Shipping is slow, but customer support is great actually

Rotation works for me flawlessly on Fedora Silver blue.

Send me a PM and I’ll buy you a coffee ;)

Is this the Lemmy that is said to be less toxic than Reddit? Maybe it wasn’t Subway, maybe it was something different. It was 10years ago, I may be misremembering the details.

Did I remember everything correctly? Dunno. Are you being a dick? That’s 100%.

I remember my first meal on my first visit to the US 10 years ago. It was Subway I think. I see a price advertised, but to my shock I paid almost double that. Fee for dining in, sales tax, too.

Yesterday I’ve spent an hour to figure out how to make Cities Skylines use my RTX 2070 instead of the integrated one on PopOS. For me this is the main issue I face with games. Is having a dedicated AMD card instead better?

Nothing is happening in Norway. Source: I live in Norway.

I’ve met only a handful people that use Linux on their desktop, plus some developers that use it at work.

Not in a million years. The next generation will though, they won’t see any issue with it.

I guess they will anwser such calls with AI to get a summary anyway…

Great points overall. I guess previous generations thought that a hand-written letter cant be replaced by a digital one, yet here we are.

Let’s say that there is a single player MMO where all the other players are played by AI, but it is done so well that you can’t really see the difference from real-human MMO players.

Would you play this? I would not. The fact that there is a human on the other side is important, even though it does not make any practical difference. Same with birthday wishes - that’s way Facebook did not automate “Happy birthday!” even though it could.

Would you upload your personal data and voice to Open AI for it to make a a birthday wishes call to your mom? So convinient! She won’t know the difference, and you get a 5 bulletpoint summary afterwards! Such a hellscape.

In my previous job I ran my main laptop with Linux. Pain points:

• MS Teams liked to crash on screen sharing
• o365 email and calendar works best on Evolution, but still is not perfect
• meeting rooms often had special usb dongle to connect to the screen. That never worked on Linux.

Overall it was glorious.

That’s the thing - there is no option to update BIOS on Linux then.

You must install Windows or maybe use one of those unofficial Windows Live USB images.

There is no universal solution to this. Some vendors support fwupd (LVFS) on some hardware (Dell, Lenovo), some allow to update via a file on a USB stick (Asus).

Unless it is a system from Linux first company (Tuxedo, StarLabs, System76, Slimbook) expect to manually check what the specific model you are looking at supports.

Yeah, i am retiring my XPS 13 only due to it having 8GB of RAM. It is quite an old model with i7-8550U - the speed is still perfectly fine as my daily driver, but I filled the memory to the brim way too often.

It is the new name for the desktop variant of the immutable variant of OpenSUSE.

Exactly this. If the pages listed do not support the claims it helps Trump in the end.

tar -xzf stands for tar eXtract Ze Filez

This is the only correct answer. Onshape is a fantastict, feature complete CAD system that I would be happy to use for any commercial project regardless of size and stakes. Love it.

It is about installing .deb that you manually downloaded from somewhere. You can’t install them by double clicking on them, you have to install from command line.

I used to use Tubleweed, but I tested Fedora Silverblue to check out what the immutability is all about and never returned. I think I will switch to OpenSuse Aeon, but for now it does not support Full Disk Encryption which is a deal breaker for me.

It does not explain Month to Month swings between 3.4% and 16%.

I honestly doubt that every 10th user in Norway is using Linux.

I assume data comes from statcounter.com. I looked at Norway there.

Browser market share: Firefox June 2023: 2.65%. September 2023: 36.27%!!! December 2.46%.

This does not compute. Similarly for Desktop OS. Linux in Norway has 3.41% is September, but 16.99% in November?
