Maybe try explaining what you meant instead of complaining that everyone is misunderstanding you. I dont see any context clues in there to indicate you mean anything other than the standard accepted meaning of “soyboy”

it still whips the llamas ass.

I knew quite a few linux fans who went with Apple laptops when OSX came out. At the time it was the best thing available that had unix under the hood which made it really powerful in the right hands.

that is not a thin-client in the traditional sense, just a small form factor (1liter) pc. Thin clients were minimal spec machines that were made to connect to a much more powerful server somewhere on the network that did all the work. The thin client handled the display and I/O.

Mini PCs are generally a far better deal than a Pi and much more powerful for any kind general computing use.

ebay seems to just be a place for scammers and people selling used items for new prices.

“GIMP can’t do X”

=

“GIMP works differently than I am used to”

Same goes for Blender, Libre Office, Thunderbird and many other tools

No need to be rude.

It seems to me that Mactan was hoping for some independent recent benchmarks.

Only thing I can find is this OS News article saying it should be in the 6.10 kernel

I can not find any confirmation that it is.

Something like a Vacancy Tax would be helpful in insuring that more housing is available, it would do little to create more home ownership because the land itself is expensive even if nothing is on it.

I see this as smart use of land. Instead of another Big Box store and sprawling parking lot the city gets the store and 800 more apartments in the same footprint.

I suggest trying Cinnamon and see how it feels. Unless your old notebook has less than 2GB RAM then you will probably be aok. I have run it on some pretty weak machines before and never found XFCE to be noticeably snappier.

Sadly I think I threw out my BeOS 5 install CD when I moved last year. For me it was a very neat tool but Linux/KDE was superior.

peanut butter cookie = essential

no.ice.

IIRC part of that issue was that the Windows version of the same computer was cheaper because of MS licensing. For Linux nerds at the time it made more sense to buy the Windows version and do what they had always done, reinstall with the Linux of their choice.

However, once the prompt to upgrade to Windows 11 appears, 99% will click “yes” and

be informed that their computer does not support Win11

and forget about it.

Winamp still whips the Llamas ass.

I have had some good luck with Bottles.

Professional encoders who fully understand the encoders and the schemes in use and care about not seeing artifacting or low quality would never intentionally go as low as 300mb for a feature length movie of even an hour. Yes there are people who do such things but they’re not well regarded and it won’t look even passable on anything larger than a phone screen.

This has not been well regarded since the days when DivX ruled the pirate scene, and even then cramming a film onto a 600MB CD left a lot to be desired.

Like it or not Wayland is going to be the future of Desktop Linux. Preparing for that future is a good thing.
