This is a byproduct of one of the largest and more ignored differences between windows and linux. The fact that Linux let's you modify files while they are open whereas windows doesn't.

This means that you can update a linux system by just replacing the files with the new ones while it runs. On the other side, Windows can't modify its own files while it runs, so instead it has a second entire OS to update itself, and requires a reboot to unload all the files and boot from the updater without locking windows files.

If farenheit represents how humans feel then 50 is the most comfortable temperature right?

UBI works too by Espi in c/memes@lemmy.ml

UBI is a way to make capitalism more fair. One important fact about capitalism that seemingly everyone forgot is that competition is a requirement for it to work.

If there is fierce competition in all markets, even if everyone is getting UBI, price hikes are impossible.

Great experience with Wayland on Nvidia with GNOME 44 (lemmy.world)

I mostly use AMD and have been using Wayland since GNOME 40 without any problems, loving the consistently perfect frames and fantastic scaling (with Wayland programs, but nowadays I use nearly no X11-only programs).

I tried Nvidia with Wayland a few times and it always was a clusterfuck. I remember when Nvidia just released GBM support on their drivers I actually compiled my own Mutter to try Wayland because there was a bug with the hardware cursor that overflowed the GPU memory. I even tried eglstreams a few times with the Nvidia-developed GNOME backend. No matter what, I always had problems with invisible programs, programs leaving trails like the cards falling in Windows 98 Solitaire when moving the window, slow programs, blurry programs, unresponsive programs, etc.

Today I tried again Nvidia with GNOME 43/Wayland on Debian 12 and also experienced lots of the same issues as I always had. I then moved to Sid with GNOME 44 and was pleasantly surprised to see nearly all my issues just go away. Have not seen any invisible programs, nor any trails behind windows when moved. I have seen abnormally slow programs though, the GNOME terminal seems to struggle when scrolling fullscreen, whereas my laptop with and AMD APU works perfectly.

Currently happily using GNOME 44 with Wayland on Nvidia, never thought I would get to say this. I'm hyped for GNOME 45 to drop in Sid!

Bill Gates take on Climate change by Espi in c/climate@slrpnk.net

Exactly. The first thing we need to do is stop extracting extra carbon from the ground.

Then we literally need to start reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, probably by literally growing trees, cutting them down and them straight up burying them deep underground.

It's vulnerabilities month or what?

What distro do you use and why? by Espi in c/linux@lemmy.world

[-] Espi@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Debian on desktop, Debian on server, Debian on my VMs and Debian on my containers.

I used to use Fedora and CentOS, then Fedora and Alma Linux but since RH decided to be evil I decided to go full community distro.

Debian has actually gotten really usable lately. Bookworm is fantastic and whenever I want a newer version of something I use Flatpak knowing that the base below is rock solid.

At that point just make pi 1 for even easier calculation

I'm loving that new activities indicator! way better than just saying "activities"

They just want money

Now that's some devotion! by Espi in c/politicalmemes@lemmy.world

So maybe tax the rich? As long as there is a single person who can't afford to feed their kids, the government should feed them.

Why Linux is better for (most) developers! by Espi in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] Espi@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

Nowadays with WSL Windows is pretty good. Pretty much anything you can do on Linux you can do on Windows.

Now, not being worse is not really a point towards Windows. For developers its absolutely not worth it tanking the horrible storage performance, preinstalled ads and handing your soul to Microsoft for the privilege of not being worse than native Linux.
