I’ve been using Linux in different capacities since the late 90s. I use Mint with Cinnamon because it’s stable, does all I need and I don’t need to fuss with it. You’re more than fine.

Was he living under a rock prior to the visit? One of the worst ethnic cleansings in modern history is happening there right now, and that’s when he decided to visit?

acockworkorange,

It is. You should try to move to a career where you sell the results of your labor, not the time it takes to achieve them. Easier said than done, I know. Good luck!

My childhood friends started saying that anyone working after noon on Friday is disorganized and I think it’s beautiful.

acockworkorange,

Didn’t they try to call it Windows X at the time?

acockworkorange,

If they were that smart, they wouldn’t need to be autocratic.

acockworkorange,

Not a laptop, but I replaced my old laptop with a micro PC from minisforum EM680 and I’m very happy running Linux Mint in it. If you tend to use your laptop on the same spot, it’s a great way have a more performing and ergonomic PC for the same or lower price.

I can power it from my monitor, so I can have only one cable at the desk. Bluetooth and wifi working out of the box.

At any rate, I suggest you stick to AMD graphics as they have native open source support.

acockworkorange,

Killing is overly dramatic, but it’s putting a burden on certain projects if they want to convert to it and not all have the resources to tank it. I don’t see Window Maker porting their toolkit to Wayland, for instance.

But XWayland exists so I don’t see what’s the fuss.

acockworkorange,

Don’t you need a HDR monitor for HDR?

acockworkorange,

I don’t even want to know the price. I bought myself a new monitor for Christmas and I doubt it has that.

acockworkorange,

Everyone can, really. It’s not 2002 anymore. Linux has been ready for prime time for some time now. All it lacks is critical mass.

acockworkorange,

My point is there’s no required savvyness like it used to a couple decades ago.

A corporation is arguably best positioned to make the transition. The one I work at has all their administrative systems as cloud apps. The few production systems that run native can be run in a Citrix or RDP environment. Even now, with user stations running Windows, these systems are accessed through RDP for… reasons anyway.

“This might even affect my retirement!”, exclaimed a CEO.

“The Engineering Method” by Mark Hammond aka the engineer guy is a great read…

…is what I would say if I actually purchased books from my wishlist.

acockworkorange,

It’s weird. Someone once told me her husband was German after I mentioned I lived there for a while. So I asked where they’re from, maybe I knew. “From Mississippi…”

Medieval belt buckle of 'dragon' eating frog discovered in Czech Republic may be from unknown pagan cult (www.livescience.com)

The puzzling depiction of a vicious predator — either a dragon or a snake — devouring a frog on an early medieval belt buckle from the Czech Republic may be a symbol from an unknown pagan cult, archaeologists say....

acockworkorange,

How does a buckle like that work? What part buckles the belt in place?

acockworkorange,

Stems from RICE - racing inspired cosmetic enhancements. Fancy way of saying “go faster stripes”.

acockworkorange,

You got a source for that? I don’t doubt it, but when I searched for the meaning, that’s what I found.
