Call Microsoft about a bug and tell me how well their support works for you.
Pretty well, actually.
Because Windows 10 Support runs out next year.
With the current Windows 11 installer this doesn’t work anymore.
But you can download the ISO, use Rufus to create a USB boot stick and disable all the requirements (account, RAM, TPM, CPU generation) in Rufus’ options. Also lets you auto-deny all telemetry options and create a user account without prompting.
Framework’s choice for display isn’t Linux compatible.
They really should have set the option Make_Discord_Blurry_On_Framework_Laptops
to "false"
in the Linux kernel.
Endeavor and Arch both default to a Wayland session currently.
(Tested yesterday)
I prefer honey cause I’m no goddamn liberal hippie, so it’s important to me that animals were killed for my food.
Can Firefox install websites as web apps?
Every Windows version was shit when it came out, then became good through updates by the time the next version came out.
Except for Windows ME and 8, which were just shit.
Sometimes I long back for the times when I just used my computer to do things, instead of forming an opinion about the compression rate of my cursor’s image data.
Is EndeavourOS stable enough for everyday use
Yes, as long as you maintain it.
would restoring home with BackInTime just work
Nothing in EndeavourOS really “just works”. You have to install and configure the stuff you need.
Debian by default ships with 100% FLOSS.
Not anymore. The default installation doesn’t use the Linux-libre kernel and enables non-free firmware.
Android is Linux, too.
It will reach Slackware about 6 months before the heat death of the universe.
You don’t know what your ISP-provided router does exactly. It may let some traffic through from the outside. It may get an over-the-air firmware update or config change at any time from your ISP. It definitely has well-known, unfixed vulnerabilities.
Also, if you rely on NAT, you have to have 100% trust in all devices that are inside your network.
Thank you for your valuable contribution.
obviously loads of stuff is gonna break on arch just due to the bleeding edge release cycle
I keep reading this as if it was fact, but Arch never broke anything for me in several years.
You do need to do a bit more to maintain it, but IMO it’s less effort than a release upgrade on a versioned distro. And if you automate it you only need to deal with it once.
Where’s the difference to other distros for this?
I know people will disagree, but the correct answer to “I’m new, what distro would you recommend” is Mint. No list required.
It’s a capable, easy to start with, general purpose distro that works like Debian, one of the Linux gold standards, under the hood.
It has its flaws, but it gives you a fully functional system with everything an average user can expect from Linux, by clicking “Next” a couple of times. And it’s never really the wrong option no matter what you want in a desktop system, freeing newcomers from the overwhelming options that are out there.
So use Mint until you know which distro fits you better.
Yes. Now if you use apt to install Firefox or Thunderbird, it will reinstall snap and install the snap versions of those programs.
If you blacklist snap, it’ll throw an error when you try to install Firefox or Thunderbird cause it can’t resolve their “dependencies”.
You’ll have to install those programs from outside of Ubuntu’s repositories, and the list of affected programs is growing.
Ubuntu’s stated goal is to eventually use snap for all userland apps.
