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.

It’s time to move on, all the cool kids are driving wind stars now

I’m sure there is still 32 appeals to go before anything actually happens

If you know anything about Lenovo you would know that if ARM laptops started to have high market share they would have like 35 mediocre models on offer in a year.

Some of the think pad lines are still good but their consumer offerings and a couple of the think pad lines are trash.

If you were a good manager you would have the skill to successfully manage that and everyone would be happy

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.

There is an argument to be made that he is promoting that stuff and in doing so spawning a litany of less scrupulous copy cats.

I’m not sure he is the egg of that particular variety of content.

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.

Windows decline has nothing to do with any of the actual features.

It is declining because fewer people are buying PCs anymore. Every one is using a mobile device or tablet.

This is also the reason they are squeezing windows harder to make up for the down turn.

It doesn’t give you super powers.

Though he would basically be a datacentre with all the bill gates microchips in him.

You might say he was very svelte

The word cancelled has lost all meaning.

And it has a helmet, they will be fine…

I see hick hop a lot

Half the time it would just be a Sysco product list.

It took me a while to realise this because by the time I learned about Debian they were already well into the secondary characters.

My favorite part remains naming the unstable release “sid”.

I suppose it depends on how you define content. Usually when people post it includes some discussion. Those types of posts get drowned in the bot posts however.

I don’t have to start studying on a round number but I do need to stop procrastinating on one. It’s just how it is, I don’t make the rules.

You want dancing baby? This is how you get dancing baby.

I’ve been on Linux for a while and at this point must people use their computers as glorified thin clients for Chrome.

This has made Linux way more viable as a day to day OS. Valve is working very hard to make games viable and is seeing some success.

The major blind spots remain industry specific software outside of software dev. Things like Adobe suite and Microsoft office for example. They often have a Linux equivalent but it rarely fits well into industry standard work flows.
