Are there any prince movies for kids?

This is far from a stupid question. I have a girl and a boy and it's surprisingly difficult to find movies/books/ shows with positive male role models. A lot of times they are presented as evil or incompetent as well. I try to find more balanced things for them to watch together.

As far as Disney fare there are Lucca and Tangled. Lucca is meh but Tangled is really funny and the kids like it, and it arguably has two protagonists with one of them being male. Peter pan is fun but definitely not cool in different ways, especially to native Americans.

There's a lot more than Disney though. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen might be a bit scary depending on their age but they both love it. As others mentioned The Dragon Prince is pretty great. If you haven't yet, you should try The Sound of Music, you'd be surprised how much they get into it.

I'll try to think of more examples but thanks for posting this, I think it's an important conversation to have

Fanless linux laptop

I use asahi on a MacBook air, and love it. The battery life on sleep mode has been improving but it's nowhere near the voodoo Apple does to MacOs. I recently installed Linux on my Asus machine and found the process and community to be really helpful, so maybe that's an option for you. Check out https://asus-linux.org/

Movies too dark in HDR?

Dumb question, but are you using a monitor that supports HDR? And is set to display in HDR?

I'm not sure how KDE handles HDR but if you're looking at the SDR and HDR side by side, one of them is either displaying incorrectly or being converted on the fly to display in the other dynamic range.

Fabricated Conversations

My wife does this all the time. Multitasking on her phone, talking to multiple people at once, she'll often say something to me with zero context. She had the first part of the conversation in her head. Sometimes she will swear she told me something that she definitely hasn't as well.

Red Hat / Fedora drama?

I'm running the Asahi Fedora remix for personal use in multiple Mac workstations because it's what the Asahi folks are recommending/supporting right now, and I'm not too bothered. I figured if there are changes impacting Fedora later, Asahi will go back to Arch (which I actually really liked) .

At work I manage somewhere between 20-40 servers depending on workload, almost all running commercial software. More than 50% were running Centos, which is what the software manufacturers supported, when the RH announcement was made.

While I actually understand their reasoning and would happily move to a model where there's a reasonable cost for those licenses, the way they went about it was way too fast and careless, with huge impact to their potential customers. It ironically undermined my trust on them as a company, and I wouldn't want to bet my job on anything that's downstream from or owned by RH right now.

TLDR; Fine with Fedora as a daily driver, wouldn't touch it for work.
