Why would it need to encapsulate that Git is a pull/push model ? What the name should do is describe what it is, and it is a call for reviews before merging, so “review request” or “merge request” are names that would make sense. When web interfaces weren’t used, it made sense to ask for reviewers to pull for reviewing, but now it’s a minority of them that are pulled by reviewers.
Me and my brother were talking to each other
About what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born?
We just couldn’t understand
(note: this ended up being long, but I promise it’s worth it to read)
Learning to use Linux is as easy (if not easier) than when you learned to use Windows, and you probably did that when you were younger, even less experienced with technology, and didn’t have the benefit of comprehensive online help resources.
To start, the main thing to know is that unlike Windows or MacOS, the Operating System “kernel” (the bit that actually handles the core tasks of an OS which allows software to run on your hardware which you don’t ever need to understand) does not have many of the usability features you associate with Windows or MacOS such as the Desktop Environment, default programs, apps store, etc.
Instead, Linux comes in different **“distributions” (“distros”)**which facilitate all these things. So it’s more accurate to think of a Linux distro as analogous to “Windows” or “MacOS” rather than just Linux.
The awesome thing about this is that while they’re all similar enough that almost anything you learn will be applicable to all of them, the variety of options means you can find one that works well for you. So when it comes time to try Linux, here’s what to do
Pick a Linux distro that is super non-tech user friendly. If you want to have it chosen for you, just “Linux Mint” (but also look into “Pop OS.” Both are very user friendly)
Search for “How to install <name-of-linux-distro>” on the Internet
Follow the most official guide you find
Done.
Then, once it’s installed, any time you want to learn how to do a thing on it that isn’t intuitive to you, try the following in order until you get useful results:
Search for "how to do <thing-to-do> on Linux"
Search for "how to do <thing-to-do> on <your-linux-distro>"
Make a post on a distro-specific subreddit, Lemmy community, discord server, etc asking how to do the thing
Realistically, #1 & #2 should solve all your problems unless you’re doing complicated stuff, but #3 will almost always solve the rest.
Also, welcome to the club! You won’t wanna go back, trust me :)
The reality is that those people just run Windows 10 (or even 7) until WELL after updates have stopped being pushed. There is a narrow window of people who care about updates who won’t upgrade (because EOL for Windows 10 is 2025), but they are very much the minority.
And of those who care about gaming? You are likely already running “ps4/x1” levels of hardware and we are going to be seeing the refresh SKUs late next year (probably). So it is even more likely that an upgrade will occur.
That said: Linux Mint is pretty much plug and play for most people. Hell, I reformatted my parents’ laptops to Linux Mint and they still think they are running Windows but I have fewer weekends of “Okay, time to do tech support until they start blaming their viruses on jewish space lizards” because they can’t break it. And with the ever bigger push for Steam Deck support, most games, once you enable proton (which is a checkbox), “just work”.
Sehe in letzter Zeit immer wieder, dass Leute diese App gern verwenden. Wusste gar nicht, dass die so weit verbreitet ist. Hab Unendlich damals auch schon für Lases verwendet und jetzt natürlich für Lassmich
Very true. There are obviously some community projects, but no doubt, official software would be better. Or even better, if they would make it easy for the community to develop those tools.
Yeah all jokes aside this is a actually pretty big loss for the scientific community. Assuming it’s completely unrecoverable. We blew our chance to actually measure the conditions in interstellar space and see if it lines up with our theories, and another probe is not only not planned for the foreseeable future by any space agency, it will also take decades to get to where Voyager 2 is now.
Edit: Nevermind, see the other comment. It’s likely not permanently lost!
Some on the old functionality isn’t there yet, like tabbed browsing of subs/communities. And it lacks some core lemmy stuff like blocking. It does, however, cover everything you need for basic scrolling and enjoying. Infinity was never my top reddit app, but it was still great. I think, if development of this version keeps up pace, it’s going to become very popular.
