  • What happens when you insert a SIM card? The operator receives: The IMEI of your phone. The SIM card number (ICCID). The Wi-Fi network name (if Wi-Fi Calling is enabled). The location (by towers). And yes, this permanently binds the IMEI to the SIM card in their database, especially in countries that require SIM registration. If the SIM card is registered to you, then: Any insertion into the device is logged. IMEI + number = you can track which device is being used and by whom. Banking Apps usually check: The presence of a SIM card. Sometimes - so that the SIM number matches the number specified in the banking system. The presence of active Internet (mobile or Wi-Fi). Something like that








  • Fedora Kinoite / Silverblue,Xubuntu / Linux Lite / Zorin OS Lite,KDE Neon / Kubuntu,Arch + KDE / Arch + Sway or Hyprland. Wacom / Synaptics / AES стилусы — как правило, распознаются ядром Linux. KDE — даёт профили для стилуса, нажатие, кнопки, чувствительность. Gnome (на Wayland) — распознаёт стилусы, но с меньшей настраиваемостью.



  • Ubuntu,Pop!_OS,Fedora,elementary OS. I would like to start with Ubuntu or Pop!_OS. These are the most popular and well-adapted distros, which are ideal for gaming, creativity and safe use. If Ubuntu is not to your liking because of Snap or telemetry, Pop!_OS can be a great alternative. But you can still download any distribution you want, you just need to look for it yourself











  • When you install Debian with encryption (usually LUKS — Linux Unified Key Setup), only the partition where Debian is installed is encrypted. Windows will remain on a separate partition and will not be touched. Debian encryption does not break Windows, provided that: The partitions for Windows and Debian are clearly separated. You do not change or delete the Windows partition. The bootloader (GRUB) is correctly configured and not damaged. Usually, Debian will install GRUB, which will recognize Windows and add it to the boot menu. If something goes wrong during the bootloader (GRUB) installation, Windows boot may temporarily break. But this can be fixed — you can restore the Windows bootloader using a bootable USB stick. It is always better to back up important data before installation. When installing Debian, choose manual disk partitioning to accurately specify the partitions. Use encryption only for the Linux partition, leaving the Windows partition alone. Save a backup copy of the boot partition (for example, EFI) or make a full backup.
