Great, but I wouldn’t be shouting from the rooftops how Wayland has created a better experience for users just yet.

I work in RISC-V CPU development and I’d say 5-10 years is about right for when we’ll see usable RISC-V desktop class machines.

There isn’t really any RVA22 hardware you’d really want to run a desktop on anyway, so it’s a very logical decision. RVA23 is a much more sensible base - it requires Vector and Hypervisor.

Did they ever explain the highly suss Chinese links? I’ve used this a bit and it worked well but I’m still not sure I fully trust it.

The article said it pretty well:

if your answer to any perceived failing in a person is “just try harder”, you are either woefully inexperienced or a just a dick

That applies to writing impossibly comprehensive unit tests too.

Though really for a filesystem they should really do silicon-style verification (which we’re calling Deterministic System Testing now).

Those two things are related.

Difficult to argue with someone who is obviously right when they’ve actually proven they were right.

I know. Then they process those user agent strings to decide what OS it is. The question is why are they treating OSX and macOS as different OSes when they are the same? It was literally just a rebrand.

Also note the drop in Chrome OS mirrors the rise in Linux so I wouldn’t rule out this just being user agent changes.

Why do they even have two lines for OS X and macOS? It’s the same thing.

Misguided investment IMO. Smart glasses hardware is still at least a decade from being something that normal people would want.

Yeah what desktop environment doesn’t get out of your way? Even Windows with the ads enabled leaves you alone 99.99% of the time.

That is a very optimistic view! I decided to make a presentation in OpenOffice recently instead of Google Slides. It actually couldn’t even show my bullet points in the right order. It revealed them like 1, 3, 2.

I guess you can make it work and the sovereignty & financial savings for a large number of users is maybe worth the pain, but let’s not pretend the Linux desktop is really close to Windows/Office in terms of quality and reliability.

Gotta agree on the name. Please choose meaningful names especially for low level components like drivers, libraries and CLI tools. It’s fine for end-user facing applications to have unique names like Blender, Krita, Inkscape, Chrome, etc. But nobody wants to have to look up what the name of random system packages is.

and it’s like this /

Only because they clearly don’t want the slashes going the same way. I almost pointed that out but I thought it was obvious.

A tail isn’t furry? Right.

That’s… not the same symbol. He’s right it does go the other way.

I think it’s more natural to go NE-SW though because that’s it’s easier to draw like that.

This is deliberately not allowed in order to ensure that Linux remains exclusive for nerds.

Well… isn’t it? If one’s daily or most frequent back-and-forth journeys don’t exceed 100 ㎞, then a 160 ㎞ range is indeed fine.

Uhm… No. Most people only have one car so if you get one that only works 95% if the time it’s going to be super inconvenient when you have to hire a car every time you go on holiday or visit your family or go to a distant concert or whatever.

That’s why low range electric cars are not very popular.
