Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

pan_troglodytes,

win10 is still supported for 3 more years - if you pay for it.

pan_troglodytes,

the wandering inn. absolutely no way a movie would do it justice though

pan_troglodytes,

its sort of litrpg - less “numbers go up” than most. no idea if a game could be created from it. I dont think we have reached the right tech base to emulate a System yet

pan_troglodytes,

xorg is going to die eventually. probably long after the xorg fanbois, but it will die - and wayland or something better will take its place.

pan_troglodytes,

almost like “purchasing” it was the real crime.

pan_troglodytes,

this should be a sticky for the community. simple, concise, answers the major questions.

pan_troglodytes,

i only use it because it comes with Prime, which I do use, quite a bit.

2008 financial crisis

aka sub-prime lending. this sort of thing has happened before, “buying on margin” in the 1920s, for the stock market. it didnt end well then either.

the way that laws work is that if you sign a contract, it’s legally binding - so if you take out a giant loan to buy a house & cant make the mortgage payments, you’re out of house and you’re liable to pay back the loan. you gotta read the fine print before you sign anything.

pan_troglodytes,

the truth is the truth, even if you dont like it.

pan_troglodytes,

you can opt out of those. and if your bank says you cant, close the account & join a new bank - there’s so, so many banks.

pan_troglodytes,

had a 1st gen paperwhite for years and eventually it just became too slow to use. go a fire8 tablet recently, does all the same things + other options.

pan_troglodytes,

languages change over time but you can easily pretend to be mute

1 - pretend while you learn the language

2 - you’re fucked, future tech cured this centuries ago

pan_troglodytes,

bought a (used) t470 a few months ago, been happy with it - especially for the price.

pan_troglodytes,

what’s up with this? I see this school of thought bandied around quite a bit recently. wayland… it’s a protocol. do they hate tcp/ip too? can they boycott that instead?

pan_troglodytes,

they’d be like sandals, but with a lot of cushion - like walking on a porpoise. my palanquin bearers would wear them.

pan_troglodytes,

bunch of not that high end dedicated music players when I looked on amazon just now - around the $40 - $70 price range

pan_troglodytes,

install freetube. all the win of youtube without any of the fail

pan_troglodytes,

hoohoo! Linus pulled a scream test and then forced the naysayers to maintain the crap they want. rofl

pan_troglodytes,

no idea. conspiracy theories are pretty cringe finge

pan_troglodytes,

skull bowl works better if the skull is upside down. right side up has a bunch of holes on the bottom

Why I need extra kernel modules to be able to run Wayland on nvidia?

If i run X.org i dont need to modify my kernel or its configs, it just works well (well, well for X.org) out of box. With wayland its the other story. I need to enable nvidia-dkms module and much other stuff to should be configured. There is a whole page about enabling hyprland on nvidia....

pan_troglodytes, (edited )

well, to an extent that xorg only exists in outdated distros that no longer get updates is what I meant - but in essence, yes.

pan_troglodytes,

it sure will be interesting when xorg gets deprecated
