Obviously, it’s Microsoft what did you expect? A job well done?

That sounds awful. Have you tried disabling energy saving options (like automatic screenlock/sleep)?

I think I get slightly better performance on Bazzite than on mint. Mint e.g. still has the 535 Nvidia drivers as recommended (we’re at 550 now). On Bazzite you’ll probably have to enable x11 until the new update with explicit sync drops mid May. (At least I had a ton of flickering on Wayland with my rtx 3060)

I had a lot of crashes as soon as I installed it. Must have been some driver/hardware issues probably. I’m not knowledgeable enough (and frankly had no energy to troubleshoot) I just installed mint which ran without (much) trouble. I was interested in a more up to date system and KDE plasma as well as pipewire already integrated and looked at bazzite (after another unsuccessful try at nobara) - have been t running it for a few weeks now and I’m perfectly happy with it. CS 2 also runs without problems - but I mainly cast matches instead of playing myself.

I tried to get nobara to run a few times but sth was always broken. I’m now on Bazzite after testing Linux Mint a few months. Bazzite seems to be the more polished fedora based gaming distro.

It’s what Microsoft opted to call their office suite now. So Office365 is now officially Microsoft 365 in an effort to acknowledge that your office work has now completely left their focus and they are only concentrating on themselves

Oh yes I remember Söder saying something along the line. Merkel probably blocked a lot of those talking points during her reign. Although she left a lot of things unattended during her 16 years in power, she was often a voice of reason, especially compared to the Bavarian nut jobs. What we would need at the moment is a lot more social politics, as that is the only thing that’ll stop the fascists. Unfortunately what’s happening is parties like the SPD and Grüne taking more conservative stands and taking along the same lines - Bezahlkarte for example should have been stopped at the first mention of it with a simple hint to our history.

The thing is, that German conservative politics (I know that SPD is also pro banking tiktok according to the article) has started to take every Republican talking point since Merz took over. Don’t get me wrong I’m no fan of tiktok and don’t use it, but they’ve also taken every other inhumane “idea” the Republicans present. After they started a war on gender inclusive language e.g. the German conservatives (and Nazis) started making it a topic in Germany as well. You can be sure that whatever the Republicans are being loud about, our very own neoliberals will have the same topics a few months later.

They really don’t have any ideas of their own anymore. They pulled political discourse down to US levels and are now an echo chamber for Republican bullshit.

I wonder how long it’ll take Microsoft to completely ruin their reputation with companies again after they took so long to recover it.
