I’m on the spectrum. I can process reading way, WAY faster than I can process someone just audibly speaking to me. That shit’s actually helpful. I admit, it doesn’t need to be in the center of the video though.

“See honey, I told you they ain’t real.”

You think having a fake online name will stop them from finding out who you are? Did you even pay attention to the Snowden leaks?

Lindows II: electric boogaloo.

This is not the first, btw.

Too late Broadcom. You dun fucked up.

Milking customers only works if they can’t go anywhere else. Too bad dozens of different virtual machine hypervisors exist. Docker is also a thing (I know it’s not a VM but it more or less serves the same purpose).

It’s alright, I program C++ and barely understand this shit either. Kernel/OS devs are a different breed.

These sorts of tools and knowledge should be free and open, so people can test their own systems and learn how to defend against them. They aren’t inherently bad themselves. As with firearms, it’s all about what you do with it.

Hiding a potential exploit from the general public does them no good.

Let it be. The people designing the OS most likely know better than you or anyone else in this thread. I know the urge to “tweak” things is strong, but some defaults are defaults for a good reason.

You’re gonna get some framerate drops for sure. The Steam Deck internal screen is only 1280 x 800, which is how the games run so well on mobile hardware. That’s as high as a monitor from the late 90s.

According to Beeks, OpenNebula has enabled the company to dedicate more of its 3,000 bare metal server fleet to client loads instead of to VM management, as it had to with VMware. With OpenNebula purportedly requiring less management overhead, Beeks is reporting a 200 percent increase in VM efficiency since it now has more VMs on each server.

Salt in the wound for VMware.

Are you…not familiar with standard program menu bars? Am I that old?

As a Millennial I make it permanently visible, because that’s how programs worked in my youth and that’s how I use it. I have to actually spend more mental energy using the “hamburger” menu instead of the top one because it’s unintuitive to me.

With the old style, things were always more or less grouped the same way. File IO operations in “file”, manipulation tools in “edit”, help topics in “help”, and so on. If you learned the basic layout, you could easily jump right in to most programs and use them immediately without having to learn a custom UI that is different with every program.

Firefox, GCC, VS Code (sorry, but Microsoft actually made something decent there, and yes, I do feel dirty using it).

People use Windows because it’s easier

No. People use it because it’s what came with their computers (look at ChromeOS, that’s Linux), and it’s what they grew up with. If you sat a kid in front of a Linux machine, and that’s all they ever used, they’d be just as comfortable using it as a Windows user on Windows. I still have technical MS-DOS knowledge from when I was 12 years old. Totally useless skills now, but it didn’t stop me from using computers in the late 80s. Computers were orders of magnitude more user-unfriendly then, but we all managed.

Might want to give it another shot these days. Gaming has become exponentially better since then with Steam’s Proton software. Still not perfect, but being able to do 90-95% of them ain’t bad. The last technical hurdle is games with kernel-level anti-cheat.

I found that switching to Linux made me able to understand both OSes better, and computers in general. Half of my computer science knowledge comes from screwing around with Linux.

You can still dual boot to keep self-teaching yourself latest Windows concepts so you don’t fall behind there, while experimenting and learning on Linux in your free time.

Now if they can fix the bug where once in a while I click to a tab and it doesn’t switch to it unless I minimize and maximize again, and needing a restart of the browser to get rid of that behavior…
