wait, are these older than 1984(my first computer)?!???

More like dating myself.

Ya the switch to the right back. Like house breaker when you switched it on

I grew up with these.

They might as well call you Harry.

During a zoom, I was presenting my full screen and was opening a new tab instantly with the scroll wheel click and the zoomers on the call was mind blown.

Main difference is there is a gun involved.

My family has Taiwanese citizenship. But to get a Gold Card status, the requirements are not too difficult. There are a certain skillset that Taiwan government is looking to import. The gold card has a full path to citizenship.

When I first came over I just worked nights at my American job. I just didn’t tell them and worked via VPN.

Much later, I started picking up work locally as a freelancer and now globally.

I no longer have a job American job.

I moved to Taiwan. Pay is less than America, but cost of living is also way less so it’s relative. We get universal health care which offsets the lower income.

For reference, my water bill is around 30usd a month and my electric is 100usd. My 5G unlimited data cellphone is 20usd a month.

Childcare is way cheaper than America, and more abundant.

It’s call Brain Drain. I left during the first Trump presidency.

This is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you .

Just use samba.

It doesn’t need it. All NAS systems have samba on by default.

It’s pretty easy. Just right mouse click the network and Map Network Drive. Follow prompts. Success

Hahahaha you’re assuming we get to vote again in 4 years.

I argue that a grandma has less needs than someone younger. My grandma uses a 10 year old LG phone that has replaceable batteries. Never complains. Makes perfect phone calls.

Ask a teen if he enjoys Fortnite or PUBG with their friends and they will say they don’t know. Because their parents force Linux on them.

But why do I need to do a search? Why isn’t it already installed and ready to go? Why must I find drivers for a hardware when I can just plug it into a Windows computer and 99% of the time it starts working?

This meme advertise that Linux is in equal footing with Windows. Yes, Linux has better privacy. But you can’t deny the usability of Windows. Until Linux has the same feature set prebuilt in, Linux is going to never be ready.

I guess when I’m expecting to have at least air conditioning instead of having my pick from thousands of different air conditioning systems from GitHub hoping it hasn’t been abandonware.

If I’m picking a specific system, I expect the engine to start when I turn the key, instead of a secret jiggle for it to work correctly.

Regular, non tinkerers people, normies have different needs, none of which Linux has a advantage on.

Speed, privacy, old hardware support, benefits from community modifications (gaming performance kernels etc).

Speed is relative to the task. On my window’s machine, I’m running a 7 year old gaming computer and never thought that my computer is super slow. Also, after installing Mint on it, the speed is barely noticeable at best.

Old hardware support? Shoot, Mint could barely get new hardware working properly. I had trouble with both my nvidia card and my logitech steering wheel working correctly. I eventually got the Nvidia card working using chatgpt. It took me a few days, but the steering wheel finally started working after reinstalling Windows.

Also, as far as gaming is concerned. You performance might see a few fps faster on Linux on some games, but if you enjoy games like Rocket League or Fortnite or many multiplayer games, it flat out doesn’t work.

Can KDE snap to 3 screens evenly? Or4? Or 1/4, 1/2, 1/4? Because Win11 does it out of the box.

Yes

Good, I can check it out. Mint and PopOS and Ubuntu does not have this feature.

I started with the GUI flatpak interface first and after those apps didn’t work, I went to google/forums. At the end of the day, I still didn’t accomplish a simple task Win11 has out of the box.

I still dont understand what you were trying to achieve that you couldn’t have done, at worst, in Synaptic package manager (a GUI program).

I’m trying to snap my windows to different ratios or tile out of the box. Mint, PopOS and Ubuntu does not have these features and I was trying to install it first from Flatpak and then in apt-get. Both failed.

You saying I’m spreading misinformation implies you don’t acknowledge my frustrations and grievances.

I don’t mean to say you’re doing it intentionally, just that when you state Linux can’t do these things it’s not exactly correct.

What is inaccurate? That I had a hard time trying to install a very basic feature on Mint and failed? Seems pretty straight forward.

Don’t get me started on installing Tailscale. While I was ultimately successful doing this in terminal, I would not want my mother in law trying to figure it out.

I can’t find a single reason why I would need to. What am I missing?
