If it wasn’t for those rascally penguins I would be flat broke trying to afford the latest system requirements for Windows 12 or a mediocre MacBook instead of a $120 5 year old Dell Latitude, how dare they!!

I know what you’re getting at and this isn’t directed at you and I know this is why it’s done, but the capabilities of the phone don’t have any bearing on the use of the AI so why gatekeep it? It’s a dumb way to make a profit.
This is why I cringe at cell phone manufacturers selling cloud and AI features based on phone models because wtf you’re not running that cloud on that handset so why do you gatekeep the product behind that model? It can’t require that many resources, it’s a cloud app!
Poor Tux, it’s a rough life
You sure your laptop isn’t splitting graphics to an Nvidia DGPU? Usually it’s flawless unless I’m using Ubuntu specifically
I actually am okay with the appearance, but there is just way too much emphasis on doing things that the user base doesn’t care about, instead of actually fixing bugs with the product and solidifying it. Which, okay, I guess some folks are fine with that, but being the most popular distro, why try to drive so much innovation at the expense of stability?
I just revisited it a short while ago on hardware that had actual 16.04 compatibility confirmed by vendor back in the day and it was a battery hog and a call tracing dumpster fire on 23.10. Then I switch to Debian 12 and not a single problem. I don’t get it.
The Canonical cycle:
Canonical solves a problem nobody was experiencing or needed a resolution for
Canonical pushes problem resolution as a major component of Ubuntu
“Resolution” impacts Ubuntu use negatively
Users get the pitchforks
Canonical kind of mitigates the issue somewhat but not completely
Canonical goes back to thinking about problems nobody is having
Repeat ad nauseam
“Why doesn’t this just work I never had this problem on Windows!!” leaves no necessary information to troubleshoot
Vs.
“I have this specific and obscure workflow I use with this one package nobody has heard of, I perform XYZ action and after I ran pacman -Syu I’m seeing that the application is segfaulting and leading to this call trace…”
Five page dump of dmesg
“I mapped this to line 748 of the Linux-Zen kernel source file can somebody help explain how I can work around this?”
No responses for eternity, thread archived
Ubuntu 8.10
I don’t like Ubuntu anymore but I loved it then
This is a very good point, I forgot gaming laptops are almost exclusively nvidia
People just think “gaming?? OH NO I NEED MY NVIDIA!!!” while AMD is sitting there like “hey. Hey I have a card that’ll work. Hey. Card. Right here. Works better in Linux. Less headaches. Hello. Hey person. Card. Hi.”
Entirely fair and valid! Apologies for making it sound like that would be a good thing. Thanks for your input on that.
Alright who let you out of your echo chamber
Yeah even if there is a worthwhile footnote, that * signals that “there’s a catch, uh oh spaghettios”
If you’re shouting out Non-Binary spectrum, Xenos, Agender, or others too just say so. If we’re talking trans folk, there’s no asterisk needed. If you are looking to include men, what’s the point of shouting out the women, just thank all contributors. The effort is nice but that bit of the execution is pretty flawed and opens up way too much discussion that gives the bigots a platform to yell on.
Well there’s always Gentoo at least, though not a BSD Unix of course
That’s it, I’m setting up a LFS box and hostnaming it something garden-related, there’s always a package to be updated
Getting mad at X-Men for being “woke” is just very, very very stupid and I don’t even want to throw justification as to why because it should be so obvious if you’ve even take one look at the media source that they’re effectively outing themselves as morons.
If you get mad at other franchises for revisionist inclusivity, whatever, but c’mon it’s X-Men, there’s no limits here.
News sites are freaking stupid.
Dude we literally have that unix_surrealism comic there’s at least some love for BSDs here
