Yeah, that would be the marketting bs, probably.

Came here to say this. They wrote the playbook that has spelled the end or at least removedification of so many standards, open-source or otherwise(but usually still free-to-use or at least cheap).

No, we were all talking about how they use screws of different pitches, as standard pitches vary with diameter, when they could and arguably should use screws of matched pitches. Some moron read my comment on that last bit as a complaint about variations within a batch of screws of a specific pitch, and other morons ran with it.

If you believe I missed the point that screws of the same pitch, regardless of diameter, would move nuts axially(not just “vertically”, but in the orientation of the screw itself) the same distance with the same turn incriments, then you have no idea what I was saying or can’t be bothered to actually read it.

Imagine me, machining screws on a lathe, as I do, without understanding that its the consistency of the feed screw(or die if using that method) on my lathe that makes it possible. Or that I could switch my SAE feed screw with a metric one to make producing metric screws easier. Or that I could add a 127/100tooth change gear into the mix instead.

Right, I’m the ignorant one here. Machine Fabrication … its literally in my username, but no, misunderstanding/misreading my comments and throwing garbled versions of them at me because others have done so is more important than understanding the topic at hand.

Technically, the Nintendo Switch uses Linux, and Android is Linux, so its kind of absurd the pushback Steamdecks are getting from these people. They aren’t afraid of Linux; They are afraid of the posibility of running a terminal and interacting with a Desktop Environment that isn’t Windows or MacOS. Doesn’t make any sense.

Multi-core processors already do this. Give the Android OS a Core or 4, the Linux OS a Core or 4(or however many). The power management already works in the suggested configuration as well: High-power cores are put to sleep when not in use.

The remaining question is whether the hardware virtualization is in place on the specific ARM chip in question to give/confine the one OS(virtualized/parallelized, not dual-booted) a specific Core or set of cores. It could be desirable to give Linux and Android each a low-power core and have them dynamically split the rest, with Linux controlling prioritization.

There are high-powered Linux apps. Moreso than Android in-fact.

CentOS no longer offers support for users who re-enable those things. AlmaLinux has in theory committed to keeping those things set so that users don’t have to manually re-enable them, and that to keeping them working, at least for now.

On the off chance that ALL THAT is true, it would be “restoring support” … but I have no skin in this game and doubt that many, if any, CentOS users would be swayed to a new distro like so.

I didn’t say anything about variation between two screws of the same pitch. There are various pitches for each length/diameter of screw on the market, and some are more common than others.

Even in millimeters, there’s a wide range in standard thread pitches. 1mm thread pitch in most common screw sizes is generally available, sure, but don’t always fit the “cheapest sufficient part” criteria.

EDIT: Dudes, the standard pitches between various sizes of metric screws does vary. This isn’t in reference to variations within a batch or whatever other garbage take 4 people apparently came up with, its just a fact.

versus:

Good lord, I could machine you a set on my lathe, easilly, but its not necessary. Just get you a tap & die:

Where am I getting the idea that these manufacturers don’t think like this and just buy the cheapest crap they can find readilly available? My siblings in christ(or whatever), how do you think we came to be on this subject? Machines are getting put out with components where the pitches are all over the place in locations where it would make more sense to match them up.

Teflon seals threads vs water or air, and works more like anti-sieze than a thread-locker. Coincidentally, Thread-locker can also keep water out, but I have no idea if there’s any point in trying to use it with TPU.

Here I was hoping we would get a breakdown on the companies making ARM processors … Still an informative comments section.

Well removed. I thought my Firewire card had just died.

Dice rolls, all the way down. You’ll eventually try more of those other packages “you don’t need” in your quest to make your Linux system look and feel how you want, but first you’ve gotta start with something to get a feel for: “I like this bit, but not this other bit, can I change that?” Generally, yes.

If you’re demanding to be told the right way, there’s TempleOS for that, or Mac, or Windows, or hell, how about RedStarOS?

You mean a debian package like this one?

Then why bother mentioning that you have Linux container enabled?

Technically, I’ve done as you’ve described several times over. Did it with IOS and Android - I approached both with an open wallet and open to doing things differently than I was used to. Could say the same for several gaming consoles and Chrome. ALL have required concessions on my part that left a bad taste in my mouth - speaking strictly from a User Experience perspective.

The worst of it has been all the apps that dissappeared from the IOS Appstore - apps I paid for and now all that’s available are pale imitations full of ads and demanding subscriptions.

I’m not asking the same apps to work across multiple decades either - the gap between my first iPad and my second was less than eight years.

You messed with Debian’s netinstall images? Just enough for you to get on-line and apt-get the packages you acually want, although the ISO does about take up a whole CDR.

On most laptops that do that, there’s a BIOS setting that fixes it, the F keys at least. On HP’s, you can set whether you want the top row to act as F keys or “media” keys. Any combo that uses the Fn key should work in Linux, and you can set your own hot-keys/shortcuts in Linux as well.

You mean the external display toggle? Because otherwise, no.

Obviously.
