If you're on NVIDIA or KDE, you may have been thinking that this Wayland thing is just not working. For those of us running Intel on GNOME, it has been a smooth ride for a long time now. So, we just have vastly different experiences.

ThinkPads DO come with Linux preinstalled. They offer Ubuntu and Fedora Linux. They are also certified for RHEL.

I have the same Logitech keyboard, but I don't recommend it. The touchpad has no multitouch and scrolls terribly. For what we paid for it, you'd think it would be better than that. Beautiful design and solid feel otherwise though.

The fact that you need a group policy to turn this kind of garbage off is ridiculous.

staticlifetime , 10 months ago to linux in Are there any advantages of using Rust instead of C in the Linux kernel?

It just depends on how isolated that part of the kernel is. Unsafe code should be done only in interop, and so it still theoretically has a memory safety benefit over C in that sense.

In terms of how much interop code needs to be written for Rust at this point is another discussion though.

You could decrypt a GPG key-based file to do that.

Didn't you see the slave labor clause in there? You're indebted for at least 3 decades when you start a new GPL project.

power-profiles-daemon is now archived? Dammit, that was a big one for Fedora.

staticlifetime , 11 months ago to linux in What is your opinion on GNOME 3 and 4? Why do you like/dislike it?

GNOME is opinionated and beautiful. Lots of focus on reasonable design instead of massive amount of customization. It also has a great app ecosystem and documentation. I love it.
