   I migrated to Linux due to the recurring nagging coming from Windows 11; looks like Windows 10 users will start to have a compelling reason to migrate as well.

   Nice specs. I feel ChromeOS, as a whole, is underrated. It's the best PHD (Push Here Dummy) OS out there, and updates are less painful than any other mainstream OS. One step further is Crostini, allowing a power user to fully deploy

   I seriously considered a Framework for a recent laptop purchase, but, ultimately, went with the venerable ThinkPad. That said, all is not rosy here either. BIOS updates to resolve issues still don't come out fast enough and there still

    I don't know much about openSUSE, but it's nice to see the security effort that goes on before importing a large update like KDE6.

    The most cost-effective tool that we have today is the simple PSA blood test. However, I'd argue this is unnecessary at your age.

    You have a choice, and that choice is to simply stop using Windows. I made this choice around 6 months ago because of these shenanigans. My production machine now runs Linux, and I'm more productive now when I was with Windows, but I a

    If more performance is better, why isn't this the default in the Linux networking stack? What are the drawbacks of using this and are there security implications?

    I completely agree with this. As someone who recently switched to Linux from too many years of Windows, the lack of hardware support is frustrating. As I've delved into this world for a few months now, I can clearly see the cases where

    So don't use those two programs? KDE is an entire DE and ecosystem; I don't see how you can fault it for two programs that you don't like.

    I can't agree with this more and that's the beauty of KDE. If I'm sitting down using this thing 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, little niceties and optimizations go a long way to making me happy and productive. And it doesn&#x2

    I'm happy with them taking the best from Windows 11 so long as they don't destroy KDE with distracting ads in the UI like Windows 11 does.
