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 This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses.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...

selokichtli,

The way I see it is 240 million computers have two different courses. One is to just drop the hardware, the other is to update the software. What is granted is that, if you decide to update the software, you will have to research how to do it. You may end up just buying new hardware, or hiring someone to do the job, but there’s a chance to just go for it.

If people go for upgrading their OS for themselves, then they have to research how to do it, and when they do it, they will probably find out that some thing called Linux could fit their needs. If Linux enthusiasts don’t say shit, they will install Windows for sure, otherwise, maybe they will install Linux. I’m not saying this is the year of the Linux desktop and/or this is a huge opportunity to convert PCs to Linux.

selokichtli,

Haha, this should have worked ten years ago.

I say this without any sarcasm whatsoever: the world needs more life stories like yours. Hope you are having fun.

I like to be informed, so, that “cut the news” thing, while it works for some people, it’s not for everyone.

Mindfulness was the thing that helped me to cope with current times. I believe our brains aren’t ready for this stream of information about the world, because our world used to be way smaller when it evolved, and its plasticity can only get so far. Be aware of your present, that’s your life, thinking about the past and the future only brings pain and anxiety. Learn to detach your self from your mind, or the part of your brain that lives thinking about the future. Know how to let go from the illusion that you have control of your life.

selokichtli,

I liked this one a lot. Love your sense of humor.

Gentoo goes Binary (packages) (www.gentoo.org)

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...

selokichtli, (edited )

Love this change. I wonder if I can install a binary-based Gentoo distro and gradually progress from there, if I wanted to, with locally compiled packages that partially replace the binaries. I hope this is not an all-or-nothing situation, so better read the announcement.

EDIT: Hey, yes we can!

selokichtli,

“Talk” like in “calc” but the first letter is a “t”. “Should” as in “shoulder”, just without the “er”. And so on…

selokichtli, (edited )

Yes! Pronounce your letters, don’t be weird! (I know this is not about this, but I’ll probably never be able to tell this to any anglophone.)

Use openSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s a rolling release distribution with the best a great KDE Plasma implementation.

Now, your specific question boils down to choosing between Arch and Fedora, since, arguably, Endeavour OS is actually Arch Linux. Now, as you’re willing to use a Qt-based DE, specifically Plasma, I’d say none of your options are ideal. That’s why I mentioned openSUSE Tumbleweed, but, for you, I’d say Arch Linux, however, you currently use Arch Linux, hence, you should just switch to the Plasma DE.

selokichtli,

Well, thank you for bringing that to my attention, but the comment holds.

Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...

selokichtli, (edited )

If Debian Stable supports your hardware, go for it. If not, try Debian Sid, but it won’t be as stable. You can install up-to-date applications, like Steam, using flatpaks in any case.

Even if you opt for stable and there’s an update that you may take advantage from, you can always update your kernel in several ways or change to Debian Sid (unstable), but you can’t go back unless you change to Debian Testing and then wait the freeze of Testing which then becomes Debian Stable.

selokichtli,

You always start with Linux Mint. This is the way.

please help me, why is this happening?? (lemmy.world)

I’m currently installing Puppy Linux on an old computer, and everything is working fine, the resolution of the boot selections were looking ok, but the moment Puppy Linux boots the GUI, this happens!!! And I tried resizing from the GRUB terminal but it doesn’t work, please help me, thank you!!

selokichtli,

Try booting with kernel flag --nomodeset. If it gets you to the desktop, you could find out more about the graphics card and monitor.

selokichtli,

Yeah, that will fix Apple being total utter assholes. Giving them what they want always fixes everyone being assholes.

selokichtli,

Perfect for the genius bar.

selokichtli,

Goals and dreams.

selokichtli,

Still on it!? Are you, people, immortal? =)

selokichtli,

It’s weird to me that, in this specific community, people is condemning this kid as a cyber criminal and as someone playing for the “wrong side”.

What happened to the PC games (or what happened to consoles)?

I got out of video game piracy for a while, but I’m coming back. One thing I have been absolutely SHOCKED by is how finding PC game torrents is actually kind of difficult from my normal sources. Now it’d be one thing if I just wasn’t seeing games, but for some reason Playstation and Switch have far more uploaders and...

selokichtli,

Very recently, and “dirt cheap” is a stretch. Dirt cheap compared to the pandemic years, sure.

Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime. (lemmy.world)

You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

selokichtli,

Wouldn’t call that piracy.

selokichtli,

For me, Bluetooth in general is a problematic technology that’s been trustworthy only when the device comes with a pre-paired Bluetooth emitter.

selokichtli,

Also, if you are starting your career, it’s ridiculous to ask you to pay for open access. At least in the third world, you can barely eat with your money.

selokichtli,
