On Windows or Linux?
On Windows or Linux?
I’m doing a CIS degree right now, and I did 99% of my first year on fedora. I did need a full windows install because some exams took place using a lock down software.
Honestly, the hardest part was remembering to boot into windows the day before so it could update and stabilize for the exam the next day
Ive had great success with their all amd systems, and older machines go on sale often, so you can score a Ryzan 6850 w/ 16GB of RAM for 700-800CAD if little else matters.
DXVK. 2016 was when I moved to Linux as my primary operating system because with DXVK, most of my games ran overnight.
Edit: Oops I missed the mark, DXVK occurred in 2018, I was off by two years. My bad.
I like niri, but I’ll be damned if I can get any kind of stability out of it. I’ll have myself a flawless time at home testing, but as soon as my laptop enters University Grounds it stops launching apps, or crashes, or whatever else.
Right now I’m using Gnome/PaperWM since Infinite horizontal has changed my workflow so dramatically, and Gnome is more stable for me.
This will be the single biggest change you can make. Swapping an hdd for a cheap 256gb ssd will make a bigger difference than any DE changes.
It’s a three thousand dollar monitor, what did they expect?
Baseball was all white people even he was a kid, I wasn’t expecting him to have a ton of progressive ideas.
Wild that he drops this video right after I had a conversation with a friend all about this. Now I don’t have to explain how Microsoft has been handicapping ARM for years.
This is the frustrating part of it. The public doesn’t understand what’s actually happening, or what the goal of these large language models is, so because they’re very convincing conversationalists, your average Joe considers them as true AI.
I’m using nobara right now, but somewhere over the last year my bluetooth has stopped working.
This has led me down the road of a reinstall, nobara had been great for gaming but now that I’m looking at spending more time developing I’m also looking at an immutable os.
There has been some really enlightening discussion here.
Bittorrent is nice for getting isos, but it would pul my hair out if I tried to download patches with it.
If it is not sensitive data, and you’re okay being morally objectionable, you can buy a large hard drive from some place with a good return policy, transfer your data to it, format/repartition your drive, transfer everything back and return the hdd for a 15% stocking fee.
I mean yeah, but also that’s the worst dystopian nightmare I’ve ever heard.
“How can I change my desktop background?” “There are four ways to change your desktop background, which would you like to hear more about?”
These clowns can’t make all your settings in one place.
I use fedora on my thinkbook with Gnome/PaperWM and my upgrade experience was ezpz.
Rabble. It’s themed with my other devices, Pibble, Pabble, and Ribble.
“It’s a Rust based…” You son of a bitch, I’m in.
It’s a requirement for my Business Comms course to use Word, to the point where the prof will walk around to ensure you have Word open. The online version is awful and often drops sentences when I type so I dont use it. I could never get the darn thing working over WINE or Cassowary, so I have a VM that basically just runs that.
I’ve enjoyed my time on fedora. It’s recent enough that my hardware works when I upgrade, and stable and supported enough that I haven’t had to go out of my way to get something working.
