I have to disagree on side details: OS X did have version numbers starting with 10. I used it between Panther and Yosemite and I can remember Tiger being called version 10.4; it was literally printed on the installation disc.

Yes, that means “Mac OS X 10.0” had two tens right after one another. Apple aren’t Microsoft silly when it comes to names but they can be silly.

Also, it wasn’t introduced as OS X. It was “Mac OS X” until 10.7, then “OS X” until 10.11, and “macOS” since then.

Clean lines and a warm color scheme might be a good middle ground. The old version’s wallpapers were a bit too busy and the new one definitely looks way too sterile.

But yeah, of I had to choose I’d go with the old one.

I’d certainly like to assnuke all those slop videos. Close enough to what they typed.

The second move is for target acquisition and often precedes a pounce. The wide pupils let in more light, enabling a more precise pounce.

Why the cat’s body is preparing to pounce is entirely situational. Maybe it’s a hunt, maybe it’s play, maybe it’s just because the cat is being a little overenergetic derp. When you spend time living with a cat you usually learn to identify them pretty reliably. Especially the last one.

A Backstroke of the West screenshot is definitely an inspired choice for the “keep above others” feature.

As does Arch AFAIK. It’s still very niche, though.

You see, that’s just inaccurate. GNU/Linux is not equivalent to GNU+Linux. That would be addition; this is division. The bigger Linux gets, the smaller GNU/Linux becomes.

That’s why they’ve developed GNU/Hurd. Hurd is unlikely to ever amount to much, meaning that GNU/Hurd will never evaluate to a small value. And that is cold, hard mathematical fact.

I have. Never had your machine just sit there and refuse to boot because a network share is down? Or because the wifi isn’t connected yet?

I absolutely have. The solution wasn’t found in the init system, though, but by giving my NFS mounts the nofail option in /etc/fstab. Filesystem handling isn’t init’s job.

Overall I haven’t had significantly more or less issues with systemd over OpenRC. I’m not a particularly big fan of their approach to things but their init system is perfectly serviceable.

Or you could go for a tiered scheme where the device is free if the owner’s income is below a certain level. There’s always options; whether or not they’re taken is another question.

Both options are potentially bad for low-income earners. If you force them to pay for a speed limiter they lost the money for that, which they might not able to afford. If you take away their license they will have difficulty getting around and might lose their job.

So from that perspective the speed limiter might be the less dangerous choice.

Garuda has fans. A bit much for me.

When you take away the garish KDE theme the gaming spin ships with it’s pretty much just an opinionated ready-to-go gaming Arch with a bunch of convenience tools. If that’s what you want then Garuda is pretty neat.

Agreed. Oddly enough, my Meshtastic contacts are much farther away than my farthest MeshCore contacts but MeshCore seems to be much livelier.

I think they’re talking about Planet Zoo, not Project Zomboid. After all, they’re talking about “expanding the zoo” and comparing it to Planet Coaster.

I fully switched to Linux in 2024, my last desktop Linux experience before that being at least five years prior.

• Windows behaves a bit more gracefully then Linux when the VRAM is being exhausted. On Linux I can get graphics artifacts and sometimes Steam crashing. That mainly becomes relevant when doing GPGPU stuff, though; gaming works fine.
• Some apps use GTK4. Since GTK3, GNOME has been moving away from a “regular” desktop experience and towards this weird pseudo-mobile thing that goes against all established conventions. That might be nice if you really like their style and use nothing but GNOME, but it’s really annoying if you don’t. I long for the good old days where action buttons weren’t crammed into title bars.
• Occasionally having to manually fix package updates. Only an issue because my distro is Arch-based and that kind of stuff is to be expected there.
• I haven’t managed to get three-finger swipe mapped to PgUp/PgDn so far but I use the trackpad rarely enough that I haven’t bothered investing time into it yet.
• Occasionally the system just shits itself when rapidly switching between different users’ desktop sessions. Again, that happens so rarely that I haven’t bothered trying to deal with it yet.

On the other hand, I’m happier than expected with Wayland and PipeWire. They just work with little fuss. Sure, I’m a KDE user and Wayland is reportedly less fun outside the big DEs, but for me it just works.

The letters are too consistent (each “O” looks the same etc). It’s a font.

Steam tends to have massive issues with permissions for games on NTFS partitions. You might’ve run into that.

Other lessons from the sign:

• You may send radio broadcasts to origami birds.
• We encourage you to dip your hands into any glasses of sparkling water.
• Do not swing progress bars around.
• Violence against butterfly skewers is forbidden.

I do agree with you but have to note that this might be the most sensible use of Copilot I’ve seen so far.

GUI disk space analyzers are absolutely amazing.

For those who prefer KDE and/or donut graphs, Filelight has you covered.
