What part of posix is redox trying to get away from?
Depends what you want in an OS. The increasingly invasive ads and loss of control in Windows is overwhelmingly a good enough reason for me. But it is not the case for everyone.
Linux has its quirks, and it’s a different approach to an OS in general, so it can be intimidating if you only want an office machine.
Microsoft primary motivation was not to benefit the community, but to gain good PR in that case. It just so happen that this move also benefits the community as well.
And that’s my point. Sometimes, corpos’ decisions benefit the community, but this is only a side effect, not the intended purpose.
No corpos does something for the good of the people. It just so happen that this particular thing does.
Behind every move, there is a price tag attached to it.
By doing that, Microsoft is trying to get good PR.
Because the CEO is probably having an existential dread crisis and needs to do something about it. So he fucks up the logo because he can, and fuck you. Now watch Mozilla ads from their newly acquired Ad company.
It’s probably more “Hey look at what HP got away with. Let’s try it”.
It’s always the same thing.
Corpo push dog-shit idea and receives backlash.
Pull back for a moment, and goes a little bit softer than the last and see if it sticks.If it sticks, it becomes the new standard for every similar corpo.
Rinse and repeat.
Just look at when Bethesda tried to sell a horse armor for Skyrim. Now it’s the norm.
I will try out Debian, which uses Wayland by default. So hopefully I will get what I need for my DE.
Otherwise, if nothing works for me, I always go back to Ubuntu if I really don’t like Debian.
Thanks for the insight, it is really useful. I’ll spin up Debian on my work laptop for sure and I’ll see how it feels to decide for my personal PC.
I am thinking of going Debian as well since I like Ubuntu on my work laptop.
I would like to use the same OS for both PC since I am not a power user yet, but I am tempted by endeavourOS to dip my toes into arch linux.
I don’t want to have too big of a productivity loss at work (don’t care at home), so I am thinking to switch to Debian for work, and EndeavourOS on my personal PC to gain experience with it. If I like endeavourOS a lot, then I can switch my work laptop to it as well.
Isn’t it how most Linux users progress?
I use Ubuntu for work and it serves its purpose really well.
It was the first time I really ditched windows and learnt how to use Linux.I have Kubuntu on my personal PC and it feels klunky to me.
So I am not sure why is that, since it uses the same base.
My only issue right now is that I need to split the apps I use between dpkg, apt or snaps and it sucks when I need to uninstall something.
So once my project is done at work, I will try another distro.
Yeah because the seller just resell you the Temu/AliExpress junk with a markedup price.
And some of them even just dropship stuff.
RAM is still memory, so you can put anything in there, like an OS.
With pivot_root, you can change where the root is. So you pivot into your OS in RAM, which becomes the root of the system.
At that point, you can do pretty much anything you would normally do with your OS, like unmount a HDD.
I’ve never personally done it, but that’s a simplified explanation of what OP did.
Buy a ploopy mouse and have your mouse forever. It is fully open sourced with QMK software.
Yeah but they didn’t have a line for that in their excel sheet, so how are they supposed to find that money?
Bean counters hate nothing more than imprecise cost saving. Are they gonna save 100k in the next year? 200k? We can’t have that imprecision now can we?
No, I explained what the comic is trying to convey.
Just answering your question.
Things that are common knowledge for you is not common knowledge for everyone and vice versa.
Instead of making fun of people for not knowing things, you should take the opportunity to teach so that you can get these fun moments of discovery and learning.
Yeah because fuck you and every single pleb.
It’s a great launching pad to learn how a language works, but beyond simple things, it get bad very fast.
I also use AI to look for terms in specific domains, which is really helpful as well.
