Worked a call center in a past life, went crazy because it’s back to back to back calls to hit my numbers. Suddenly there’s time for employees to watch their AI bullshit?? Maybe instead just let people take a walk, use the bathroom, and cool off between calls? Seems a lot easier…

There are system dialogs that have unused space for ads, still plenty to improve!

In all seriousness, cloud (azure) and office subscriptions blew up and account for like 70% of MS profits. They know the Windows experience is lacking, but when they already capture so much of the market and it’s such a small slice of revenue, they have no incentive to improve.

The combined forces of microsoft reaching new heights of greed and intrusion, plus the massive dev efforts for the best ever GNU Linux and Proton 📈📈📈

I read too fast you said found the receiver, haha. Yep, supported! Hopefully plug and play 🤞

Arch wiki says

Both the wired and wireless (with the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows) controllers are supported by the xpad kernel module and should work without additional packages.

I guess my question is, have you tried plugging in the receiver? You’ll need the receiver for it to work, they are 2.4Ghz not BT

I had this same question, I learned “meat” chickens are called broiler chickens, they were bred to put on weight rapidly. Egg laying chickens are separate breed and grow slower or won’t grow to the size of a broiler. The industry is limited by containment footage, so they wouldn’t use a male egg laying chick where they could house a broiler.

Touch it the right way and it’ll raise straight up for you, if you know what I mean.

Damn why that not in the sidebar

Don’t fret you didn’t break any rules. The original artist is a bit of a knob for watermarking it, clearly doesn’t want anyone stealing his art generated from stolen art. The skateboard’s warped geometry is a dead giveaway.

Edit: I’m wrong your broke rules that are in mega thread, directly to jail

Watermarking AI images 🙄

I use rsync with a systemd timer. When I first installed the backup drive it took a while to build the file system, but now every Monday it runs, finds the difference between source and target drive, and pulls just the changes down for backup. It’s pretty quick, doesn’t do any compression or anything like that.

This is a fair default and warning to the user.

Sounds like you’re rolling your own immutable os, in a way. Masochistic is an accurate description.

Hey op, after doing reading, I’m confident you can just dnf remove @gnome-desktop. The .config files will not be impacted. Applications with overlapping KDE dependencies will belong to two groups, and the operation will keep the ones that include the KDE group. I still recommend a backup.

It shouldn’t but I’m hesitant to say it won’t. Back up all the things you don’t want to lose, this is not a risk free maneuver. However in my limited experience it was the opposite - it’ll remove the applications, but you will still have now-useless config files from the removed environment in place taking up space.

Uninstall the gnome desktop package, reinstall the kde desktop package and that should pull the overlapping dependencies. Might need to do this from a virtual terminal, not in the desktop environment.

Or reinstall the OS.

Edit: there’s also dnf swap command available for fedora, I’m not really familiar with it’s behavior or how it acts when both DE are already installed, but maybe that could be a lead.

I did LFS some years back, but only enough to get to a basic working system. It eventually devolves into doing similar steps to compile each piece of software, which after you’ve compiled a bunch of packages already kind of becomes repetitive. The path of getting there is pretty fun though, it’s a lot of reading and I learned a lot… including that I’d never want to maintain a system like that.

Good learning experience though.

I mean her parents would drive to NY for singing and acting lessons, the family relocated to Nashville to enable her carrer, paid for private school, beautiful homes… by all accounts her family provided a strong foundation for her to launch.

She’s been supported throughout her life, calling the way she was raised an “asylum” is kind of insulting to people that grew up wondering if there would be food on the table or if Dad was coming home angry again. Not to minimize her struggles but I’m willing to bet most people could actually last an hour

Photo of the Swift Asylum, it’s actually horrible! Just 3,600 sqft on 11 acres?? who could live like that!

try to find what kernel version support was added.

how to do this?

There’s no centralized database I’m aware of, it’s just googling hardware + “linux kernel” and hoping to come across something in a mail list. Admittedly, not ideal or always fruitful.

thanks, I never heard of dkms before. I read the arch wiki, wikipedia, and made an attempt at the github repo (very long and over my head). The arch wiki only mentions nvidia. Is this something I need if I am certain nvidia is not the problem? Or is it a general thing?

It’s a general thing, it was created to load kernel modules (drivers) without having to recompile the kernel entirely. Again without specifics of distro and hardware it’s hard to generalize an answer. With arch there’s probably a package in the AUR that could be used. (And the package will setup dkms for you). Doing it manually is a bit more involved but shouldn’t be much harder than cloning the repository and running a command inside the folder.

Off the top of my head some components I’ve had problems with: touchpads, touch screens, wifi, ethernet, bluetooth, audio in, audio out, media keys. I have suspected others also like (onboard intel) GPUs but it’s a little harder for me to even pin those problems down to the hardware.

So basically everything… Lol. Still hard to diagnose without specifics, vendor support varies wildly. A newer Intel wifi card is likely mainlined, while a realtek card is going to be living in hell. Ethernet is a weird one, I don’t think I’ve come across any vendors entirely not working but perhaps something like a Killer NIC (built with a proprietary protocol) could fail.

Many of these examples sound like a laptop, the arch wiki may have more information they cover a lot of popular models and note hardware capabilities. Usually if putting Linux on a laptop it’s about buying one with that intention in mind because it can be very uncertain. Laptop vendors do crazy things… use non compliant bios, proprietary media keys and finger readers, custom audio stacks to make them sound better, the list goes on.
