I’ve noticed this too. I’ve given up on it and instruct others to look for programs in the start menu alphabetically instead of searching because even that is bad. Same with Outlook searches, I instruct people to use webmail because the searching works there.

Oh man this looks like the original NES Bubble Bobble which I loved! I even hear the same theme song! I hope this will be good because I can’t resist buying it!

Nice yeah I gave snaps a fair shot when they rolled out but then I witnessed firsthand the horrible upgrade experience that is snap with a Firefox upgrade and removed it. Fuck snaps.

The way I see Arch upgrades you really have 2 choices with their own pros and cons:

Upgrade infrequently (say once a month):

Pros: software stays the same so nothing breaks, no forced restarting of anything. Cons: If a new package broke something, you now have a much more difficult time picking out which package out of hundreds caused the trouble. I’ve heard that waiting too long to upgrade can cause things to break.

Upgrade frequently (every day which is what I do):

Pros: If a package caused an issue, you can more easily narrow it down and exclude it from updates. I had to do this for a few months after Plasma 6 was released, it was unusable. Cons: More restarting of services and reboots to ensure you’re on the latest version. When there are KDE core upgrades I’ll relog my session because sometimes things get weird with old and new libraries being used at the same time. There’s also just more useless system activity this way, for example sometimes I’ll update my kernel twice in a week but not reboot for a week or two. I now exclude kernel updates until I’m ready to reboot to avoid disk writes.

I really like how Debian and most other distros explicitly tell you that the update you’re doing is a security update. On Arch a typo fix warrants you installing a whole new version of the package.

KDE’s great. The Arch derivatives have that same constant new software churn and sometimes broken bleeding edge packages too. I went full time a few years ago and I’ve been extremely happy. Best of luck to you!

Holy shit I just reinstalled, the new beta is great! For Linux players, make sure you force proton compatibility or else it’ll run the native Linux build which is not the beta. This beta has high FPS and properly locks the mouse into the window!

It’s clickbait, the title implies that something wrong happened in this situation when no such thing occurred.

I wish there a way he could kill children without risking my health.

Nothing, because the author explicitly chose to allow this kind of behavior. Paraphrasing one of the Youtube comments on the video: the author picked a cuck license and then got cucked, what a shock!

It’s funny how apropos cuck really is here. We all recognize that a woman (Microsoft) cheating on her husband (the guy in question) is a bad thing, but we no longer view it that way when we learn that the man consented, video taped, and gets off to it. If you really want to stop this kind of thing, simply choose a better license like the GPL that forbids this behavior.

I think you need to go commercial recovery. If it was a file you accidentally deleted, that can easily be recovered, but you wrote directly to the device.

Gaming on Linux is great, steam isn’t porting games for SteamOS, instead they released Proton which allows you to play just about every Windows game without issue.

I don’t know about LibreOffice supporting Excel Macros, I’d assume not.

There are many good mail programs, but I think only one that properly integrates with Microsoft’s cloud stuff.

Visual Studio straight up runs on Linux, it should be familiar.

Try it out and see if you get your system how you want it :)

This is clickbait. tl;dr a guy released MIT-licensed software, Microsoft forked and renamed it as they’re legally allowed to do. Hell they could even close the source and sell it if they wanted to.

Endeavour, it’s pretty nice for gaming and different in some ways. I continue to run Debian stable on all my other machines. I really hated where Ubuntu has gone with snap and terminal ads, yet I still recommend it for people. My dream would be for Mint to make a KDE version instead of cinnamon, although I’d probably stick with Endeavour for myself.

I do want to see the content and community, just once though. I don’t even mean the same story being posted multiple times, but I think I see the exact same post multiple times.

I’ll try that, thanks!

There really aren’t that many cheaters in SC2. I’ve really only ran into 3 that I know of in 14 years. The funny thing is I still beat them too! Cheaters in SC2 are usually just bad at the game even with their cheats because they don’t understand the fundamentals, they can’t multitask, they can’t do a clean build, they can’t watch the minimap. Here’s the last one I hit a year ago with timestamped evidence: https://youtu.be/KNo1xsnRAXI?t

Kubuntu is a good choice for a first timer, I ran it for years. KDE is easy to use and beautiful, and it’s easily themeable including the mouse cursor. You don’t really need to use the terminal if you don’t want to, but sometimes it’s the easiest way to do something when you just need to copy and paste a command from a website. It’s nothing to be afraid of or hate. It looks like Proton VPN does have Linux packages, although they’re all for the Gnome desktop. You can still install and use it KDE, the only issue is it might look a little different from your other KDE apps. Installing Linux is easier than installing Windows these days, you won’t fuck it up :) The way software updates work is better than on Windows; it works a bit more like the app store on your phone: You install all your software from the repositories (the app store) and then you get updates to all of them and the whole system at the same time. You can always decide whether to update or not, but there’s really no reason not to. Free software and Linux software are generally designed for users rather than to make companies money, so new versions typically bring security fixes, new features, and improved performance instead of “features” nobody asked for. As a plus, you can always go read a real changelog to find out what’s new rather than the lame “minor improvements” cop out we see elsewhere.

My advice to everyone curious like you is to not worry so much and just dive in! Lots of things could go wrong, but lots of things could also go right!

I’ve never heard of the SUNXI kernel before, turns out it’s just Linux that focuses on support for ARM SoCs from Allwinner.

Repeated content. When I doomscroll I see the same posts I’ve already seen instead of less popular ones.

Thanks for sharing! My ls is already aliased to ls -h --color=auto

I’ve always heard that there are people or companies who do nothing but trademark fancy-sounding product names and then sell them to car and drug manufacturers. I read it on the internet so it must be true.
