I was ignorant about their integrated RAM. Nevertheless, the point stands.

Is there a significant benefit for programming in going from 4K to 6K on a 32" display? I'm currently on 27" 1440p and looking for more screen estate for my neovim setup.

This is where EU should step in and force the right to replace the storage (hell even RAM) onto laptop manufacturers. And if Apple doesn't comply, then good riddance.

You can already try Fedora 43 KDE Plasma. 125% scaling works like a charm. Or as others say wait until Kubuntu 26.04 LTS.

GNOME is indeed annoying, but Plasma is a flagship Linux desktop experience, which has become self-evident with it's adoption by Valve for SteamOS as well as increasing number of newer distributions choosing it as default.

This kind of stuff was happening to me maybe 2 years ago on Plasma 5 with X11 (I can't believe Plasma 6 is two years old now!). After I switched to Wayland during the Plasma 6 upgrade, the DE has been buttery smooth and most of the maj

The OpenSUSE Tumbleweed installation on my desktop PC is nearing 2 years now and still rolling. It is a great and somewhat underrated distribution.

And there will never be such option if we all collectively choose to perpetuate Apple's monopoly. It is us, of all people, who need to take a stance, because we have the necessary skill.

Such is the cost of freedom, unfortunately. There is no free lunch. Historically, people abandoned comfort and made sacrifices for a greater social good.

I would instead recommend going for Fedora KDE Edition which will give you state of the art Linux desktop experience.

You are clearly wrong. Both Trumpism and Putinism are reactive ultra-conservative ideologies. Annexation of Crimea was motivated largely by Russia's "legitimate security concerns". Russian propaganda was busy convincing the p

This is Crimea 2.0. The ideological basis behind the annexation is identical in both instances.

Yeah, .NET is actually an impressive piece of tech. They have F# too which is a really solid programming language. And then they chose React of all things to build core OS UI.

Don't go for Ubuntu LTS. There are many choices that would work equally well for you. I'd go for Fedora KDE edition (but could easily be EndeavorOS or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed).

What we should be talking about is how to get rid Apple ecosystem all together.

It's worth it for me. I learnt and set up my home manager config once in 2024 and I now only occasionally make light tweaks. But I deploy it on every personal computer or remote development servers at my jobs (previous and current). Gr

I've been using Fedora and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop and desktop respectively. Both are going around a year, and I haven't had major issues with them.

Another evil thing about the whole food delivery industry is that infantilises people to the point they are incapable of making their own food.

Israelis committed those crimes in Palestine, over which ICC does have jurisdiction.

by kombine 10mo ago
Israeli society is no less radicalised, so this is irrelevant. What's relevant is that Israel illegally occupied Palestinian territories under international law and instituted a regime of apartheid on those territories.

Israel committed crimes against humanity in Palestine over which ICC does have jurisdiction. Whether US supports the ICC or not is irrelevant.

True, but not all EU countries use Euro, such as Poland, Czechia, Sweden and others. There is no way that they will be excluded from this initiative.

I wish the UK won't be stupid and joins the initiative. I also do understand that the US will exert a lot of pressure on Brits to prevent this from happening.
