  • Each new technology immediately raises two questions: how do we destroy it and how do we use it for destruction.

  • The year of Linux Desktop is here!

  • [Unpopular Opinion] There are too many distros. The diverse distro-landscape hindering Linux adoption.

    Jump

  • My feeling on this is that or the "general public desktop" use case we have to defer to corporate supported distros (RedHat, Ubuntu, Suse), because they have to work with hardware vendors that are typically averse to the idea of sharing driver code, and you have to make sure your desktop runs smoothly on your average PC.

    I don't see it happening, honestly.

  • Exactly. I need Debian, Alpine, Manjaro, OpenWRT, MoOde Audio Player, Lakka and SteamOS.

    They all serve different use cases. That's the beauty of it, the utter flexibility to turn it into whatever you need because you can.

  • Maybe its because Cameron is not one of my favorite directors. I love T2, of course but I can't say the same about Titanic because (you guessed it) I still have not watched it and also didn't buy into the hype when it was released. I remember that movie theaters were booked solid for weeks and you couldn't get a ticket. No movie is that good or justifies that kind of hype, so I have skipped it so far.

  • I've seen this opinion voiced quite a few times for the last 28 or so years I've been a Linux user.

    Guess what? It's free and open source software. People work on what they feel like when they feel like if they feel like. You can't mandate "let's just have a couple of distros, think of the public!". It doesn't work like that. Yes, life is not perfect.

  • It is sad to see the mental gymnastics people do to justify their inertia.

    "It's opt-in!"

    "You can disable feature X easily by editing the registry"

    "You can install this tool from a shifty site to restore that feature MS disabled"

  • Somehow I'm pretty sure Google already had that information. You've never used Google Wallet to pay on the go? No? How about your Android keyboard to fill in some banking form?

    I always wondered what a dunder chief is.

    I sometimes listen to KEXP, I discovered it along with a lot of other interesting radios using the Garden Radio app.

    My favorite is a NZ radio called Brian FM.

  • I stopped playing because it is a bit too hard for me. I keep getting killed by spiders. Maybe I'll give it another go.

  • I'm sure you're right, there's not enough CPU power to transcode on that old CPU, but I'd say it's enough to stream some data. Hell, I've done it using an old Core2Duo Sony Vaio laptop...
