My Linux system uses about 1 GB idle and yet I’m glad to have 16 GB - not because I wouldn’t mostly be fine with 8, but because it just keeps more doors open. Can run more demanding programs, more programs simultaneously, can host something in the background, …
The OS itself is more efficient than Windows, yes. But that’s not a hard task, and it’s less efficient than many Linux distros. No matter how efficient you are, 8 GB non-expandable RAM is not enough nowadays.

You can see how much of an impact this has - in my (rich European) country only 30% use apple devices and everyone uses WhatsApp for communication (also not good but far better than imessage, and there’s a slow shift towards signal happening)
Don’t tempt me into distro-hopping again ;)
Oh wow, thanks! How do they sustain the hosting costs? Donations?
Was it dead? If it was: Yes. Last update 15d ago (on the F-Droid version).
Firefox sync works on all Firefox forks (I’m using LibreWolf on Linux and Fennec on Android for example)
Totally sounds like a waste of computing power and therefore battery life, but the concept of fascinating
Oh wow, sounds impressive, thanks
What had a 3d effect? Selfies?
What’s dynamic perspective?
👍 never had to start over
My daily driver is an nvidia laptop with opensuse, takes like one afternoon to get everything ready with barely any former Linux experience.
Just use zypper (or yast) to add the proprietary nvidia repository (or nouveau) and install your drivers. Install everything else you need through zypper (or yast or flatpak). Familiarise yourself with keybinds, set new keybinds (not needed of course but its nice to know keybinds - if you’re using KDE already they’ll probably be the same anyway). Select KDE’s dark “breeze for OpenSUSE” theme (or some other theme, but breeze for opensuse just is so polished). Configure other preferences (night light from sundown to sunrise, set up Firefox sync (if you use that), connect to onedrive or whichever cloud you’re using, … . Done. No need to wait :)
The reasons why China can produce so much cheaper than Germany are because Germany pays fair wages, has to get enough taxes to pay for free healthcare and the welfare system, provides free access to education (including universities), has very high environmental standards, …
You may be calling a social democracy “soul-crushing capitalist system”. I call it home (not Germany specifically but also a social democracy), freedom for everyone to follow their dreams (you can be completely poor and still study whatever you want (with a side job if subsidies aren’t high enough) to get the job you want).
When I need medical help I go to the hospital (or even call an ambulance if it’s urgent), get treated, and leave without having to pay anything. For university I’m paying 27€ (~30$) per semester. On the streets you barely see homeless people because there are places where they can go to find food, shelter and advice. Etc.
Paying 50% of my income (only like 30% when not earning that much) in taxes is well worth it. Sure, private insurance might be better for me personally. But it brings me joy to be able to support this system, all those happy people are well worth the slight extra cost.
Not regulating China when they did the same with photovoltaic cells is what destroyed the German photovoltaic industry, which before that was leading.

Still a breakthrough for them, so still nice to hear. Yes its Microsoft, but its still nice to see progress in research.
RTX3060, no issues for me after installing the driver
