Eh, in terms of UI and shortcuts, Plasma is very close. If you sit a Windows poweruser in front of Plasma, I’m quite confident they will feel right at home.
That’s actually how I got introduced to Linux. Then I discovered the Settings app. Fast forward: EndeavourOS btw.
Ya know, Signal has been audited multiple times. It’s OSS. IT sec elite has looked at it and says it’s sound. If anything is plausible, it would be your device spying on you rather than Signal.
What’s weird tho is how people think this has anything do with messaging or data privacy. This is about Telegram being used as a public platform. They can’t force Durov to decrypt anything, nor do they need to, because they already know your groups…
There’s a solution for that tho: Tags. If you have sane (default) tags, you type ‘terminal’ and konsole pops up. And I feel like KDE mostly has that.
You should almost always use amd_pstate=guided/active
on anything newer than Zen 2, although Arch Wiki says active
is the default since kernel 6.5. Even if it doesn’t seem to fix the problem, it’s the preferred way to run those CPUs (if it works). guided
+ conservative
scaling governor might help. Maybe it’s just a reporting bug tho, wouldn’t be a first for AMD.
I find it kinda sad that KDE is attempting to stop it’s series of K-puns. I suspect that some app names are/were intentionally bad. Like Kcalc instead of Kalculator? Kome on…
Bruh, you can’t just submit entirely new data structures as “fixes”, let alone past the merge window.
It should not be hard at all to grasp that.
I probably should try NixOS, but I’m tempted by BlendOS
You can select GTK themes under:
System Settings > Colors & Themes > Application Style > Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style
For Flatpaks you need to run
pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
Support is limited tho.
It’s mainly supposed to be simpler and by extension faster than btrfs (which is kinda proven by the fact that fewer devs made this thing work in less time when compared to btrfs). It happens to enable some extra features that way too.
However, while btrfs annecdotally had many issues, it’s used by big players like SUSE and even bigger ones like Facebook these days. bcachefs on the other hand is nowhere near as battle tested, so I’ll stay away from it for a little longer.
Let’s go full guerilla: Plugin that lets you select the first and the last frame of an ad, thus allows to report the beginning and length to a synced database. When that frame is found in the buffer, skip X frames ahead.
For ergonomics, the plugin should be able to spot cuts in the video so you can easily select the correct frames.
For resilience, maybe settle for similar frames. Thinking about anti-abuse, maybe require a minimum number of reports relative to the views (and ofc allow to not skip stuff).
They are the second largest “Linux company” by revenue after Red Hat iirc

I don’t hate Windows for work. On the clock, I am balls deep in their ecosystem and I can’t say that it’s not working. However, that’s probably because I get it mostly set-up by IT!
Casual reminder that on Windows, it’s the norm to go fetch packages from the fucking internet using a web browser and give them root access to your system, including drivers…
A lot of settings are still scattered as well, with stuff randomly hidden away, completely
unconfigurable or named so it’s not at all clear what it even does.
For everyday stuff like browsing, I totally do not see why people would want to use Windows.
If it wasn’t for (some) ((multiplayer)) games and other Windows-only software, I wouldn’t recommend this OS to anyone at this point.
Is there no electron wrapper around ChatGPT yet? Jeez we better hurry, imagine having to use your browser like… For pretty much everything else.
You know, the answer to captions like that is to 99.9%:
Yes*
*Under laboratory conditions and for a very specific use case / a whole lot of money, once.
The reality is that billions are poured into developing faster computers and change is happening gradually, because low-hanging fruits are gathered even before they are ripe.
I think overall they are not better or worse than other tech giants. They try to be the platform for blank and thus to push competitors out of the marked, or lock it down so they can’t enter. They try to extract as much money from their customers as they can, even if it makes the user experience worse. They push the boundaries of what the can legally do. They charge you, but you don’t own anything.
What really grinds my gears is how they try to force stuff on me that I don’t fucking want. I feel like they are completely different in that regard than for example Google. I use Google Maps because I want to. I don’t use Chrome because I don’t want to. It’s that easy. They don’t ask me to reconsider, they don’t make it super complicated to switch, nothing. I can disable any Google App and forget about it.
To stick with the Google comparison, I also feel like Google informs me better and gives me more control regarding my data. This feels much more hidden on convoluted in MS products in general. For example I had no idea Office is basically spyware before reading about it elsewhere. In Google-land, they seem much more upfront about what they use and what I can opt out from (or in to).
People try their hardest to make computers your friends. Don’t be afraid to talk to them 😊
tldr: Linux can have driver issues and programs or updates might not work as expected. So anything you can expect from any major OS.
