Probably depends on the store, but the 2 times I bought a laptop in my life, both stores had a No OS option in the drop-down, which brought the price down. (One actually came with no OS, the other came with FreeDOS IIRC for some reason)

You are trying to get your displays to work since 2003? Damn…

I saw your other comment, still funny

They don’t fit in his luggage (or would be smashed) so that’s the easiest way to take them onboard. Maybe purchased as gifts to relatives.

Yes it’s misinformation that you have to disable the sshd with a kernel boot parameter, because no sshd is being run in the first place.

They know. But many people will look at the screw, see it’s some weird thing they don’t have a screwdriver for, and decide to take the car to an authorized dealership instead of trying to repair an issue themselves.

Some will just buy the special screwdriver. But that doesn’t matter, what’s important is that some won’t, and the line goes up. You also have to look at it as yet another small barrier to repairability. It’s not stopping you by itself, but every single barrier adds up and stops more people.

Yeah what I need is an alternative to xprop and xwininfo.

I would love for you to dispel the problem I wrote about: how to find the list of open windows (and whether they are focused or not), for time tracking. I don’t believe kdotool can do that, from what I see.

There are still many things that don’t work on Wayland, which work perfectly fine on X11. If you don’t need any of them then Wayland is perfectly fine, but many people do need them.

For example programs can’t read from or interact with windows of other programs, so for example a time tracking application can’t work, or productivity scripts using xdotool don’t have a Wayland way to work.

Both of these use cases are needed to me.

I think if you can apply by just clicking an “apply” button then I wouldn’t expect much attention from their side either, how are you doing it? On some job seeking platform?

Every time I applied somewhere I had to spend some time customizing my CV to the job listing, researching the company to write a compelling cover letter (and to find out if I want to apply in the first place), and probably filling out a long form on their application portal. It takes at least 30 minutes per company, which is quite a lot of work when sending many applications.

But the concept of just being able to click “apply” somewhere seems weird to me, sure, saves a lot of time, but then is anyone even reading your application?

I rewatched the series finale now, and his conclusion seems as I remembered:

• He had great experiences gaming on Linux
• His kids used it too without problems
• “freaking amazing”
• “totally stable, no crashes”, he was playing multiplayer with a friend a lot
• Remote Play Together from Steam works great too
• He learned a lot, will give it another go in the future
• But it’s not for him yet as a big VR lover
• He really wants Linux to succeed because he hates the Microsoft monopoly

He didn’t even bring up his issue in the conclusion. If you can timestamp any “fuck Linux”, I would love to see it, because I really doubt he ever said that.

That being said, while it’s obviously his fault for ignoring warninigs, it’s ridiculous something as basic as installing Steam got him into that situation in the first place, it’s pop os’s fault for shipping a broken package.

Yes, once Billet changed their mind after not liking the review, they mistakenly sold it and paid them back.

Uhh, he promotes Linux at every step? You are free to dislike him and his content, but he’s absolutely a force for Linux adoption.

The explanation made sense to me. They found Honey was stealing from creators, but still saving money for users, so it would be very self-serving to make a fuss about it, instead they only let other creators know. From the users point of view it was still a great product (from what was known at the time).

This is true, but the CEO change had nothing to do with it. It was already happening before any of the drama, due to Linus wanting to have more time for making videos instead of having to manage the company.

That’s what most people took away from the drama. No one looked into it later to find out was made up because that’s no longer interesting. As is usually the case with Internet drama.

(Emails eventually came out showing Billet Labs told them to keep the cooler, and then lied about it)

Sure, but having to deal with that could certainly be annoying to someone who just wants to use the computer that’s already turned on.

Because they use the same PC?

No you can’t. The only way to turn off PRs on a public repo is to migrate away from GitHub.

It’s fine! You were trying to show how Windows is better because you can’t make a mistake like that and succeeded!

I’m joking

No, the US isn’t a democracy either
