I refuse to pay to view papers. Knowledge should be free to anyone who wants it.

I’m on Debian. I just apt install handbrake and it worked. If it was a dependency, it was automatically installed.

Maybe don’t waste your money on organic food.

I might try to sell it to a coworker for cash.

I looked into it when people were talking about Ted Cruz being born in Canada. His mother is a US citizen, so he’s actually a birthright citizen.

I’ve got a $25 Amazon gift card sitting around that I don’t know what to do with. My mother-in-law gave it to me for Xmas, and I don’t shop on Amazon.

Handbrake works.

If the father is a citizen, the mother is not, and the baby is born outside the US, citizenship does not transfer from father to child.

If the status of the parents is reversed, citizenship does transfer to the child.

Yes, I’m just saying that the baby of a US woman would not be a stateless person if born in a country that doesn’t have it.

US citizenship comes from the mother, if born abroad. The baby would automatically be a US citizen, possibly have dual citizenship.

Glad to help. I’m highly suspicious of any corporation backed distributions.

I don’t have them. I have a facebook that I check every few weeks to make sure none of my family members have died, but that’s about it.

 

I’m looking for a distro that will be able to get the most out of my graphics on an MSI Katana laptop.

Right now I have Debian Bookworm running the Nvidia binary driver, and the graphics lags a bit compared to when this laptop had Windows 11 on it.

I’m playing Final Fantasy XIV, and doing web browsing on it.

I’d like to stay with something Debian based and running Gnome. Ubuntu is not ideal because I have trust issues with Canonical since the Amazon ad debacle back in the late 00s.

Can y’all give suggestions for a distribution that might work better, or some tweaks that might optimize the performance on Debian?

Should I just wait for Trixie and see if that give better performance?

I’m just spitballing for ideas here. Thanks in advance for any advice.
