Windows is just not quite there yet for desktop use. Give them a few years to clean up their sharp edges and clunky UX and add some long overdue features, then maybe it’ll be a real alternative.

With the 10G NIC upgrade, I would see some use in this if it ran Linux
Maybe this is due to my flake setup, but the way I currently update (nix flake update, then nixos-rebuild) I can only update everything at once. At times, this can feel clunky compared to e.g. arch which lets me update individual packages. Do you have any suggestions on how to do partial updates?
Damn, he really has his shit together
I have also encountered games that needed tweaking (like changing settings in an .ini file that weren’t visible in the game’s menu) to run in an acceptable way on windows. Does this mean that Windows is ‘not quite there yet’, or is the game to blame?
I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy, but which drivers do you have in mind? You can install Linux on almost any machine, and if there are driver issues the culprits are usually nvidia, realtek, etc. for which Microsoft is hardly responsible.
The big Windows 10 problem is that it is Windows.
But 8% and 13% are both below 10
In high school, I used to be frustrated by this as well. But now, I’ve come to appreciate being able to get a reminder for a definition or a famous result just by googling and clicking on the resulting wikipedia page. Way better than having to find and dig through a badly-scanned pdf of a paper from the 70s which presented the definition that everyone in the field now uses.
Ok, I’ll bite. How can a corporation not be capitalist?
What do you mean? I remove all vendor keys and enroll my own secure boot keys. This way only my install with my bootloader signed by my keys will boot.
Not FOSS as far as I can tell. Maybe it’s no concern to folks running MS stuff already, but IMO closed-source is a red flag for trustworthiness.
Not familiar with iphones, can’t you just use plain wireguard?
Not related to the refund at all, but: Why would you turn off the monitor and not the computer? Even when idling it eats way more power than a monitor in standby.
Seems like something you would think about while, you know, designign a product? And not after its release?
Just install and try to resolve all your issues (if any) in a dualboot. That way you can always go back to Windows if something doesn’t work. But if your experience is anything like mine, you’ll find that 99% works either out of the box or after some minimal configuration. The only notable exception for me are online games that insist on intrusive anti-cheat software (e.g. BattleEye) and choose not to support Proton/Wine on Linux. Curse you, Escape from Tarkov!
You guys are using windows?
The natural representation would be the transient solution u(t) or i(t). Harmonic solutions are merely a special case, for which it turned out complex numbers were useful (because of the way they can represent rotation). They certainly serve a purpose there, but imo this is not an instance of ‘complex numbers appearing in nature’.
You mean firefox or the mullvad app? Took me a hot minute to figure out why things aren’t working as expected when setting up adguardhome, turned out the mullvad app was hijacking /etc/resolv.conf to inject mullvad nameservers
