Linux@lemmy.ml•planning to switch from windows 11 to Ubuntu on my laptopEnglish
7·5 days agoNothing wrong with Ubuntu, but it’s interface is definitely geared more towards Mac folks.
My recommendation for someone making the jump to full time Linux is Fedora Kinoite. It’s “immutable” meaning impossible to break, and uses KDE Plasma, which is like the modern Windows you’ve always wanted.
Again nothing wrong with Ubuntu, it’s great and will run on the hardware you mentioned, but if you are someone who wants to tweak settings without fear of breaking something somewhere else, I really recommend Kinoite.

4·12 days agoIf they don’t have power, they drop from the network or mesh.
That’s the problem, they don’t drop, the entity remains in a zombie state. Is there really no way to test if a device is still connected or not?
EDIT: Or just manually set an entity to “off”?

129·12 days agoDon’t get me wrong I hate LLMs being shoved down our throats, but I think the “Mozilla using AI” stuff is overblown. The few LLM features they’ve implemented are useful and non-intrusive. I actually think it’s a rare example of the tech being used intelligently (no pun intended).

What opinion were you banned for, Anakin?
Eh, it’s the same man children that turn out to whine anytime a woman is doing anything other than trying to look sexy for them. I like these threads because it’s an easy way to find people to block.
Now her content is following me here to the Fediverse, and the drama too
Is someone forcing you to spread this drama?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How can we stop bots on the fediverse?English
2·17 days agoThis is it exactly.
“But how can we know if it’s a bot?”
We probably can’t based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.
