My main uses for them weren’t ever desktop but tinkering with simple robotics / telepresence, automation, aprs / mapping, 3d printing (octoprint). Seems like the 5 is overkill for that. I guess there’s always the pi zero.

For all of us bitter people who couldn’t get an RPi 3 let alone 4 for less than a fortune during the recent dark times…
We’d like to thank you: we’re going to ringfence all of the Raspberry Pi 5s we sell until at least the end of the year for single-unit sales to individuals, so you get the first bite of the cherry.
So I will probably preorder one because why not.
I guess because it’s a cheap way to do embedded computing? Idk.

Indeed; my bad. Hadn’t had my ☕ yet I guess lol
Our newer, faster CPU is complemented by a newer, faster GPU: Broadcom’s VideoCore VII, developed here in Cambridge, with fully open source Mesa drivers from our friends at Igalia.
Idk about fully but the above is a good change imo
Sounds a lot like me. That’s not communism, that’s just being a decent person. One that respects others and just wants everyone to live a good life without being the target of hate and harassment.
I’m definitely woke af. And proud of it.
I have come to think that when profits are at odds with health, happiness, the good of society and humanity, then either a non profit foundation needs to be running it or it needs to be in the hands of the government—but a much less corrupt one. And I believe oligopolies need to be broken up and anti trust laws greatly expanded and enforced. Then we can deal with the oligopoly / plutocracy. We set a maximum wage (including all earnings) and tax 100% above that. Penalties for regulatory breaches include jail time. For corporations. With corporations reigned in, oligopolies and oligarchies crumbled, we can prevent regulatory capture and corruption. Campaign finance is abolished and it is paid for out of public funds. We abolish first past the post voting in favor of scientifically determined better alternatives to ensure voters actually have a variety of choices.
Idk wtf that makes me except maybe a ranting lunatic lol
And while we are at it… novelists, poets, painters, musicians, philosophers, …
It is going to be difficult to troubleshoot without understanding what is lacking in sound quality between Linux and Windows.
What songs are you comparing with? Use the same set of songs on Windows and Linux.
I can probably look this up if nobody knows but what kind of sound chip is on the ASRock b450m? (Just in case there are some features the Linux driver isn’t making use of for who knows what reason).
My only experience in the last decade is Mint and lately Nobara (Fedora 37 plus tweaks for gaming). Mint was pretty rock solid. I rarely rebooted except for updates. Occasionally Cinnamon would lock up… because reasons? It was too rare to worry about. The only complaint was that the packages I used were pretty out of date. I switched only because the 5.15 kernel didn’t support my AMD RX6600 (or I should say there was an issue with power save where the display wouldn’t show back up even after reboot).
As long as it doesn’t cause massive instability I would probably prefer a rolling update. Upgrading Mint every few years was a bit intrusive.
I kind of feel like that may be a major strategic mistake.
It won’t be long before any given instance is overrun with alt right or other disruptive sorts if there aren’t good tools to help moderators/admins.
One of beehaw’s admins’ feature requests is for more granular instance controls such as blocking (defederating) at the community level.
Nice. I think that’s the one I ordered a while ago
Also if anyone is interested in diy Linux distro stickers…

I remember being irritated having to switch from ipchains to iptables lol. “Goddamnit I just learned ipchains now you’re changing it again??”
This sounds familiar. That was like 03 right? I think I was running Linux on an old Thinkpad 760 as a dirt cheap pentest platform. I think it was redhat maybe. I had Mandrake (Mandriva) on a Pentium mmx and Yellowdog on a Power Mac (7600 maybe). And a home net. And dialup lol.
I still have the Thinkpad around here somewhere… I should boot that old boat anchor up again for nostalgia’s sake.
I’ve had good luck with Dell Latitudes* from work and personal purchase from several years ago. I would probably tend to get one again when I update. I had zero issues installing Mint on one of the E6410s.
We switched to HP at work and mine have been reliable also and a nice minimalist look and decently thin form factor. I’d consider those too.
Same. I had a couple of Thinkpads ages ago and just couldn’t get used to it. Not enough control over acceleration and deceleration. I guess it is nice to not have to relocate your hand from the kbd all the time but…yeah.
At least you can admit you were wrong and change your mind. Those abilities are all too rare.
