I need no dock. We Windows users as much as we hate it still prefer a SINGLE BAR on top or bottom 
I did try to put up with dock in KDE but nah. Even in GNOME I donāt use the Dash-to-dock extension anymore.
(I better not 
about Win because 5-6 days ago, my Garuda laptop display said a big F YOU to me and guess what Iām using to type this nowā¦ What went wrong? I suspect its the hinge.)

You know my family had a single laptop sony viao shared by us all it came with windows 8 stock. My father got some IT guy to install a pirated version of windows 10 on the machine around the time I was gearing up for college exams.
I donāt remember why but I was following some guide that made me boot into a windows powershell yeah not itās GUI environment but itās powershell kinda like how we can boot into a TTY it had a
X :>
prompt like this. I ran some commands there that were supposed to make the Administrator account visible and allow me to sign in as Administrator instead of the user account I had. Think of it like how we create user accounts on linux and have a root account that we canāt login in to. Yeah windows allows us to login to the system GUI as root right from the lock screen.
I did whatever I wanted and then reverted the changes so that the Administrator account was hidden from the lock screen again.
This whole process had a small side effect of sorts. Now I had a Administrator folder in the Users directory despite me reverting everything. I went ahead and deleted itā¦ permanently with shift+del. I am a big boi seat belts are for kids (yeah donāt learn from me I still have this habit and have been burnt several times including once where I deleted a 1TB family photo HDD with no backupsā¦ fun times 
). 
After deleting this folder I could no longer do any activities that required admin privileges. For example installing new apps would show the pop up for requesting admin privileges but the actual buttons to grant the permissions were missingā¦ Yeah all of this 3 days before my exams and this is during 2020 COVID lockdown so I need this only family laptop to work for me.
Yup I have had some really interesting moments in my life.

There was an other subreddit where they posted the same graph but someone had an explanation about what MAY be contributing to this figure in comments:
- You may know something called TATA Class Edge. My school had a projector with this loaded on it. Itās basically a A/V format for education. It has videos, games, MCQ quiz etc. Apparently they load Ubuntu on it these days. And they are present in many schools apparently. Well, the ones we had were Win 7 ones
- Then another reason was something the guy personally did. He said he helped three of his friends install Linux on their old machines and almost had a fourth one too
I cannot find the link to this subreddit tho 
SORRY NO NEWS HERE!

A post was merged into an existing topic: Linux & Tech news 
Android has already long disabled this protocolā¦ That was the whole reason why linux kernel maintainers decided to just have it in mainline kernel as well. Due to the security issues and āsince android is already doing it and no oneās affected that should mean itās all good right?ā

Quick question? The CPU is at 7%, but all the CPU readings showing 0.0ā¦ Am I bad at reading htop or?

You must have sorted it in ascending order.
Try sorting it in descending order; there will be an option.
Now that you mention it, I think i set it up badly. Top seems to give me accurate readings
