I would class myself as reasonably computer literate but have always used windows (since win95 so that dates me). I'm looking to get used to Linux and have stuck mint onto an old notebook to get used to the system.

We've been up and running for a couple of months now and I've got the basics going but I'm starting to collect questions on how to do this, best ways to achieve that etc, in times past there would probably be a good forum community I could start posting on to learn but I don't know where to go these days.

Where do you take your open questions to, to learn and improve.

My big computer is knackered. It's about 10 years old now and properly starting to chug on even the newer indy games I like. But with a 16 month old toddler in the house and a crunch on cost of living upgrading I have nothing to spare on a new computer especially how much components are costing these days.

    Disagree, sorry.

    Thorium is unproven in a commercial setting, molten salt reactors in general are plagued with technological difficulties for long term operations and are limited currently to just a few research reactors dotted about the globe.

    There's no denying that originally a lot of the early nuclear reactors chose uranium because of its ability to breed plutonium for nuclear weapons proliferation but nowadays that's not a factor in selection. What is a factor is proven, long-lasting designs that will reliably produce power without complex construction and expensive maintenance.

    Hello all, so something recently changed with the Google photos app on my pixel 6 and it's automatically uploaded all my photos filled the space out and is now complaining angrily that I've used all the space.

    I don't want to use Google backup, I have a OneDrive account and it backs up all my photos. The Google backup is redundant but now it's deprecated my photos app by filling it with pointless warning messages.
