I find that the docs usually consist of a quick start guide covering some ultra tight scenario that doesn’t apply to most people, and reference material that’s just some total brain dump of every possible command without any kind of context.

Maybe let them know how many people skipped their question?

If you like Zorin and want to support it then just do it. Don’t let other people tell you to switch, more people should contribute.

I know but it’s cheap.

OneDrive works pretty well on Linux actually. Takes a few lines of config and there’s no GUI but it’ll sync a folder nicely and run as a service.

I know everyone always says Nestlé in threads like this but what are they still doing? What damage would you save by getting rid of them?

Everyone keeps complaining about smart TVs. I’ve got a Samsung and it gives me no bother. The only thing I don’t like is that when you turn it on, if you don’t do anything, it automatically switches to the last thing you were watching which often means my daughter might end up putting on some horror channel or whatever we were watching the night before after she went to bed.

There’s already alternatives, why not just let them take over? Trump complained about the US giving up DNS, now he’s complaining about CVE. He wants to control everything but doesn’t want to pay for it.

I just installed openSUSE last night and I was thinking at the time about how crappy and dated the installer is. I mean, it does the job if you know what you’re doing but it certainly doesn’t even try to make it easy for anyone non-techie.

I’m not really a fan of Calamares, I think the whole concept of booting into an OS and then using it to install another OS is a bit weird and could confuse people.

I don’t think it’s ever going to happen without corporate backing. Maybe community run efforts can afford to have a few volunteers do some coding in their spare time, but volunteers don’t generally want to work on the boring stuff like the polish that users expect nowadays, and they’re never going to be able to run things like R&D, focus groups, etc, to get ahead of Fortune 500 companies. All they can do is see what works and copy, that’s basically all the community developed stuff has ever done.

Look at ChromeOS, it’s already got more users than Linux. If the Year of Linux ever happens it’ll look more like the Year of Chrome

I hope they’re going to keep the late 90s theme from Thunderbird. Maybe a dancing baby gif.

Oh no

If they know Siri’s shit then why can’t I have my power button back?

I don’t want a small phone, I just want a normal phone that I can use in one of my normal sized hands. I have an iPhone 13 Mini right now and it’s pretty ideal but I know they’ll go end of life one day and there’s nothing to replace it right now.

I’m no Windows fanboy but I have to use it quite a lot, at home and at work. I don’t know what versions or settings you guys have set up but I’ve never had a Windows update I can’t postpone, ever.

Donald Trump isn’t stupid.

Most people think UNIX and Linux are the same thing so this makes sense. Obviously to us they aren’t but for most people it really doesn’t matter. I’m sure they’ll still sleep at night.

Won’t happen. Enforcing this would cost way too much.

I knew a guy who did this and had to fly to Germany to fix it because he didn’t want to admit what he’d done.

I only go on it occasionally to check out niche stuff but I’m unsubscribed to most of the defaults anyway. I still find Lemmy too extreme left wing but at least I don’t have to put up with all those crappy in-jokes.
