Windows 11 was categorical dogshit at launch, people just seem to accept it when Microsoft shits out garbage.
There was some good stuff back in the 10 insider previews but by launch 10 was also trash. Genuinely when has windows been good after 7?
I locally host gemma 4 e2b on a very modest spec laptop to help summarize large texts, as a rudimentary translation tool, and just as a toy. It makes sense. I see small coding models on hugging face all the time, I think we’ve hit a point where it’s just too efficient not to atleast entertain a little bit of slop in your workflow.
Rad! Cool suggestion!
This looks like something I’d like. I’ll check it out, thanks!
Not too bad. Is there anyway to setup crossfade?
You probably want MATE, XFCE, LXQT, or god forbid Trinity.
Out of those, i personally find XFCE to be the most tolerable, and you can get some pretty decent looking themes setup for it. My system uses around 600mb on a cold boot, in theory I could get it down to 400mb but that comes with a good amount of drawbacks. CPU usage among all of those options is negligible.
Don’t think in terms of easy to use and unbreakable. You won’t get that because something as simple as losing icons on the desktop is the kinda thing that’ll confuse someone that’s bad with computers. Instead, think in terms of what’s going to be easy for you to fix when you inevitably have to play tech support.
Facts. XFCE should be familiar to anyone who has operated a computer in the last 25 years
This is a tangent, but I miss the days of things just working?
Why does my GPU need an entire software suite to function? Why do my keyboard and mouse? My monitor? Why does every piece of hardware need a buggy terrible gui with “features” nobody ever cared about until it was advertised to them? Up until the last 5 years I’ve never had a monitor not just work out of the box (outside of crt setups with adapters plugged into adapters)
I personally use Media Player Classic (MPC-HC). Just in case you wanted an alternative.
Do you know of an easy drop in way to convert a sysV system into an OpenRC one?
Yep! I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t care if it’s an optional component, it’ll be optional until it isn’t.
Mx linux here! (sysvinit) Just migrated away from systemd due to the drama.
Whatever your preferred matrix client is. That’s the alternative. Element, Nheko, Fluffychat, all decent options.
Is it perfect? Hardly. Is it the best you’re going to get short of some cheap discord knockoff? Yes.
Didn’t we already find out Linus is a scumbag to work for like, 2-3 years ago? Why do we still spread around his content? He’s a talentless hack that got lucky being one of the early tech personalities on youtube through NCIX
All perfectly reasonable responses to bad questions that waste people’s time tbf.
Debian. The answer is always Debian.
I like the reliable mom van example. You can paint the rims all nice, put some stickers on it, hang up your fuzzy dice. But it’s still getting the kids home from soccer practice.
In addition to that, it would be nice to see comparisons including xlibre, since it is slowly being adopted by certain distros and bsds.
