nano, to random

sorry fedi but if you have never taken the time to use macos as your primary os, you know nothing about it and have no right to shit on it. stop being linux evangelists, let people use what the fuck they want

gabboman,

@nano I've been that kind of asshat before and I highly regret it. Like I get that apple and mac are far from perfect but its A LOT better than windows. And some people just want that.

Hell, I've been seing youtubers recomending linux to play instead of fucking windows!

This even gets worse..

For example, when you 'accidentally' click the help question mark instead of the exit cross, it will open Microsoft Edge with a search on Bing for "help with paint in windows".

Gawd... it even litters your desktop when you try to close it.

I had removed Edge and it returned somehow after an update? Paint triggered to open it... and now I have a 'search bar'?

What is it... early 2000's?

I already checked Linux Mint 21.2 beta some days ago, I'm pretty satisfied with it, cool for basic desktop usage. Whatever the basic word describes. But 2023 is still not the #linux desktop year. :D #windows + #XBOX merge has advantages in gaming, but for web usage and administrative tasks Linux could be enough. Mac has preference in design toolsets, not to mention. Choosing OS is free, not the OS is free itself! Huge difference though.

Here's a little $8.99 Steam game that seems to seek to be a sort of remake or "inspired by" take on the classic Zarch / Lander / Virus from David Braben. It lacks the amazing control mechanics of the original, but is reminiscent in a number of ways.

Epopeja serwisowa laptopa mojej partnerki dobiegła końca.

Efekt: komputer dalej nie działa i nic się nie da z nim zrobić 💀

Jeżeli wierzyć serwisantom z punktu, w którym komputer spędził ostatnie dwa miesiące (a można im wierzyć lub nie) to jakimś cudem #Windows 10 wymuszając aktualizację BIOSu nadpisał kontroler EC. Żeby odkręcić tę usterkę trzeba byłoby dostać się do kontrolera procesora (Intel Engine Management), który jest kompletnie zamknięty i tylko producent sprzętu (#Lenovo) ma do niego dostęp. Także fajnie.

Zapytacie się więc, czemu nie pójdziemy do autoryzowanego serwisu, który ma odpowiednie narzędzia/pozwolenia/magiczny kod własnościowy i odkręci tę usterkę? Ano dlatego, że takowego nie ma w całym naszym półmilionowym mieście i według wyszukiwarki na stronie producenta takowy nie znajduje się w promieniu 100 km xD

I tym właśnie sposobem, dzięki najlepszemu (potrzebne źródło) systemowi operacyjnemu na świecie, czteroletni #ThinkBook może robić za podpórkę pod drzwi albo przycisk do papieru. A tyle się mówi o recyklingu, o nadawaniu starym urządzeniom nowych funkcji itede itepe, a jak dochodzi co do czego to można sobie między bajki te gadanie włożyć jeżeli nawet nie można naprawić komputera bez wiedzy wielkiego korpo 💀

I nic, trzeba będzie zaopatrzyć się w nowy, ale bezsens tego wszystkiego jest uderzający. Najwyżej podłubię z dyskiem twardym, postaram się go wyczyścić bleachbitem zanim całość trafi do kubła z elektrośmieciami. Może na nowym laptopie zainstaluje Linux Minta i zobaczymy, czy Żuczkowi będzie on pasował (na zastępczym laptopie ma Windowsa jedenastkę i jest "zachwycona" 🤡 ).

It is pretty interesting watching the Computer Chronicles roll out coverage of the original WindowsNT in 1993. It makes me want to fire up a VM and play with it and/or Windows 3.11 again for some UI nostalgia. It is interesting seeing all the features we've gotten used to in Windows with the modern interface but using the Windows 3.1 style interface. One interesting tidbit which I didn't realize until last week was that NT supported symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) from the original release on. Meanwhile when Apple acquired NeXT in 1997 NeXTSTEP still did not support SMP. My first foray into WindowsNT didn't come until the late-1990s when our engineering labs were equipped with computers running NT 4.0 but none of them had multiple processors. I wouldn't get my first multiprocessor machine until the early-2000s when I was attempting to parallelize algorithms for the software company I then worked in...running WindowsXP by then. #ComputerHistory #ComputerChronicles #Windows #WindowsNT

I swear if #microsoft is serious about this, I’m not gonna install #windows on any of my machines ever again.

Don’t they realized most of the world has shitty internet connection?
And it’s without taking into consideration it’s gonna affect games you play online.

#linux is gonna be my new home.

#Microsoft has talked before about SaaS. It's probably better suited for businesses, but it's a great excuse to turn the whole platform into a subscription machine.

Some day, when I can finally order a @frameworkcomputer 16, it'll be the first time I'm buying hardware specifically to run Linux on.

I haven't bought hardware to run a specific OS since the BeOS days, everything since then has just been, "Meh, whatever, I'll somehow shoe-horn my non-gaming into this."

TastyWheat,

@Taffer @frameworkcomputer This is the way. I've never installed #Linux onto a laptop designed for #Windows and had a bug-free experience.

Linux_Is_Best, to linux

So you're a gamer, and you want to try Linux.

But while you know virtually any Linux distro can be made to run games, you're also lazy, and just want someone to have done some of the work for you.

PikaOS - It's based off of Ubuntu. I suggest the KDE version since it will remind you of the semi-familiar Windows 7 or 10 desktop.

Regata OS - Based off of openSUSE, with KDE, and you'll love the extended hardware support

When the work laptop updates and resets your power management settings and keeps going for full shutdown when you close the laptop lid because you're working on an external monitor.. 😡

PragmaticOne,

@wiredfire

Oh dear :/ Windows by chance?

Good tech staff would have set a policy so that it informs, downloads but does not install the updates until you shutdown/restart & does not change things like power management settings.

Your system should be monitored remotely to indicate whether you have rebooted or not & allow them to force a reboot if necessary.

I work mostly on & with unix / linux platforms but I can’t abide poor Windows management.

I'm so glad that I've been able to deprecate Windows from being my primary OS for computers at home. I have a Surface Pro 3 that I want to chuck out the window every time I use it and I have a Windows 10 VM for a few pieces of software. Everything else is macOS or Linux at this point.
