I'm a lazy fuck. That's why I use openSUSE Tumbleweed myself that has snapper preconfigured. I roll updates once I have time/will, sometimes twice a week, sometimes multiple months between. It's fucking solid! And even if it breaks, it's couple minutes to get it back to working condition and then I wait a week and next update is fine. This is the best!
I have a colleague. She doesn't like Windows (more like she doesn't like MS spying), has a laptop with Ubuntu, but she also doesn't like change.
This put her in weird situation, when she still has PC with Windows 7, outdated firefox and complains youtube is borked all the time. And once she moves to laptop, there's old Ubuntu (more than couple major releases old) which was never updated, because "she liked it that way". Guess what? Similar problems.
I told her many times that if she wanted carefree linux experience, she should update it once in a while, there's no evil MS behind it, but no. She never updates because reasons. She rather visit some obscure website that presents some terminal commands she doean't understand, but copy them over anyway and voila... the linux is in even worse state than before.
Same here. I grew up in time and place where english was almost non existent for normal people. Then computers came, but they were gray bricks with no sound output outside PC speaker "beep beep". But the language was there already. For many years english was just written form with zero pronounciation for me. And once we finally got teacher that actually could speak (and who wasn't one lecture ahead of us) it was almost too late. That's why I uderstand quite well, especially written text, but once I have to speak myself... people think I came from stone age or something.
When I was a kid I had hard time distinguishing between actor and role. So Kevin from Home Alone had to be that Kevin Costner the actor, right? Right!?
Not sire how it's now, but couple years ago that "new galaxy" thing felt like it was precisely crafted to NOT run on linux. I tried multiple ways to run it, but all of them were unstable, crashing and very laggy. The best one was through Bottles but still... Heroic came and was instantly way ahead.
If GOG are such a freedom heroes why do they rely on megacorp Windows OS? That's what I like about steam - it makes gaming on linux dumb easy. And not just on linux, their "package" is ridiculously good - mods, cummunity, reviews, friends, non stop sales, mobile app (although I hate they removed chat to standalone app), and much, much more.
I'm not shitting on GOG. I love those guys, they brought back so much memories with reviving long forgotten games, I have hundreds of purchases there. But... it just needs a lite more polish (pun intended).
//edit: it says it uses google on the site, but I remember there was a bit of shitshow on the internetz ~year ago when they used bing instead. So... I'm confused now.
I got lost in this wordpress thing. Tried to read few (probably low quality informed-as-I-am) articles and now I'm even more lost. Can someone ELI5 what's going on, who's the good guy, who's the bad guy, whether wordpress (product) is to be avoided, etc. Thank you.
Indeed. I'd say majority of people nowadays need just one thing from their computer - working web browser. Mail, office suite, audio and video consumption, even graphic suite (e.g. photopea) is available, and widely adopted, in browser. And browsers behavesbvirtually the same whether on Windows or Linux, so yeah, put person in front of nicely packed Linux PC and chances are there won't be many issues.
I'm not that informed on LOL, stopped playing it like decade ago, but isn't it what I just said? More push on monetization. Might be subtle, but still it's there.
Well, technically yes, but not under Tencent. These guys will squeeze Ubisofts balls even harder than shareholders do. All stuff that went under Tencent got worse or at least that's what I remember.
