Manjaro is better than Ubuntu as a workstation and for developers it's better than Windows in my opinion. I've been trying out Linux desktops for 20 years and it's the only one that got me to switch. I've been on Manjaro

Which distribution of Windows 10? I'm thinking it's only the Home version. I just setup Windows 10 Pro for my brother in-law yesterday and had no problem choosing a local account.

Never heard of it, but I'm always happy to be part of the 10% of exceptional people. Thanks for the explanation!

Man, I hate comments like this. At least leave a link to whatever it is that you’re referencing or say why you think it's relevant.

Yes it is. Just confirmed on Windows with a new install. The very first screen on first open nags you to signup, the top menu item is “Sign in to Firefox”, there’s a notification dot on the user icon with the Sign in nag there, the Pocket b

No, this is incorrect. I was down-towned for simply pointing out that Firefox nags you to sign in. I detailed each UI measure they took. Nothing but pure facts that are easily verifiable.

MS Edge now has an edge over Chrome too - it’s even leaner, lighter and faster. If they would just release it for Linux already I’d be using it everywhere.

You’re not allowed to say anything bad about Firefox or Mozilla around these parts without being heavily censored in case you hadn’t noticed :)

I opted out of that once in Chrome and I never saw it again. I see no way to opt out of all the nags Firefox gives me.

They've got it plastered around the UI. It's the very top menu item. It's also in the Pocket address bar button right under where they advertise to you to "Sign up for Pocket. It's freeeeeee!" Not only that, bu

Yes it is. IDE = integrated development environment. It has integrated git. It has integrated debuggers. It has integrated database tools. It has integration on tap, with extensions.

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful response.

What was so bad about my comment? Saying that I don’t support Mozilla/Firefox or just not being anti-Google enough? Also, the guy that you’re responding to simply said that I seemed angry. How is that a personal attack? Somebody else r

Incorrect. Mozilla is responsible for their shitty market share, not me. I don't test with the Opera, QQ, Yandex or Sogou Explorer browsers either - just to name a few other tiny niche browsers... Do you??

Can you find an article or video about these recently manufactured pronouns that has a majority of comments that are supportive? Because I certainly can't. As I said to the other responder - even the gays are against it AFAICT since ar

No it’s not. It’s an opportunity to fix things once for everyone instead of having to fix things a hundred times for a hundred different operating systems.

BeOS users can still use that if they want. Nothing stopping them at all.

There is no problem with a monoculture based around a common browser kernel. Proof: Every cloud company uses Linux and this has created nothing but opportunity for ~~Linux users~~ everyone!

IMO discussion forums should show the user comments that they'd likely agree with instead of comments that some majority-of-the-moment agrees with. Sorting comments on a majority average is such a dumb metric. The Internet would be a b

No, this is incorrect. It’s open source. It’s like saying that because Microsoft Amazon and Google all use Linux - that we’ll have no innovation.

by wayneftw 7y ago
Just because a common open source engine has been decided upon doesn’t mean there’s no competition or that no innovation can happen.

Battlefield Heroes was a favorite of mine that I can’t play anymore because EA took down the servers. There is a guy running a pirate server but hardly anybody plays on it.
