   I love the reader view of Firefox; it's the best implementation and makes all the "web crap" go away to focus on content. Chrome had a good implementation of this hidden behind flags, but they recently neutered this "bec

   I guess this depends on the GPU, and I should have probably mentioned using SR-IOV for this and not actually pass through.

   I refused to go down this route; the hours lost in frustration are not worth it. I purchased a UPS that supports a network management card, basically an overpriced SNMP daemon with an Ethernet interface, and have been happy ever since, sinc

   Thanks for chiming in. Before I delved into Linux, I spent a lot of time with the BSDs. Because of the more permissive license used by the BSDs, I learned that the work put into these projects is for the benefit of mankind. Whether that&#x2

   I think KDE6, which is just around the corner, is going to be your best bet. That said, some older programs still require xwayland and you will not get too far with these.

   I concur with this and did the same. I think the schedulers are still not mature enough to properly handle these slower efficiency cores, and then you wind up getting frustrated when one of your tasks gets offloaded to one or more of these

    Do you have a URL or something that reviews this in greater detail? Perhaps in a laptop scenario?

    Not certain if it's related, but the recent p-state changes to the related code for AMD in the Linux scheduler has gotten smarter over the last several releases. It can pinpoint which cores are the fastest out similarly speced cores, b

    I glanced at this a while back, but, ultimately, went with Ktor. Reason being, well, I was using Kotlin and wanted something even more simple.

    Wow. Never knew about CNN Lite. It loads instantly like good websites should and the content is readable because ads are not flying in from all over the place. Does this work for all CNN articles?

    Their "latest Xfinity Gateway" has a 2.5G Ethernet port: https://www.xfinity.com/learn/internet-service/modems-and-ro... ; you need something else to do 10G.

    The fact is the 10G offering is only available in a very small number of very specific locations.

    > https://speed.cloudflare.com Love this for super quick no brainer data. I used to use speedtest.net, by Ookla, back in the day, but this is so much better in so many ways and provides so much more data.

    I've used Windows for a long time and recently switched to Linux as I feel Microsoft has lost its way with Windows. The Linux DEs have become pretty awesome over the years and, IMHO, they have surpassed Windows. That said, I still need

    Currently running Debian (Trixie to handle new hardware), as it was the first distribution I played with many many years ago, but I don't know if it's my final destination (though I don't care to "distro hop" either
