Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%
  • Why are you still using uMatrix in 2024? Wasn't it discontinued 3 years ago or smth?

  • What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?
  • A Xiaomi smartwatch. I never found any good use for its "smart" features and I had to charge the fucking thing all the time. So I ended up dropping it after a year in favor of a regular digital watch.

  • Greece introduces the six-day work week
  • Because it is. And I say that as a Greek myself.

    Greece has been ruled by corrupt politicians for pretty much its entire modern history. Rich people never get prosecuted for the crimes they commit, heath and education are severely underfunded with outdated equipment, badly maintained facilities and underpaid personnel, press freedom is deteriorating and governments push for neoliberal "reforms" like these.

  • Is it possible to use Linux without the command line?
  • Nowadays, pretty much yes. I more or less use the command line as much as I did on windows. Of course things like installing software via the repos is more efficient via the command line, but most GUI tools will work perfectly fine for most people.

    Suggest some games for a 16yr old having low end PC
  • Xonotic.

    Great arena shooter all around even excluding the fact that's FOSS. Used to play it with a 2012 Intel i5 and HD 2500 integrated graphics on 1080p medium settings and was averaging around 80-90 FPS on default maps.

    Now I don't know what kind of GPU do you have, but I bet that it would probably just fine on low settings and maybe at a lower resolution.

    Another thing worth mentioning is that you may have trouble finding populated games with good ping if you live outside of Europe.

  • Arch but Debian based
  • Debian Sid

  • Trump will pull US out of NATO if he wins election, ex-adviser warns
  • Of course the whole "encourage Putin to attack other European nations" thing is stupid in typical Trump fashon, but less american imperialism is always welcome.

  • FLOSS communities right now
  • Permanently Deleted

  • [KDE] Oxygen desktop while my ThinkPad is out of action
  • Oxygen is probably my favourite theme of any OS ever.

  • [ICEWM] a traditional desktop
  • Γαμάτο

  • What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?
  • Phones

    You don't really need an 8-core CPU and 12 gigs of RAM for making calls and browsing the web, which is what 95% of people use their phones for. Not even buying such phone for the sake of longevity is worth it since most manufacturers drop support for their phones after 5 years at most.

  • It's wild that they get away with charging for it
  • The funny thing is that Microsoft also attempted to bring paid online to PC back in the GFWL days and failed.

    I think most people accepted Xbox Live being paid due to the fact that online gaming on consoles wasn't all that prominent compared to PC at the time.

  • And this is why I no longer have cable.
  • Not that streaming is any better though.

  • Is it just me or does the new reddit logo look evil
  • Even with the dark theme off it still looks like corporate garbage, especially the font.

  • Half-Life 25th Anniversary Update
  • It would be good if valve ported many of these changes like HUD scaling to their other GoldSrc games as well.

    What in your opinion is the worst Linux Distribution ever made?
  • ChromeOS if you consider it as one.
