I just never slow down and take like 10 attempts sometimes. I don’t know why, it isn’t a good strategy

I have a very similar spec Asus Eee PC that I use NetBSD with i3 on and it’s fine for like taking notes in vim or listening to music with strawberry. It can also run Haiku fine which I might switch to on it at some point because Haiku is fun. Anyway my best use idea is just use it to explore operating systems you’re curious about
Honestly that’s one of the least annoying ways windows interacts with modern hardware, you should experience when it changes your efi settings and breaks pxe booting
I wish, the new dell optiplexes are terrible, not only do they not have an actual psu switch, it takes like 20 seconds of holding the power button before they turn off and then you have to wait like 10 seconds before you can turn it on again, during which time it does a really good job of pretending to be on and flashing disk activity lights and things but it’s actually just self testing and you have to wait for it to turn back off before you can actually turn it on again. Dell used to make such good quality computers but they are genuinely awful now
Last time I was using a windows computer I was turning it off to re image it and I didn’t want to wait for it to shut down so I just held the power button since it didn’t matter if it got messed up and windows popped up this message on screen that was like “Please stop holding the power button we just need a few minutes”. Like what are you doing you aren’t supposed to tell the user what to do, that isn’t the job of a computer
Also, so that a random program you run as an wheel user can’t just get root access without asking.
I just make ssh
an alias that runs TERM=xterm /usr/bin/ssh
I use Thunderbird if I’m using Plasma and Geary if I’m using Gnome
It seems like it would be useful for things like camera permissions and stuff, but it seems a little unnecessarily complicated for file access compared to just using a filechooser portal like flatpak does, then the user can just select specifically what they want when they want to without having to think about permissions.
I really like it, the ai stuff can mostly just be ignored but the ai button on mobile is really big and annoying. My biggest issue with it is that there’s no way to download documents you made using a cloud account, but I think they’re planning on adding that
For me it’s either OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or Arch and I can never decide which. Tumbleweed having snapper and YaST everything out of the box is amazing but sometimes I miss the AUR, and Zypper is so much slower than Pacman. I also really like Fedora Silverblue on my laptop but I don’t think I could use it on my main system.
Yeah I know what they’re based on, I use silverblue on my laptop. I just personally really disliked bluefin when I tried it and I was wondering if that’s what all of the ublue images are like
Yeah I feel like even if arch is a little easier to break than other distributions, it’s also way way easier to fix which basically cancels it out.
I’ve tried bluefin and it felt like when you turn on someone’s old computer they forgot to erase before giving to you, there was just so much useless junk installed. Are the other Ublue distributions a little more normal?
I just wish companies would stop cramming it into every product and making it the selling point for everything because they can’t think of anything else to do. It’s kind of fun to play with sometimes but it just isn’t useful at all for most tasks that companies seem to want us to use it for. I’m hoping it will be mostly forgotten outside of niche uses in a few years the same way we forgot about 3D TVs or NFTs as soon as the next new tech buzzword got invented
I would guess this hardware is too old for vulkan support, vkd3d/dxvk probably wouldn’t work
You can’t really toggle video or song though, you can toggle video or thumbnail to video with video audio
I don’t pay for either but I use both and the youtube music desktop ui is really really bad. Plus the annoying thing of it often playing music videos instead of the normal song. I definitely like it better on mobile though
The one change I would make would be adding a “never” button to the notification so you don’t have to disable it in the settings if you don’t want it
Or actually “Don’t show again” would probably be better phrasing
This is why I love ostree distributions so much for my laptop. Not only can I safely update in class, I once switched distributions twice in one day of classes with only like 30s of total downtime, I just waited for the professor to go off on a tangent I didn’t need to take notes about so I could reboot.
