Add a fold-down console that locks into place safely in the middle.
Best of both worlds.

Introvert vs extrovert

Mine don’t even show up as minimum. I game on a Thinkpad.
Doesn’t keep me from playing those games. Granted, at low settings, 1280x720 resolution and 25 FPS, but the story is still the same.

This isn’t like a phone OS where they add ressource-draining new features every 6 months.
If your computer can run the OS at installation, it’ll be able to run it for a long time.
One good reason not to use Arch is if you have a limited internet connection.
Updates are often 1 GB or more per week, depending on what you have installed.
So if that’s an issue, Debian is the better choice.

That’s not what I meant. I meant that yes, there are technical ways to get around this garden wall.
But only a very small percentage of users will know of it, or dare open a terminal to issue adb commands to their phone.
So the majority will be locked out of open and free app stores despite the technical possibility to keep using them.
And with fewer users, there will be fewer developers and fewer apps available.

Yes, but forcing all users to do that will kill off 90% of the market for F-Droid.

Yeah, I’m definitely gonna need lsd for this.

Maybe look it up in a dictionary if you don’t no.

Your spelling is actually really good for an orc.

Here’s an explanation of the context, without the gory details or NSFL original image:

I ducking hate today’s tech.

Not for men. It was in fashion for young women and kids only.

Some things still don’t work on Wayland.
(Like screen sharing with Anydesk, as an example I ran into yesterday)
But at this point, I just replace the thing that still requires X11 with an alternative, or find a different solution.
X11 is dead tech. Wayland has its own issues, but it’s better than X11 in almost every way now, actively maintained, and it’s the current standard.

I have a cat who likes to hunt insects, dust mites, shoe laces, and charging cables at night.
And she’s pretty clumsy.
My list of approved house sounds is very long.

That’s nice, dear.

That’s the result of 30 years of hard work and suffering! Windows was always supported by hardware vendors, meaning THEY supplied drivers which you’d then have to install on Windows.
Linux never was, so Linux devs had to write their own drivers for every hardware and put them in the kernel for you.

Brother’s HL-printers are fully compatible with Linux.
In Mint, it’ll just show up as installed as soon as you connect it to the network.

Antivirus in the classical sense is an outdated concept anyway.
Nowadays, if you want to protect your system, you need endpoint protection that supervises everything with system-level root access and only allows whitelisted processes to run.

To set it up, I have used an LLM for instructions, so don’t listen to me for derails.

Mentioning LLMs is a great way to derail threads on lemmy.

Systemd is a great operating system, all it lacks is a kernel.
