Nice! Good luck!

Ubuntu should work with either, but I'd recommend UEFI mode. The example in this video was UEFI.

Yes, power profile daemon modes are in the upper-right menu on Ubuntu, and also in the Power page of the Settings app. Balanced mode is the default.

Go to Format -> Page Style..., or right-click the page and select the Page Style... option. In that dialog, select the "Page" tab if it's not already selected. The orientation & margin options are in that tab.

I haven't personally used it. I think it's a semi-reasonable business model that's similar to how Red Hat operates RHEL in some ways. On the other hand, I think e.g. kernel live patching is something that's mostly useful for servers and not entirely relevant for desktop/laptop usage, and I think the fact that they withhold _security_ updates from non-subscribers (after doing the work of preparing the updates) is bad optics for Canonical. As a maintainer of Pop!_OS (at my day job, which is not affiliated with this channel), I will say the level to which Canonical tied Ubuntu Pro services and advertising into the Ubuntu metapackages and basic packages such as apt has been extremely annoying at times. Pop!_OS has ended up having to do a lot of whack-a-mole work trying to suppress advertisements for services that don't work on Pop!_OS anyway. However, the implementation makes sense from their perspective, and dealing with that sort of thing comes with the territory of being a derivative distribution. Reading the current terms of service for the personal (free for 5 machines) Ubuntu Pro subscription, I don't see anything that suggests it's not allowed to be used for commercial usage-- only that it's limited to 5 machines (per legal entity) and that it's provided as-is/with no warranty. So if you're actually daily driving Ubuntu, I'd see no reason not to sign up for the personal account and see if you notice any of the features. (I remember having an Ubuntu One account that I signed into on my Ubuntu installs back when that was an actual service; it was obviously a different type of service, but I had no problem creating an account with Canonical.)

For an issue like that, you're definitely going to want to include what specific model of laptop you have when you ask questions about it. The first troubleshooting step I'd take is to boot the system, run "sudo journalctl -f" in a terminal, then see if relevant-looking output shows up at the moment when the touchpad stops working.

Yeah, Ubuntu 24.04 ships Python 3.12.3 (while 22.04 ships Python 3.10.6, as you said). A minor version bump like that doesn't seem like it should be a huge deal, but then again, I'm not primarily a Python developer. I will say that staying on an older OS version just for the Python version it ships seems a little overkill and certainly unsustainable over the long term. If you really need to stick with one specific version of Python, you might eventually want to look into solutions like Docker/Podman containers or at least Distrobox to let you run Python 3.10 in an Ubuntu 22.04 environment from a newer OS version (or any other OS entirely).

The Composr community (including the devs) are really nice & helpful, so definitely post on their forums if you try it out and need help figuring anything out! Also, my usage of Composr is semi-advanced. You can basically just start with the WYSIWYG capabilities. If you do that, then being able to drop down to templating to tweak things is just a huge bonus.

I'd recommend using a USB

I've thought this video was overly verbose since before I posted it, so I'm glad to hear it was useful to at least someone. All of those points are why I've always tended to make longer videos than other channels.

@@NerdOnTheStreet I really appreciate the detail. It could be that a major portion of your audience are novices who just want good sound quality at a decent price. You might want to include that in your written intro. It would have helped me know I was definitely in the right place when I discovered your video so I'd know that the time I spent watching was going to be very well spent. Also, maybe add in your written intro that after testing these speakers for a couple weeks that you really appreciated them and they've turned out to be an excellent choice, and that you go into detail in your video. So please watch to learn more.... (or something like that)

Brave Search uses an independent scraper/database. It hasn't made any calls to Bing since April 2023. DuckDuckGo does rely on Bing, so you have to consider how they anonymize it and what data & value is important to you.

I ordered it on May 9th and received it on May 13th, so five days (three of which were business days).

Yes, this video demonstrated a clean install that would wipe Windows. I've just published a newer video showing the same process for Ubuntu 24.04: ruclips.net/video/WiW4KN2rNZY/видео.html

Not sure which version you're referring to. Referencing the version history on Wikipedia, Version 9 was the first browser on Windows, Linux, and BSD to pass the Acid2 standards test. Speed Dial was introduced in 9.2, and I recall that being an iconic Opera feature for a while. Version 11 introduced extension support, tab stacking, and mouse gestures (and support to pass the Acid3 standards test). Version 12 was the last one to use Presto instead of Blink (and you might consider it the last one that was "real Opera," considering both the engine change and the many features dropped by the Blink version).
