I think this is just for news and articles.

I wonder if there are spikes at 1980-01-01, 1990-01-01 and 2000-01-01.

Uuuuh…
To be fair, I am dumb.

Huh, that’s possible, thanks.

It’s not stomach acid. Hell, you can sort of use spit as lube, I am sure it’s fine.

Because it’s “no stupid questions”.

It works well for recalling something you already know, whether it be computer or human language. What’s a word for… what’s a command/function that does…

I only have experience with Plasma, but on X11 when I tap on the screen, it emulates a mouse click where I tap. And it also does when I swipe my finger, like holding a clicked mouse and moving the pointer. And gestures don’t work, though I think that one can be fixed.

Wayland just works. When I want to select text, press and hold like on a phone. When scrolling something, I just swipe it like on a phone (except for LibreOffice, that one is an absolute mess on Wayland). Especially nice with drawing programs. Stylus acts just like what I described with finger on X11 - it controls mouse pointer.
In effect this means that with fingers I can move around and zoom, while with stylus I can draw or select text.

And then GTK 4.20 breaks Rnote and I can only use it via Xwayland…

Anyway, for a touchscreen device, I had more luck with Wayland.

I thought I’d be fine, that I’d buy the other 16GB stick later. Now is later, I am screwed. I had to enable the use of ALT-SysRq-f to manually invoke OOM-killer because I often run out of RAM.

8GB just feels like way too little for a new laptop. Well, maybe the absolutely cheap ones, but “mid-range”, no.

It’s crazy. A bit over a year ago I got a refurbished ThinkPad for €180 with 1x16GB of RAM. Now that RAM costs around €120.

I prefer Wayland because I use a 2-in-1 ThinkPad. No thanks X11, I don’t want a click on touch mouse pointer.

Last time I went to therapist.
I only remembered at work. I tried to text him, but didn’t get a response, and I really struggle with phone calls. I don’t know why. It’s even worse than talking in person for me.
Like, I’ll go to some lengths to avoid phone calls.
My favorite is turning off VoLTE/VoNR/VoWiFi and 2G/3G leaving no way to connect phone calls.
OR, after 3G shutoff leave that on. On the other party’s side the dialing will actually wait for the impossible handover, so they might not even blame my phone.
Possible outcomes (caller side):

1. (Common) “The person you are calling is not available at the moment.”
2. (Rare) Silence until disconnect during dialing
3. (Legendary) “It has not been possible to connect your call.”

I’ve also played around with conditional forwarding for this. On busy works for hang up. And my carrier seems to use a separate phone number for handling unreachable situation. Copy pasting it from “when unreachable” to “when busy” lets me pretend to be disconnected on demand. Now, it can still make people suspicious, as it usually doesn’t ring before that message.
Another one is a test phone number, but unfortunately that one is considered a regular call, so it would cost others money, but “Welcome to CARRIER_NAME network” on infinite loop is funny too.

Problem is, Linux Mint installer says nothing about that as far as I recall, and just offers a convenient slider to allocate space between Windows and Linux.

And that was my first computer. Yeah, I am relatively new to computers.

But hey, I only lasted with Windows for 2 days. In Windows 10 I couldn’t even wrap my head around when to use Control Panel and when settings, because look, mature OS, we have Settings 1 and Settings 2.
In comparison, Linux Mint 20 MATE was far simpler, so having really used neither, I went with the easier one. However, that doesn’t mean I had any idea what I was doing. I didn’t even understand the concept of partitions.
Just imagine a total newbie.
“Where is the file stored?”
“On… the computer…?”

And then there’s some Kaufland higher up insisting we are supposed to organize that.

Just boot partition?

I once installed Linux Mint by shrinking Windows 10 partition in Linux against the recommendations. On first Windows boot it seemed fine, except that C: was still showing the old size.
On next Windows reboot it got annihilated with “Repairing drive C:”.

XcQ
don’t click you!

That’s why I say “for future people”.

For the future people, who will be curious what is actually under that number: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/4269

I’d like something like on Cisco equipment.

Tab completes a command
? prints possible options with brief descriptions, filtered by starting letters if you already typed anything
if there is just one option left, you can just use it directly, so you can write shortened commands (similar to ip commands on Linux)

Based on nothing I’ll go with B.

I probably got something like that. I am not really into minimal installs, kde-applications-meta and plasma-meta is what I go with. Absolutely everything.

I just wish I could safely use KDE Discover for updates. That’s probably what would work with “apply updates on reboot”, which sounds like the safest option. But for some reason packagekit-qt6 which would (probably) make this possible is not recommended to use.

Preferably I’d go with something like KDE Neon or Kubuntu. I just really like KDE. But there’s just no sweet spot for me. Arch gives me new packages with all the bugs. Each update feels scary, what will I discover. Based on my Timeshift notes, last point without major bugs was 31st of October. Something like Linux Mint was stable, but I was missing some newer packages, and even drivers when my laptop was new. And major version upgrades also feel scary. Although, I don’t even know how they work. This is where Arch makes more sense to me. Linux as desktop OS is really just a huge bunch of packages working together, and they slowly get updated. When packaged into an entire OS, how do you even define a version?
