Yeah, it’s pretty good. But now that I’ve started studying, and don’t have time for learning it (I’ve literally made a personal wiki with various documentation for myself), so I am thinking to switching to atomic distro instead (maybe KDE Linux).

I’d rather pay for shit and not have ads.

Last time I used btrfs (about few months ago on OpenSUSE) it eventually fucked up the whole partition, making it unrecoverable. No, thanks.

I don’t even want to know what can be important in a markdown file.

I am grateful that my past me (from few months ago) decided to study Slavic philology, instead of getting stupid tech job. I hate modern tech, including anything from big corporations.

I am also glad that I’ve switched to Linux (Debian ftw) to escape software enshittification.

I think a lot of people expect Linux to work like Windows, and that’s why they go back to Windows, even if some stuff is easier on Linux.

Many of us probably remember times when we tried to download random applications through a web browser, because that’s what Windows expects you to do. People will try that, and be confused, why stuff breaks or not work at all.

Nah, that’s OpenBSD.

I have used btrfs exactly once because it was the default on openSUSE, and the filesystem eventually became corrupted and unrecoverable.

Joking aside, while this is less functional than Android app, and looking… slightly outdated, it feels much easier to use, which is amusing.

Yes, and their donations are limited to 100k a year per corporation/organization

Interesting that they did that.

Debian testing is not rolling. Sid/unstable is.

I am pretty sure you can just remove the Notepad app on Windows 11 (not sure about Windows 10 though), or at least that’s what I did on VM. It removes the context menu option for creating a new text file (using new Notepad), but it restores old notepad that you can run by just runnning notepad in Run prompt (Win+R), or by making simple shortcut.

Who cares? It does the same thing, maybe except not having different font support and printing.

Is Microsoft not aware what Notepad is actually used for?

The best thing to do is to convert you closest family and friends. If you’re “the computer guy” the chances are you need to support their shitty computers anyway, so you might as well support an OS which is easier to maintain.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Why would anyone who wants to write a simple letter or some other basic stuff in Word (which is what most of home users do) want any of this crap?

That is way more sensible, than the other way around.

No, OS makers should just not make their OS bloated with useless shit, stealing your data and have arbitrary system requirements. I think 15 years of OS updates is excessive unless we’re talking about servers or very specific workflows. IMO 5-10 years is enough.

That said, for some operating systems it doesn’t even make sense to support for THAT long, because how they are designed (A lot of Linux distros for example). It turns out, if you don’t break users’ workflow, they don’t mind to upgrade.

In the worst case scenario offender can just create another Steam account, so permaban is fine.

Jokin’ aside, I am thinking to upgrading to forky (14), if it gets newer Nvidia drivers, because of a single issue I have with Wayland on Plasma (that is X applications flickering like crazy). Alternatively upgrading just kernel and nvidia drivers (to testing or sid) if it is possible without breaking whole system.
