This isn’t like a phone OS where they add ressource-draining new features every 6 months.
If your computer can run the OS at installation, it’ll be able to run it for a long time.
One good reason not to use Arch is if you have a limited internet connection.
Updates are often 1 GB or more per week, depending on what you have installed.
So if that’s an issue, Debian is the better choice.
By default, lemmy shows you whatever’s posted in any community yours is federated with, with a slight bias for posts that get upvotes.
Everything else is up to you. Personally, I like sorting by new comments instead.
How do you format your feed to make sure you’re seeing what the other side is actually thinking?
What’s “the other side”? You’re on a predominantly leftist and nerdy platform, and even here we argue all day long.
If you want to see more conservative, pro-religious or right-wing content and try your hand at arguing with morons, this isn’t the best place. And in those conservative spaces, you’ll likely be banned as soon as you disagree.
Until you install Firefox, that is.
Are you drunk?
I support a fleet of 300 Windows laptops plugged into USB-C docking stations, with bluetooth headsets, and all that is connected to a Citrix farm.
My job has been pure driver hell for the past year, ever since we were forced to downgrade to Windows 11.
And I have no idea how to get out of it.
What happens if you put the recycle bin in the recycle bin?
So, all in all… A relatively decent Windows update compared to the average?
Yeah, I’m definitely gonna need lsd for this.
Fun fact: Phone cameras now have enough resolution for AI to get your fingerprints off a photo
Imagine if this leads to all people in AI images flipping you off.
I wonder if he can use slurs.
Some things still don’t work on Wayland.
(Like screen sharing with Anydesk, as an example I ran into yesterday)
But at this point, I just replace the thing that still requires X11 with an alternative, or find a different solution.
X11 is dead tech. Wayland has its own issues, but it’s better than X11 in almost every way now, actively maintained, and it’s the current standard.
Did the road runner paint a tunnel on it again?
For some people it’s a lot easier and faster to get in the mood.
If your or your partner’s genitals are vomit-inducing half a day after your last shower and putting on fresh underwear in the morning, you might have a medical issue that needs checking out.
Brother’s HL-printers are fully compatible with Linux.
In Mint, it’ll just show up as installed as soon as you connect it to the network.
Antivirus in the classical sense is an outdated concept anyway.
Nowadays, if you want to protect your system, you need endpoint protection that supervises everything with system-level root access and only allows whitelisted processes to run.
To set it up, I have used an LLM for instructions, so don’t listen to me for derails.
Mentioning LLMs is a great way to derail threads on lemmy.
At least the drone doesn’t start shooting before it’s fully turned the last corner…yet.
