Had an Asian guy with perfect straight hair wishing his was curly. Protip: you fucking don’t. It’s hard to deal with and take care of. It literally has its own will. Gel, mousse, pomade, literally nothing can tame the fucking curls. It dries up in seconds for no reason. seriously where does all the moisture go? It frizzes literally no matter what. You do not want this. It is not aesthetic. you literally just want to be pretty and get lucky hair genes.
accomplishing nothing IS taking your time and recharging. whoever fooled you into thinking you need to be productive every waking moment is a boot licker
Tech posts and memes are this or rage bait and nothing in between.
“x is the way to do y” “x language sucks haha!” “x language is so good haha!” “x language has so many packages depreciating haha!” "don’t use x do (extremely archaic/impossible way) it’s the only way dude!!”
it’s even worse because tech YouTubers do the exact same thing with popular libraries and frameworks, it’s all ragebait (always has been outerspace meme)
“I’m about to shit my pants from eye contact with strangers so I need clothing with printed letters to convince you otherwise”
Extremely based
meanwhile Windows users: let me drop into this random strangers discord who claims he will make my PC faster by dropping this .bat file that will run thousands of commands to “debloat” my install. also let me edit the registry and add random values to keys that I don’t know what they’re used for. this process is basically irreversible because I will inevitably forget which keys I’ve edited over time, wow windows is so simple and easy and intuitive 🤡
functional programmers when they look at their code 2 years later
There’s lots of valid reasons for this.
Imo the biggest one people don’t account for is this: Dev salaries are incredibly high. if you want fast performance the most optimal way would be to target the platform and use low level native code, so C++ or Swift.
It would cost you like 20x more than just using electron and it will cost you bigly if you have multiple platforms to maintain.
So it turns out having 1 team crunching out an app on electron with hundreds of dependencies is cheaper, naturally that’s what most companies will do.
Don’t want to use electron ? Then it’s kind of the same issue except this time you’re using Java and C# and you have to handle platform specific things on your own (think audio libraries for example). It’s definitely doable but will be more costly than using a cross platform chromium app.
I don’t regret any of this one bit, you look them up and it’s always someone shilling products extremely hard while doing extremely low effort content like reaction videos or streaming Minecraft.
Impossible
My piece of advice if you have 2 drives, and this goes for any OS not just Linux.
that way you can wipe the first drive whenever you run into anything or you want to change anything without being worried about losing data
make sure your browser is using a password manager so stored passwords don’t vanish
Yeah. it’s dogshit but they certainly have the capacity to improve. it’s clear where their priorities are: milk users for profit
I think Windows could be a far better OS than Linux if Microsoft gave a single shit. Instead they want to add AI and recall and various invasive updates.
The only thing windows has going is the market share.
A mistake people make very often is to conflate the distro with a “look” or “theme” to the UI, and it’s not their fault.
Distros bundle a desktop environment which contains many applications used to navigate the computer graphically with things like “file managers” such as Windows explorer for example.
A DE can bundle lots of programs or very few and these programs differ in looks and functionality, not only that but these programs can be installed / uninstalled regardless of what distro you’re using.
In short: distro doesn’t affect DE but must distros bundle a DE based on things like philosophy, functionality or maybe just looks.
There are many DEs which is why I suggested installing CachyOS as part of the installation shows you options, you can try them out rewipe the drive, try out another one in less than 3 minutes. So it’s the perfect sandbox environment to try new things. I guess you can use VMs as well, not sure how well cachyos works on VM.
As a personal note on DEs when I first used Linux about 5 years ago I used KDE plasma because I thought it was the most windows-like. But I had many issues with KDE, chances are if you use your search engine you’ll see similar complaints about it which I likely share.
5 years in the future my favourite DE is basically using Sway and a file manager like Nautilus. Sway has Swaybar as a status bar and that’s really all I need.
Not sure if Sway counts as a DE though, I think it’s a window manager first and foremost.
but on the other hand if we tell you to use an used Thinkpad you won’t like that either right ?
RX 9070 when it comes out, Mint is good but there are so many good options. I suggest using cachyos and trying out all the DEs so you pick something you like. Although you don’t have to stick with CachyOS if you don’t want to.
can someone explain to me AMD’s strategy? they’re waiting for Nvidia to release the 5000 series for weeks before releasing their own? how does that make any sense
well… what do you browse ? all has like 2 hours worth of content for me a day at best
likely because you aren’t accounting for bullshit taxes or convenience fees
Nintendo titles are on PC. See: emulation.
