Also transparent compression is a thing in case you need to squeeze out more space. And I don't mean the shoddy NTFS active compression. It received support for much more efficient compression algorithms since win10 which are accessibl

Fingerprint sensors. I don't miss the times where I had to always enter my passphrase on unlock at all, massive time saver. Also not being stuck on an ancient version of Android - though I don't know what the custom ROM community

Yup. It's only an issue if you insist on an immense amount of years of experience as a requirement for working on your web stack.

Whilst not strictly for power settings, NixOS has a repository where users can contribute general optimized settings for their hardware. https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

Yes, have us let tech giants see how much dystopian shit they can get away with without any kind of pushback because their ToS has a vague remark at page 30 that might grant them the ability to do so. That is the kind of future we want.

Yup, also still very happy with my Galaxy S9, now running an unofficial version of LineageOS 19 (though I am still rocking the original battery from 4 years ago and it shows, I need to look into replacing it soon). Really want to hold off r

I don't understand how either politic side is relevant in this case. Unless being homosexual automatically makes you a "leftist"?

Same here. I was using zswap at one point merely for hibernation but got tired of the dice roll on whether my system would wake up, would wake up but with locked up graphics, would show me a black screen, would show me a blinking cursor or

They aren't legally obligated to make opting out as painful of a process as possible by presenting you a gazillion individual options and then some kind of loading spinner while they "Process your request" for half a minute a

Had no idea that was a thing. Thankfully my current phone appears to be old enough to not make use of it. That sucks, can't wait for the mobile GNU/Linux ecosystem to mature.

Same here. Also any kind of thoughtful discourse where I might promptly answer with a basic filler response but then think of an actual reply after the conversation ended already.

I can still own my system just fine by choosing a phone with good community support and installing LineageOS (or some other variant of Android) + rooting it. If you don't want Gapps but still need to run apps which rely on it either mi

I personally liked MvM as a cooperative gamemode which added more depth to the classes in the form of upgrades. Easily accumulated a couple of thousand hours just playing that either on boot camp valve servers or community ones with custom

>The late-game balance changes (iron bomber, air strike, parachute, combo pyro nerf, everything) really all made the game worse in the name of "e-sports matchmaking" that never materialized. I would like to go back to the Love

It definitely was! I remember toying around with it on my OG Xbox for many hours on end when I was much younger.

Yupp the song that was playing during the escort in the storm part was great. They did decide to replace it with something completely different for Anniversary interestingly.

The anti glare etched glass is exclusive to the 512GB model - for whatever reason. I can't imagine it costing that much more to produce and I wish they'd have just put it on every model.

It is possible, that's exactly what I did.

Cities Skylines once you get to a fairly large city size. Arma 3 can also get extremely cpu heavy depending on the map.

Same here. It's one of the programs I greatly miss on Linux. :(

In addition to what the other replies mentioned, it's also possible to fall back to other methods like flatpak or a container (which programs like distrobox make very easy to set up and integrate with the host) in case a package in nix

NixOS and Guix come close to this with a central spot for declaring the entire system state, including program configuration and env vars. Now there is still the $HOME/.config mess, which home-manager[0] tries to tackle. [0] https:&#x

If it's an Intel iGPU + an Nvidia dGPU setup beware there's a bug with the implementation of the Nvidia driver currently which breaks connecting external displays on X11 depending on your hardware. See https://github.co

- You will have to learn both the nix language and working with nixpkgs. Learning nix is pretty trivial IMO (great resources are nix-1p[0] and Nix Pills[1]) but the documentation, while vast, is pretty shallow at the moment. You will likely

Arch has served me well over the years on almost every piece of hardware I owned and is still my goto for a "traditional" FHS distro. The documentation is top notch, it's fairly unopinionated and I love the simplistic nature

> Sorry, but that's not a good argument in favor of Linux when basic power management is not part of the OS and you need to set it up yourself manually. Can you imagine Microsoft or Apple shipping their OSs without power management

On Android you should be able to create new user accounts on the phone which are completely separated and can be quickly switched between. I used to create one with just WhatsApp installed for instance. Alternatively if you are rooted Xpriv
