I don’t think Windows uses a microkernel. Hybrid kernel is the term I’ve heard used.

Wouldn’t that be UPS?

Direct Rendering Manager I believe

Perhaps one day it’ll just be systemd at this rate

Operating system so TrueNAS in your case

Battery degradation is ridiculously unpredictable. I’ve seen 100 cycle batteries at 75% and 2500 cycle batteries over 90%. I only dealt with like 5 MacBook models

Did you use a Handy to write this comment?

FIFA 17, Roblox and Minecraft? Yeah I reckon a modern integrated GPU is just fine.

But unfortunately it seems like your friend’s preferred games aren’t all that Linux friendly. Maybe get him addicted to a Steam library on Windows first and then you can win him over using Proton lol

See on väärt oskus, meid on lausa tosinaid!

When I was on Windows, I used SumatraPDF. It’s literally tiny and I never really missed any features.

Ah yeah, I googled the PVZ references I saw in the comments and found him. But the look just reminded me of the aforementioned character too.

The clueless look he’s got reminds me of Ohforf from The Noob Comic.

They stand to save a lot of money

Do they? They’ll now have to start training people to use Linux.

These people aren’t going to be enthusiasts like us. They need to be shown where everything is.

Honestly? Walking 95 meters to the grocery store is way less effort than getting in the car, putting on your seat belt, starting the car, driving off, and parking.

I lived 300 meters from a small grocery store and a 5 minute drive from a bigger one. I almost never went to the bigger one even though it had a better selection of food.

I visited the US once for a week. Visited Walmart exactly once, and Wegmans every other time. Wegmans blows even my European expectations for a grocery store out of the water.

I did the same math and my results came out the opposite way - in a much cheaper country however. I had a rent free situation over an hour away, but ended up renting an apartment near work. My time alone was worth it, being able to pay the month’s rent using one week’s commute time for freelancing after work. And the monthly fuel cost itself would’ve been 2/3 of my month’s rent.

Everyone’s circumstances are different. I made what I believe was the most sensible economic decision - paying to get out of commuting. For you, the opposite was sensible, commuting to reduce rent. Can’t really judge you for doing what’s best for your wallet in these tough times we’re living.

To be clear, while Linux has won much of the mobile market - FreeBSD still has roughly a third of the market worldwide, and more than half in the US for an example.

Well, I rebooted to a black screen after login, but ctrl + alt + t works to bring up a new terminal window and alt + space conjures the… whatever it’s called, thingy that can be used to launch programs, calculate things, or search files. So all in all, my computer’s completely usable, I’d just like to get the menus and panels back sometime. Unfortunately, I have literally no free time, which is also why using Gentoo is such a brilliant idea for me.

Remind me in a few hours to tell you how the merge went!

I thought Las Vegas was on Earth, but I could be wrong as I haven’t been there (to Las Vegas I mean, I’ve been to Earth).

Anyway, if you’re already building a tunnel, you might as well put a train in it, even on Mars.
