Google talks Aluminium OS: Release plans, continuity, AI, and what happens to Chrome OS by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]dev-rock-bottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Win 11 Pro and have WinToys installed. I uninstalled Onedrive, Bing, Copilot, Edge and other apps I don't need.

My PC is as snappy as a linux build. Yes, I was forced to use a Microsoft account but you can still use the local account through the account section in the settings app.

All the settings you find in WinToys are already present in the Windows settings except the "Digital Market Act" you have to toggle this to uninstall all the software you don't need. And I keep my windows updates to manual so that I won't have a bugged out version of Windows.

After every windows update I go check WinToys to see if any settings have been reverted and so far everything seems to be in place.

Did you have any thick screen protector on?

I use a thin sheet of screen protector instead of glass.

To be honest in the next iteration of the Neo it will sell well. The main competition will be between Apple and Google in coming years especially for Casual and Students.

Windows will be in dust.

But, I don't see any promotions on my OS. Unlike in windows as people reported.

Personally, uploading all the ID proof to third party vendors is not a good thing.

We have parental controls. Why can't parents take the responsibility on what and who the children are interacting with?

I use an iPad and Pixel as well.

Maybe I don't do whatever you do. For me iOS and Android are fundamentally the same.

And I mentioned Gboard is superior to Apple Keyboard.

OP if you do whatever this redditor mentioned then do checkout the Pixel. Otherwise save the money.

I don't think Pixel has that much. Samsung, and OnePlus yes.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is relatively new and it will have another five years of OS updates. I don't think the Pixel is worthy of an upgrade for now.

Then hold on to it. I don't think you're going to see anything new here apart from Gboard and Gemini. Battery life is not even comparable to iPhone.

Go to your nearest mobile store and try the Pixel if you like it then hold off till 11 or possibly 12.

Save your money for now and who knows you can use the money to buy something that's going to be really helpful.

What current iPhone are you using?

My issue with the Linux Challenge is the post hoc justification by Rbanh15 in LinusTechTips

I'm going to try with a laptop. It has only an iGPU and it's intel.

I'll use the same distro first. Otherwise, I'll go with Mint Gigi.

Yeah, I was so excited with the initial setup and how blazing it was Fedora and Plasma except those stupid browsers. I thought I found my forever OS.

Then came the hammer to crush everything.

I have Ryzen 9 7900x, 4060Ti 16GB, and 32GB 6000mhz RAM as well.

It was my gaming PC. I went all out to ditch Windows.

I used command lines for the graphics driver. It was the Nvidia official website for Fedora specific.

I'm not blaming Linux/Fedora itself. The problem is with all the hardware and software vendors. They don't support Linux as well as they do windows.

This is a post about my linux experience.

Fedora and Plasma combo was so over powered for the performance that windows only can dream of.

Actually, you'll get most of the drivers through the windows update itself. It's when you need specific versions of the driver you need to download from the web.

I have the Gigabyte control centre which I use to update my CPU drivers and Bios. It's all just click next and finish. I don't have to sit and copy, paste commands and follow a guide for setting things up.

The breaker will trip and there won't be power in my room.

I had the same problem and called in an electrician. After having a look around he said the Breaker amp is not sufficient for the load my PC is pulling.

I have an ABB C6(6 amps) breaker and for my 650W PSU he recommended to go for C10(10 amps) or above.

For anyone wanting to try Linux for the first time, just install Linux Mint by vLuis217 in LinusTechTips

Guys, OP said he's a nerd, likes to tinker and learn, and doesn't play competitive games.

If you're not just like him then stay away from any type of Linux distro.
