Simple Answer: No

The moment you need to think about what distribution you need to choose from is where it’ll stop any (dumb)user. Most people want a simple process with very little thinking.

If you are interested in learning linux and willing to take the time to understand the entire process that comes with it then yes.

Check out Tranga as a direct replacement to Kaizoku.

Awesome, appreciate it.

I believe Tachiyomi was meant to download the manga and view it on Android?

Correct

I forgot what Komga was, is it a downloader?

Similar to something like plex, jellyfin, kavita, etc. Its basically a manga media server. Not a Downloader

For downloading, I ended up trying out “kaizoku,” which is unfortunately no longer maintained. Acts as a frontend for a service called “mangal,” which seems to no longer be maintained as well… Does the job for some websites at least.

The initial pitch will require ID to access porn but then it’ll branch out to any site that hosts NSFW content. Before you know it, every website you access will end up having your internet activities directly tied to you via your ID, and they can further use that data to train whatever models they got cookin up next.

Wish we could just implement some form of federal standards that are aimed towards protecting US citizens’ data instead of just banning a service like tiktok because “China bad”.

Try things out. Get an old pc with some old hard drives no one will want and get to it!

Just install whatever on it and start asking yourself what you want to do with it.

I started on Ubuntu Server and ended up on Unraid. Caused alot of problems along the way but in the end I learned alot to where I dont stress too much when stuff goes south.

Also, when you truly do invest into a proper server. Consider the drives you are buying are gonna die one day. It may take years to happen but it will happen!

For syncing to multiple devices, I would recommend syncthing. Was pretty easy to set up and haven’t had any issues.

No rush, appreciate it.

Friend got a bsod today and was able to get more dumpfiles.

Used blue screen view and they all essentially are caused by ntoskrnl.exe

Alright, next time I talk with him I’ll look into it. Appreciate it.

I can’t imagine Hamas being the sole reason behind this decision. Of course at face value it is but feels like they are taking this opportunity to do this for some other reason.

Terrible nonetheless but worried about what else is to happen due to this.

I sold phones for several years. ALOT of people have no idea how to do even the first step of what you said. The process was always sell, transfer, wipe, and turn in. Transfer would require a passcode many times while going through the process, and customers would often tell you it to make the process easier. From young to old, they all need help doing that “easiest” thing.

For now its x265. Though later on itll be av1.
