Their client is only on MacOS though.

It’s always like that. When the only goal is more growth, the C-Suite will fuck everyone and anything over.
But people gotta eat and be homed, so that won’t change soon.
The market cap is the number of share multiplied by the current share price. So this is a made up number because the reality is that not all these share would sell at the current share value.
Essentially, Apple Market Cap raised because people bought shares at a higher price after the announcements.
Because a GUI makes everything a lot simpler. I only started understanding how git works the moment I dropped the GUI and had to resolves issues through CLI.
The pandemic shortage marked the end of the RPi as a hobbyist board. All the stock when to companies, and every hobbyist shop jacked the prices, and scalpers even more.
Most of the time is for the owner to cash out. Either now, or in a short time when the ramp up is done, for more money.
The latter. It has been BIOS for so long that it is ubiquitous now.
You are right that the terminal is a really useful tool. But for the average user, the terminal is intimidating.
No other OS works like Linux in term of UX. You can use iOS or Windows without a command line all your life.
As this post describe, it is next to impossible with a Linux Distro.
For the people that want Linux to be mainstream, this is an important hurdle to go over.
I know that Windows sometimes shit the bed where you need to edit a register or use PowerShell, but for the vast majority of people, it won’t be needed ever in their life.
It worked differently before because the information network was orders of magnitude slower and data was expensive as Pope shit.
Nowadays, the information is almost instant and everything is interconnected and data storage is cheap so we got big data with people paid solely to boil that down to algorithms that squeeze money as much as possible from customers.
Just look at all the streaming services that makes you pay more if you don’t want ads and they resell your data. Triple dipping baby
I am mostly gaming these days but a few months a year, there is a 3d printed project with some embedded components so I’d like the distro to be relatively easy to use in those cases.
Thanks for the explanation.
I don’t have a lot of time these days, so my PC is mostly used for gaming at the moment. So I am not too worried about the OS being immutable if the gaming is good out of the box.
I still keep a kubuntu os and dual boot the other os I want to try on another ssd.
How is Bazzite for other things than gaming? For me, mainly embedded dev and productivity.
Linux Mint would be an OS built on the Linux Kernel.
Some people have a hang-up on calling any Linux kernel based OS “Linux”, because unlike its competitor, there is a lot of OS flavors.
You have “main” OSes (Debian, Fedora, etc.) and derivative OSes based on these “main” OSes.
Linux Mint for example, is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian.
At this point, it is semantics.
It will be like the IoT bloom of 2015ish where everyone and their mother had a new IoT product on Kickstarter.
I just hope it dies fast so that we can concentrate on the actual utility of LLMs and other AI sectors.
I recently switched to KDE. What tweaks do you recommend (other than finding a theme you like)?
Here’s an idea, maybe stop killing animal for medical testing?
Other companies doing the same shit isn’t any better. But with Neuralink, they said that no monkey were killed during their trials, which is false. So it makes it even worst.
Yeah because it’s either a socipath billionaire or a dusty garage hobbyist. Nothing in between.
At the very least, the garage hobbyist has more chance to be a more ethical person.
The issue is not the tech, it’s how it is developed and tested, and the terrible track record of the mega corpos.
Just like AI, the tech itself is great, but corpos turn it into a pile of shit for the money.
It won’t be different this time around with daddy Musk.
Because it will encroach into everything if we let it be.
There’s always a dumdum like you saying “it doesn’t affect you, so why do you care?”.
Because the company implanting the chip killed a good amount of monkeys for their tests. They’re an unethical company.
Because Elon Musk is a fucking piece of shit and he is clearly disregarding the laws if it makes him money.
Because private, for-profit companies cannot be trusted to not fuck over everyone if it makes them a cent more.
From what I see on github, there are major issues for Linux.
I am already fighting poorly designed vendor tools, adding one more unstable software in my workflow is just more frustrations.
