I really liked Taipei when going to Computex in 2024, but I'd never want to live there or Singapore. I feel like the 'ideal' Asian city, or as they may make it feel like, is something out of a TikTok video. Lots of LED flash, skyscrapers and malls everywhere, but it's just so packed to the...

Intel NuC with GDDR SUPERBBQ potato SODIMM. 🤣

This couldn't be further from the truth. I install Linux, update and we're done. In Windows, to set up as I do, it's a process of fiddling with maybe 50 settings to shut crap down, uninstall the garbage apps, then run updates and hope they complete. I open Dolphin, start a copy, and guess what...

These flurry of 'announcements' are just trying to fling it on the wall to see what sticks. It's CEO's trying to out shout anyone that'll listen about their perceived benefits of their AI model. Covering their asses from the layoffs and billions spent. Collapse in 3.2........

I haven't experienced that with Windows 11 and a NUC with an Iris 640. Granted, no games played, only web browsing. But that's all I'd ever use it for anyway. The 'break glass' NVMe that has Win 11 is bare metal for any games or apps that just don't work in Linux. The QEMU I'll switch to with my...

Not the most scientific, but pretty relevant, Linux lows aren't as noticeable as Windows which is why I think it feels smoother overall to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jJ7myLfgM8

That's not my point. Technical controls have been bypassed in every measure. Piracy, check, OS activations/serials, check, bank breeches, check, crypto wallets stolen, check. Search Australia VPN uptick. Technical 'controls' are literally political trash talking points. Even the 'great firewall...

I think anyone that believes relying on a technical control to reign in fences for kids are going to be mightily disappointed. V-Chip and hiding naughty magazines- hold my beer.

I noticed that using EndeavourOS but it was pretty easy to figure out with just trivial searching. And I'm the biggest Linux noob. Although, I'll probably nuke the install from orbit and start over as I really want to stick with QEMU and try to keep everything FOSS. I also installed some things...

I think it was harder for me because I'd used windows my whole life and career. But Linux has gotten to the point that it's easy to install, administer, and most importantly, find answers to issues. Plus the added benefit of usability it hasn't had just a few years ago. Gaming wasn't even an...

I don't know what he's on about anyway. I just switched to CachyOS just late last year, running in to this year after spending my life on Windows. It's worked very well for my gaming and perhaps a little better. I play a lot of PoE2 and it's really fluid. Even if it's slower, the OS, and by...

I don't too much care about Windows anymore, still hoping Windowscentral is on target if only to keep integrated NPU's at bay.

If it's true, and folks still won't switch, then I don't know what would. Maybe a full lock-out when they decide to cancel their subscription? Also, I don't want any CPU with an NPU. So, I only hope AMD/Intel will provide if MS moves this direction. :(

On the last nvme that has Windows, it's local. It's only there for break glass situations where something positively won't run on linux. But this 5-30% reduction in gaming isn't the entire picture. Granted, my use case for an OS is very light duty, but Balmer one used the word 'craplets' to...

This is really useful for Windows 11 installs- Winhance
