    I was just thinking about why many things on Linux are better. Like the install process on Linux is years ahead of windows.

    Then it occurred to me that windows only improves things that can make them money. If you need to install windows, then you can deal with the crappy installer.

    Linux devs improve the parts they think need to be better. The decisions are not guided by money and can be made without bias.




  • I’m assuming you meant to say you never heard of box86, but it allows you to run x86 software on arm. I’ve never used it.

    I tried to use upscayl with just an iGPU in an 8700 and it was so slow, I wasn’t even sure if it was working. I can’t imagine a pi is going to do anything in any reasonable amount of time.

    I’m not sure, I have an old machine with 16gb. It ran fine in that, but I found a better solution for myself shortly after.

    There is an iOS extension that lets YouTube play in the native iOS browser. It blocks ads as well, so I just use that.

    The privacy focused stuff is cool, but I’m blocking ads and my watch progress is saved which is important to me.
