Just another guy abandoning the old internet.
Android? It’s not wholly closed source similar to RedHat they’ve got closed source elements while using open source elements.
Linux and its kernel are based on GPL and so to distribute something using it would require a compatible license. That means a full distro can’t be anything but open source and actually be distributed in free or paid versions. That doesn’t mean there aren’t closed source interfaces being used personally or undistributed.
Yeah installed it on an old Core 2 Duo laptop and so far it works great. Granted I’m running i3 rather than a hefty desktop.
Man I haven’t heard about Manjaro in a LOOONG time. Guess I need to look back into it.
Sadly Minecraft is very much CPU dependent over GPU. When you really start cranking down hard on the GPU with Proton you’re really hoping everything just works out without showing any cracks. With Nvidia’s lack of true Linux support it makes Proton pretty tough to get right.
There is always hoping though!
I meant it more as an inexperienced Linux user having to fix something and inadvertently causing havoc more so than drive wiping.
The F Windows posts are great and can be very therapeutic. But guaranteed those users haven’t issued a command that accidentally wipes out their entire drive accidentally. Or they haven’t had their Window Manager just up and decide it doesn’t feel like working anymore because of an update.
I work with Linux a lot simply because of my 3D printers and I love it. But being on a community driven edge can be a nightmare sometimes when something updates and you’ve got to track down the problem. For me that’s half the fun since I usually get to help someone else out with the same issue.
Interesting it costs them so much to refer delinquency to the US Treasury yet the IRS can make sure I pay that $112 I didn’t account for because I transposed some numbers on my return. Even to the point of hitting me with delinquency interest and garnishing my paycheck when they’re automated system wouldn’t take my payment. Sigh.
That’s interesting! I’ll have to give it a shot!
I need to try Gentoo again. The installer used to be absolute garbage and required a ton of work to get the a usable system if you deviated too far from a normal computer setup.
Not to mention your average user is likely to read the error on screen whether they know a log exists at all. This info alone can help software support.
Yeah. Lots of restaurants will close and move to states where Unions don’t heavily exist. It sadly means absolutely nothing for the millions upon millions working to make ends meet making nearly nothing. Those people can’t strike because to lose a week of work would have them become homeless.
Why do you need a headphone jack? Any DAC in a phone is going to be useless if you’re saying because of HiFi Audio. And when it comes to using a HiFi DAC I’d much rather just use a USB-C powered port for my headphones.
iOS is based off of Darwin which was based off of BSD Linux. So was MacOS for that matter.
I was assuming that the commenter was claiming 99% of Americans couldn’t name a black American historical figure.
Ugh George Washington Carver is known by a LOT OF people. Not to mention we have days dedicated to some of the greatest historical black Americans, Martin Luther King Jr for instance. But outside of that nearly every American knows a decent amount.
Even the hateful useless Americans know President Barack Obama.
Others of note when I asked several friends at work (blue collar average Joes and Jills, hotel maintenance):
Booker T Washington Rosa Parks Harriet Tubman Jackie Robinson Malcolm X Hattie McDaniel Fredrick Douglass Oprah Winfrey (yeah I don’t know if this counts but I included it)
Out of the 15 or so people I asked all of them said Obama and MLK Jr.
What even is this headline. I want to say titlegore but it’s verbatim from Reuters. Have they completely given up?
Ok, so it’s time for me to do some research on Flatpaks now. I’m an old schooler from Redhat days and haven’t kept up with the new stuff all that much.
Ah yes the “insert news org here” special.
IRIX was Unix based with BSD extensions and I believe Maxx Interactive now runs on FreeBSD without Linux compatibility mode. So hopefully it won’t be long before it goes open source. Though I can’t understand why it would be needed outside of anything but nostalgia.
