I think it’s the gartner hype cycle, which usually uses the same labels as the meme

I guess it’s realizing you just want a stable “it just works” type of mainstream distro with a large community and support

for 4 Linux would also kind have the same problem as a 3rd party ROM, (almost) no one is making mobile apps for Linux

Sure, there are a lot of desktop apps, but most don’t have a mobile UI in mind

Samsung, Xiaomi and OnePlus have removed the option of bootloader unlocking on all of their devices.

Got me worried (bc i have a newish oneplus phone) but apparently OnePlus is only doing that in China for now. Still not a good sign for the future…

if you close all the terminal tabs and do ctrl+r on a new one it will search all of the ones you closed

I’ve used some slightly weird hardware but haven’t experienced anything of what you described. Across the whole range from the lab server with 3 3090s and 500gb of ram to my $40 Chromebook I got on ebay

People make it sound like its some extreme time consuming task to learn rust. Rust actually gives helpful compiler errors tho and there’s a lot of resources online.

I was able to start making some basic things in rust (like an ascii-rendered brute force n-body simulation) with the help of a few google searches after just like 2 days of messing around in my free time. I’m sure reading kernel stuff requires much more advanced knowledge than what I have but it’s really not a large barrier.

variable width extrusions are great, you can get a whole lot more detail in thin areas just automatically now

There’s also tree supports (usually less material and much easier to design for and remove), lightning infill (weak infill for non-structural models)

maybe some other features that i’m forgetting

Don’t they have the whole “copilot+ ready pc” branding thing now for computers with npus? is none of it actually local yet?

I have a laptop with 4gb ram that i’ve been using kde plasma on and fairly frequently it just freezes or I have to restart because I had like 6 tabs open in firefox

Although I don’t remember having that problem as much when I was on xfce, but I also might not have been using it as heavily then

I’ve never had a similar problem with chrome on chromeos with the same amount of ram, I think chrome+chromeos might be more aggressive with unloading tabs

Sometimes it does actually kill firefox but sometimes it just becomes very slow (1-2 seconds per frame) or freezes entirely for several minutes when out of memory. Might be just because the swap is really slow, but there’s just 2gb of that, why would it freeze for several minutes? (One time this was happening was when I was trying to compile llvm on two threads, I ended up having to temporarily kill the desktop environment to save ram)

Is there any reason not to? I was thinking of using nixos whenever I switch to linux on my desktop just for the sake of ‘doing it properly’. I’ve mostly used archinstall before (home server and laptop) but it seems fairly breakable because I have no idea exactly what’s doing what.

It’s not that bad but I feel like fedora’s probably a better option

It had an email for uverse at the bottom which I am pretty sure is residential? Idk

That doesn’t seem that difficult?

I don’t really stay on top of my gmail that often, but my spam folder has basically exactly the same stuff in it that my inbox has. Just a bunch of random emails from services that I signed up for an account on or bought something from and none of which I particularly care about. There’s not really much that I can tell differentiating what gets marked as spam or not either.

I got the one on the top (minus storage and ram) from a local university surplus store for $30 a few years ago. Lenovo brand but same form factor.

Not going to surprise anyone but Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets aren’t great on Linux, at least with controllers

Although that is improving!

The youtuber Adam Something is like that too imo

Edit: the actual way they do it is from things like sensor noise, it’s practically impossible to predict the random noise on a temperature sensor for example

Edit2: oh wait it’s literally just an led and cmos sensor lol (well i guess there’s a lot of processing etc but still)

The chrome tab groups were what I missed the most when I switched, so I’m happy with the change. It’s a little jankier feeling as in chrome it’s harder to drag a tab out of the group, while in Firefox if you move a tab to the end it’s hard to get it to stay in the group.

It would also be nice if any of it was themeable, but themeability in Firefox is a whole other problem.
