  • Stack of floppy disks: Am I a joke to you?

  • Honestly, a better solution would be an open-source IODD-type device, because sometimes I still meet old devices which do boot via USB DVD drives, but not flash drives.

    But Ventoy is a second solid choice, especially with newer devices, where such limitations are basically non-existent :)

  • Is there anyone here who uses BSD on their desktop?

    Jump

  • I personally have tried FreeBSD and some FreeBSD "distros" on the desktop, and have used BSD-based stuff as servers/single-purpose machines.

    As a desktop system (user-centric use case), you notice how hardware support is sometimes problematic, especially on laptops. I personally had problems with NVIDIA GPUs, already a problem on Linux, being a big problem here as well, and don't mention WiFi (FreeBSD doesn't support 802.11ac and up currently) or Bluetooth. Software-wise, if your applications do not have a BSD version, well, then you are relying on Linux ports, which for desktop use isn't exactly great.

    But, in servers/headless setups, BSDs are shining, with the most important things running rock-solid, stable and resource-friendly.

  • Wait, they own Hermes? That explains quite a lot...

  • Isn't it kinda sad that one has to rely on third-party articles to even understand the package manager/OS one wants to use?

  • Don't worry, the next "mandatory" cumulative update will take care of that, even if you aren't installing it yourself.

  • Found this on the web years ago

    Jump

  • But isn't that behavior actually documented in the Arch wiki? At least when you manually install it, it lists packagekit-qt6 as being "not recommended".

  • It is, if your priorities are to tinker even more with your computer. (nix configs, etc.) :)

    Using non-tech analogy, it is like having a "project car" to tinker with and a "daily driver" to get to and from work, if you are a car enthusiast.

  • Someone needs to be reminded that anticompetitive practices are illegal

    Jump

  • sadly not, but GPUs (at least those I used) do not support that over HDMI as well, which is kinda frustrating :/

  • KDE Goes and Does It (Double-Click By Default, That Is) - OMG! Linux

    Jump

  • I personally also welcome this change, as I have changed that setting anyway and of those people I know, they also changed that behaviour immediately. But as long as you can change it and it isn't forced on you to only use one method, it's great.
