Is RCS encrypted? I still prefer signal above everything else. Whatsapp seems to be passable privacy wise, but it’s Facebook so I don’t trust it one bit.
One way or another, Whatsapp is the standard around the world and it for sure beats SMS.
You can get used to any scale
If farenheit represents how humans feel then 50 is the most comfortable temperature right?
I’m personally waiting for utf-64 and for unicode to go back to fixed encoding and forgetting about merging code points into complex characters. Just keep a zeptillion code points for absolutely everything.
I don’t know how does Snap handles its loops (which I believe mounting is or was the slow part), but Linux always caches as much as possible in the unused memory.
SnapOS sounds better than the current hybrid that is Ubuntu.
It seems like that is where Canonical wants to end up anyways, its going to be very weird to see a non Debian Ubuntu.
I’m personally waiting for kerneld
No joke that would be great for privacy and putting users first. Users would go the product to the customers and the platform would actually need to cater to them.
The same would happen with Twitter.
Now, social media depends on its massive size, so even if makes the platform more user-centric, it would reduce the amount of users and reduce its value.
Debian on desktop, Debian on server, Debian on my VMs and Debian on my containers.
I used to use Fedora and CentOS, then Fedora and Alma Linux but since RH decided to be evil I decided to go full community distro.
Debian has actually gotten really usable lately. Bookworm is fantastic and whenever I want a newer version of something I use Flatpak knowing that the base below is rock solid.
At that point just make pi 1 for even easier calculation
The Apple XNU kernel is open source though, right here: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu
AVIF is supported everywhere and it’s fantastic
They just want money
NTFS is by far the worse filesystem commonly used nowadays. Even Apple has a better filesystem.
When using Windows the thing I miss the most is instant copies. Everyone else has them and they are incredibly handy.
In fact, with a CoW filesystem Microsoft could even circle around the disaster that is Windows update without needing to remake their entire OS.
Windows had a fantastic UI but I despise the changes they have made to it.
A bottom bar showing all your windows? fantastic! windows are such a core component of the OS that it sure looks like the OS was named after them right? So why in the world would closed programs, with no windows appear there? why would multiple windows fuse into a single icon???
I was fine with just not pinning programs and setting the task bar to “never combine”, but they literally removed the option with Windows 11. I really don’t understand why Microsoft is de-emphasizing the ‘windows’ part of Windows. Apparently ‘never combine’ is coming back at some point to 11, so that’s good.
Now, I’m not going to compare the Windows UI to Linux DE’s since there are many alternatives that may or may not fit someone better.
As for hardware compatibility, I would say its a mixed bag on both directions. I moved my laptop from Windows to Linux when it started bluescreening when waking up from sleep. It works fine on Linux.
Sure, you have some WiFi cards that don’t work out of the box on Linux. But they don’t work out of the box on Windows either, you need to install the drivers on both OSs manually so its not any better.
Then you have some computers where Linux works like ass and can’t sleep, and you got some computers where Windows works like ass and can’t sleep.
The only solid arguments against Linux nowadays is
Well so can you install Linux on Windows, Windows on macOS, Windows on Linux, macOS on Windows and macOS on Linux.
From that point of view, all OSs are identical (and to be fair, they pretty much are, nearly everything runs on a VM called ‘web browser’ already).
Nowadays with WSL Windows is pretty good. Pretty much anything you can do on Linux you can do on Windows.
Now, not being worse is not really a point towards Windows. For developers its absolutely not worth it tanking the horrible storage performance, preinstalled ads and handing your soul to Microsoft for the privilege of not being worse than native Linux.
Did you add Flathub or rpmfusion? the store without those things is kinda barren
