Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Technically you could just netboot a kernel and initrd, then mount a root filesystem via the network
So you don’t even need a drive in your computer
Not sure why you’d do this outside of very specific appliances but it’s an option
Yes! - or - Ask me later
This isn’t consent, it’s pestering and in a relationship would be abusive
On my computer…
Microsoft: There’s no such thing
It’s now “this computer”
On my computer
Microsoft: that’s where you’re wrong kiddo
I think you mean our computer comrade
Red Star OS intensifies
I am having this fight as we speak…
I switched to Fedora KDE. Literally looks better than windows and doesn’t have all the BS. Lightweight and it honestly works well. Aint ever going back.
Well its KDE, that is why it looks good. Gnome in comparison is better than windows ui but KDE is one of the better Desktop managers. DMs are usually separate than the OS but do come preinstalled in a lot of distro flavors
Gnome is just a Mac lookalike for those switching to linux from that walled garden.
I’m actually a big fan of the Gnome workflow on laptops. When using a mouse i HATE Gnome but when using a trackpad? It has no peers. It’s entirely designed around gestures. three fingers up to switch apps, side to side to switch desktops, up a 2nd time to get the apps page, etc. I do wish it was more customizable like KDE but it’s my go to on a laptop simply because I can’t stand using a trackpad with anything else.
Gnome in comparison is better than windows ui
I haven’t tried 11, but IDK, for me Gnome feels like it’s trying to be futuristic while being a deranged cross between an Ipad and a fisher price toy.
But then again, macos or whatever the fuck they are calling it looks like that, but less futuristic
Every time I touch a Windows computer, after 5 minutes, me hacking on the keyboard: “Why 🔨 Can’t 🔨 I 🔨 Just 🔨 Do 🔨 This 🔨!!!”
Then I have to explain to my coworkers (where else would I touch a Windows computer) that I’m actually a very leet hacker, just on a different OS 😳
“Do I look like I know what a one drive is? I just want my pictures on my god dang hard drive!”
Edit: For anyone who might not be familiar with the scene in question.
Edit2: Or the meme version.
Sif not 10 hour hotdog
I just want a picture of a got-dang hotdog.
You mean “This Computer” they renamed it.
“this PC”
You’re right.
Recently started using a Win11 machine at my new job. Fuck me is file explorer a pile of shit. Remove gallery and onedrive links… wtf do you mean I need to use the registry editor to remove/hide some things on the side bar of file explorer?
And why do I need two links for usb stick?
Adobe does the same exact fucking bullshit
You can hit F12 to save documents locally in Office applications, it bypasses all the Onedrive trash
“Look at what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power!”
Microsoft are now automatically syncing the documents folder to OneDrive too, that’s how they get you.
It also hides local folders in explorer now if your have OneDrive (which my employer turns on).
This is funny, after X years of working professionally as an IT guy in a Microsoft 365 environment, I have started to rely heavily on OneDrive and I feel worried if I save work stuff outside of it.
At home I don’t use it, but I am working on building a NAS to have better storage.
Well for sharing and collaboration, yes, but for a file I alone work with, I rather have that on a zfs hosted network drive.
Also of course if I have to represent and I have a surface hub available, maybe then.
But really, I dont want onedrive to be first option. Only if I so choose.
