It's not CentOS 3, it's CentOS with Linux kernel 3.10 (a 2014 kernel). This was supported in RHEL/CentOS through 2017.

Still very dated and a bad idea, of course. And even weirder that it's on a new machine. I've seen tons of stores using Win7 past it's EOL, but on older hardware.

Inter is great, I've been using it (TTF hinted) as my UI font for years and it renders very sharply. I'm on Debian and KDE Plasma

It's not made by Google though, it's this guy, Rasmus Andersson

I've always used XFS on spinning drives and F2FS on SSDs. No issues, they're very solid

Soulseek is good. It's a peer-to-peer sharing service, so you can just choose who to download from rather than waiting in a queue. You can find things in FLAC if you want it, or in various lossy qualities.

Were you watching 4K77 and 4K83 with Digital Noise Reduction? The movies are distributed in two versions, one with film grain and the other with DNR.

Maybe if the first number includes tanks of Russian manufacture in Ukrainian service

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

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
