I made this account so I could use the mobile apps while waiting for Kbin’s API.

Unfortnetly, very little hardware comes with Linux preinstalled.

If you’re getting a prebuilt (which most people do) then drivers will be preinstalled.

Linux is a combination of the Linux kernel (some really low level software that tells the OS how to communicate with your hardware, not something most users should worry about) and software from GNU (some Linux users call it GNU/Linux for this reason). This is then used as the base for distros, which are basically just that plus a package manager (how you install apps) and usually a desktop environment and default apps as well.

Theoretically yes, you could create an operating system and name it Steve, but it wouldn’t be Linux unless it had the Linux kernel and GNU software.

Edit: as others have pointed out, yes, you can technically have linux distros without GNU, but GNU-based Linux distros are by far the most popular option, so you’re highly unlikely to find a distro without GNU unless you’re hunting for one.

Amend it to remove the second amendment. Yes, it is possible, the 18th amendment was removed by the 21st.

To be fair, Nvidia support on Linux has been historically quite poor, with users having to manually install drivers (something the average person shouldn’t have to think about). Though even that has gotten much better recently, with Debian now allowing forks to have proprietary drivers built in.

Well step one is to amend the constitution, it was written over 200 years ago when guns had to be manually reloaded after every shot.

Step two is to look at basically any country with low gun violence and copy what they’re doing.

But in that case, it would be a far better option to ban anyone from placing keyloggers on your computer and GPS trackers in your clothing, because that not only stops Steve from doing it, but also Steve’s cousin Alex, and anyone else who would want to do so.

You could use only one, but browsing lemmy through mastodon (and vice versa) isn’t a great experience, so its recommended to have an account on both.
