Millenials grew up using BASIC on Windows 3?!
Millenials were teenagers possibly learning coding starting from 1995, the world was using C++ on Windows 95 at best.
Programmer by day, burnt out by night.

I think “they prefer” Arch because a lot of them just bought a Steam Deck and that comes with Arch and it just works.
Yeah that was me a bunch of years ago, thinking I’d cut the unnecessary dependencies from my system.
I learned they were not so unnecessary.
It’s an older Intel macbook, those are just like most Windows laptops.
If it was one of the newer macbook M’s, it would’ve been quite difficult at least.
And mostly, Windows/Linux will update for eternity; it’s up to you if it works and it most likely will despite the wide abd varied hardware support.
Microshill is really helping the Linux community, I see!
It’s far more dangerous to run it without a space between the -
and rf
Ahaha. That hurts.
Pro-Tip: Even if you don’t program in Python, it might be necessary for several of your applications.
They have done 4 year windows before, and we still cannot know for sure how long for example the macbook m1 will be supported, still.
That said, 4-7 years for a laptop of that price seems short, I also don’t understand why they have to bring mobile OS support windows to laptops in the first place.
When it comes to update support, it seems odd to me to recommend Apple’s computers when they literally have a mobile OS’ support window to the OS.
Have you not pushed it yet? I can’t see it anywhere.
Although, Apple also just decides to make updates unavailable for your device once it’s a few years old, so there’s that.
Windows on a Dell XPS laptop was a good experience, firmware (and Windows) updates always came instantly. With Linux I have to keep an eye out for BIOS updates from time to time but Dell does not shy away from releasing BIOS updates for an over 7 years old laptop. Probably because their newer laptops use the same BIOS, but still!
Why are you using Vim for this? Vim actually allows you to change the cursor position and select text with the mouse if your terminal supports it.
TBH, “reveals itself by shivving you anyway” is probably closer to the truth with Brittons and their tea.
Goodbye.
Man, AskOuija is starting to leak out
DDG makes it quite the statement that they don’t personalise your search in any way, to the point where you can pick which country’s tailored results you want from a dropdown.
I do exactly this but with a little shell script that just has some rsync -av
and mv -f
calls instead of dragging and dropping.
It looks like the displacement slowed down, but there’s 55 years between the first and second picture, and only 10 between the second and third.
Not yet, but if every system was only protected against what already happened instead of also what could happen, we’d get hacked a lot more often!
I’m running (Ubuntu based) Mint Cinnamon. My laptop came with Ubuntu pre-installed and thus the BIOS pre-configured.
If I put the laptop to sleep and wake it from sleep again, it messed up the fonts but only VEEERY occasionally.
The fingerprint scanner doesn’t work with any of the drivers/software I’ve tried, which is a huge bummer.
When I dual-booted Windows on it for software for school, I noticed it worked splendidly on Windows without any installation.
The battery life went from 11h to 40m during my normal usage, this happened in a span of 4 years.
I’ve replaced the battery with an aftermarket one, which also went from 9h to 2h battery life in about 2.5y.
I’ve rarely had the battery drained below 5%, but it did run until the last percentage the few times it happend (on the original battery)
I’ve never had black screens or screen flickering like you described on this laptop, but putting my desktop PC to sleep on Linux Mint does cause it to wake up to an unrecoverable black screen.
My laptop’s also never had the connectivity issues.
Nor anything else.
My experience has been really good, and I plan to continue using this until even a new battery won’t do good.
That might be due to Mint’s pre-installed software, I don’t know.
You can also run them using the correct Proton prefix directly.
ProtonTricks can help make this a lot easier and more graphical.
