My bad

Wayland isn’t actually a piece of software though. It’s a protocol. This isn’t like X11.

HDR is awesome if you have the right hardware. I’ve never seen a movie look so good. Someone needs to get HDR working.

If all it’s running is a hot tub that sounds reasonable. This bitcoin miner uses over 3kW: https://www.aozhiminer.com/showroom/high-profit-110th-95th-bitmain-antminer-s19-pro-s19-bitcoin-miner-with-power-supply.html

You vastly misunderstand both what I am talking about, and how updates work on both Windows and Linux.

You don’t press shut down and then get a blue updating screen that stops you from doing anything on Linux. Go and update a Linux system and you will see what I am talking about. You run it just like a normal command or program.

Also yes they update the files on the drive while the system is running.

Pretty much all artificial neural nets I have seen don’t do all or nothing activation. They all seem to have activation states encoded as some kind of binary number. I think this is to mimic the effects of variable firing rates.

The idea of a neural network doing stuff in the background is interesting though.

A large data centre can use over 100 MW at the high end. Certainly enough to power a swimming pool or three. In fact swimming pools are normally measured in kW not MW.

What sort of differences are we looking at exactly?

No Windows doesn’t do atomic updates in the background, that’s why there is the whole installing updates screen on reboot or shutdown.

Fairly often if it wasn’t for the whole fast startup thing, which isn’t present in Linux land. I would say at least every couple of weeks, which is good enough for updates.

Other systems like ChromeOS and Silverblue do atomic updates in the background and then switch on next restart. No waiting at screens like this. Heck even the conventional Linux update system, while far from foolproof, doesn’t require waiting like this.

I think he means the cat

Cinnamon isn’t that lightweight. You will probably find KDE uses less resources.

People argue that systemd is too much like Windows NT. I argue that Windows NT has at least a few good ideas in it. And if one of those ideas solves a problem that Linux has, Linux should use that idea.

It’s actually closer to how macOS init system launchd works anyway, not the Windows version. MacOS is arguably closer to true Unix than Linux is anyway, so I don’t think the Unix argument is a good one to use anyway.

Huh?

You can pretty much just install Mint or Pop OS and go. There are a lot of options (I would argue too many) but you can ignore most of them as a beginning user. No one should recommend arch to a beginner and anyone who does should be shot.

Also are you on a mastodon instance or something?

Yeah it’s a shitty thing for them to do

Using Linux is hardly a project anymore, unless you want it to be one. Plasma is just an interface, you can get many distros with it if you want including Fedora, Debian, OpenSUSE, Kubuntu, Arch, and so on.

Man I hope so but you really never know these days

Plenty of alternatives to Windows lol. Try a different industry.
