It really comes down to if you are trying to use newer hardware or not. Debian based systems usually run fine out of the box on older systems.
For newer hardware your going to want new drivers and kernel versions which you get with a rolling release distro.
It’s time to move on, all the cool kids are driving wind stars now
I’ve been trying fin Droid which works well but it’s definitely a work in progress.
3000s were good and the 4000s were bad value for a long time. I went AMD this generation for the first time. Gott a 7900xtx for a lot less than a 3080/4080. Prices have come down a bit though.
If you know anything about Lenovo you would know that if ARM laptops started to have high market share they would have like 35 mediocre models on offer in a year.
Some of the think pad lines are still good but their consumer offerings and a couple of the think pad lines are trash.
If you were a good manager you would have the skill to successfully manage that and everyone would be happy
This is reported as a percentage and that’s what is tripping people up here.
You are not seeing a drastic rise in Linux usage you are seeing a large decrease in the use of desktop computers.
Linux is increasing because the only ones left using desktops are Linux users.
There is an argument to be made that he is promoting that stuff and in doing so spawning a litany of less scrupulous copy cats.
I’m not sure he is the egg of that particular variety of content.
I mean that is true but there is some nuance.
At one time it was a cheap way to protect your site from drive by scripts and make your users help pay for that protection.
They still work in that way on say the comment section of a tiny WordPress blog because the cost to solve them isn’t worth what a random boner pill ad is worth.
The issue now (made worse recently by LLMs) is that more bots then ever are scraping any and every thing so people are putting captchas on every bit of every web app content they have. This increases the work of your users while it only slows down the bots. The hope is that the cost to solve is slightly higher than the value of the data.
Windows decline has nothing to do with any of the actual features.
It is declining because fewer people are buying PCs anymore. Every one is using a mobile device or tablet.
This is also the reason they are squeezing windows harder to make up for the down turn.
I do enjoy the rust compiler error messages. They are nicely formatted
It doesn’t give you super powers.
Though he would basically be a datacentre with all the bill gates microchips in him.
That used to be the case but I wonder if it still is.
Modern software is loaded down with telemetry and crash reporting. So the software itself is likely doing the reporting at this point.
Linux definitely has more weird permutations with regards to software and hardware and would expect it to produce more issues just based on that.
When Americans say Canadian bacon do they mean actual pea meal bacon or ham?
Funny you say that ah
For real though I use a down stream arch distro.
Installing arch manually is a good learning experience but I’ve got other things to do.
I understand it’s not for everyone but I jumped ship to Linux 10 years ago or so. The defining moment was me disabling Cortana only to have her reappear after an update.
At least with Linux when I’m fighting the OS it doesn’t feel like the OS developers are fighting back.
The idea is good I think but the implementation has only ever caused me problems and seems to have a bunch of frustrating edge cases.
That’s my uninformed assumption.
Part of that joke though is that they’re both exactly the same which is of course a false premise.
