No, it’s not hard. By default open source drivers will run, but you can install the nvidia ones through driver manager and everything should just work.

No, it should work out of the box through the open source driver. But, for most people the Nvidia driver (closed) works without issues, you need to install it through driver manager app.

Some countries have pretty strict laws about not promoting Nazi ideology - by pushing that notifications it would probably be breaking that law.

Stolen? It was forked as is allowed by the MIT license. With GPL as well there is no „you cannot fork” rule, you can do exactly the same thing. The author misunderstood that „you have to push the changes to upstream”, which is not in any of those licenses.

I’ve looked at the sources of this paper, and it looks like the grams of CO2 per email are taken out of the ass, as it’s just a random value in „SAMRIDDHI Volume 15, Issue 1, 2023 Print ISSN: 2229-7111 Online ISSN: 2454-5767 Survey on Carbon Dioxide Emissions Through Email Conversion”

Counter-counter point: people don’t get a Mac or windows laptop to learn about osx or windows. They generally want to run software or at least browser to do what they need to do.

Uh, memory metrics in Linux are a pain. The only tool that reports most cached as available is htop. free, top and a lot of other software (like node_exporter) will report that a lot of cached memory is not available.

To OP: don’t worry, a lot of Linux tools are smart enough to give back memory if memory pressure rises.

Microsoft is big tech, and GitHub is owned by y Microsoft.

This. Well put.

This is not an unusual comment section on Phoronix, to put it mildly.

Dark Arc is spot on, also, the original package is taken off from snap store due to Twilio killing their authy desktop app:

It’s not about not using safety standards.

It’s about learning how to drive in a way that you won’t put anyone else in danger.

Safety fearures are only a tool, you are the person who controls a 2000 pound vehicles that can kill others, so drive responsibly.

This is so fucking stupid because you can apply it to literally any safety standard.

And then you write something exactly opposite.

OP writes about “drive to the conditions” which is like… Your responsibility as the driver. If you can’t react to people on the road, slow down.

And you write about being recless.

OP wanted a fun child project, but it’s not fun anymore, just responsibilities.

The problem I see is just a difference between expectations and reality.

Expectations were: it would be fun to give people something for free, create open source, be part of some community. Maybe even get some recognition, maybe better job offers.

Reality is: noone cares about your open source project enough to pay for it.

And such is life. Noone stops you from just stopping working on it, and that’s an adult option. All open source licences have a clause like “I don’t own you nothing”, and maybe that’s the moment to use it.

I could get a beefy windows machine for the price of my M2 air. I’m a software dev and I’ve recently switched from Windows 10 box and Linux laptop.

If you look at the other top stories on Technology, you see:

• MS mentions pushing AI search to Windows 10
• MS asks you for reasons to close OneDrive

For last month, MS was pastering me to create a web account to login to my old win10 machine.

And essentially, MS got me soo tired with all this bullshit, that I’ve switched to Apple. And the only thing that I have to be aware of, is that it often makes sense to wait before upgrading system version.
