I use Linux for years and still Google every time I have to use it!

Yea, sometimes new problems need new solutions and the old architecture can get fundamentally outdated!

I admire your effort but there are a lot of people in the open source community and especially on Lemmy that just don’t want to understand it, I try not to argue with them but they are fucking everywhere with their trashtalking of various amazing open source projects!

Damn, that sounds like a really annoying issue, good luck finding a solution!

I prefer vanilla Gnome on Fedora too but Mint dose some things really well. Their update manager is nice but that’s a Debian tool, their file manager (Nemo) on the other hand is something I still use, I just prefer it to Nautilus.

I love and use Fedora but I still think Mints update manager is the best GUI implementation I ever used for updating, it has all the essentials, is easy to use and looks nice.

We never lost any “ild system” and the rebooting is probably how your distro implements updates, I use Fedora so mine often wants a reboot but that’s definitely not the norm on Linux as far as I know and I never had a device turn back on on it’s own…

It depends on the distro I am on, if I use Debian or a derivative I usually prefer the Flatpak but on Fedora I only go with the Flatpak if I run into issues or the rare outdated package because I don’t need them, I would certainly miss Flatpaks if they didn’t exist tho!

It’s not really lost ether tho, just add a simple bash alias and you are ready!

You don’t really need much of a script, a relatively simple bash alias should do the trick and for new users the GUIs are a better solution anyway and those still update all apps.

The GUIs do that in a even easier way for new users and experienced people can always just add a simple bash alias, a universal command never existed anyway because we have various different package managers on different distros so I don’t see any lost feature whatsoever tbh

Apple intentionally builds their devices to not be repaied, there is a BIG difference in technical constraints because of a lack of space and intentional decisions like sothered SSDs with a swap partition (RAM overflow on the storage drive that causes tons of writes) by default or a special storage architectures that has no benefit over existing solutions except that noone can buy replacments. It’s not like you need a bulky Laptop for user servicable parts ether, the Framework Laptop isn’t the thinest on the market but it’s certainly not bulky and if even a small startup can achive that imagine what amazing devices Apple could build if they invested a tiny bit of their money in repairability, and if it’s just the part they currently invest in to the opposite!

That’s a respectable age for a Laptop but nothing special, I used and even owned multiple older devices from various brands like Lenovo, Asus and HP and you just got lucky that you aquired the Pro rather than the Air with it’s “high quality” Butterfly keyboard that apple build into four or five generations with minimal tweaks that didn’t fix the breakage and only covered two of them!

The majore issues are, even more moves to restrict repairability on purpose than already common in the industry, refusal to pay for mistakes till lawsuites force them to do so and a history of majore desing flaws in countless products. Louis Rossman dose a good job at showing that, ewaste is a little harsh but I think it’s unfortunately very much appropriate in this case, just my opinion tho.

I won’t deny that, they got the edge in terms of ARM CPUs but that doesn’t make those the best Laptops on the market, it’s literal EWaste and judging from Apples history that thing probably has a few desing flaws that will lead to breakage with no coverage from their site too. If you ask me you just got your priorities wrong if you buy one of those but I am one of those privacy freaks too so call me crazy if you want.

I don’t see the point, very few people who buy this device for Apple will ever want to do this and we definitely shiuldn’t promote that piece of garbage, a single look at the iFixit score or a teardown video tells everything you have to know!

I don’t know if “modern european” is a good way to put it, I kind of think it’s a result of the cold war, never made a lot of sense and was enforced by the arrival of neo liberal ideologies in european governments afterwards but that part is just a quick throught so don’t quote me on it. You are definitely right that there are different definitions tho, one of them just also seems to reframe the word liberal which makes absolutely no sense to me. In the end they are all flawed and the biggest issue is that no matter which you use extreme ideologies like neo liberalism and backwards thinking aka the “modern” definition of conservative attempt to frame themself as the “middle” which is dangerous af and makes no sense ether so it’s a rather pointless fight with a third party as winners! :/

You are kind of right in that the devision (at least in the traditional meaning from France) has two pillars, you have the authoritarian one siding with kings and nobels vs elected officials, freedome of speech and equality in a social (none economic) sense and you have the economic devision aka little state intervention to the market and redistribution vs the state as protective force for those who need it with stuff like strong worker rights and wealth redistribution. In short the traditional meaning of “left” is socially liberal but not market liberal which is a majore reason why I dislike the American attempt to split between left and liberal so much, if you are left you have liberal ideas and that’s the part where Hexbear wants to frame me as somehow market/neo liberal wich is plain wrong!

You can’t argue with human garbage! ;)

Please all report this disgusting peace of shit, just wtf is wrong with humans?!!!
