For a power user that is programming all day. And compiling. Linux is a very good solution as well.

I'm running all my games under Linux using wine or via Proton. Either way no windows for me. Never.

Thanks :)

Sorry to hear that. Try fundraising instead.

Well. It's funny I read this. Since I just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_rzYnXEQlE about refactoring the entire source code of Super Mario 64. It's insane how much effort modders put into those things.

It's better to buy a harness. Since the neck of a cat is not strong enough.

ow now I see.. Your cat is so very nice and fluffy I didn't notice that first. But I think you're right, you already have a harness. Sorry :)

It's 30 degrees celcius in the Netherlands today. It's insane.

No it's true. Amd has much better linux support using the kernel modules. Which get a more stable and up to date experience under Linux.

Better and more stable than Nvidia drivers.

Better in better performance and more dedicated time and effort from AMD developers towards the Linux community.

Effort = a vigorous or determined attempt.

attempt = an effort to achieve or complete a difficult task or action.

Still existentialism related.

thermostats not really.. Smart fridges most likely yes.

Yea sure those DIY projects will use Linux for sure.

Is there any intention to fix printing?

This has been an issue for a long time. I’ve been trying to avoid Chromium based browsers, but Firefox seems to be unable to print a lot of web pages without cutting off the content between pages. This is Firefox specific, as it doesn’t happen with Chromium browsers. It’s really a pain in the ass when I need to print...

Also try to play with "More settings" options within the print pop-up window. Allowing you to scale the page or use a simplified version or try to rotate the page to landscape, etc.

The Curiosity of the human mind is the weakest link.

I fully agree with you ;) .. Although a lot of animals are curious as well. But I mean it's one of the weakest links in terms of security. The human is the weakest link.

Within the binary of the file *

1911 which translates to 777 in hexadecimal.

In Unix's chmod, change-access-mode command, the octal value 777 grants all file-access permissions to all user types in a file.

I hope the low res images are more slick and simpler. Since the icons are indeed a bit too detailed.

melroy,

Fully agreed. I use it since 2010

I don't think we should allow those drones in the first place to be honest. The west is becoming more and more like China.

No it won't resolve the HTTPS and DNS centralized issues.

Gaming laptop with good Linux support?

A similar question was raised some day’s ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I’m searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game’s and also native Linux...

melroy,

The word 'gaming' together with laptop in the same sentence will never work.

Me too! I'm using my phone for more than browsing, but it will my next phone!

melroy,
melroy avatar

ah.. I will flash it with a custom rom anyway from day 1 :D

melroy,

melroy,

Anyway I preordered

My current phone is a Lenovo P2 from 2016. I'm waiting 7 years for this upgrade.
