It means they paid money or provided a service free of charge or with a significant rebate in exchange for advertisement. It’s probably no more than that.

You’re welcome! :)

Mint, or any other flavor of Ubuntu, don’t come with the third party driver installer GUI application. You have to read documentation and go through command line to install the correct driver.

Yes.

No I think they mean the Docker Desktop application. The commercial GUI to docker.

Ubuntu. It has great Nvidia driver support. Everything works practically out of the box.

Just an anecdote, I would LOVE for ffmpeg to have a GUI.

From what I understand, they are using something like a pixel with associated JS code on a website to ring up their respective apps on localhost on the device to share browsing history.

So if you’re using uBlock and Privacy Badger which block these things, I think you shold be ok, yes?

It’s been so long since I installed mine that I forget.

I remember there being an option to download and install additional drivers during the installation. Otherwise, it’s a very simple process. As you can see here:

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-24-04

On Ubuntu there’s literally an application for additional drivers. On Kubuntu, I think you have to used the command line because Canonical only prioritizes their Gnome desktop. Kubuntu is a community-driven flavour. However, once you know which driver is recommended, you can use the graĥical software installer to install it.

1. Ubuntu and derivatives. (I prefer Kubuntu, personally. It has even more support for things like HDR) I have a 3070 RTX and it’s working just fine in Kubuntu.

2. Good question! I would definitely back up the files first and reformat in EXT4 or BTRFS or whatever. Then when you install the games in Steam with the compatibility layer, you can specify where to install the games. Then check where saved games/profiles are located and possibly overwrite the files?

3. Yes. No doubt.

I dunno. Sounds like a repo-specific thing. OP is on Debian 12 and what I’m understanding is they’re also seeing this message for a third party repo.

Yeah the whole reason for packages being kept back is because they are rolling them out slowly to ensure that no major bugs affect the great majority of users of those packages.

You wouldn’t want your whole Ubuntu or Debian user base getting stuck with the same problem and having to roll back all at the same time. availa roll out certain packages slowly so only a small portion have to do it, and also save your reputation, and finally give the package maintainers to fix the problem.
