Fonzie!

Genuine thanks for actually telling me where not to go

Will add that most buttons are far too small to touch reliably on my Steam Deck, so I use the track pad in KDE

Or if you’re a newbie to Arch, go with Endeavour

They’re already putting out a petition so they’re not wholly against the idea of an EU-Linux.

Also, this has been done before by other governments, like parts of the UK’s and many Indian governments.

I think it’d be a big step, but a doable one and for the better.

Why do you compare it to destroying and rebuilding one of the EU countries, if I may ask?

TinyCore does this, I think; by default files and applications go into session storage (cleared on logout), but they can be moved/writted to persistent storage. I have to say I digged it, and I wish the driver and application support was better (but then it wouldn’t be so minimal)

You can also run them using the correct Proton prefix directly.

ProtonTricks can help make this a lot easier and more graphical.

Millenials grew up using BASIC on Windows 3?!

Millenials were teenagers possibly learning coding starting from 1995, the world was using C++ on Windows 95 at best.

I think “they prefer” Arch because a lot of them just bought a Steam Deck and that comes with Arch and it just works.

Yeah that was me a bunch of years ago, thinking I’d cut the unnecessary dependencies from my system.
I learned they were not so unnecessary.

It’s an older Intel macbook, those are just like most Windows laptops.

If it was one of the newer macbook M’s, it would’ve been quite difficult at least.

And mostly, Windows/Linux will update for eternity; it’s up to you if it works and it most likely will despite the wide abd varied hardware support.

They really want us to use Linux, thanks Microsoft!

It’s far more dangerous to run it without a space between the - and rf

Ahaha. That hurts.

Pro-Tip: Even if you don’t program in Python, it might be necessary for several of your applications.

They have done 4 year windows before, and we still cannot know for sure how long for example the macbook m1 will be supported, still.

That said, 4-7 years for a laptop of that price seems short, I also don’t understand why they have to bring mobile OS support windows to laptops in the first place.

When it comes to update support, it seems odd to me to recommend Apple’s computers when they literally have a mobile OS’ support window to the OS.

Have you not pushed it yet? I can’t see it anywhere.

Although, Apple also just decides to make updates unavailable for your device once it’s a few years old, so there’s that.

Windows on a Dell XPS laptop was a good experience, firmware (and Windows) updates always came instantly. With Linux I have to keep an eye out for BIOS updates from time to time but Dell does not shy away from releasing BIOS updates for an over 7 years old laptop. Probably because their newer laptops use the same BIOS, but still!

You’re not disproving their point, though.

If anything, if the opposition is like this, it makes them seem all the more credible…

Why are you using Vim for this? Vim actually allows you to change the cursor position and select text with the mouse if your terminal supports it.

I’m starting to think torches burning right through pockets is a common occurrence, now.

At least here, I’d never think any of my or someone else’s torches could ever become hot; there are hot lamps but they are their own market (i.e. chicken farms)
