US kids now on average know Chromebook OS better than Windows
Source? I would like to read about that ropic.
Lemmy website is fine on mobile imo. Not perfect but usable and optimized.
Linux Mint has a very good track record thanks to their "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" mentality and user friendliness. That's why people still recommend it. With the rapid developments around gaming related software, their mentality works against them.
This person uses an 8GB mac, and tried to defend Apple in the debate
This is more than enough for me to form an opinion about this guy.
What’s wrong with OneUI?
Appcloud. OneUI is great if you hammer it with ADB the moment you get out from setup. Extra apps like MS stuff and Google stuff are uninstallable. (mostly; Google, Chrome and Youtube may refuse to uninstall) Appcloud needs ADB and it is very annoying.
On KDE Plasma 6 + Firefox (both Wayland) I can share a window and workaround audio sharing by routing desktop audio to microphone. Vesktop (Discord alternative) supports screenshare w/ audio.
VLC can capture desktop video
This won't work if host is behind CGNAT
Game Porting Toolkit can be utilized by end users. "Whisky" application can download and use GPTK to play Windows games. https://getwhisky.app/
For software, I can understand you. Linux has fewer native games but significantly better support for Windows games through Proton compared to macOS.
Other people having pleasant experiences doesn't mean you won't have such times in the future. I never had a relationship but reading this sub is very satisfying for me.
Reading stories in which MS shoots itself in the foot, I am so glad there are 0 Windows 11 installations at home and Windows 10 installations are old (up to date but every install is at least 1 year old) so they don't become enshittified.
Run them with wine on Linux or search the internet to check if others have tried running that software under Wine. I had very good luck with small, single-purpose software.
The chart shows revenue, not profit. I wouldn't be surprised if Copilot is not profitable.

I can reach the login page on FF Mobile with user agent switcher + desktop mode
My HP All-In-One 20-c081nt has the processor Intel Core i3-6100U, which is supposed to not run hotter than 100C. On Windows if 100C is reached, the screen will fade out and PC will immediately shutdown. A warning will be shown at next boot. On Linux, seen in the video, the PC will simply keep running as if nothing has happened and show the thermal shutdown warning after a graceful reboot.
Long story short, this year is my exam preparation year and due to my nature I will take extreme measures to prevent distraction and focus on studying. I will decommision my PC, stop browsing Linux & tech related websites and leave this beautiful place called Lemmy. To make things clear, I am not influenced by anyone for doing this.
I want to use this post as a time capsule to revisit after 10 months, so I will write my predictions and also collect everyone's. What do you expect to see in Linux and tech scene in 10 months from now? Here are my predictions:
- Pop OS 24.04 will be awesome and be the go-to recommendation when it is released
- SteamOS for PCs will not be released yet
- Linux market share will be around %2-2.5 in Steam hardware survey
- Plasma 6 will be released around January and will be a bit buggy, but most rough edges will be smoothed by the next release in 3-4 months
- NVK will have performance parity with official drivers in certain configurations
- Wayland will gain wider adoption, even on Nvidia
- There will be little to no progress in compatibility with current anti-cheat blocked games
Side note:
- Web environment integrity will be adopted only in education industry because it is dominated by Chromebooks at least in US. It will not be adopted by streaming services because highest level of DRM is only available on Edge and Safari. Even if Chrome had WEI support it would be meaningless because Netflix will stream 720p / 1080p anyways. MSFT and Apple will not implement WEI in their browsers in order to preserve the end-to-end control they have currently. Banks will also not implement WEI because they may be still serving customers using legacy (Windows 7) technology or simply using Firefox.
- Download Firefox Nightly 115. The latest version has crackling audio. (118 at the time of writing) Here is a download link for aarch64: link
- Launch FF, tap 3 dots, settings, About Firefox Nightly, hammer the Firefox logo until debug options are enabled.
- In settings go to Customisation, set dark mode. Spotify doesn't support light mode so this will make it look nicer.
- In the address bar type
about:configand hit the "+" icon. - Set these parameters for new value:
- Name:
general.useragent.override - Type: String
- Value:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:115.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0
This step is necessary if you want to make a web app, otherwise you can use "request desktop website" option.
- In about:config, set this value to
1.0:layout.css.devPixelsPerPx - Go to open.spotify.com and log in. You may need to change your device's orientation.
- Find the ideal value for
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx. You can use float values like 1.22 and values lower than 1. Larger values will make everything bigger but the interface may not fit or the website may crash, smaller values will make everything tiny. - Hit 3 dots and tap "Install".
Here is how it looks like on my phone: https://imgur.com/a/CpiheUT
Us Lemmings seem to be more interested in memes than the actual thing.
I currently have 2 PCs which dual-boot from single drive:
- W10+Garuda on UEFI
- W10+Pop OS on previously CSM, now migrated to UEFI
I have used dual boot for 2 years and Windows never decided to play the boss and override Linux. In fact, some Linux distros overwrote existing bootloader and put their own in my experience. I didn't have many problems and if I did, they were easy to fix. I even play Steam games from NTFS on both PCs. On the contrary, I heard many horror stories, dual booting is avoided and not recommended to newcomers by most users. How is your experience with dual booting Linux and Windows? Did Windows ever deleted Linux bootloader on updates for you?
