European Union, stand up to this bully, you're the second second largest economy, act like one.

Please. Get a life.

sigh... Stop beating a dead horse. I've been using Manjaro since 2022 with absolutely no problems.

Get over it!

Eh... The blog post left me hungry. He doesn't talk about his experience per se.

I ran the tests with the thinking model. It got them right. For these kind of tasks, choosing the thinking model is key,

All it takes is momentum. It's a chicken-and-egg problem, and I think it's gaining momentum because of Valve. Gaming was always the one thing stopping people from checking out Linux.

Now, however, more and more people are trying it out. More tech YouTubers are trying Linux, which means more exposure. Distros are becoming more refined. KDE is much better than it used to be because of Valve. All in all, there's true momentum building.

In due time, Linux will be preinstalled on computers and laptops, and because of this, more people will contribute to Linux. People are fed up with the bloat and heavy AI push of Windows 11.

Keep coming back to Wayland. I've been using Linux as my main desktop OS since 2022, and at first, I encountered many issues with Wayland (KDE). However, I kept coming back and testing Wayland as the bugs were fixed. Now, Wayland is great! It feels like a true modern operating system — much better than Windows.

The U.S. is currently being run by a child who throws tantrums at people who disagree with him and, like a child, does not acknowledge his mistakes.

I like pixelfed.ca. I love feeding myself with some pixel cats photos (get it?... Yeah...).

No so, from the article:

Daniel, the owner of a trucking company based in Alberta, Canada, who asked to only use his first name for privacy reasons, tells WIRED that two of his company’s trucks were turned away at the US border in New York and Montana today because they contained packages originally from China. After speaking with a US Customs and Border Protection agent in Montana, the company was able to get a third truck into Washington state by removing all packages from China, Daniel says.

No, oil is 10%.

I was afraid of this. I have a mid-2014 Macbook and it runs much better in Linux, but the trackpad leaves something to be desired.

How's the trackpad on Linux? I tried Gnome distros and KDE distros and the trackpad didn't feel natural... It seemed off.

The existing guides have not yet caught up with the paradigm shift of atomic distros.

When I say it's newbie friendly, it's because the base system is read-only (only /etc and /var are writable), and updates are only applied if all transactions are successful.

This paradigm shift requires people to install flatpak applications and command-line applications in distrobox containers.

It's not Atomic so not newbie friendly like Steam OS.

I prefer Bazzite which is Steam OS like.

Need more storage because of Windows BLOAT!

Welcome back! I was looking into OVH but after this outage... Naaah.

VPN companies are now very happy.

There 7 billion people on earth. Each family is different.
