I just installed openSUSE last night and I was thinking at the time about how crappy and dated the installer is. I mean, it does the job if you know what you’re doing but it certainly doesn’t even try to make it easy for anyone non-techie.
I’m not really a fan of Calamares, I think the whole concept of booting into an OS and then using it to install another OS is a bit weird and could confuse people.
I don’t think it’s ever going to happen without corporate backing. Maybe community run efforts can afford to have a few volunteers do some coding in their spare time, but volunteers don’t generally want to work on the boring stuff like the polish that users expect nowadays, and they’re never going to be able to run things like R&D, focus groups, etc, to get ahead of Fortune 500 companies. All they can do is see what works and copy, that’s basically all the community developed stuff has ever done.
Look at ChromeOS, it’s already got more users than Linux. If the Year of Linux ever happens it’ll look more like the Year of Chrome
According to the Wikipedia article they changed their mind and decided to stay on LiMux.
I’m no Windows fanboy but I have to use it quite a lot, at home and at work. I don’t know what versions or settings you guys have set up but I’ve never had a Windows update I can’t postpone, ever.
Most people think UNIX and Linux are the same thing so this makes sense. Obviously to us they aren’t but for most people it really doesn’t matter. I’m sure they’ll still sleep at night.
I knew a guy who did this and had to fly to Germany to fix it because he didn’t want to admit what he’d done.
Honestly, it sounds like she’s overdoing it on the production quality of her videos if it’s costing her $3500 per 20 minute video. It’s just YouTube.
She also says her best video got like 350,000 views, I’ve seen crappy reaction videos that get more than that. And Google takes 2/3 of the ad revenue for everything she makes.
What about VMware Workstation Pro? Or are you looking for something FOSS? It’s easy to download without creating an account and I found it easier to setup that VB. I actually switched because I’d been having connectivity issues with VB and it took me a year to realise it was a VB issue.
Where do you live that you’re getting raided by the police? This sounds like one of those situations where they might use the wrench technique.
I don’t really see the point. If someone’s trying to access my data it’s most likely to be from kind of remote exploit so encryption won’t help me. If someone’s breaks into my house and steals my computer I doubt they’ll be clever enough to do anything with it. I guess there’s the chance that they might sell it online and it gets grabbed by someone who might do something, but most of my important stuff is protected with two factor authentication. It’s getting pretty far fetched that someone might be able to crack all my passwords and access things that way.
It’s far more likely that it’s me trying to recover data and I’ve forgotten my password for the drive.
Funny you should say that, I always felt like the defaults are really bad.
I created my own openSUSE splash screen for KDE because I felt all the existing ones were a bit amateur and I wanted something professional looking. I haven’t published it because I can’t be bothered creating an account. It only took about 15 minutes because I chopped up another one which had clearly chopped up another one.
For the record it turned out to be because I hadn’t set write permissions to the hardware for my user because ChatGPT told me I only needed read permissions to be set up. This must be the first time since its conception that AI’s made a mistake.
Not rootless but I can see the device, and even in privileged mode it doesn’t work. I’m currently trying to find a docker image I can run as root and prove the Coral is working.
I’ve been trying to get Frigate working, on and off, for about eight months now. I’ve got a Debian server but it just won’t detect my Coral TPU inside my Podman container. Since you need such an old version of Python to test the TOU I can’t prove it’s working in the host so I don’t know if the problem’s with the drivers of either my container setup. I vowed to get it working over the Christmas break but it’s still not there.
How’d you get Haswell working? I run vainfo and it complains that it can’t recognise the chip but I’ve followed everything on the Debian wiki. When I google the error all I get is people complaining about it being the result of a bug and the responses are usually from developers promising to look into it.
I remove anything by KDE and find an alternative from the 21st century.
I also install Janus as my text file editor, which is a Windows Notepad clone.
The upside is that I don’t scroll down my feed and see the same post 20 times.
I get what you’re saying but surely a lot of these problems are already present. You can ban a user but they can just go create a new account on a different instance and go back to posting wherever they want.
Personally I’d like to see some kind of tracking thing so Lemmy’s aware of duplicate posts and then the client can be configured how to behave according to user preference.
I was totally surprised over how much I loved this game. It was free on Epic a while back.
