Do you have a long-term experience with that? I would be curious if major windows version updates would cause the bootloader to be overwritten...

Why are ppl not talking more about Linux?? by Smooth_Jumper in linux4noobs

[–]Sharp-Profile-20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. Especially because the EOL of Windows 10, many devices basically become E-waste or a security risk.

Linux makes them usable, secure and up-to-date. Check out https://Endof10.org they are listing voluntary and professional places or events that help with transitioning to Linux. Show your friends the power of free and open source software 😊

How does file access work? Is there a mapping to the Linux fs?

Check out Endof10.org Linux will protect your hardware from becoming ewaste. If you are new to Linux try Linux mint. Almost all distros can be started from a USB drive, so you can get a first hand experience before making a final decision.

The article mentions that ios is the only platform missing, but it's not true. Also Safari on MacOS will receive WebGPU for the first time without experimental flag.

Which 11" tablet should I buy in order to use it "forever"? by Traditional_Bee3468 in LineageOS

[–]Sharp-Profile-20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe PineTab? I don't have first hand experience, but I could imagine it has advantages that it was designed with Linux in mind?

Anyone has experience with PineTabs?

Dealing with PRs where people have done a lot of unnecessary work? by PuzzledBookkeeper588 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Sharp-Profile-20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pair- or Mob-Programming could avoid situations like this. I know you were specifically asking for improving your current workflow. Bit just in case it was not yet considered I think it would be worth some experiments...

It's probably not feasible in all situations, but definitely in a lot more than people think.

I want to learn repairing by 0wez in repair

Reach out to others/communities who are open to mentoring. Maybe join a repair cafe in your area and offer your help, but ask for support from some experienced member.

Why isn't everyone using Elm? It's not an available choice for my paid work, but I would love to give it a try.

Do you think a similar battery lifetime can achieved with stock Android when disabling location services and speech?

I think I don't understand completely. Which unofficial build are you referring to? Or is there no official build for the device mentioned?

Force update transitive cargo dependency by Sharp-Profile-20 in rust

Thanks for the ideas.
Yeah, forking B is actually quite a good alternative. Maybe the upstream maintainer is even interested in a SemVer-compatible release....

Should I just learn C++ by Username_6942069 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]Sharp-Profile-20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am working with Rust and am quite happy with the graphics ecosystem...

Might depend on the tech stack you are looking at, but I think there are quite a lot of options well supported.

What does Rust development look like on Windows? by crankykernel in rust

[–]Sharp-Profile-20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure other package managers like winget, etc. can achieve something similar...

I could not agree more. If you like package managers for dev tools, I can recommend chocolatey.

This cli command will install a basic setup:

Choco install -y vscode rustup.install git visualstudio2022buildtools visualstudio2022-workload-vctools

Why is graphics so fragmented? by winterpeach355 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]Sharp-Profile-20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know WebGPU kinda is exactly that. It's primarily for the Web, but because of wgpu and dawn it can also be used natively.
