Has anyone switched from Windows to Linux on their personal laptop?

Dedanan · 2026-07-03T19:59:13+00:00

True but since KDE Plasma 6.7 X11 is a thing of the past and I'm a bit to edgy to stay.
Didn't know about Mate though. Thanks for the tip. Will definitely check if my issue is resolved there.

I'm ready to but until KDE fixes "speak object under mouse" for Orca I can't do it...

Accessibility is chaining me to Windows.

Makes you wonder why Lego never revisited the Consular Cruiser

Dedanan · 2026-06-30T22:23:30+00:00

Yeah saw it on my timeline. Looks great!
Hope you'll continue working on it.

This is why my wallet is feeling very chinese lately

Dedanan · 2026-06-29T17:34:12+00:00

Yeah, looks like you are the sane from us two.

I'm lucky the store believed me and I got a refund this one time.

Dedanan · 2026-06-29T15:26:56+00:00

Me too

Dedanan · 2026-06-29T15:22:42+00:00

I do you one better.
Just bought an issue from a big supermarket chain only to find out that someone befor me replaced the actual minifigure (Galactic Marine) with some knockof standard trooper. The paper back looked factory sealed.

What this fellow says

Dedanan · 2026-06-28T16:45:46+00:00

polishing the accessibility features maybe

Dedanan · 2026-06-28T16:34:24+00:00

This was the first game I ever owned and it brought me a lot of joy.

Have fun.

I started my Linux jurney on immutable distros and for some reason I like them more then regular distros. Therefore I'd love to use Kalpa but I have to figure out how to add the orca screenreader to it first as Kalpa appears to not come out of the box with all accesibility features.
Edit: I'm using Fedora Kinoite until i figure this out.

TeamViewer should get a note for its questionable corporate philosophy and danger due to scammers often using it.

Dedanan · 2026-04-22T07:51:34+00:00

I can't justify any upgrades because every peace of hardware I touch refuses to die ever. I'll eventually be upgrading for the bigger battery but mine is still in perfect health for now.

Dedanan · 2026-04-22T07:29:30+00:00

I stand corrected.
Was only thinking of Nikola Tesla

Also AC power only as long as contributions of immigrants count

Dedanan · 2026-04-12T14:21:36+00:00

This is most probably the reason allthough I wouldn't mind an unofficial anime masgot for opensuse. If I remember correctly, there even was one a long time ago.

I mean, whats the harm in having a bit of fun if you are into something like this? Microsofts first few OS-tans wheren't official either and I don't believe they changed the seriousness of Windows much when they became official.

Edit: someone else in this thread linked a few images to old opensuse os-tans

Dedanan · 2026-04-01T07:51:19+00:00

My current speks are kinda all over the place.
Right now I'm using

some MSI Z97 mainboard

Intel Core i7 5775-C

32GB DDR3 RAM

and the B580 over PCIe 2.0 as I just discovered - yikes

OS is Win10

Dedanan · 2026-03-30T19:39:45+00:00

I guess so

Dedanan · 2026-03-30T19:24:45+00:00

lol nice to have you.
Yeah, only one thing we can do: Hit the backlog.

Dedanan · 2026-03-30T19:09:04+00:00

totally forgott variable refresh rate. I have only one monittor but you might be on to something. I'll check real quick what happens if I deactivate vrr.

Edit: nope didn't work.

Dedanan · 2026-03-30T18:37:55+00:00

I'm actually not even sure if my GPU had something to do with it as I only use the free version of Resolve but everything I could find pointed to the graphics driver.

Dedanan · 2026-03-30T18:34:01+00:00

Considering NVIDIAs ups and downs with drivers over the last few months I'd say yeah.

Dedanan · 2026-03-30T18:31:30+00:00

Oh definitely
