  • If you don't use a semicolon directly in MySQL it won't do anything until you add it.

  • Same, many elements are blurry when I use scaling in Arch with KDE.

  • I didn't say I couldn't fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you'll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there's all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft's own Surface line.

    For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn't install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.

    This has happened for multiple versions.

  • Try Windows. It regularly breaks drivers (not only WiFi) on some hardware (mostly HP). I've never had issues with WiFi on Linux on HP, Dell, Microsoft Surface and even a Macbook.

  • Ram usage is really nothing to worry about depending on the amount you have. Windows will free ram where needed as long as there is enough. If ram is not being used by applications it will be used for other things (it will be cached I believe?). If almost no ram is being used it means some things might take longer to load.

    Windows on my Surface Go 2 used about 3-4GB of ram when idle, while on my work laptop with 64GB ram it uses about 10-12GB. But if necessary applications can use some of that ram that's normally being used in idle.

    I do agree about Linux distros being faster, that's my experience as well.

  • I seem to remember that Carbon also doesn't need Origin, or am I wrong? I also think that it was awesome.

  • Oh, is that so?

    Jump

  • Not really, it's a pretty simple command that not everyone uses anyway. -s is for shutdown, -t for time. There are more complicated things in the Windows command line interface.

    Jump

  • Nope, I use it all the time if I'm going home from work. Works like a charm.

  • Windows + r, shutdown -s -t 0, enter

  • Bethesda Is Responding to Negative Reviews of Starfield on Steam

    Jump

  • It's relevant because it's there. If you don't play those parts it doesn't mean it's there. They put the time in other things more important to the game than transitions. Also, the engine is completely different.

  • Google is putting ads in gmail. WTF?

    Jump

  • Isn't that labels thing the same as using the + in Gmail? You can use myname+spam@gmail.com to register somewhere, and if you receive anything else on that email address you'll know they shared your email address.

  • So basically they had enough examples to learn from, but completely ignored it and do the same?

  • No need, if Ubuntu works out of the box then Debian also works most of the time. I've never had to install drivers for ethernet or wifi. The installer is a bit less graphical, but it will connect in a few "clicks", even wifi works for the installer.

  • Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice

  • On the other hand, if you buy something, check what you're buying. Don't complain if you don't even know what you're buying.

  • In the Netherlands as well, as well as when you buy stuff at a store. There's always a small fee when you use a debit or credit card.

  • I barely have to use the commandline, that's more for power users. And that's on Arch (after configuring everything the way I want). On distros like Mint it's not even necessary after a fresh install. I used to help people with their pc, and to my surprise I came across Linux Mint multiple times, at older people no less.

  • That's because it is a perfectly viable consumer os. At least the distros are, Linux is just the kernel. What makes a distro an industrial os? I wouldn't use Arch for industrial purposes. So no, I won't accept that I use an industrial os, because it isn't.

  • Debian does use systemd, but what's so bad about it? I'm just curious, I'm using Arch with KDE, and that also uses systemd. Never had any issues with it. Debian doesn't use snap by default though.

  • Just install EndeavorOS lol

  • It's a great distro to learn a lot about Linux. I challenged myself to install it on my Surface Go 2, and make it usable as a tablet, as well as make it boot with secure boot and more. Now it's happily running Arch with KDE, using the linux-surface kernel signed with my own secure boot key and a pacman hook that signs that kernel after every update. I learned all of this acompanied by a lot of fuckups and reinstalls, until I was able to fix things after breaking them instead of starting from scratch.
