The other upside is that Google Docs aren’t entirely compatible either. So people are already used to imperfect versions and needing to pass around PDF’s if output matters.

The biggest problem I see is Microsoft can only cleanly collaborate with Micrososft and Google with Google. The second you open that docx in Google, all bets are off.

The real downer is the libre’s lack of supported online collab, that’s pretty much a requirement for business these days.

I installed Wiz, they can do RGB, but the real trick is to program double tap.

TBF, they are cheaper…

My electronics teacher weathered it pretty well.

This is a basic circuit. These are how the electric and magnetic fields work. Oh and Franklin fucked up a long time ago, made a guess, and he guessed wrong. So, realistically, electrons flow from negative to positive, and the holes they leave behind flow from positive to negative. (he had already covered PN junctions so it scanned) It doesn’t change the math or anything, just know that electron flow is negative to positive and that’s the last you’ll hear of it. And we all said that’s dumb. And now, in my life, this is like the 5rd time I’ve talked about it since I learned it in 1992.

9/10 for ingredients

2/10 for prep/cooking

Cut that onion in half to make 2 disks, then quarter those, add just enough water to steam, cover and cook until soft or the water steams away, add butter and sautee until the onions are medium brown. Cube the cheese and add to the onions, stir until melted, add a pinch of flour, maybe a crushed and minced clove of garlic and cook for another minute, salt and pepper to taste. Butter and toast the inside of the roll spread the cheese and onion mixture.

Consider taking an antacid if you can’t handle garlic and onion.

So, it doesn’t actually change anything; everything still works the same.

But textbooks need to be thrown away and remade, every circuit diagram, every electrical engineering plan, decades of research and research papers have to be combed and corrected, or accept that they’re wrong.

While technically possible, it would create colossal risk and unending chaos and It’s environmentally unsound, for something that doesn’t change anything in the end.

Lazy is not checking your mail.

Refusing to turn reality on its head for a null change in the end is something else entirely.

One person’s red flags are another person’s dodged bullets.

No no, you just put that on the resume so they don’t ask.

2021-2022 Undisclosed work (still bound by NDA)

I don’t hate it…

It depends.

A 2-5 year-old laptop, you want to web browse, maybe watch some videos, use google docs or open office, you probably never need a terminal

If it’s a really new laptop or you want to get the most out of video drivers and push it harder, you’ll probably need to be ready for some light terminal crap. Gets a little janky if you have a dual-video-card setup. Nothing hard to handle, but if you’re not looking to have to handle anything…

I think the numnber of available packages is better on the Debian side. Mint or Kubuntu run newer hotter stuff, debian runs older more stable stuff.

To be fair, the fact that most of them pass right through the earth without interacting with anything, it knowing even that much English is excellent.

My laptop and a thunderbolt dock can do 4, a 4k panel, 2 qhd and a 1080p all at 30fps

Every Screen adds on bandwidth needs, the more pixes and faster refresh, the fewer screens you can handle.

You can get there with multiple gpus, or if you have lower demands, usb->html

Good grapics cards have 3, you’re not limited to one graphics card

Yup, I know just where that happens. It’s probably a joy to work in your IT. They probably have a keyboard macro for “no”

Not accounting for any interesting custom choices you made under the hood, the default file browser for both os’s use libfuse3 for MTP. My point is, it shouldn’t have crashed, there are open issues in libfuse3 for possible crashes, so you might just have hit one at the wrong time, but at that, it REALLY shouldn’t have f’d over your journaling filesystem enough to keep you from logging in. A breaking read/write to fuse should not have been able to f your journal over beyond a simple automatic recovery. Most of the design choices in Linux over the last decade have been made specifically to prevent that kind of thing from happening on a healthy system. One can argue that one distro is more stable than another because they take, or refuse to take newer packages, but for your specific issue, they use the same piece of software under the hood.

The wipe and new OS might have just moved the problems to a less visible area.

My primary anger with Wayland is the security issues that broke AHK that they’re just now considering. There’s been lots of finger pointing over the years, but now that most OS’s are ditching X11 support all together, we’re going to see a lot more compatibility coming in the next year or two.

And everyone telling dear reader to change distros is doing it from a position of ignorance.

Even the least reliable of those distros should not be seeing anything but the keymap issue. MTP crash, unable to login afterward, That reeks of ram/disk issues.

Time->TLS errors aren’t handled well anywhere.

As critical as they are to 2fa and TLS, you’d think every OS out there would poke around a few time servers and scream bloody murder if the time was off.

Honestly, I think we, as a society, have leaned a little too hard into time as a precise critical failure point. It’s fine for things like GPS that actually require it. but our clocks don’t need to be precisely the same to tell how recent a request and response are and we can certainly make better hashing algos

Oddly enough, giving the general public exact error messages ends up costing you in support and reputation.

They obscure the messages because the inexperienced masses start digging up red herrings. Knowledge to someone with zero experience causes a lot of confusion.

The experienced and capable users look up the codes and think about it for a minute, check their vpn, maybe a health dashboard, maybe reboot.

Just about every complex machine out there give error codes instad of real messages, even when they have large displays capable of telling you exactly what the condition is.

yeah, back when I was maining windows, I went through a lot of trouble to install non-store versions.

Of course, some places lock down their employees too much for them to do that

Don’t be too mean, but make sure your admin feels the heat.

Linux is good enough for the desktop for a fuckton of businesses. gentle pressure may get us there in a generatiohn or two
