Yes this is absolutely how Linux operates, but it’s embarrassing and primitive, and it’s actually decidedly a bug.
I haven’t done much programming for many years, but you used to be able to see if you went a step deeper into the file system operations, whether the file you are copying still has parts in cache.
Just because nobody does it, doesn’t mean it’s not a bug.
There is no sense in showing a progress bar that is wrong anyway.
Focus might be a bit much,
I only have a single feature wish, and that is to have file copy operation progress show correctly.
As it is, if I copy a few gigabytes to an USB stick, it very quickly shows as finished.
But it can take up to a couple of minutes before the operation is actually finished, and the stick can be unmounted and removed.
The easiest way to check I know of, is tom open a terminal and simply use sync. And it seems immensely primitive to me that I have to do that.
This is an age old problem for copying files that began to occur on PC systems way back around 1991, when write cache became a thing for disk operations. And honestly it makes me sad that this problem still isn’t solved now 35 years later. 😥
Otherwise I think KDE is doing great with their desktop, except I think it should just be called KDE desktop, and not that other thing they call it now.
Expected errors are the worst, they don’t even pop up an error message, but just keep fucking things up in the background.
It’s so nice to get a more specific error message to narrow it down. Error of the type error, should make the fix easy peasy.
Same here, and to be fair, I had to ask my wife. 🤣
Nvidia drivers do not always play nice with the kernel, and can disrupt high end audio use. If you use Linux you should use an AMD or Intel GPU.
My wife used to use Nvidia, because it worked better for some games, but she finally ended up getting pissed with the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and switched to AMD about a year ago. And now all her games that used to work with Nvidia drivers also work with AMD.
AFAIK Debian support Nvidia proprietary drivers reasonably well today, but for older Nvidia cards you may be out of luck, they can be a real shitshow to get to work if you want to use the proprietary driver.
Best option is to just stop using Nvidia on Linux!
Nah it’s symmetrical enough IMO. I don’t care much about the mirror anyways. 😋
?
I don’t get it?
Edit:
Ah now I think I got it, it’s because the mirror isn’t symmetrical to the sink.
So it’s more like a non OCD bathroom.
Personally I prefer an Arch derivative, and neither of us can convince the other. 😋
However we both see the merits of “the other side”, we just have different preferences. But we also have some fun with it if some times. 😎
My wife uses Debian and is very happy with it.
She uses it both for gaming and studio recordings with Ardour.
Debian has for decades been among the most respected distros in the Linux world, and it still is.
If you want something solid, Debian should be your first choice.
Edit PS:
She also uses it for programming occasionally. Debian is an excellent platform for “coding” with its huge repositories.
But most Linux distros are very good for programming, and will have all the common necessary tools readily available.
She offered to pay for it!
the woman repeatedly asked for tap water with her meal, even offering to pay for it.
WTF is wrong with wanting water to a meal she pays for? Here our quality of tap water is generally better than bottled water, I imagine it could easily be the same in a mountain hotel in Italy.
That’s really low class of the Hotel restaurant, and yes I am pretty sure it would be illegal in most countries.
This is impossible, it is not circled in red like it’s supposed to.
It was a joke. 😋
Yes, that’s how it’s pronounced after you drink it.
Snaps is something you drink.
AFAIK only users who have it shoved down their throat by Ubuntu use snap packages.
There is no other option than to simply tear down the whole house and build a new one.
To bad smoking isn’t allowed, I could find good use for a cigarette there.
My gosh, it’s so rare I have a chance to use my printer, thanks for sharing. 🤣
How is it not a bug? The info shown is decidedly wrong!
Would it also not be a bug if your weather app shows freezing 8 C° tomorrow when it’s going to be 40 C°?
Because there’s a perfectly understandable explanation, that they only count to 32 because temperatures didn’t get higher than that 30 years ago, so it counts down from zero when it’s above 40, because that’s how we’ve done it for years.
Just because you know why, and it’s a little bit cumbersome to do it correctly doesn’t mean it’s not a bug.
It’s not only a bug, it’s a lazy ass bug.
