What it sounds like you want is only your home folder encrypted, where it decrypts seamlessly upon login. It sounds like you have encrypted OS root, which is more secure but necessarily requires a password before the system gets to the login screen.
Other than reinstalling your system, you do have the option of either making your decryption password shorter, and/or enabling auto-login after boot (if you're the computer's only user), so you'd only have to type one password instead of two.
it's an extension, right? i would assume it would go away if you uncheck this option in Firefox settings:
i've had this unchecked so i haven't seen it pop up in my use
Nice! What graphics card do you have? AMD generally works well out-of-the-box, but if you have NVidia you may need to install drivers
I'm not sure if it meets all your requirements, but Dolphin has a dual-panel mode if you press F3 and has lots of other configuration options as well
If the computer boots but you can't access a GUI, use Ctrl+Alt+F3 to open a console. From there you can use nano to edit the login manager configuration. If you had GNOME installed, your login manager is probably GDM, and its config should be at /etc/gdm/daemon.conf, according to the manual. If that is the case, it looks like you should erase the username under the entry "AutomaticLogin=".
If I understand correctly, the filesystem driver is contained within the kernel for all linux-native filesystems (Ext4, XFS, BtrFS, F2FS, etc.), just as drivers for computer components and devices are. But drivers to access NTFS (Windows) and HFS+ (Mac OS) drives are programs in userspace
can't link here due to rule 3
Is it just me or does it seem a bit out-of-touch to brag that last year's $1100 phone is still usable? You would sure hope it wasn't made obsolete that quickly
Debian. Huge repository, no bullshit, and basically any software for Linux is packaged/compatible with it.
AFAIK, the port on your router is irrelevant as the VPN bypasses it. I'm not familiar with ProtonVPN, but with PIA you can get a forwarded port in the VPN app and specify that port in your P2P application. I use that method for Soulseek, but my qBittorrent works correctly in both directions without doing anything special.
The market in smartphones should be expected to decline, and that's a good thing. People keeping old phones for longer = less e-waste, but they have to introduce a new, fragile gimmick for profits
I'm not familiar with exactly what you mean, does it not require a password to boot that way? I have full-disk encryption on my laptop but not with TPM, grub just prompts me for a password before the kernel boots
