Ok. I too hate that everything is directed to cloud and saving locally is treated like something strange that no one wants.
The day Autodesk removes the capability for local save (“export your files from cloud” in some Autodesk website is not the same as saving files directly from Fusion 360) is the day I leave Fusion 360.
Wait what?
So when I save my F3D files locally I don’t get the whole project in the file?
Both are CL 19 do you should be fine.
I recommend you shrink the windows partition on the internal drive and install Linux in the then empty space. The extra disk you have can be used as and extra disk or you can create mount points for /home and other directories.
Microsoft does not recognize other operating systems as “equals” (WSL is not Linux being week. It’s making Linux a puppet controlled by Windows) and therefore they design everything Windows as it was the only OS in the world. Therefore keeping Windows will often require some extra acrobatics from you.
What’s is the main topic of your blog?
Reported, rule 5
That’s $80 per kg.
It’s concerning that you insinuate that 20 year old hardware just works in Linux.
Just because a 20 year old sound card happens to work in your favorite Linux distro doesn’t in any way mean that it will work forever or that there are drivers for all 20 year old soundcards.
Where does it say that it’s not allowed to create a Windows driver for a 20 year old soundcard?
To be honest, it was ages ago I started up wine so I’m the wrong person to ask.
I’m a dual booter, best of two worlds, full support from vendors and no compatibility problems is my preferred way
Normally it’s not lack of Windows compatibility breaking the use of an application with wine, it’s the frameworks and libraries the application was built with/need to have access to.
So check what additional libraries and stuff your application have as a prerequisite. Visual C 2005? 2010? DotNet framework? Which version? And so on.
When you know what the application needs, then you can Google for “wine DotNet 4.5” (just an example) to get a feeling what problems people had and how they solved it.
Essentially wine needs to know where to find them when you start your application with/in wine.
Also, if your application uses MSSQL Express or similar, you might be out of luck. So if that’s the case you should start googling on how to get that running (if even possible) before installing.
Good luck, be stubborn and make sure to have fun. There’s a lot you’ll learn in this adventure of yours that will come in handy again and again in the future.
If you’re not tech savvy enough to get the software running under for example Wine, you might be better off with Windows. Trying to get support from the vendor for anything not Windows will not be easy if even possible.
Anyways, If you’re still going for Linux, I guess that Wine is what you’re looking for.
The statistics seem to be based on User Agent. A lot of people"fake" their user agent to avoid fingerprinting and other things.
I myself used to do it when I wanted to download Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft. If your UA said anything Windows you were forced to use download Microsoft USB Tool. If it said Linux you got a direct link to the ISO.
As someone who’s been writing for close to ten years now, I would tend to think I would get paid at this point. Or, at least write for a site that would. I can’t begin to describe in words how frustrating and unfair it’s been to see websites that are “younger” than me become so successful that they’re able to write for their site as a full-time job in just one year.
This is a truth I’ve seen again and again throughout my career (started my career in IT in the 90’s). Just because you’re awesome at something doesn’t guarantee you a fat bank account. The people who most often succeed are the ones that have at least some knowledge of a subject and some understanding of how business work.
It doesn’t mean anything that you’re the best at what you do if you don’t know how to get the customer to sign the agreement.
Does Bcachefs come with any guarantees regarding my wife’s wellbeing?
If not, I’m definitively sticking with my OpenZFS.
Did anybody bother to look at the numbers?
I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange. Statistics isn’t my thing… But it looks like it’s wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.
Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in “unknown”. Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic way.
Mac OS also shows a weird behavior. Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November…
It’s not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it one month later. Same but opposite goes for the windows stats.
I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have…
Not saying that Linux isn’t increasing on desktop market share. Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.
