first I read “AI Qaida”, but maybe there’s something to that too

Event 41 Task 63? what’s that?

but to repeat: windows dies not understand linux partitions to any extent. it shows them as “uninitialized space” or something like that, so that it looks like it’s gone. It’s always best to check the partitions with gparted on a live system (e.g. systemrescue linux)

that’s not the only feature of v2. it also hels a lot with swarm merging (which with v1 only biglybt implemented), and it has updatable torrents. it also stores torrent information more efficiently and the incoming pidces can be verified immediately. afaik today torrent clients don’t verify downloaded torrents by default. qbittorent has an option, default off, to verify after a torrent completed. this is slow because everything needs to be read again from disk. I’m not totally sure about this, but I think a malicious peer could be sending crafted pieces that contain something else and you wouldn’t know it.

ok that makes sense and if it is not too limiting, at least its a bit self documenting, you aready know what changes did you made. hmm maybe I should try it out someday on a spare laptop

the ASCII graphics are stunning, aren’t they?

well now I understand why is suse transitioning to a different installer instead of improving it

I don’t think that’s true. Administration tools could build on top of it, like snapshotting, which even if it does not work the best that way, it will work. and that can just run in the background, automatically, just like it does with snapper on btrfs now on some systems.

tbh this meme worked better with the pigeon

real linux users don’t need a graphical session!!! everything can and should be done on the terminal!

/s

yeah, but they use immutable system images that you can’t change even if you wanted to. KDE’s update system is integrated with a systemd component that does the installation after a reboot, I think nowadays that’s the best of both worlds

but does it load all libraries into ram at startup? there’s also all the resource files, including omni.ja that has a bunch of javascript code

It’s interesting because instead of “display manager” it should be “graphical login manager”, and the current “login manager” should be called “session manager”. I don’t know the origin of the name, though.

it can be skinned

and while we are at that, MPV also has a working reverse play implementation (though that’s like a slideshow), and it can very seamlessly do frame by frame playback, the hotkey of which just does normal playback perfectly while it’s long pressed

it literally has a lower CPU consumption, even when using hardware decoding. and even when playback is paused.

lower CPU consumption means more free resources for other programs, and lower power usage, which is more battery life.

it also seeks much smoother, I mean quicker with less delay

it tells you on a new tab. if you continue without restarting it you’ll see its already falling apart

what is P2P? I thought that’s the category the others fit into

sure, then already open programs will start malfunctining left and right, because they assume they have x version of files and libraries on a path, but in the meantime it has been replaced with version y. firefox and thunderbird are especially sensitive to it, but are not the only one.

unattended upgrades work fine on a server with relatively simple programs, but on the desktop world things are different.

it would be pretty useful if we could do this with the more popular distros, but I think we may be stuck with the way where you create an admin account for yourself for maintenance, and when you give the machine to them you make a new account for them too.

but I’m curious. how will you solve keeping the system up to date? Especially the web browser, but all the other things too

where you can just start the installer and it does everything for you, including users,

that sounds exactly what OP does not want? especially because they still habe to wait it over until the installation completes, before they can create the users and show them around the computer
