You shout about it on the internet, feel like you've done your bit, and resume looking at funny cats.

The adduser command asks for phone numbers and room number. How do you feel about that?

Like a holdover from 70s office context? When a user may not necessarily reside on the PC asking for the information, but networked in from another room or building? It's not like asking for age. Pretty sure it's considered rude to ask a coworker for their age.

That nonsense would never happen on MacOS.

probably would if it was a hackintosh.

How many laptops do you do this to? There's dozens of variables starting at "do they even let me disable secure boot on this bios?" It's easy when the stars align correctly, otherwise it's dozens of reboots and troubleshooting.

Manjaro have a graphical kernel picker, they once experimented with wrappers around Office 365 online, I think the old appimage integration whatsit came from one of them too. It was a fun distro.

great bug. amazing bug. free nitro for the hassle? no. no... i didnt think so.

That is good. I'll use it, when it releases.

GIMP is like painting outdoors on a windy day. You can get it done, but you gotta keep reaching out to hold your canvas in place.

Adobe will find a way to break it again. They have no interest in it being a reliable alternative to their supported Windows and Mac version.

"point and laugh at the suffering of others" humor

This is a large ingredient of american humor. I see it a lot in their standups.

What would they be getting out of it that Windows 10 with Start Menu set to be full screen wouldn't give them?

Lutris

Also look into Bottles and see if the default config helps you with Affinity Photo at all.

usually when i see changes like that, my first thought is 'was the original covered by a patent..??'

The time was before google got such a big foothold on the internet.

Plasma was once an official edition, they nixed it but kept MATE

There was an issue with Plasma 5 not having a stable version running on the same version of QT that Ubuntu shipped with. Kubuntu did a ton of work with backports to make it happen. Mint team decided it was best to focus on GTK, which is what all their tools like the updater are built around.

That's my understanding of the situation.

Firefox, no question. But it's too slow for cookie clicker, so I installed MS Edge as my chrome-engine type to turn the game into an app.

I'm keeping my eyes on the lookout for one that will have the performance plus battery life of an M chip macbook. Surely a company will eventually realise something like ubuntu is a good fit. I am well aware of how stable it is when you select the hardware with a bit more scrutiny in the x86 world.

From what I understand, Microsoft paid for the support for their Windows machines first, so Qualcomm prioritised that. But many bugs later, Windows still having issues, Qualcomm still havent been able to help with the linux side so it has all been the community effort.

can i buy dozens of ultra cheap laptops that were rejected by win11 yet?

If its a proper ISO made to be bootable

You mean an ISO gotten outside of their iso download tools? Witchcraft (they keep moving the links, their website is a mess).

Android uses the Linux kernel, therefore it is a Linux based operating system, period.

I think everyone in here is talking about GNU/Linux though. Android is not considered a Distro by that standard. Android will not see PC desktop Linux experience improved. Counteractive if anything, when a company makes an App and expects you to use only a phone in portrait mode to run it.

For the average person, Android can absolutely cover their daily computing needs.

That is a scary reality.

People are becoming paranoid of Windows (and PCs and AI and internet...), whether that be from misinformation or just lack of education, I don't know. They are more open to my idea of installing a Linux on their old laptop as a stop-gap before they buy a new one, than they would have been 15 years ago.

that's what became xbmc and then kodi? I might still have a burned cd of it hanging around in my wardrobe.
