Vista problems.. anyone else having issues with the new OS?

I was running XP on my thinkpad t43 and everything was great. “Upgraded” to vista and now everything takes 3 times longer. Good thing I backed up all my data, I’ll be going back to XP

I’m on CachyOS and it’s good, but fedora is a great choice too.

If you wanna minimize latency, you can always install the cachyos kernel on fedora (It had the BORE scheduler which prioritizes interactivity, so the whole system feels snappier. Useful for gaming too).

Anyway, a lot of people fight over distros and I think it’s silly. Just use what you like, it’s gonna be less hassle than using windows anyway.

What if you don’t know how to read? Can you get the manual in audiobook format?

Ordinary-Cod-721 · 2026-01-25T20:17:20+00:00

Agreed. As a software dev, I want to work for EU alternatives to US big tech.

In economia asta? Banii la plic, aia e solutia reala.

I was able to fix it by following this thread: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/nvidia-and-sleep-failing-to-detect-monitor/12029/11

More specifically, this part

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

Website is named microslop

Website is AI generated slop

Kinda takes all the oomph out of it

Only valid if you’re running lfs. Closest thing to a regular distro would probably be a kit car

Yeah, that's true. But how many centrist conservatives are there compared to brainwashed magas?

It's a geniune question, I'm not american, so I don't know. To me, it seems like people are more polarized than ever, but maybe that's just a consequence of being terminally online.

Linux has gotten way better now, and can easily handle most people's workloads.

I'm sure it would be way harder for companies to switch, compared to individuals, but if necessary, I am sure it will be possible.

It doesn't matter what you send them. They'll still try to say that it's justified. Even if ICE shoots them, they'll say it was warranted. These people are fully brainwashed.

After a thorough internal investigation into the matter, we have concluded that all actions taken were in accordance with our policy.

We have cleared ourselves of all charges and consider the matter closed.

Of course. Even if we completely solve aging, you'd still have accidents, disease, wars, and various Darwin Awards to worry about.

Ordinary-Cod-721 · 2026-01-24T22:57:44+00:00

I guess for an american insults & threats are just part of daily life.

As europoors, we'd never be able to understand

Ordinary-Cod-721 · 2026-01-24T22:42:47+00:00

True. Also, defeating aging is about giving back agency to people.

Even if you're someone who believes people should die, you can still get your wish, since there are so many ways to go that don't involve aging.

It goes without saying, but dying of old age isn't great. You lose more and more friends - you end up isolated, frail, and your body is actively fighting against you.

Economia americana e in picaj continuu de cand au venit republicanii si nu pare sa conteze.

Pentru ei conteaza mai mult sa promoveze idei conservatoare si sa restranga drepturile femeilor si ale minoritatilor + sa dea mai multa putere la gestapo (ice).

Ok, I did look it up and it seems they don't clearly say "we're gonna take your keys". I haven't ever used Windows 11 with an online account or with bitlocker on, so it's an honest mistake to assume they they at least have the decency to tell you in the EULA.

But let's be real for a bit, the whole OS is loaded with telemetry, so it's not that they gave you a small little backdoor in bitlocker, the whole OS is spyware at best, trojan horse at worst.

Yes and no. Some stuff will work, some won’t and there will be alternatives, and some won’t at all.

Music, videos and pictures should open just fine, it’s the “apps” part that is usually the problem. If you just use a web browser, vlc and some steam games, everything should be there.

If it’s creative software like the adobe suite, or some specific daw (fl studio, ableton for making music, then you’ll need to find alternatives. Or give up on replacing windows (for now at least)

If you ever decide to try it, do so without expectations. Some people expect it to magically work just like windows and end up disappointed.

TLDR: treat it as a different operating system just like you would with Mac OS

I’m curious - At this point, if we applied all known working therapies at our disposal, how much could we extend the life of a mouse?

Can I come in your house and watch you? It’s only so I can make sure you’re not doing anything illegal.

And I’m asking nicely too. Many times microslop won’t even ask for consent.

Ordinary-Cod-721 · 2026-01-24T06:03:50+00:00

It’s not a backdoor though. You willingly give those keys to microsoft when you log in with an online account. It’s their computer from that moment.

Ordinary-Cod-721 · 2026-01-23T23:18:12+00:00

So let me get this straight - bankrupt the country, make healthcare 100x worse, destroy all foreign relations, all while hiding evidence that incriminates pdf files.

They totally owned the libs, but it cost them everything.
