I’ve been dual booting Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) for a while, and sadly I’m back on Windows after a month and a half of exclusively using Linux. The reason? Ethernet. I need to assign a static IP to a dev board with Ethernet, and while it works fairly easily on Windows, it just doesn’t work on Linux, saying it’s unavailable in the nmcli output.

Of course, Windows is worse than before. It hasn’t fixed the bug where it never updates the system time, forcing me to manually press sync on every boot. And it hasn’t fixed the newer bug where my laptop display needs to go down to 768p to display 300Hz, making me to go down to 60Hz to use the full 1080p resolution. All the while Microsoft pushes things nobody wants.

At least it lets me reboot on my own time… But it is seemingly required to update some packages.

Not quite true on my Ubuntu system. It offers to update stuff every 2 weeks (slowest time that isn’t “never”), and then wants a reboot at the end…

This reminds me of my “Linux island” city in Cities Skylines! I can get screenshots later, but basically there’s the main island of the Linux distros/districts, where the outer parts are more noob friendly and the inner parts are more “advanced”, with the nearby, considerably more crowded and poorer Android island consisting of various Android ROMs.

Nobody’s mentioning the system monitor taking 227MiB?

Because you’re coding “based on vibes,” not logical thought.

Using AI to generate code without fully understanding what the code is doing.

With the cryptid mod you probably can

Arch seems so interesting because you install the system component by component in the command line but I’ve heard it has poor long term stability. Is there a distro that’s like Arch for installation but more stable?

Vulnerabilities are flaws in software that may allow an attacker to gain control of or eavesdrop a system.

They are categorized into low, medium, and high severities based on how easy it is to exploit the vulnerability and how much damage a successful attack utilizing that vulnerability would do.

Wait, this isn’t satire?
