  • Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?

    Jump

  • Tried Manjaro and Opensuse for a presentation machine lately: issues over issues, that just shouldn't exist on new installation (problems with USB disks, input). Came back to Debian asap because Debian, weirdly, "just works (tm) now.

  • Is Linux As Good As We Think It Is?

    Jump

  • Actually, if Linux/BSD/... doesn't work the way I want it to, I can always tweak it. Win or Mac? Tough luck. So Linux's usability is always there, whereas the proprietary OS's quickly hits a very hard, annoying wall.

  • Dev boots a PC from Google Drive cloud storage — a storage-less laptop becomes a truly cloud-native computer

  • Soo, booting your computer from someone else's computer?

    I mean we've had thin clients and PXE for ages?

  • DDG has also gotten much worse since the introduction of AI features.

  • Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising

  • It used to be somewhat better: Corel Linux and Creative apps existed...

  • Thank you for the info! Otherwise I would have missed the deal. The affinity suite is the best thing since Photoshop 5.0

  • I'm still consulting my venerable encyclopaedia britannica dvd until this day. It works great under wine and actually does not work under a current version of windows anymore.

  • Your first distribution

  • I had the Mandrake Powerpack that came with two books. I basically memorized the entire console handbook while on the loo...

  • Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?

    Jump

  • Gretlat that they're making progress! aTM windows still flicker or fail to show content. I'd love to use it in production later this year maybe ...

  • I am dependent on a couple of programs I run via wine - and wine still isn't directly compatible with wayland and buggy with xwayland...

  • Rant: My recent experience of trying to install windows for gaming and why I'm really thankful for Linux

    Jump

  • It's actually worse! Last jan Microsoft bricked the entire fleet of laptops in my company with a borked generic driver update. It overwrote the sd reader's vendor driver blocking all storage access from working whatsoever. From one week to another more or less all devices refused to boot. They basically killed our entire company for half a week, until IT could walk people through efi-disabling the sd reader in every laptop (recent industrial models mind you) just because windows had pulled in the wrong driver. So... no - it's not great at all with automatic driver installation in windows ...

  • How on earth can people stand using Windows full time? Everything I'm on a Microsoft product I feel claustrophobic!

  • Edit : IT IS "FIXED" BY THE NEW UPDATES. Thank You Devs ❤️

  • Isn't it a feature when Windows is gone?! 🤷😵‍💫

  • The most annoying thing for me was the huge internet data usage by snap updates but it is better now.

    Jump

  • It's more of a double edged sword: snaps were great imho when they replaced the mess of old we had going on with thirty or so incompatible ppas.

    But why force snaps for central stuff like FF/Chromium and soon Thunderbird?

    I just upgraded an old PC and reinstalling Ubuntu meant that all my configs of these apps and then some broke. Snap is using incompatible storage for dotfiles and configurations. And more often than not central Desktop functions like the cursors (atm no hand cursor in FF for me!), sound and common extensions don't work ootb. For the odd piece of speciality sw I'd had to go hunting for before that's alright. But not for everyday stuff

    Come on canonical, don't enshittify you great distribution...

  • Lest ihr auch nur noch blabla Migration blabla Ausländer blablabla?

  • Genau so ist es! Und was brauchen wir für eine funktionierende Infrastruktur? Genau: Arbeitskräfte! Und woher bekommen wir die? In meiner Branche gehen in den kommenden zehn Jahren 3x mehr Menschen in den Ruhestand als demografisch nachkommen. Ohne Einwanderung sind wir doch am ****$&#@

  • Apple considered switching to DuckDuckGo from Google for Safari - Bloomberg News

    Jump

  • For me the direct opposite is true. About two years ago Google stopped giving me any accurate results, feeding me a bunch of semi-related garbage instead. DuckDuckGo feels like the Google of old: results that actually (literally) contain the terms of the query and not much else. I'd hate using the internet without it.

  • Hydrogen locomotive

    Jump

  • Honestly all this feels like the railway's Dieselization 100yrs ago. When the end of steam powered engines was drawing near, coal hauling railroads and Baldwin Locomotive in the U.S. tried all kinds of whacky and hilariously inefficient engine designs, just to keep the ol' ways alive... none of these worked out - everyone who stuck to it lost hugely.
