I’d love to meet the engineers who work on these “features”. How do they go along with this shit and sleep at night?

State of S3 - Your Laptop is no Laptop anymore (blog.jeujeus.de)

In this article, I aim to take a different approach. We will begin by defining a laptop according to my understanding. The I will share my personal history and journey to this point, as well as my current situation with my home and work laptops. Using this perspective, we will explore the current dysfunctionality of the standby...

This is the result of Microsoft being so cozy with hardware vendors.

Once I switched to Linux full time I stopped using pirated software entirely.

What $10/yr vps are you using?

Any suggestions for cheap but decent laptops for coding?

I’m currently learning how to code (currently Python, then maybe JavaScript), but I’m not always around my desktop, and learning on my phone is not always an option (also, it can be quite cumbersome at times). Therefore, I’m looking into purchasing a laptop just for learning how to code and stuff....

You sure about that?. Where does this myth come from that Lenovo cares about Linux users?

const_void ,

You’re the one that made the claim that they’re the “only mainstream brand that cares about Linux”. It’s up to you to prove it.

const_void ,

“clean install” is Windows-user logic. Doesn’t apply to Linux.

I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI

I’ve been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn’t take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced...

const_void ,

Lol, people are using Brave?!

Can we stop using the Steven Crowder meme already. The guy is a total chode.

Sorry for your loss. I went through this myself today. I’m devastated.

Also the headphones have two cables on one side

[Rant] A few days ago, I asked if Mint would run okay on a Lenovo T460 (I appreciate all the advice). I got it working, but the installation was a big pain and I totally blame Lenovo.

I got the T460 refurbished and I really didn’t want to run Windows 10 on it. I last used Linux for any real length of time a good 20 years ago, so I’m pretty inexperienced with it at this point and I had to figure out how to install it myself....

const_void , (edited )

are they just kissing Microsoft’s ass?

This. 100%. It’s why I don’t understand folks recommending Lenovo laptops to run Linux on. Lenovo is in bed well Microsoft and caters to whatever they want. SecureBoot, modern standby, etc. We need more vendors supporting open source firmware like Coreboot.

Edit: feel free to refute me instead of just down voting.

Enterprise Linux on desktop?

Anyone using enterprise Linux on their desktop such as RHEL, Alma, Rocky, CentOS etc.?

I'm curious if it's easy to use for this purpose or if the older packages are a pain.

@linux

const_void ,

Fedora is probably the closest you can practically get.

const_void ,

It’s not reasonable in any language

const_void ,

I bet there exist some Linux installs out there with a different shell than ‘bash’,

100%. Alpine is one such distro.

Knights among toner cartridges (infosec.pub)

(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights.

Linux for desktop market share surpasses 4% for the first time, says Statcounter (www.neowin.net)

Statcounter, a website that tracks the market share of web browsers, operating systems, and search engines, is reporting that Linux on the desktop has over 4% market share for the very first time (Statcounter records ChromeOS as a separate operating system despite being based on Linux). Statcounter doesn’t provide any...

const_void ,

Based on what?

const_void ,

Better to just buy a System 76 or Framework.

const_void ,

We have nothing but problems with the ThinkPads issued by my IT department. Multiple models. They’re not what they used to be.

const_void ,

The problematic models we have are all T series.

const_void ,

Agreed. Most Youtube thumbnails are cancer. Bug eyes with mouth wide open or pointing at something. Enough already.

the only OS to make sense really

How does it make more sense than Fedora KDE?

const_void ,

Interesting. I didn’t realize it was structured this way. I thought it was similar to NixOS for some reason.

Correct. It’s a combo of powerdevil and ddcutil. invent.kde.org/plasma/…/CMakeLists.txt#L67

Why are people so antsy to see others in person?

I WFH, every year one of the goals that the rest of the team decides is that it’s “so great” to see each other in person. The past few years haven’t worked out but one did.

I’ve never understood how this is good for Linux. Why is having more users so important?

const_void , (edited )

But why do we want more proprietary software running on Linux? Wouldn’t we be recreating the same situation that Windows has?

Edit: Why downvote me instead of replying with a reason why I’m “wrong” or discussing further? Is Lemmy turning into Reddit already?

const_void ,

This seems like wishful thinking to me. Is there any data that supports that with more users comes more FOSS developers?

What hype?

Nice, I wasn’t aware of the Waydroid support

My graphics card BIOS chip malfunctioning coincided with my Wayland desktop glitching out

I have a 6900 xt GPU of which had random crashes for a month, I then decided to load a new BIOS on to the board and found that the chip was not reading at all. Dual BIOS so no issue. I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip then turned on my PC to find all applications that used electron to render were crapping out making...

const_void ,

I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip

How did you determine it was faulty? What did you replace it with? How did you flash the new chip? This story doesn’t make sense.

const_void ,

Awesome. I used this pretty often when overclocking CPUs and GPUs. It really generates stress.

const_void ,

Really loving seeing more hardware supporting and shipping with open-source firmware.

const_void ,

It even tries to make you feel bad for some relatively innocuous prompts.

This is the darkest part of these. Google and Microsoft are now controlling what questions you can even ask and if they’re not the right question you’ll get a stern lecture. What in the actual fuck?

Still using my Pixel 5

Another successful OpenBSD setup

I've been buying these little boxes from AliExpress for years to use as firewalls and routers. My oldest one is almost 9 years old now! OpenBSD installs just fine. Just a BIOS tweak to always boot up after power is restored.

No and they don’t provide the source either. Makes you wonder what’s running in there.

Sure as long as security isn’t a concern

As @floofloof stated:

The only concerns are that you don’t get BIOS updates, and you don’t know for sure that there’s nothing nasty in the firmware.

Also interested in this. Currently in need of an imaging solution that’s less clunky to use than Clonezilla.

Is the “restore media” universal or do you have to create a new USB drive for each computer you want to restore?

Linux has relatively few terminal options compared to Mac and Windows

I don’t think so Tim
