I’m indifferent to it. The jarring years were 2006 up to about 2015. It would shift between better and worse until it reached the point where the front page was all clickbait/ragebait/advertisements and you had to rely on your own subscriptions page. Every social media site should default to subscribed/followed stuff for logged in users but got to selll paid to promote content

It’s been a long time since I’ve used 2007 class laptops. In my mind I’d lean towards like Lubuntu or Xubuntu. LXQT or Xfce. It won’t look as modern as GNOME, KDE, Cosmic but they’re good

In 2005 Windows was like 95% of the desktop/laptop market. Today it’s 70-75%. Since then mobile phones usurped a lot of functionality that used to require a desktop/laptop. Windows dependency is going to keep trending down both in just desktop/laptop or including mobile devices

In terms of desktop applications, looks like Element and Revolt look pretty comparable these days. Mobile app Revolt looks better to me. Matrix seems way more established considering downloads of Element (there’s numerous Matrix applications) on Google Play and FlatHub

Something like this I imagine I’d be happy with. A sedan/crossover and this. Wouldn’t take it out the county. Just trips to hardware/gardening stores and moving furniture. More than enough range and speed to go to work too. Any long drive I’d probably get an Accord hybrid or something. 2 vehicle family

It’s a lot more stable than September. I switched permanent to it in February and it’s solid. The only reason I’d consider system76 hardware in support of cosmic development

I think Ubuntu 10.04 or whatever mint version around then

I run it medium with a 7600xt at 3440x1440. Seems fine to me

It’s value is tied to being a part of Google and pushing google products. Take away from google and it’s Mozilla looking for ways to be well funded

Besides north korea, go visit. Have you ever been to Mexico? Have you ever heard of the deportations of Mexican Americans during the great depression or Los Halcones? Have you ever heard of the Vietnam war, the bombings in Indonesia by the US, the bombings of Laos and Cambodia? You never hear of Afghanistan or Iraq? You never learned about native Americans, dozens if not hundreds of genocides? Never learned about US occupation of the Phillipiines? You never learned about the mass killings in South Korea by the US backed regime post-WWII pre Korean war? Never learned of the US backed military dictatorships of South Korea and Taiwan? Taiwan and the once longest period of martial law in world history US backed. How about the assassination attempt of the secular supporting prime minister of Iran to back the Shah? How about the US backed genocidal regime in Nicaragua? How about post Vietnam war support for the Khmer Rouge? How about the support of Palestinian genocide?

You’re ignorant ass would probably spit on a Taiwanese or Hong Konger or Tibetan just as fast as a mainland Chinese because your whole basis of beliefs are rooted in ignorance.

Just trying to market on stupidity like Trump

I assume you’ve never met a Chinese person and have terrible knowledge of American history with Mexico and ethnic Mexican Americans just even in the last 100 years. We know what racism you’re supporting

I don’t get why some people think Skyblivion is some threat to Bethesda Elder Scrolls games at all. Mods are always going to be more niche than fully marketed and funded maintained commercial storefront releases.

Skyblivion is going to be limited to what the latest Skyrim release engine supports while this remaster has Unreal Engine 5 stapled on top as the graphics renderer. They added new voice acting. People are developing mod toolchains for the remaster. It’s more substantial than the vast majority of remasters we’ve seen

Really emphasizing to the world that the US is run by bunch of idiots

Ubuntu at work since it’s well supported and we can expect any IT people to be able to deploy our packages.

Pop 24.04 because I think it’d be cool to see how performant and maintainable and customizable a desktop that isn’t GTK or QT based. Something sparkly without the legacy choices of the past to consider in the codebase. Plus even though I’ve never touched Rust, it’s so hyped that I’m interested to see how it all works out. It’s my gaming desktop that also has a Windows VM for occasional trying something out. Also process RAW photos with Darktable. Every now and then use Alpaca to try out free LLMs, handbrake, ffmpeg, image magick, compile something

Fedora, stable to me and it goes on my minipc. I run Jellyfin on it and occasionally SAMBA or whatever. I like to see how GNOME changes.

On a Legion Go, Bazzite with KDE. Steam and seeing how KDE Plasma progresses over years. Bazzite introduced me to distrobox and boxbuddy which I now use on the gaming pop_os machine too.

An old laptop with Linux Mint on it. I like to see how Cinnamon is. Used to favor it when I first tried Linux from Windows.

It’s been a long time but I also used to really like Budgie but I feel like everything is pretty solid at this point and I no longer care to chase modern GNOME 2 or Windows XP/7 UI design

He’s the greatest example of a useful idiot in history

Get yourself and your friends on Matrix with Element or any other GUI program for Matrix. You’re on Lemmy, try out Matrix

The more users on Linux, the more commercial software will target it. Can already get Davinci Resolve and Autodesk Maya. Drive traffic to see more

US government really displaying that they’re a front for corporate interests. An arms and marketing division for US corporate lobbyist

Upgraded my minipc to it the other day from 40. No problems. Fedora is consistently stable for me
