Just stop supporting the biggest actor in the market.

Mio ,

Would it be a downside? Slower? Very costly?

Mio ,

I am just think that for a human to be a man or woman, then there is a 50 % chance. I see no reason for it to be different for chickens...

Mio ,

It would be wonder if they last forever and easly could be repaired. Making it better to keep the car then buy a new one. It just need to be upgradedable to the latest standards that might be more safe, efficient and agree with current law.

But I am pretty that would never exist - too hard.

Mio ,

Ok, but it might be in other areas. Example lets see someone invent very high efficiently on solar panels with no weight at all. Or lets get rid of rubber wheels and do sifi so the car can hover over the road.

Mio ,

It depends how out of date you are.

Mio ,

Yes. The question comes down to how many of these you need. And do you have the resources for it?

Mio ,

Running updates at shutdown/upstart is something I am not a big fan of. It might be safe but I would rather roll back if something goes wrong.

Mio ,

This is the part i dislike like with Fedora compared with Ubuntu. It is so many updates.

But since you can choose the time when to install the updates, there is a less of a problem.

Normally you don't notice any difference. And updates is much faster to install on Linux in general. Windows eats loads of CPU.

Mio ,

When Mozilla provide the firefox deb package - Why not give it then?
IMO snaps/flatpacks are slower to start, can't be updated while running, takes more diskspace, and takes longer time to update. With the isolation we also have different kind of problems - have you given it the correct permission?, and how do you get keepassxc browser extension to work with it(they dont support it)?

Mio ,

I don't really see a problem with a snaps/flatpaks as long as they are not on application I use every day.

But maybe it is easier if we have one standard instead of two.

Mio ,

I look at this from the developers perspective. Only need to learn one is good.

Mio ,

How many % of these 70% can't upgrade to windows 11 due to hardware limitation?

Mio ,

I actually dont understand why we not do something drastic. I mean like ban cars and planes. We can still get around. Just not at the same speed at the moment. Someone will come up with a better idea then gas cars.

We also need to think about computers. Why throw them away? We could just make better software and keep the devices for a very, very long time. Heck, very bad computer could land on the moon...

Mio ,

Well, it is the many against the few rich. It is everyones planet.

Mio ,

Microsoft got to much time on their hands.
Can they please work on the more important stuff like completing the transition from controlpanel to settings?

Mio ,

I am actually surprised that they even can use it. This is the time when they start to learn to read...

Mio ,

These things were made for kids. But I guess there is a kids mode available on smartphone. Never even looked for it.

But yeah, games and movies I guess they are looking for.

Mio ,

I guess even pressing random buttons is fun enough.

Mio ,

How to fill up the cache? I have 17 gb of 32 gb free, unalloacted, at the end of the day. Cache is only about 8 gb or so.
I think it was a mistake to buy that much ram. I use kubuntu.

Mio ,

I already have all my applications open. I even have prefetch installed

Mio ,

Alt+back or forward on mouse

Mio ,

Having a button to reinstall would make it even faster. Or at least a rollback button

Ingenious ways to measure power draw

So I wanted to get myself a Kill-a-watt. Being who I am, I wanted information regarding its accuracy, especially at low power draws. I found a comparison with a industry grade equipment (Fluke is about the best out there in handheld electrical meters). It’s not encouraging, so I thought about a more proper meter, but it’s...

Mio ,

If there is a problem at low power usage then you can easily solve it by temporary add more power. Lets say add a 40watt lamp or something, later remove it from the calculation.

Mio ,

Opensuse without knowing that it was Linux 20 years ago. Knowing was 3 years later with Mandrake.

Linux market share passes 4% for first time (arstechnica.com)

We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there's been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of...

Mio ,

As long as you can't see Linux machines in normal computer stores it will not happen.
Users never get the opportunity to experience it.
Today there is no killer feature really like the other OS have.

Mio ,

OS Y came out

Mio ,

Not a problem. I use my Domain so can easily move elsewhere. And I have a backup of all my mail in my email client.

Mio ,

Not so easy. Look at how often they have to redo the startmenu.

Mio ,

It is hard without a transition period. Sometimes you have to do work stuff on your computer.

For me it is Visual Studio that holds me back. Maybe Microsoft Teams as well. Yes, work.

Since I am a power user it will take. Especially now Wayland is very much work in progress.
I have some problem with keyboard bindings, text expander.
Pidgin and Hexchat works but thinks they are located left top for right click on tray icon.

Mio ,

I actually feel bad for you using Linux before most stuff had measured. Font anti aliasing, font name, screen tearing, drivers, flatpaks etc.

Mio ,

Some scenarios are useful, but the AI has to read it all to find that. It just need to know as much as possible in order to build a profile.

The only problem is that it is not limited to only you that can read the profile. You have no control of the data is stored.

Mio ,

Reason?

  1. Firefox does not support Microsoft Teams
  2. Microsoft disabled support for Firefox
  3. Problem for a specific computer/account
Mio ,

Forbid whatever shell is selling. Only except might be is if it saves life and there is no good alternative.
Wait - did I just solve climate change?
