It’s good they put it up front though. There can be a lot of entitlement with oss users sometimes and setting expectations can help alleviate that.

That wouldn’t necessarily be bash though

You’re missing the last step, throw out the windows drive.

I mean a paint spray gun is basically that…

And yes

It’s a reference to a specific Internet connected adult toy called a lush3. Cam Girls and only fans people connect them to their chats so the fans can control how much it vibrates. Since it’s Wi-Fi connected it has a tail that sticks out to improve the connection.

These threads are always hilarious. People are not switching to any kind of desktop. They are moving away from PCs entirely. There is an entire population who only use a phone as their computer.

Microsoft still make the surface pro

They (and every other tech company) have been doing this type of thing for nearly 20 years. You might see some whinging about it in some corners of the Internet, like here, but most people don’t know or don’t give a shit.

It sucks.

If you like KDE your night find endeavouros with KDE pretty good. It is an arch derivative so it is rolling release, if that is acceptable then I would say give it a try.

I mean if you asked me what Pinocchio’s father’s name was I would have said Geppetto

Endeavoros is approachable.

There is an ISO somewhere that sets out color blind colors for accessibility.

Hopefully you don’t live in the US where your insurance company can buy that data and use it to deny you coverage or raise your rates.

They already do it with cars why not CPAP machines.

Maybe check out Kagi’s ultimate tier. They let you swap between some of the different options to see which you might find useful. As a bonus you also get kagi search which can be useful.

There are more rolling release distributions like tumbleweed.

I use endeavour because I like Arch but don’t need to be bothered installing it the arch way more than once.

It really comes down to if you are trying to use newer hardware or not. Debian based systems usually run fine out of the box on older systems.

For newer hardware your going to want new drivers and kernel versions which you get with a rolling release distro.

Over the network can be hit or miss but the usb cable and the drivers from the AUR have yet to fail me

I’ve been trying fin Droid which works well but it’s definitely a work in progress.

This is reported as a percentage and that’s what is tripping people up here.

You are not seeing a drastic rise in Linux usage you are seeing a large decrease in the use of desktop computers.

Linux is increasing because the only ones left using desktops are Linux users.

I mean that is true but there is some nuance.

At one time it was a cheap way to protect your site from drive by scripts and make your users help pay for that protection.

They still work in that way on say the comment section of a tiny WordPress blog because the cost to solve them isn’t worth what a random boner pill ad is worth.

The issue now (made worse recently by LLMs) is that more bots then ever are scraping any and every thing so people are putting captchas on every bit of every web app content they have. This increases the work of your users while it only slows down the bots. The hope is that the cost to solve is slightly higher than the value of the data.
