I’ve had some issues with Linux, but none that I can attribute to Wayland.

It’s 4, isn’t it?

The relativistic effects would be so small in human terms that the clock could just be synchronized with Earth time once daily and nobody would ever notice.

It allows the drive to be used more quickly. If you’ve ever tried using a computer while the disk is at 100% usage, you’ll have noticed that anything you do that requires disk access slows to a crawl. With DRAM on the drive, it takes more to overload the drive and makes smaller transfers nearly instant, as data gets buffered into the much faster DRAM rather than directly to the SSD.

Like I mentioned though, in most cases the average user won’t notice a difference. If you really want to squeeze a bit of extra performance out of your drive, that’s where you’ll want the DRAM. If you’re just trying to get old laptops running well again, it’s basically a non-factor.

In most cases, DRAM-less makes little difference for the average user. The biggest difference is for very large transfers, like copying large games between drives. Either way, it’s an easy 3-to-5 times performance upgrade compared to an HDD.

Surely you mean a slot-based CPU, of course. All my cool friends run Slot-A.

I use my whiteboard for swap.

Aw yeah!

Imagine if you suddenly get cornered by a runaway bull. What would you do without a cape?

No problem, I’ll bitmap it!

I think that’s Kool Aid.

You Linux users sure are a contentious people!

The RK3566 and RK3588 alternatives are pretty good, and there are a bunch of them from different companies.

I have a 3566 myself as a compatible alternative to a CM4, and it does its job just fine.

I assume the issue was the bulb was getting assigned by DHCP the same address that was supposed to be reserved for their PC, thus their wifi appearing not to work for their PC.

The software itself should run, but the installers themselves use different standards. I’m pretty sure you could set up your own distro to use installers from different one, though it may require some work.

The meme is about running a non-Debian distro and finding only .deb installers.

If the file itself is shared, you can probably mount the iso as a drive on the client computer and play it as a dvd.

Proton is a translation layer that uses Wine and other tricks to allow you to run Windows games on Linux. It’s a Valve project that is making a ton of progress on compatibility. It’s a huge part of the success of the Steam Deck.
