Super bare. 🤣🤣🤣
Debian is probably Thee most supported distro with the most packages available.
Debian is also among the absolute best among Linux desktop options, and actually quite popular.
There’s a reason Debian is still the most forked distro.
Yes but more than that, the packages are also too small for use for suicide attempts. So you need to stack up with a few packages first too.
It’s a minor inconvenience, but I’m OK with it, because they claim it is actually working.
I never really thought so much about the time it takes to squeeze out the number of pills it takes to work. Which absolutely may be a factor too.
Almost everything is blister packages, which I personally find a bit annoying.
We can’t even get normal pain killers without them being in blister packages, and we can only buy limited amounts to prevent teen suicide attempts by painkillers.
That part however I’m OK with, because allegedly it’s supposed to actually work. 👍 😀
In Sweden, every package is individual;
Same here in Denmark.
The only place I’ve ever seen pills given out of the package is at the vet and in hospitals or by a doctor, and it’s for obvious reasons dictated by circumstances.
If we need 10 of some pill, they come in boxes of 10. I have no idea wtf is going on with splitting up packages to get 20?
PS: The example with the vet was worm treatment, those pills were in individual blisters, and you can get only one at a time I think due to EU regulation. It was then put in a package made specifically for that. And there were no sharp edges.
We used to get 3 at a time, to administer as needed, but apparently we aren’t allowed to get more than 1 at a time now.
Also the price has trippled to buy 1 compared to what 3 used to cost. So a 10x price jump!!!
Thanks, you are of course entiled to your opinion.
But from the content of the article, the headline seems fair. Be careful as an opensource project.
Hopefully other projects have better experiences, but it seems System 76 has acted in bad faith for some reason.
A bit unfair IMO by the downvoters to not explain their downvotes?
Spreading false information about Gnome claiming it is insecure sounds like a valid concern for the Gnome team.
That actually made me laugh out loud. 👍 🤣
Hopefully things will work with Wayland at that point.
I used XFCE many years because there were bugs and limitations in KDE I couldn’t live with.
Now I’ve used KDE for about 2 years without issues, and they pull this stupid stunt!
I still have XFCE installed, and when I switched to that my games worked fine again. Then when I wanted to switch back to KDE/X11 I couldn’t. It was friggin removed as an option after the latest upgrade, despite I specifically used KDE/X11 instead of Wayland because of a KDE/Wayland limitation that you can’t disable compositing.
I do use compositing, but I like to have the option to disable it if I need to. And it was when I noticed I couldn’t disable compositing, I switched to XFCE to see if that worked.
So long story short, I had to install a kde-x11-session package to be able to switch to it? WTF??
I must admit this incident has made me think of switching to another distro that respect user settings more.
PS:
My short trip to XFCE was quite nice, they have refined the design some since last I used it. But damned I’ll have to port all my hotkeys again, I used top have them in xbindkeys, but I moved them to native KDE to be compatible with both X11 and Wayland. 🙄
It would be nice if we could switch MESA version as easy as we can switch the kernel.
to some disappointment is still using Mesa 25.1 series graphics drivers
Good call IMO, my distro just upgraded to MESA 25.3, and I’ve had problems with black screens in games since that. I even tried switching to older kernels and since it’s apparently not the kernel, my guess is on the MESA driver.
PS:
I use a Radeon RX 6600 XT GPU, and it has worked fine for years before the upgrade.
I checked the cabling first, and that the card was firmly socketed, but they are fine, and it clearly happened after the kernel/MESA upgrade??? It doesn’t happen in desktop, only in games.
EDIT!!!
Turns out it was KDE/Wayland that caused the problem, for some reason the upgrade moved me from X11 to Wayland, and I had to install X11-session for KDE, after switching to that it works fine again.
Sad that Wayland which is supposed to be the better supported option now fails where X11 is still going strong.
OK that’s new to me, I have to admit I haven’t been looking at it for years, I do not feel comfortable following Microsoft specifications, as Microsoft has a long h9istory of fucking things up for others on purpose, and their safety record is probably among the worst in the industry.
Only as long as Microsoft allow it, and only because a lot of work was put into that shit. The first couple of years it was very flaky.
OK so when did you hear of an actual successful attack that could have been avoided if the user had used secure boot?
Microsoft secure boot is 100% made to be a pain in the ass for Linux users. It doesn’t add any security, but is instead a huge added unnecessary risk factor for data loss for users.
It’s true it’s not as accurate, but I think it can tell for more than 1, as long as it’s not in the wrong pattern.
Also if all 4 are going flat, there is either something seriously wrong or the user hasn’t checked tire pressure for a very long time, and you still need to do that.
I suppose that’s the thing that can measure the rotation with high enough accuracy, I didn’t even think of that.
So it’s based on a sensor that is already there! Very clever. 👍
What cost?
I’m arguing to convert to metric when posting on an international forum, because metric is the international standard.
But I’ll have you know that I often also post Imperial units when posting things that are in metric, because I know there are also a lot of Americans here. I’ve seen others do the same.
But Americans very rarely do that. Hence the claim about American arrogance.
Finally to make the car show bar instead of psi and use it for recommended tire pressure has no extra cost.
I must admit I’m a bit of an VW fanboy, I just bought an ID.4 and I am waiting for it be ready to drive home.
It is such a brilliant piece of engineering in so many ways, I am very impressed with what VW achieved with that car.
Goddam the driving of that car is excellent! 😀 😎
Apart from Steam not being a standard installed item, it is very feature full.
For 32 bit you also need to enable multi-arch.
But apart from gaming it is in no way bare and very very far from “super bare”. Ans Steam is pretty easy to install.
You wrote it was mostly for servers. Which although it is an excellent server distro, it is most definitely developed at least as much for desktop use.
I don’t think you really understand the implications.
