From your perspective, your body wouldn't really change. It's the handedness / chirality of the universe that would be flipped. It's an odd thing to think about...

Where I'm from, it's super common to print A4 in half size and fold them into a little booklet when you need to distribute a few pages to loads of people

Linux has huge problems on my laptop, cause HP in their infinite wisdom decided to disable S3 sleep at firmware level. I still find myself dreading the thought of reinstalling windows though. I'd rather manually shut off my laptop every time I stop using it than go back to that awful proprietary OS.

I gotta give dual booting a shot. I need windows for my college's crappy exam software, but I also can't afford another laptop just for Linux

One of the many reasons why I use micro

I was one if those newbies who went with Arch as their first distro, but I found my home with Fedora. It's not the most up-to-date or polished distro, but it's by far the best all-rounder.

Trust me, they can easily find out about all emulators that exist. All that matters is if they see some advantage in shutting the project down.

I found a r*ddit post of someone talking about this new layout. If they go through with it, youtube is dead for me.

Those carbon credits won't do shit to save the planet, but at least flying less is a step in the right direction

Indeed. Calling it dino juice is funnier tho

I spent hours the other day uninstalling adware from my laptop after reinstalling windows on it. It's ridiculous.

Ain't capitalism grand?

If you want strikes, you gotta talk about it more. The people on the other side pump out as much propaganda as they can.

Linux runs people's cars, phones, routers, sometimes even fridges. And don't even get me started on servers. Linux is the most useful OS on the planet. The desktop is just another thing for it to conquer.

And why are they so shit in your opinion?

We have standards like pipewire, xdg portals and wayland in active development that try to cover anything a desktop OS might need. Lately there has been a huge push towards them, as the standards they replaced weren't future proof at all.

But I take it that you are more concerned about fragmentation of these standards. I can almost guarantee that a lot if it will just whither away with time. Noone wants to maintain ancient protocols like X11 anymore. We might have another turbulent few years in this transition, but the end result will be worth it.

And I don't get what you mean with compatibility exactly. There are lots of ways to define that, and the Linux desktop is excellent in many of them. We have xwayland for legacy applications, loads of translation layers to bring together older graphics APIs under the main vulkan drivers, WINE to run windows software, etc. You're gonna have to be more specific there.

Yeah people are gonna argue about everything, and the only way you can get them to stop is to take the choice away from them. Doesn't sound like it fits into the principles of open source software, right?

Multionitor scaling and HDR are luxuries. Some distros are working to fix them, others aren't. The good thing is though that once the code is upstream, everyone benefits from it. Even small distros that choose to run Gnome or KDE can just change a few config files to enable all the fancy things these projects provide.

Of course that doesn't mean smaller distros are necessarily going to do that, they have the right to be different.

I don't get how you go from "Desktop distros aren't mature enough to have every feature under the sun" to "Linux distros are shit"

I thought of that problem the moment when they started explaining their use case. I had no idea there is a name for it, kinda cool. If the blockchain people have a real solution for it, it would be a pretty big deal

Both are important. I can't tell you how many times I've had to resort to containers, VMs, or compiling from source, just because some application decided to only provide packages for Arch or Debian.

Anyone know how I can program Anarchism?

That is why I always try to avoid installing Wine natively

I actually have some telemetry enabled on my system, cause I want the maintainers of my distro to have more data to base their decisions on. I always disable everything for proprietary software though, and I dislike opt-out systems.

How would this be implemented? I don't think the market would appreciate if all billionaires were suddenly forced to sell off billions worth of their shares. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to fight back against these tyrants, but not if it crashes the economy and makes the lives of workers worse.

I don't think most communists would have a problem with people trading crops that they grow themselves. The problem comes in when someone hires employees to grow more crops for them, starts collecting profits, and grows the farm even bigger. All under the expectation that they own everything that their employees worked for. Cause that's literally capitalism on a small scale.

Of course it needs to be possible for multiple people to come together and start growing crops, but only as long as no single person can take over the entire operation. Leaders would be elected, and be given a somewhat higher salary to reflect the additional responsibility.
