I’d thoroughly erased it’s existence from my mind it seems. It’s the reason I went back upstream to Debian many moons ago.

I assume 6.6.6 will be the LTS release?

They do it all the time, but then ‘balance’ it with something terrible. (these aren’t in chronological order)

• Upstart - good idea.

• PulseAudio wayyyy too early - bad idea.

• Unity - good idea

• Mir (display server) - bad idea

Third time’s a charm for Vyatta/eBox?

I don’t see any paid support subscriptions yet, so maybe it’ll work this time.

I’ve often described Europe as being the ‘other end of the internet’ since from Australia it’s often routed over the Pacific to US(via Hawaii and either Guam or New Zealand), over the US, then over the Atlantic.

tu.berlin is 316ms away.

JamesDSP is nice too.

It’s not at all like MacOS.

KDE is closer to finder than Gnome Shell.

It’s not so much just an aesthetic, you can make KDE and even GNOME look much more like MacOS than eOS will and KDE can even to an extent act like Finder (GNOME not so much, they’re too ideologically different)

But Pantheon is designed to act like Finder. (whilst trying to not infringe on Apple’s designs) It’s the closest thing functionally to the modern Finder outside OpenSTEP.

It’s a lot easier to switch Distros than switching from Windows or MacOS to Linux in the first place.

But you’re still going to be reinstalling the OS and all your programs again.

However - You can try most Linux distros without installing them, like give it a go for a night, if you don’t like it at all, nothing has changed. If you do, maybe try another night (and another) if you really like it, make the choice.

I’d not rather have no PC.

I’ll just keep my existing PC(s).

Also I guess it’d Lumberjacky/Lumberjacqueline

Does Gnome have a proper file picker yet?

If you have a job

Where you work remotely on your own computer connecting to a corporate network.

That doesn’t affect most of us with jobs…

muh sekrit club!

You’re happy when your computer tells you “no”

This also an affliction of the GNOMEs.

Plasma/KDE as a first class citizen.

KDE is second-class to GNOME on Fedora.

They should use this technology we used purely for uh… "Linux ISOs’ back is the day.

BitTorrent.

Raspi4?

$94 from PiAustralia, or $144 with a case, psu, cables, etc from RS. (both 4GB version, 2GB stock hasn’t been reliable since Covid)

Plays h.264/265 at 60fps fine, does 10bit too both via hardware accel, can play 1080p vp9 but it’s CPU decode only, can’t handle AV1.

2x minihdmi, USB-C for power (needs 5V 3A), 802.11ac and BT5, pcie ethernet.

Raspi5 is a lot more money and removed h264 hardware accel.

One MAC might have multiple IP addresses.

You’re right that it’s unfortunate that one American entity gets to decide ipv4/v6 address space though.

They zigged when we all zagged.

Decentralisation has always been the answer.

You’ve mentioned in the thread you’ve on Debian 12 - have you installed mesa from backports?

The version of mesa on 12 is is 22.3.6 which is before the release of the 7900GRE and only very early RDNA3 support.

bookworm-backports has 25.0.7

If you read through https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ you can enable the backports repo then just reinstall mesa (or dist-upgrade)
