Your knowledge needs to be updated then. The latest reinstall of windows I did detected my nvidia card and installed the proper nvidia drivers without me doing anything. I was surprised actually to see that but there you go.

On the other hand I recently did another dual boot system and despite having done it 100 times I accidentally destroyed the windows install by assuming it was efi when it wasn’t and overwriting the windows boot record which was at the end o

I actually don’t agree with that. If you don’t want to fully commit (which would help users transition) good effing luck getting an average user through the dual boot process, no distributed ever made that smooth or understandable. Even I h

Oh look, a “I switched to linux” article that will convince nobody because it’s full of issues they ran into that users don’t want to and should not have to learn how to solve. Or maybe I’m wrong and everything is smooth now? _reads article

Yeah but folks around here like to stick their heads in the sand when reminded that this is a very real and concerning barrier to adoption of desktop Linux. It could happen 1000 times and they’ll still scream that it’s either user error or

“Linux is so easy and great, my mouse didn’t even work and I have it unplugged to this day, and I can’t even play minecraft!” - I use every OS and have arch on my gaming pc (dual booted I’ll admit), but this is both one of the worst article

Well said. There’s a lot of angry comments below but it’s all people who don’t want to deal with these hard truths.

You would never use the cd lol, it would auto install - and if it didn’t you’d download the drivers online though if it’s such a piece of junk as to need that then it’s a junk piece of hardware anyway.

I don’t think you’ve used windows in 20 years by the sounds of it
340.
by jama211 10mo ago
That’s fair! Doesn’t sound like something that’s likely to get the majority of users interested though unfortunately

I do have a VPN which blocks a lot of ads at the dns level but better Adblock would be nice

Interesting, how does rooting your phone help you avoid that?
343.
by jama211 10mo ago
Cool

by jama211 10mo ago
I don’t think that point changes much

Sure why not

The trick isn’t to tell it what not to do, it’s to tell it what to do. And give it examples and requirements.

You know, when you descend into that level of hyperbole, especially when it’s targeted at another person it really doesn’t help your case.

ah fair enough, yeah probably disappeared along with many of the charming shops that used to be there

With all due respect - I totally understand you may need a rooted phone, I’m just curious what you use it for? I’ve never had a modified or rooted phone so I don’t know of any of the reasons you might need one.
350.
by jama211 10mo ago
Just because you don’t need it doesn’t mean other people don’t. Heck, I have no need for a rooted phone so I only use a normal phone, but I respect that others might need a rooted phone.

In my experience akihabara was never great for PC hardware but other places are in Tokyo are. Also Osaka had some good spots for pc hardware even in the stereotypical spots like den den town.

The attitude that we should all have access to more freedoms and that inequality has reached extreme levels is suppression? Then sign me up to be suppressed.

I would love to see comparisons year on year. I want to know if it’s gotten worse or not, there’s a lot of venting about AI in here these days.

by jama211 10mo ago
Why? It’s obviously not a problem for them
356.
by jama211 10mo ago
To be fair that’s what I’d have done had I had to build it. Use a lot of examples etc and build on what other people have done
357.
by jama211 10mo ago
Not in my experience - you need to build the fact that you don’t want it to do that into your design and specification.

Fair. Best use might be to double check on the proper UI before making any big decisions, and just use it as a general monitor

The appeal is I can use it with just a terminal connection to the server

Indeed, the steam machine is very tempting to me too
