This isn’t like a phone OS where they add ressource-draining new features every 6 months.
If your computer can run the OS at installation, it’ll be able to run it for a long time.
One good reason not to use Arch is if you have a limited internet connection.
Updates are often 1 GB or more per week, depending on what you have installed.
So if that’s an issue, Debian is the better choice.
Until you install Firefox, that is.
I support a fleet of 300 Windows laptops plugged into USB-C docking stations, with bluetooth headsets, and all that is connected to a Citrix farm.
My job has been pure driver hell for the past year, ever since we were forced to downgrade to Windows 11.
And I have no idea how to get out of it.
What happens if you put the recycle bin in the recycle bin?
So, all in all… A relatively decent Windows update compared to the average?
That’s not what I meant. I meant that yes, there are technical ways to get around this garden wall.
But only a very small percentage of users will know of it, or dare open a terminal to issue adb commands to their phone.
So the majority will be locked out of open and free app stores despite the technical possibility to keep using them.
And with fewer users, there will be fewer developers and fewer apps available.
Yes, but forcing all users to do that will kill off 90% of the market for F-Droid.
Yeah, I’m definitely gonna need lsd for this.
Just look at this picture. This thing costs over $2k.
And their target market are teenagers.
How do you fuck up product design this badly?

Can someone fill me in on how pre-orders can make any sense for buyers even theoretically, if what they buy is an unlimited digital asset?
Here’s an explanation of the context, without the gory details or NSFL original image:

I ducking hate today’s tech.
You asked AI to do a thing, it didn’t work, so now you ask us to fix it.
How about you start writing something yourself which you’re able to understand, and go from there?
Fun fact: Phone cameras now have enough resolution for AI to get your fingerprints off a photo
Imagine if this leads to all people in AI images flipping you off.
I wonder if he can use slurs.
Some things still don’t work on Wayland.
(Like screen sharing with Anydesk, as an example I ran into yesterday)
But at this point, I just replace the thing that still requires X11 with an alternative, or find a different solution.
X11 is dead tech. Wayland has its own issues, but it’s better than X11 in almost every way now, actively maintained, and it’s the current standard.
