Not to pretend I know it all, but have actively been using Linux on desktops and normal laptops for years now and I do have to agree.

Those old Macs are actually quite hard to get working right (fans, touchpad etc).

It is not impossible, but it takes quite an investment.

But Macs aside, nowadays a lot of desktops ánd laptops install flawlessly though.

Amazing and heart warming to read! Sometimes all it takes for things to change are the actions of an individual!

Jeez you really are full of it.

Nevermind. Have fun playing by yourself.

The “star construct” you mention and hang an entire theory on is just a German language construct. It has to do with gender but not the way you imagine it to be. Just gender as a language construct (German is full of gender constructs).

Maybe I made the error of explaining your post with the typical US “there is only one gender” stance which is so irritatingly omni present on youtube nowadays.

But if that was not your intention, it might also be an error to call me nationalist. I am not. I am all for gender inclusivity. If you are as well we have no beef.

And PS: yes, you are still an asshole.

And why would you care? You are obviously not German (otherwise you would know that the shit you post is BS) and obviously scared about inclusivity (because you worry about how other people call themselves).

Get a life.

Provided this is not a joke, have you considered that this might be a coping mechanism? Almost the same way that people cutting themselves is a way of coping with stress or depression.

I would recommend talking to your GP or a psychologist.

The biggest bonus to the democratic world stems from just one individual. And the rest of the world believing in his idea.

So never say that just you cannot make a difference in this world.

Because you can!

This is just a sales pitch. We wants featuress in our pocketsess.

Prepare for the Nvidia card to be a pain in the ass, if so, maybe running the official driver on a LTS version of Ubuntu is the best option here.

Been at Ubuntu for a couple of years but I was pleasantly surprised when I went back to debian. Sticking to that one like shit on shingles.

Totally off reddit. I have seamlessly replaced one with the other.

And the CPU + RAM upgrade.

Buying a modern cheap low end card might give you the same or better framerate tha_tn this legacy card.

And steer away from Nvidia.

…so now we are discussing not speed again but ease of use.

Not everything with an R in it is faster than C. Read up about it. Everyone says so.

I’m out.

while C has to fiddle with void* and function pointer to get similar flexibility, which are much harder to optimize, as none of the type information is there.

I thought we were discussing speed, not ease of use?

Spout Lore!

Thank you for sharing your linux journey!

I’ve been toying around with linux since the old famous slackware distro!

I have used Windows professionally, later switched to Mac, but my desktop (my main driver) has been linux for a long time.

I run it the way I am most productive with it (yes, Gnome, don’t hate me, but liked xfce before that).

I like the way everything is customizable, light weight and… free.

Some of my favorite communities are so big, being a part of the discussion is like pissing in the wind.

I dig the analogy and had to chuckle.

I’m on Voyager (via the app store) and it is wonderful (and free)!

I agree that some communities are quite empty, but I found that the techn savy communities are quite large and well maintained (selfhosted, linux and such).

Although the read is arguably shorter, i have more time in my day as a result of that. Not missing reddit at all ATM.

Aside from that I think C is more performant than C++ (indeed when you use the bells and whistles that C++ offers), you are comparing the libraries with each other.

The fact that the implementation of one random std::Sort is faster than the implementation of qsort() is comparing libraries, not the languages. You are comparing the algorithm of the Rust Sort with quicksort (which is obviously the qsort you are referring to.

I am certain there are sort implementations in C which outperform Rust.

Having said that, I immensely enjoy Rust because it forces me to think about the error handling and it does not give me the quirks of C/C++ (index out of bounds, memory corruption).
