So far there are issues, but about the same level of frustration as Gallium OS. I switched because the Fedora kernel is more up to date and probably more secure than the Gallium OS kernel. I may switch back because I am not liking Fedora and its software as well as the more familiar repositories and installation methods of Gallium OS. Chrome OS is still in there, and I should probably update it once in awhile.) T-Mobile sued after porting man's number to thieves who stole his cryptocurrency My carrier relies entirely on information which can be gotten from public sources. No separate PIN. What do you expect from a pay as you go third-tier company? How to play DVDs in Windows 10 for free VLC Player (the desktop app, not the UWP Windows Store App) does have this capability for most CDs and DVDs. Not much of anyone else will do this for free. How to fix broken USB install damaging your Linux dual boot I don't suppose anyone runs integrity checks (at least getting a hash output) before using USB installers anymore, do they?
