Because having more ticked boxes than the competition sells. Doesn’t matter if it’s of any relevance.

Jeez, next time just use a knife my dude.

So I downloaded slackware on dozens of disks.
This is no joke. When I downloaded Slackware in '95 or '96, it was over 100 3.5" floppies of 1.44 MB each. And there were still more available, those were just the ones I thought I’d need. And before you could even begin installing, each of those had to be downloaded, written and verified because floppies were not terribly reliable.
FWIW, it’s working with FF 123 on Kubuntu as well.
Die vergelijken de volgende keer gewoon weer partijprogramma’s en komen dan opnieuw bij BBB uit 🤡
It’s maddening. The power of propaganda is truly impressive.
Transferring /home directory without reinstalling Linux?
After running low on storage space on Windows 10 I have considered upgrading to a larger drive, 2-4 TiB. With my switch to Linux I’d like to know if there is an easy way to take all my files from my previous drive into the new one with all the correct paths configured, without reinstalling Linux?
I can see this meaning a number of different things:
you want to move your home directory to a separate partition: You can just create a new partition and move your stuff there. People have suggested rsync, and that’s fine. Personally, I’d use mc (midnight commander) for that because it’s easier.
you want to know how to transfer your future home partition to a future bigger drive: You could do as above, or you could use clonezilla for that.
you want to transfer files from your old Windows setup to your new Linux system: You can just mount an NTFS partition and do as described under point 1. I’d be wary to write to an NTFS partition, but reading from it works just fine.
Hmm, I’m fewer sure of that.
A reboot will make whatever processes that are still using those deleted files let go of them. Maybe that solves your problem. If not, ncdu will help you find large files and directories.
It’s the sum total. SSD’s would have become the success they are today if it were localized.
Can confirm, have a cat and don’t have that issue. Because I lock the screen when leaving the machine unattended.
Even LibreOffice can only recover what has been saved. And if autosave is off, there might be less to recover than desirable. Again, that’s a UXD problem.
That’s why I lock my machine before walking away. That’s + L for those who don’t know.
Btw automatically saving is a generally undesirable feature as it could reduce the lifetime of ssds, slowdown the system if the file Is big or stored on slow media like network.
I don’t know what kind of files you write regularly, but even the smallest and cheapest PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive can store data at 600 megabytes per second or more. That’s plenty fast enough for my office documents at least. And you can rewrite the entire contents of the drive a hundred times or more before it fails. So I wouldn’t lose any sleep over having autosave on.
Eventually people will have to get new hardware. That’s the moment to avoid nVidia, that’s how simple this can be.
Also, the problem is nVidia giving shitty Wayland support, not Wayland providing no nVidia support. It’s nVidia who has to write the drivers since they themselves opted to keep their implementation details a secret. There’s nothing the Wayland people can do except plea, beg and shame. If nVidia then decide not to care, then I say fuck them.
The first effects could be witnessed thirty years ago. But it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. That’s why the fossil fuel industry has moved the goal posts and introduced the “climate change is of all times, it’s not caused by us” talking point, as demonstrated by Victor. But Victor is behind the times, the new one is “yes, we caused it but it’s not a big deal”.
Not GP, but: Realplayer compressed everything to hell, the quality was absolutely atrocious. I believe it was buggy as well.
Quicktime was a behemoth that took ages to launch. To speed things up, it liked to auto-load and be active in the system tray, slowing system start down even further and taking up precious ram on the off chance that you might want to watch a quicktime video. It also liked to register itself as the video player of choice for other formats, because why would you use a decent player if you can use a shitty one that was made by Apple? Fuck quicktime.
My son’s Windows laptop did the same. Turns out there is a setting to make Windows truly shut down when selecting “shut down” from the menu, because normally it secretly sleeps or hibernates or something to have faster start-up times. There’s also the power another device via USB option that you may have to disable in BIOS / EFI settings.
