Holy shit. Are they generating documentation or a game?

Looks like the announcement was written by somebody from the US and the picture made by somebody non-US.
It’s for people who like the Malus aesthetic, regardless whether it’s ergonomic or not. If Malus does it, every competitor just has to in order to be able to say “we can do that too”.
We still suffer from the runtime errors that could’ve been caught at compilation time.
Tuxedo Computers for sure. KDE also wants to partner with Framework, and Slimbook already makes KDE laptops.
Lenovo, Dell and HP are terrible IMO. Not only are the not Linux focused but also terrible companies. The Linux laptops they make are just to target developers meaning: fix your own software issues 😒 Dell for example has had webcam issues on Linux for ages with their MIPS or whatever cameras and simply don’t give two shits.
Support a real Linux laptop vendor like the one mentioned above. Not only do they contribute to Linux and open source in general, but I find they are more accessible in terms of support, and they do pretty well in terms of making Linux work on their hardware.
What do the accounts do? I’m not sure what they are…
What did you actually do?
Maven and Cradle might be terrible, but C and C++ have fucking nothing in terms of dependency management. Even C# has something that few people use, but it has something. C and C++ are such a shit show to build. It’s so bad they had to invent languages to build them and they regularly fuck up (CMake, make, bison, scons, meson, …).
Pull a C or C++ project on a distro or environment and try to build it and you have to dive in the abyss of undeclared dependencies. And good fucking luck with glibc and glib dependencies. If the dev doesn’t know which version they were actually using, it’s up to you to find out. Fun for the entire family!
I just disabled balloo. It has never served me any purpose and I’ve never found a good description of what it does. It has never completed indexing of my files and would always start indexing (seemingly) randomly after failing.
Baloo is off on every KDE desktop I’ve set up (mine, friends, and family).
Can’t imagine there is any. You need to learn three scripts to read Japanese fluently IINM. Katagana, Hirigana and something else… Probably someone who speaks Japanese can say.
If an Arch linux user hasn’t told anybody they use it, are they really using it?
The hate is towards the community members that spam “arch btw” and telling new users to install arch.
You do everything you’re told? They say work overtime and you say how much?
22·4 months agoIt used to have a graphical updater. I don’t know why they did away with it…
Some people just don’t have a sense of humor 🤷♂
I spent the day yesterday trying to get kubuntu to update to the new LTS on a friend’s laptop. All because plasma5 was being slow at login. Well, after a few hours, it was finally updated and we spent another 2 trying to find out why plasma6 was now slow.
The whole time I was thinking “why the hell did the update require the command-line” and “this feels like punching myself in the face”. I wanted a quiet, productive saturday and spent it on linux instead.
Ubuntu is not ready for non-technical folk in these cases. Without me as support, my friend would’ve been lost on the “most user-friendly distro”.
Linux is amazing tech and the ecosystem built around it is better than windows and mac for many things, but still fails at random, supposedly simple tasks. Yes, windows and mac too, but it’s much more visible on linux.
Matt Parker also wrote a linux driver himself! Much respect.
I think it’s all but certain that they’d want user’s computers to to boot into something they made, or at the very least, slapped their branding all over, even if that was only a wrapper for their web browser.
Oh yeah, absolutely. They might even make Edge send some additional data to verify that it’s the browser being used. They might even add attestation with a binary is pinging Microsoft with messages signed by a microsoft private unique per machine and generated when the user signs in. They could add a paid subscription to limit the number of devices connecting to the cloud instance. For an extra fee they could add connection “from any device or browser”.
Or or or. There are a bunch of things they can do. They could also, as I said, just allow any browser to connect, but looking back, yeah, that’s probably naive.
Who knows and who knows how fast (or slow) governments would react.
The reactions here are why people don’t join forums, don’t ask questions, or choose to learn alone. “duh, I knew that”. Yes, the dude didn’t, which is exactly why he’s frustrated. I think too many have forgotten what it’s like to be a beginner and make a fatal mistake, which would explain the mocking responses here and things like recommending new linux users Arch.
