Well, that totally makes sense, thanks. I’ve been doing it the other way around for some reason

Mouthwash before brushing? Because you don’t rinse out the toothpaste?

Yeah, fair enough. I’ve just noticed that a clean setup requires more and more workarounds in regedit and policy editor etc. Updates reenabling stuff like that is just infuriating

Not completely sure, but I believe that is a kernel thing. Hence present on all distros. Perhaps because the kernel is turned for throughput/server workloads. I hope this will be resolved with new schedulers though (e.g., through sched_ext).

My main gripe with windows is that it’s gradually turning to adware/spyware after MS decided to go for that sweet data collection revenue. That also means a shift in the focus of the development of the OS, as it’s not being developed for the benefit of the users anymore.

That, and software development processed are more tedious. Although today I’m sure I could find a workflow that works with WSL or vcpkg.

Edit: Oh, and everything turning to webapps on the desktop. Love staring at white canvas while it waits for a server response.

Probably no ads on your self-hosted frigate/jellyfin pages though, so you can just keep using chrome for that ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Battleblock theater. Silly coop puzzle platformer

Is it possible to disable this organization-wide for the handful of windows devices we have? Or do we have to subscribe to some kind of device management service from MSFT? We currently use standard o365 subscriptions

Cool, that’s great news for Apple users

Apple produces hardware for their walled garden, whereas Google imposes their terms on third parties. I can’t speak to how this works legally, but thats the main difference as far as I understand.

Arch does have a testing repo though

I just lean on tab and let copilot fill the screen with garbage

Yup. We’re mostly a linux shop at work, but Fusion360 is almost the only thing we keep Windows around for

Out of curiosity, which step in the arch install did you have issues with on your first two attempts?

Had the same journey. Thats the thing though, once you start with custom ppas and packages arch becomes much better. Today, users should largely pull in newer programs through snaps/appimage/flatpak, so I think it’s gotten better than it used to be.

Me too, if procastination is a productivity workload 😅

Actually, looks lhe base patents have expired. All the extentions, SSE, AVX are still in effect though

People who do productivity workloads, and not just gaming

therarbg.com is a good mirror/clone

We have more local computing power than ever, but getting more and more chained to online services. Ah, the irony
