Isn’t that a BIOS setting?

Thank you.

Would this kernel work with Pop?

Thanks!

Okay thank you. Firefox does support it, but you have to change a setting to make it scroll instead of select text. I remember that from my regular laptop touch screen install. I don’t remember what the setting is, but I’m sure you can find it with a quick search.

Okay, thanks for the warning.

But you’re saying that other external devices will need to access the device directly through USB, and Wine doesn’t support the pass-through?

Hey, I don’t have answers to your question, but how is Linux working on a Surface? I have a Surface 7 Pro which is the last Windows machine I own. I would love to replace Windows on that. I need the touch screen, pen, and webcams to continue working though. What distro did you use?

What? My keyboard and mouse both work on wine apps on my desktop Arch system. Although I used Lutris, and not wine on its own.

Manjaro and other Arch-based distros don’t count

I think this has a lot to do with it. I have seen people say they use Arch before and then find out they’re using a derivative.

I have an Arch laptop that I didn’t update for 3.5 years. The system update took a while when I finally went through with it. Amazingly it didn’t break anything!

If the user didn’t read that, that’s on them. They used a feature they didn’t understand, which is part of a version control system that they also didn’t understand, and didn’t bother reading anything. If you still think they bear no responsibility for their actions then we’ll just have to agree to disagree.

Since they don’t actually have a git project tied to their files, “all changes” means “files created”. If they did have git configured then it would mean “changes since the last commit”, and it wouldn’t delete the files.

Edit: I will concede that it’s probably not immediately apparent to someone not familiar with the system that uncommitted files will be deleted if you use the revert button. But that comes back to understanding things before you go around clicking buttons that say the action is irreversible. At a minimum, they bear responsibility for not knowing what they were doing, and still charging ahead full steam.

Have you actually used VS Code, or are you just doing a bunch of research to disagree with a stranger on the internet?

Yes, that’s what it means when it says “files will be permanently deleted, this is not reversible.”

Even back in my super noob days, I’d keep known good working versions of the files in separate folders. I basically invented my own terrible source control system before I knew anything about svn or git.

Why? There’s a full git log of the files. It’s trivial to get them back. That brings us to the “don’t use the source control tab if you’re not using source control” point.

Sounds like they weren’t even using version control, and had no business anywhere near a project that size.

I clicked delete and then clicked confirm when it asked me if I’m sure I want to delete, and all my files disappeared! What the fuck?!? Fuck this fucking operating system!!!1!!1one!!!

No it doesn’t delete your files. Hombre from the post told it to delete his files and was then shocked when it did. It even warns you that it’s about to delete your files. Then on top of that, post person wasn’t even using source control, so they can’t get their files back. Don’t mess with the source control options if you’re not using source control. Don’t just randomly click buttons without reading, if your project files are super critical. Don’t only have a single version of your entire project in a single place on one computer. This person obviously has no idea what they’re doing, which is fine, but they don’t belong anywhere near a 5000 file project.

Why are they messing with the source control options when they’re not using source control? Perhaps learn about stuff before you start clicking buttons and performing delete operations on your super critical files?
