After 11 months consideration and more experience with osm myself, I gotta agree - even defaulting ‘safe’ is mucking up the dataset in this case

X11vnc works like a dream on X11, couldnt agree more.

There is wayvnc for Wayland supposedly to solve the same problem, but I havent tried it myself yet

‘More equal then the rest’ eh?

Good luck with that, truly an american attitude

Heavily depends on what you use, on a Linux server as a NAS I’m able to get away with 2gb, an orange pi zero 3 1gb but it essentially only ever ones one app at a time.

Im sure a hardcore rgb gamer could need 32gb pretty quick by leaving open twitch streams, discord, a couple games in the background, a couple chrome tabs open all on windows 11

Weird someone has a similar setup to mine, its almost exactly the same (one nvidia one amd? Cause that’d be scary).

Feel like its overkill for most folks though lmao

I’d say nix is hardly niche at this point (although I’m biased cause I use it a ton)

There’s even a termux fork these days that runs nix on droid

Just apple maps and bing under the hood though.

What we really need is some non-super monopoly competition like osm

So slaves?

It sounds like bs but its cause that’s been solved since around Roman times, heres a pretty interesting website on the technique

They could also DDOS essentially anything with root access to that many devices.

Its like taking all the armies guns to throw them in a volcano ‘cause you want to see the world burn’

That being said Microsoft still did hire crowd strike and give them the keys to release an update like this.

End result still is windows having more issues than linux

Hey I havent down voted anything if it helps.

To get a bit more philosophical I think it’s almost important there’s assholes like me in the Linux community; its growing desktop share is great but at the end of the day you have to WANT to use it to make full use of Linux as a tool, and if you are hellbent on finding problems with it you can just leave if you’re not having fun - were not like Microsoft, nor will follow its customs.

I’m glad I’m personally the problem in an OS lol

I’m not gonna lie I don’t think anyone who uses Linux thinks every tool should solve every problem, yeah.

But hey if you want your software to not work you’re free to!

All I do in KDE is right click applications and click edit applications for anyone wondering, as someone as simple as myself only understands GUI’s not fancy folder rearranging

(Like a built in operation? Moving a custom binary to a specific folder is easy? How do you even find this location? And this could be a 2 line script? How much copium you gotta huff to use windows and see its workflow as holy is insane. Ik this ain’t the boy scounts level self sufficient but you gotta have at least one or two thoughts bouncing around to use Linux, and for the love of God know what an OS and window manager do before you use them incorrectly, cause both are compatible across gdm/sddm to gnome/KDE plasma)

I just mean to say that’s all a shortcut is in windows, so liking one and hating another is a bit contradictory.

KDE also has a quite nice application editor

/usr/share/applications buddy

Definitely a broad average but I don’t feel like its unfair to say each generation up is a bit more reserved that the younger

Termux/X11, sideloading, native Godot, file management, devic recycleability/reuseability, THE FUCKING BACK BUTTON, and crazy enough sometimes privacy even against apple’s marketing stance (this is a bit more controversial, but in a high privacy situation things like universal android debloater just can’t exist on apple - and having Icloud ‘helpfully’ store your encryption keys for you has felt as private as keeping it in my garage server)

But hey for some people the fisher-price option is the best option

Of course, but by just saying Linux you’re bound to be wrong somewhere - I’m just highlighting its so broad its an essentially useless definition (42% of all computers run it by the way). Gnome is pretty shit for customisability, so what’s more customisable than having another option?

By looking at ‘just Linux’ you couldn’t be more wrong for the core argument.

It also shifts the blame to many smaller devs like matrix which tbh they’re mostly doing work for free so who’s gonna complain they don’t want to add extra complexity, just get in that source code if you really care. And in the age of such easy frontend engines an experienced could probably whip up their own in a week.

Also ive never had issues with qt/flatpaks, using prism launcher as an example, its seamlessly followed my color scheme (not saying bugs don’t exist somewhere I’m not seeing, but there certainly is 'just works support to some degree).

I you’re gonna be mad people don’t like something, yikes open source isn’t for you - git as a whole all but is designed to handle disagreements without breaking its stride.
