Unfortunately, GTK is much prettier than QT.

Huh, odd. I never had these issues, even though I use an Nvidia card with a VRR monitor. All my peripherals (webcam, printer, bluetooth earbuds) work out of the box, too. But maybe I’m just lucky.

If being ready means “runs Windows applications” to you, then obviously Windows will always be the best choice.

Like, what a metric lol

Next you’re gonna tell me MacOS isn’t ready either, because you can’t play many Windows games on it as well

Complaining about hardware compatibility on Linux while Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs is crazy.

Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs. The amount of hardware that runs Windows 11 without tinkering is a tiny fraction of the hardware that runs Fedora Workstation without tinkering.

Linux is much better with drivers and hardware support than Windows. Windows only works well if you use the very small subset of hardware it supports.

Another upside is the easy permission management.

You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app’s file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.

It’s not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.

Eh, the AfD has always, and still does, represent some extreme positions that the CDU is still far away from. Remember that the AfD was founded as an anti-EU party, a position they still hold. The CDU has only really copied the AfD when it comes to migration. Otherwise they are still very different.

Even the Merz CDU is left wing compared to US democrats. Remember all the social programs we have, for example public healthcare.

Context for the non-Germans: The CDU has led our government for 16 out of the last 20 years. The CDU leading is not a significant shift. But the pressure that’s being put on by the AfD is certainly an issue.

You can leave off your tinfoil hat; the surveys (by many different organisations) predicted this result fairly accurately.

NixOS and Guix are both very beginner-unfriendly. If you’re not very comfortable with Linux and its command line, I’d recommend against using them for personal systems.

I think it’s referring to the driver version 570, which isn’t stable yet but working fine in beta.

I use Wayland with Nvidia (proprietary beta driver) every day (including for applications running over Wine) and have no issues.

So while some may still have issues, I certainly wouldn’t call it “completely busted”.

same with vrr

Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year

Not doubting them, but I don’t understand how that’s possible.

Storing the email addresses and expiration dates takes an irrelevant amount of storage space, even if they had billions of cutomers.

Sending the emails should also not cost thousands, even if a significant amount of customers regularly let their certificates expire (which hopefull isn’t the case).

So where are the tens of thousands of yearly costs coming from?

all the downvotes confirm the ccp is here

Not all who disagree with you are paid by a government. Sometimes people just think your take is bad.

I personally think it’s good that the USA did it back then and I think it’s good that China does it now.

Independence and wealth for all.

Tl;dr: They use proper workflows for building the OS.

No Idea why they advertise this on their end-customer facing sites.
