DaTingGoBrrr , 8 days ago to Technology in EU finds Microsoft violated antirust laws by bundling Teams

Did you even read what this is about?

The European Commission used its statement to detail its concern "that Microsoft may have granted Teams a distribution advantage by not giving customers the choice whether or not to acquire access to Teams when they subscribe to their SaaS productivity applications. This advantage may have been further exacerbated by interoperability limitations between Teams' competitors and Microsoft's offerings. The conduct may have prevented Teams' rivals from competing, and in turn innovating, to the detriment of customers in the European Economic Area."

Let me guess. You're an American?

In Europe we have rules, regulations and consumer protections because our respective countries and the collective union actually give a shit about the people that live here.

DaTingGoBrrr , 22 days ago to Technology in AMD has preemptively dropped support for Windows 10 on its new Ryzen AI 300 Series chips

Oh okey, then I am with you! I have an integrated GPU in my processor that have been tinkering with but for my usecase it's not enough. Ideally would I need two external GPUs in my system so I can game on both Windows and Linux without rebooting or leaving Linux. Detaching a GPU from a running system is quite messy 😅

DaTingGoBrrr , 22 days ago to Technology in AMD has preemptively dropped support for Windows 10 on its new Ryzen AI 300 Series chips

Could you please explain how to do it in only the GUI? I need to disable my Nvidia GPU with scripts, detaching the GPU from my main OS before I can pass it. It's not 100% reliable

I am using Asuswrt-merlin on my router that does not support openwrt

Start menu looks like Win10/11 with ads, suggestions and news. This is not how XP used looked like

This is why I refuse to buy a "smart" TV. My old flat screen TV works perfectly fine with a Chromecast with Google TV. I can even use the Chromecast in my projector or any other device with HDMI input to make it smarter than most TV interfaces I have tried.

Last time I signed up (a few years ago) you could just enter whatever email you wanted and never bother to verify it. It's only a problem if you forget your password

DaTingGoBrrr , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in Do you forget that you need to update your system?

But not too frequently. Updating too often on Arch will increase your chances of something breaking. Updating once a week or twice a week gives the developers some time to fix bugs and make changes to other packages as needed

"The Microsoft-powered bot says bosses can take workers’ tips and that landlords can discriminate based on source of income"

Well it ain't wrong. Business can absolutely do that and do absolutely do that. If they get caught they get a slap on the wrist and that's it.

As long as the punishment does not match the crime the American society will never get better. This is why proper rules, regulations and oversight needs to be in place. The "free" market will never do the right thing on its own.

DaTingGoBrrr , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in The installation process of different Linux distributions

Maybe, but it works great for me and I like Arch

DaTingGoBrrr , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in The installation process of different Linux distributions

This is why I made my own install script for arch that gets me fully up and running with working hibernation and other tweaks. It might not take 5 minutes to install but I only have to press a few buttons and let it run

DaTingGoBrrr , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) to linuxmemes in Genuinely the only time Arch has broken something I can't fix myself

I just want to say that "Arch" didn't push or update anything. Everything in the AUR is maintained by the community and if something from there breaks then it's not on the Arch team

I would assume as any other distro. Windows applications are run through Wine or Proton on Linux.
I am not currently using Vanilla OS on my machine (using arch btw), still waiting for the stable 2.0 to dive in deeper.

To run Windows applications I would install flatpak package support in any of the subsystems (arch, fedora), then install Bottles for Windows applications and Steam or Lutris for games. Never tried Lutris for applications but it might work well too.

Vanilla OS 2.0 sounds like it could be for you. That distro can install everything. I mean everything. Ubuntu stuff, Fedora stuff, Arch stuff and whatever else!
