Am I the only one that’s fine with whatever the OS provides out of the box? Like, as long as I can turn the bell off and change the font, I’m chillin, and I have yet to run into a terminal that doesn’t provide those options.

Curious to hear what drives people to seek out other options (besides tiling, that I understand, I’m a tabs guy myself tho)

Ok so I guess I am the stupid because I always assumed kernel-level virtualization meant that you were limited to guest OS’s that used the Linux kernel. I was drawing incorrect connections to Docker

Well, so does your credit card company and they sell that info to the same companies Apple does, so nothing is really lost but a little is gained.

Really, there’s not much private about credit cards at all, so idk what’s with this thread…

I don’t know what you’re referring to exactly, but for me, I like using normal credit cards through Apple Pay because the recipient doesn’t get your actual credit card number and a different number is used each time

This thread is news to me. Unicode is Unicode, no? Why restrict to Latin letters?

Exactly, they could be hosting their releases on whichever site they use for remote git, but they don’t know how to use git

This question gets asked every year and every time it turns out to be an OPSEC mistake instead

Hard to know for sure without knowing what exactly it is you’re trying to run, but since you’re using an AMD processor, I would guess it’s NOT a firmware/driver issue. New Intel processors would be a different story.

Even today, not every application is programmed to use multiple cores effectively, or at all. Again, we need to know what application(s) you’re running when this happens

VMWare and archive dot org are your friend

I can name one improvement: global scaling works SO much better in Wayland

But obviously if you don’t have a high DPI monitor, this won’t matter to you

I know Gnome is in your less important list, but Wayland is in your important list, so I’ll recommend KDE Neon. It’s Ubuntu without snaps and moronic auto updates, so it really just feels like a more desktop-ready Debian

Idk if this has been proven, but I’m certain that the current desktop versions of Office apps are just Electron-style wrappers for the web versions. I switched from Windows to Linux about a year ago and have found the web apps to be perfectly sufficient

I’m also amazed at how the Neon QA team (if one exists?) missed the fact that the update broke the Shut Down button. No worries, I can just shutdown via KRunner - oops, that doesn’t work either anymore

You sound like you’re a bit new to software engineering/computer science, so I would stick to MacOS. Linux as a Desktop OS is not quite a pain-free experience and you’d likely run into issues that would get in the way of you learning programming.

What people mean by MacOS and Linux being similar is that they are both Unix-based, which basically means that the command-line experience in both OS’s is pretty much the same.

Flatpak is fantastic for end-user GUI applications

Flathub is also great, but the fact that it’s really the only repo that flatpak maintainers are using concerns me. I know I’m dreaming, but I would love to see some sort of federated or P2P hosting

KDE Neon user here, I have not touched any graphics settings and my AMD card runs 32:9 120 Hz flawlessly

Are you sure your rendering settings are correct? It sounds like the video isn’t being encoded at all. Video encoding works by storing a frame in full quality every couple seconds or so. For the rest of the frames, only their differences from the previous full-quality frame are stored. But from what you describe, it sounds like the latter sentence isn’t happening

Reinventing the wheel? Making new systems which create more problems than they solve? Adding abstractions which actually make things more complex?

Nah, those things have never happened in software
