Well, the highest resolution MacBook has less than 4K resolution and there's plenty of 4K laptops out there... Most "business" centric laptops work great with Linux, as long as you use a well supported distro (Fedora, Ubuntu,

"Abandoning" standards was done because X11 was the standard and it was too complicated for even the X11 maintainers to want to deal with. Wayland, for better or worse, splits up a lot of responsibilities and even offloads some t

In my experience, barring actual disability, those who think "slowly" are often just deeper thinkers. The ability to think very quickly isn't necessarily better, often it's just the ability to care so little about the co

Ugh, all my domains are with Namecheap, since Google stopped dealing with domains and CloudFlare and GoDaddy seem more evil. Also I appreciated Namecheap's support of Ukraine. Hopefully it's not too predatory and the owner just w

And this is why I don't recommend any DE other than Gnome, and why Gnome is the only desktop supported by corporate distros (RHEL, Suse, Ubuntu). It's pretty much guaranteed if someone is having issues, they're using a DE tha

Wayland isn't a piece of software. It's a protocol. Compositors that implement it are Gnome's Mutter, KWin, wlroots, hyprland's compositor, and others. COSMIC implements their own compositor too and that's probab

No one is forcing anyone to use Wayland. There's DEs that use X11 and have no plans to move to Wayland. Also no one is preventing this app from working, for whatever reasons the devs just haven't got it working. Open source softw

Kind of but not really. Rails has defaulted to creating a project with an SQLite database in development for awhile now. But the expectation has always been you move to what you need. SQLite has simply become "good enough" for p

Their distro seems somewhat confused. According to kde.org/linux it comes with Flatpak and Snap. Distrobox and Toolbox. They don't seem to just pick a lane to be consistent, it's all kind of random.

I mean, is a "build system" even real? Or does it just exist because of a shortcoming with a compiler? All "compilers" have multiple steps usually invoking other programs at some point: parsing, actual code transformat
