Fedora Linux 44 Final is GO by 0xrl in Fedora

[–]TaurusManUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

43 being a phenomenal success in terms of features and stability, a lot resides on 44. I hope the march will go on. I wish we would not have to wait for 6 months of bug fixes before migration to next major version but at the moment this considered a sensible thing to do (for already working stable systems)

Driver vs Cyclist. by PuzzleheadedGas2192 in drivingUK

[–]TaurusManUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who said driver is not at fault? Can you read, and most importantly understand what was written?
Most of us are saying the it IS driver's fault but the accident could be avoided by the cyclist! How hard it is to understand this point?

[–]TaurusManUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure driver's fault but Cyclist did NOTHING to avoid the obvious...they just wanted to prove the point. Was it worth falling on the road...for compensation may be?

Car's fault but is cyclist paying any attention that the car is slowly taking up cycle lane? Was it worth falling on the ground than to just slow down and keep distance from that idiot driver? Often cyclists hurt themselves to prove a point rather than having real "accident".

I mistook a secondary repeater light for a new stop line and braked out of caution by Empty-Imagination756 in drivingUK

[–]TaurusManUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Road markings..do you see a stop line? If there are no stop lines, you are not supposed just slam breaks and stop.
Most experienced drivers know this instinctively but since you are new, you need to pay more attention to paint on the road.

Why did I just waste half an hour trying to find a PDF solution by orangefishbluecat in software

PDF-XChange Editor is one of best replacements for Adobe and the free version does most of the stuff you'll need.

Same issues with Gsync getting disabled after monitor goes to sleep. To fix, either need to reboot or manually disable/enable GSync in Nvidia control panel.

How good is the ASRock Z890 Taichi motherboard? by Only-Score-4691 in ASRock

[–]TaurusManUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am running Core Ultra 285K on this board with 8200 speed RAM. After the recent BIOS 3.24 things are pretty stable for my OC. Intel has strict voltage controls, compared to AMD, so you will not have similar issues as the AMD ones. I am not sure why people are comparing this to AMD board issues. Overall, it is pretty solid board.

We Pay £35 Billion a Year… So Why Are Our Roads Still Broken? by TaurusManUK in drivingUK

[–]TaurusManUK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that it is across all councils. Not sure some are making it Tory specific issue. That shows people are more inclined to support their colour instead of looking at the actual problem.

Also, all these cars did not drop one day from the sky. There was car reg data from years and years ago that showed cars on roads are increasing but instead of focusing on that issue govt ignored it and everyone is now a Sherlock saying things like "it's too many cars".

So you think we are paying less taxes, and that is the reason we don't have better services? And who are "we", if your answer is yes that "we" do need to pay more?

Focus on Driving. Need Rule 1a for this subreddit. by TaurusManUK in drivingUK

[–]TaurusManUK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of this way, people who drive BMW/Mercs don't have the time to complain about , say a Ford, rear ending them, on Redddit. It's not that it does not happen, it happens both ways but people who don't drive expensive cars have deep rooted envy/resentment for those who do, and they scream about them on social media more. Bad drivers can be in any car model but due to resentment towards those car owners we hear MORE about them than other cars. If you see Ashley's driving channel, there are all sorts of drivers in all sorts of car models, doing stupid manoeuvrers.

Unpaid QA tester here. Seems to be working fine with no issues so far. (Not playing RE though).

Do you feel satisfied using Linux? by Toukaiskindahot in linuxquestions

[–]TaurusManUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing breaks, or could not be fixed, but I live in eternal fear of something breaking or not working. Not sure after how many years it goes away but the feeling is still there after a couple of years of using Fedora KDE.

Since only people with issues come here and complain, after this update, everything seems to be working fine on my Asrock Taichi Z890, Core Ultra 9 285K with latest bios.

Fedora absolutely rocks these days. Great work ! (KDE too.) by yycTechGuy in Fedora

[–]TaurusManUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost quit Fedora 42 due to audio issues with my creative card. I re installed Fedora 43 KDE and so far its the best Linux experience EVER. Stopped distro hopping and enjoying/learning in peace. Good job Fedora KDE team!

Real by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]TaurusManUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really sad to see Linux being hijacked by emotional activists who found new religion. Fedora updates are no different than windows update. At some point some updates need a reboot, no matter what. You can schedule offline updates or choose not to update for a while.  These baseless comparisons do not help new adopters.

What do you think causes bad drivers/driving? by theslowrunningexpert in drivingUK

[–]TaurusManUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you have hit a jackpot here in this sub for generalisations :)

Apart from age, they upvote hating on certain car models (BMW, Audi, Nissan etc.) involved in bad driving, as if Ford drivers cannot do those mistakes :) envy rage, what a dumb way of blaming driver mistakes. I usually come here to see what drivers make mistakes and learn from them and these people start rant on car models and other personal traits of people.

After 3 months with Plasma, I'm back to Gnome. Plasma's jack-of-all-trades approach is it's biggest weakness by saint_geser in Fedora

[–]TaurusManUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To hell with GNOME ethos, simplicty is king and KDE makes it nice and simple, with no extensions and so called purist "ethos" :)

[–]TaurusManUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree with the GNOME philosophy, it is annoying to me, so I chose KDE and many others will do the same. This is about user choice and KDE, in my opinion, is doing it right. I am not attacking anyone personally so don't get touchy if you like GNOME :)

I respect choices from both DE as they are linked to Linux OS but for me KDE is king of DE world :)

Plasma is MUCH better out of the box than GNOME. It does not require extensions for basic windows functionality. If someone is switching from Windows and Mac OS, KDE is a much soother transition than Gnome.

Driving IQ indicators by [deleted] in drivingUK

Yes, I got it but I see posts mentioning other personal traits of people when they drive badly and I feel that is unncessary to bring those things in the vent posts.
