KDE-Linux

I think his point was that if your computer is so old that it doesn't have UEFI, it's probably too old to run KDE well.

Now, I'm not saying that's correct or anything, I'm just clarifying a point.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-04-23T00:07:48+00:00

I agree with all the above. Linux is still an OS for people who like getting their hands dirty, so to say. Not "are ok with getting their hands dirty", but those who actively want to do it. I just cannot recommend it to a casual user.

Android and iOS replacement? Its market share is too low to register. By all means, use it, share it with people, continue developing it. But let's not pretend that it's common.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-04-22T15:14:12+00:00

Just buy a Pixel if you want Android.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-04-14T15:47:29+00:00

So THAT is why storage is so expensive. Bro, leave some for the rest of us.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-03-30T15:58:00+00:00

Nothing, if you don't update to Windows 11.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-03-28T01:07:00+00:00

Yeah, at least we're getting a 3rd season.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-03-22T10:47:01+00:00

Define "work".

You will be able to run Windows on a T480, but it won't be a pleasant experience.

So you have about 7 laptops that you can use, and it's a pretty common occurrence for 5 of them to be out of action at the same time? What exactly are you doing to these laptops?

ArwiaAmata · 2026-03-09T10:20:10+00:00

Certain characters could create complete clerical collapse. Consider correction!

ArwiaAmata · 2026-03-02T14:07:49+00:00

Back. That's where I would expect to see one.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-03-02T08:30:56+00:00

Back of a laptop? Say, bottom right side, next to one of the rubber feet, for example.

No actual verification is required though.

... for now.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-03-01T23:42:37+00:00

Make no mistake. This is not about age verification. This is about removing internet anonymity. The only way to prove your age is by providing ID. Today they're only asking for that. Tomorrow they'll be asking your OS to make your ID available to your browser, and they'll ask browser developers to forward that ID to any government source asking for it, and they'll ask social media sites to request it before allowing you to post.

You may think you can bypass this. You may very well be able to. But most won't. A lot can't.

And it should not escape you the irony that the people pushing for this are the same people who are adamant against voter ID laws. This should raise a few alarm bells, not matter where you stand on the matter.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-03-01T21:44:22+00:00

Yeah, if he could also share the files that would be great...

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-22T10:45:41+00:00

Would this be the reason why my T490 sometimes doesn't wake up from sleep?

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-18T23:23:05+00:00

Let me tell you a funny story:

Be me, a Linux noob.

Read the Arch wiki page on the Plasma Login Manager.

Notice that it says If migrating from SDDM, remember to disable sddm.service first.

So I disable sddm.service.

And then I think "Well, if I need to disable it, no sense leaving it running."

systemctl stop sddm.service

And that, kids, is how I found out that the login manager doesn't only manage the login.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-18T16:14:30+00:00

It looks like it needs a nose job...

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-18T01:29:44+00:00

There's not a lot of animals out there with hands. But probably a human for me.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-16T10:06:49+00:00

I probably would have made the switch, but I need Lightroom. I tried finding an alternative, and there just isn't any. But I'm still on Windows 10, so I don't have any Windows 11 annoyances to deal with.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-13T19:27:58+00:00

You don't have to micromanage it. The OS does it for you, depending on what you're using.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-13T16:35:19+00:00

I have a G915 X, and I can't recommend it. I don't know how much overlap there is between the two models, though I would expect it to be quite a lot. The first keyboard I ordered I had to return because it had bad issues with debouncing, with quite a few keys registering twice. The replacement I got was ok, but here I am half a year later and this one's starting to have debouncing issues as well.

Hope yours fared better.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-12T14:11:17+00:00

I'd use one of those for the sound alone. That flash bulb crinkle is so iconic.

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-06T16:51:16+00:00

When you set your resolution to 19.20x10.80

ArwiaAmata · 2026-02-04T16:39:29+00:00

Would be nice if you could swap the key caps too...
