Your post lacks understanding of the NT executive and the ways (IOCP, personalities, VMM, WM) where it does a better job than the Linux kernel. Or the only stable ABI, even on Linux - Win32. Linux running on 'billions of devices'

M365 and Azure run on the NT kernel. This blog post makes zero sense.

What would be the purpose behind this? Seems like it might discourage SWF from investing in the US?

That's neat. What about color space calibration, etc.? Any color space calibration hardware ship with Linux-based software?

At least the vendor writes a Windows driver, no matter how bad it is. If your device doesn't work on Linux, you're simply SOL.

It's far from "perfect". It may be "okay" or "acceptable" or even "good", but it lacks perfection.

Valve hardware is a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of a blip for desktop hardware sales. It will not bring the Year of Linux to the Desktop.

Why does this require an LLM? Insurance companies either outline this effectively on their site as they want you to do preventative appointments or you can just call them to get the resources.

Darktable is another piece of software that really shows warts in UX. For example, you can right click empty space to "remove" or "update path to file..." in the left hand rail. There shouldn't be a right click opti

> AHCI drivers are almost never included in the installation disc This was a valid argument with... Windows 9x and XP. Today, not.

There are plenty of prompts, nay, ads , about OneDrive before this ever happens. OneDrive also has a long file history. The user fucked up. Sadly HN even gobbles this shit up with no thought.

One user's stupidity becomes Internet bait for something that's saved so, so much time. I remember playing the backup & restore game when rebuilding my PC, which I just happened to do last night as I received a new SSD. I didn

Actually having just installed OpenSuSe w/ KDE, certain right click menus just generate errors OOTB, or control panels flat out don't work. The UX leaves a lot to be desired.

Even NT4 handled OOM scenarios better than modern Linux. No, it didn't grind to a halt, it would grind the rust off of the spinning platters. But it would continue to run your applications until the application was finished or you inte

Do you have your test harness published somewhere to replicate, i.e. what settings you use for thermals at the UEFI layer as well as OS layer, any scheduler changes you might make, driver versions installed, etc.?

Note my comment was "Linux on the Desktop", not "Linux on Embedded". It's quite obvious that not all software is for one platform or another. It's just the vast majority of Desktop software happens to be Wind

It's difficult to compare embedded to desktop. It's not a market Windows does well today with the available alternatives. And yeah, if you're embedded, by definition you're resource constrained so running Wine makes less
