Going out in public in your pajamas.
How difficult it is to find fresh produce in small shops (food deserts)
How much fat is in all the meat.
How old and badly maintained many of the roads and bridges are (I am from Africa, so that says something)
The levels of national arrogance.
I don’t have much of a problem with the small open source projects that are generally very good at filling gaps or addressing niches.
I think most of the waste is coming for the development done by the large open source houses. The canonical and red hats of the world. They should stick to what they are doing well, which is the foundational stuff.
I think it should be: “Software that is yours”
Overall, I think more focus should be put on consolidating similar projects.
Do we really need 6 different window managers that follow the same design logic?
Do we really need each major distro to have its own package manager?
How many image and PDF viewers do we need? How many music players?
Can we convince Ubuntu that no one wants snaps and they are wasting developer resources.
The freed up capacity should be focused on better windows app compatibility. Something akin to Valve’s push in gaming.
For me the main difference is Linux only does something when I ask it to.
Windows does whatever Microsoft wants it to do.
Both have major usability issues. But Linux gets a higher tolerance level, because of higher trust levels.
It’s an AMD machine, lspci sees the devices. It just can seem to initialize it, sometimes. Every now and again it just starts working if the machine was unpowered for a few days.
Intel ax211 was the first one. Ax210 had same problem, as did the ax411.
But the bug has something to do with how the motherboard initializes the devices.
They all work fine in other laptops
Even 6.9 does not have the fix yet. Seems one of the two bugs is on roadmap for 6.11
I tried 3 Different models. Seems it’s actually a motherboard issue. The same WiFi cards work fine with fedora in my laptop.
Nice! I wish my issues were limited to those fixable ones.
I have issues with sound card SPDIF not working and Bluetooth on the intel WiFi card not wanting to switch on. Both known bugs with no fixes in the pipeline.
Will need to wait for my next PC upgrade in 5 years time.
I got about 15% better minimum frame rates under Linux and only one of my recent games had issues with anti-cheat.
I think this strategy makes sense, if you do an overall push to have all software sources verified. Knowing users, a simple warning that an app is unverified rarely affects their behaviour. You need to hide the app, to encourage app developers to get verified for it to work. Users ideally should be able to trust by default, because we can’t trust them to know any better.
Exactly. Linux mint is one of the few distros that really follow through that their users may not be proficient.
It’s why it’s my business distro of choice.
We use it daily at our MSP, even for data cleanup and database work. It got a massive improvement about a year ago.
There is very little need to use excel.
She has the option of using the online versions of Excel and Word if the company uses office 365.
This was in early 2000 New York and Washington DC. Spent about a month there and saw it daily.
