I’m yet to find a person who likes Snap, actually. Even if you prefer that way of installation, people just go to Flatpak.

Outside of specialized B2B software, I never met a tech rep that would be helpful with an issue. Do you actually have experience where you’d call Google/Apple/Microslop and get help with their software? In Linux world, with many programs I can just go and nag the actual developer of the thing, which often works wonders.

Excuse me, they do what now? Do you have a source on this? Because I know of this little article, but that was quite a long time ago.

I mean, it doesn’t magically appear on the device. You pay for the installation, it’s just included in the price of the device (with Windows you also pay for the license key, by the way). There are companies that’ll install Linux for you. Hell, pay me $30 and cover shipping, I’ll gladly set you up with, I don’t know, Fedora and even add a timer with notifications that’ll nag you about package updates, just like Android does.

May I offer you a candle in these trying times?

I have a fix for your problem. Install Gentoo.

That’s probably integrated speakers. Those can have quite powerful magnets. If it has old spinny hard drives, those have magnets, too. Sometimes the lid also has a magnet if there is a hall effect sensor for detecting if it’s closed.

Usually it’s hard to find a magnet that’d be strong enough to make electronics inside a laptop malfunction without breaking the case open. Your regular fridge magnets are too weak for that kind of application, so are the ones usually found in glasses cases. And if you happen to be an owner of a chonky magnet, you probably already know the thing is dangerous.

The performance is still notably worse than native Windows, but are you familiar with WiVRn/Monado? You can read more on it here, Discord server linked there has a lot of helpful people when it comes to VR on Linux.

It’s very configurable. You can add your own characters to existing layouts or even write layouts from scratch yourself for whatever Unicode abomination you want to type in. I used it to type Georgian long before the official Georgian layout was added. Pretty cool stuff.

Nah, not really, þ was used for both sounds throughout the history. Reviving this thing would make sense with a letter eth (ð), assigning one sound for each, as in “wið/boþ”, which is easier to read for language learners. But the person above clearly just wants to be fancy.

Борщевик! That thing is a menace across pretty much all the post-Soviet countries. Vavilov and whoever listened to him were stupid as fuck.

$ history | grep -E '(sed|grep|awk|perl)' | wc -l
50
$ history | wc -l
500

Checks out perfectly.

I know, love, I’m just joking around.

It’s Gentoo, but for cowards.

Stop teaching people how to scream, please.

Could have just used class E addresses, at least then it would look intentional insead of brainless.

Yes, but the latter is easier to read. I know what the former is, but my colleague could definitely use additional brain cells. And if they don’t understand it, I’ll be the one explaining. That’s also the reason for not using abbreviations besides the most common ones in variable names. Always assume your code will be read by a typewriter monkey.

Well…
