Brazilian here. The situation is much more complex than “Brasil is destroying the amazon”. We suffer from political instability, and the big foreign oil companies lust after our resources with enough power to lobby our politicians and manipulate thepublic. A notable case was in the early 2000s, when pro-environment protests led to petrobras abdicating from exploring some recently discovered sources, only for shell to come and explore it soon after, so the environmental damage was done anyway, and we lost our sovereignty over it. Allowing for petrobras to explore it can allow for some degree of environmental control and avoid falling into the same trap. But since things are always more complicated the more we look into it, petrobras isn’t fully state-owned, and suffers market pressure from several actors, both national and foreign.

Anyway, I don’t agree with the exploration in the amazon, but I wanted to show that things are way more complicated than the international media make it look.

So we’re responsible for netflix not meeting their profit target? I feel honored.

Your computer very likely doesn’t need a special distro for low end devices yet. A common distro like linux mint will do fine, and that’s probably the best choice if you’re new to linux.

Edit: if you only want to host stuff on it, and nothing else, maybe that yunohost people recommended can be a better choice

Hmm a system that stored government documents caught fire and they have no backups? Hmm, this carries the same energy of registry offices catching fire “spontaneously” in the past.

I see you already got the answers you need, so I just came to welcome you to the linux community, and wish you good luck.

In the beginning, it will be a bit hard, because changing things we’re used to is always hard, but give it some time, and you get the long-term benefits, which, in my opinion, are very worth it. Among a few things, you will experience no arbitrary interruptions to your device usage, will have lower hardware requirements, your devices will last longer, will have to deal with much less bullshit, and will even have more free time (unless you become one who likes to spend time tinkering with the system lol)

Congrats!

What about creating an user account only for games and not in the sudoers file? Would that be a reasonable way to protect your main user account?

I can’t speak for the whole country, but at least in my city, it’s notable how bolsonarism has been losing energy. I know people who were strong supporters who are not caring for him anymore and less and less people are talking about him in public places. I believe today’s news will deliver another strong blow against this collective madness, and the slow improvement in the economy since last elections will bring more people back to supporting the left parties, at least the worker’s party.
