  • Debian 13 Trixie release planned for 2025-08-09

    Jump

  • Novice question: Couldn’t you have switched to Trixie months ago and also don’t have to change to Stable? I thought that would give the same result.

  • Infallible Code

    Jump

  • No, no, I would convert the number to a string and just check the last char to see if it was even or not.

  • KDE Devs, I Love You, But Please Remove This Feature

    Jump

  • But you don’t see all the people that does not ask for features, but could benefit from them. I worked IT support for years and I often suggested features or different workflow to users because I could see they were doing things that could be done easier.

  • KDE Devs, I Love You, But Please Remove This Feature

    Jump

  • Except that if people don't know the feature exists, they might not ask about it. If you see the feature exists and you don't want it, it is easier to figure out how to turn it off.

    There are many feature that are turned on by default - this is just one of them.

  • KDE Devs, I Love You, But Please Remove This Feature

    Jump

  • Everything in the desktop is a gimmick... remove all visible things of the desktop and only show apps. Settings can be handled in a text configuration file. Or are some of these gimmicks actually useful, even for "experts"?

    I have many times, installing a new app on a Windows Server, just gone in and seen the latest installed app and clicked on it. Sorry, that is my best example as that is where I most often use this feature - I don't install that many apps on my desktops.

  • Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?

    Jump

  • Even with uncertainties, it gets close to 100%

  • What's the best distro for a windows user with some linux experience

    Jump

  • Quick note: A new major version of Debian is expected to be released this summer (northern hemisphere), within a few months.

  • Microsoft is is bed with Google now, in a worse, more OS-integrated way than Mozilla was [in bed with Google]. This timeline sucks.

    Jump

  • You log into your Google account so Microsoft can take your browser data into Edge, especially the bookmarks and passwords parts so that you automatically sign in to your favourite websites, when in Edge. Microsoft also offers to copy data from your Chrome profile (on your computer, do not signing in to Google) on a periodic interval, so that any new data that comes in Chrome (bookmarks etc.) shows up in Edge. The whole deal is that Microsoft copies your Chrome experience into Edge so you won’t notice that Microsoft in a random update changed your default browser to Edge again. Google don’t want this as it’s only Microsoft that stands to gain anything from this. Microsoft is using all kinds of tactics to gain more users to Edge and hope these users will use to Bing to search.

  • Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux on

    Jump

  • I started on a DX2 66 MHz with 4 MB RAM and 420 MB HDD. 4 x 1 MB modules. Later upgraded to 20 MB RAM (added 4 x 4 modules) and a 1.2 GB Matrox HDD that need an extra driver to be used. With 20 MB I created a RAM drive, copied Doom to it and ran it - loaded real fast but frame rate was horrible.

  • Which distro does Linus Torvalds use?

    Jump

  • Fun video that shows Torvald is not the best person to judge about if a distribution is good or bad - he’s just your average user.

  • What are the benefits of a server having multiple public IP addresses?

    Jump

  • 300% optimise! Give this coder a raise!

  • What is cheese called in your language?

    Jump

  • I read the title like “What is Chinese called in you language” and got confused by people’s answers.

    “Ost”

  • Distro for a new user

    Jump

  • Nah, do you mean like those windows xp ones that banks use, or windows 7 ones that governments use, etc? Those are obviously in a category of their own.

    No, I talk about lots of normal ordinary people that have computers that work perfectly fine, so why should they upgrade? A computer from 10 years ago runs Windows 10 easy, and would run 11 easy as well, if Microsoft let it.

  • My experience with Discord on Linux

    Jump

  • I haven’t used it on Linux, but on Windows I need to fight it to understand my headset, every freaking time the computer has been rebooted. Any other program just gets it. I feel like OP’s photo

  • Full Disk Encryption on SSD (Debian)

    Jump

  • I’ve only have Windows experience with BitLocker encryption. Slowdown is only in the start while the drive is being encrypted and even that is not too bad. Once the drive is encrypted, you wouldn’t have any noticeable slowdowns.

  • Trying to recreate a version control system for my music collection, with one crucial difference ... 🤯

    Jump

  • I like this. I would probably over complicate things with a index CSV file (or SQL) that stores checksum values of files to identify renamed or moved files.

  • How to (actually) choose a Linux distro

    Jump

  • Thank you for opening my eyes to a mixed possibility of distributions. I have dabbed your comment for when I got some more time to fiddle with my machine

  • Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?

    Jump

  • Hmm, seems that you might be right. I haven’t tried but remember that there were both rpm and dep packages, however it looks like after Teams 2.0 came, the native packages are no longer a thing.
