. I'd like to hear some thoughts/opinions on those. (links are to the UK site for english language, for prices I'm looking at the german site variant)

    Thoughts, comments, experiences?
