Solaar does work to change it, it’s just that I have to go back and change it again every time I plug it in to charge, and then once more when I unplug it.

Looks like OpenRGB doesn’t list my specific mouse but does support the wired version, so maybe I’ll give it a try.

Do you by any chance know how to configure Solaar so that the LEDs don’t change to the default pattern every time I plug or unplug my mouse? It’s the one annoyance I’ve run into.

This feels like an exercise in Goodhart’s Law: Any measure that becomes a target ceases to be a useful measure.

One example is Civilization VI, where the Linux build is several versions older than the Windows build, and one of the DLCs just silently doesn’t install unless you force Proton.

Congrats.

I gave it a go just now and noticed an issue in the unit one vocab. You can get the prompt “to open” with both 開く and 開ける as options. Only one of these will be considered correct, and it’s a coin toss which one.

Also I got achievements for mastering all (N5-N1) kanji with 80% accuracy when I ended the session.

There’s an argument that BSD would have been dominant in that case. It was bogged down in lawsuits claiming that it was pirated Bell Unix at the time, but they were dismissed not long after.

The arrival of Linux also slowed development of the GNU Hurd kernel, so that’s another possible contender.

In the sense that PC stands for “personal computer”, yes.

But PC has historically been a shortening of “IBM PC compatible”, which makes certain assertions about system architecture. In this sense, x86 Macs are PCs, but others are not.

Ubuntu circa 2008 it is, then.

I don’t have hard data, but if my experience is at all representative then you’re much more likely to be able to run a 25 year old Windows program on Linux than on Windows.

I have a pair of Bluetooth earbuds that I sometimes use with my laptop. The actual BT connection goes smoothly in the KDE ui, but they don’t show up as an audio device until I restart the audio service in the terminal.

I’ve had some system updates lately that reduced disk usage.

It’s difficult to imagine that ever happening on Windows.

The fun thing about this meme is that the film showed SGI’s fsn file manager running on IRIX.

I think the most obvious example is loop unrolling. An unrolled loop can be many times more code, but runs faster because you’re not updating a counter or doing conditional jumps.

More respondents use Ubuntu than Linux

wat.

In general it seems odd that they’ve got Windows and Mac as monoliths, while the various distros are broken out individually but “Linux” is apparently not an aggregate.

Similar for me. I switched back in May of last year intending to dual boot as necessary until Win10 EoL, and it turned out it was never necessary.

The main thing anchoring me to Windows was gaming, and, despite hearing about it, I didn’t really understand just how good Wine had gotten since I last used it.

Python 3.14

πthon.

Watch me run that in vanilla wine the SAME WAY

I mean, sometimes I have to use proton-ge or -experimental instead. (The horror of interacting with one dropdown box!)

In Oregon, at least, everything below the high water mark is public land.

In my experience running the Windows version of the mod manager in the same prefix as the game also works.
