Hey I’ll help fund and work that too. 💪

Well, not that shocked.

Karl Jobst makes such interesting videos. He’s an Absolute Legend.

They tried that with Windows 8. It didn’t go over very well.

Is anyone surprised at this point?

In the earlier days of Plasma 6, it would crash on me when waking from sleep, so I had a small script that would basically restart plasmashell when waking so I didn’t have to wait the several seconds for the system to realize that it was frozen before I had a functional desktop.

I personally like this, so as far as I’m concerned, yes.

The final straw for me was Microsoft reinstalling software I had removed with updates, as well as installing crapware like Candy Crush, all in the background and without permission or notifying me. I left Windows back in August 2021 for Arch.

Until recently I had kept a Windows VM with a GPU passthrough set up until I decided I was done with Destiny 2. Now the only remnant of Windows in my life is a simple desktop in my living room that has a game I can only play on Windows, which is currently being ported to PS5. Once that port is released, it’ll be converted to a server running some atomic distro and become a fully dedicated server, and Windows will be fully removed from my life, ignoring PCs outside of my control like embedded systems.

Man I wish it was that cool. Controlling it remotely would be primo. Unfortunately, it’s not, and I work in a building that’s 183,000sqft. If I have it running automatically on the other side of the building and it gets stuck, I’m suddenly burning time to run over and unstuck it.

It’s a floor scrubbing robot. It uses LIDAR, a 3D depth camera, and a couple 2D side cameras to map and navigate its routes. It was cool for about six months and now we just default to manual driving because it’s slow and gets stuck very often.

That is really cool.

My company has a robot scrubber that runs a custom Linux distribution.

Look Ma, I’m famous.

I dunno that’s kind of an insult to Yahoo! At least it’s fun to say.

But… Why? Who asked for this? Instead of stuff like this, can we get feature parity with at least the Android app when it comes to the Linux VPN app?

Hell yeah good for them.

I tried that first, but the wifi was broken on Arch. That was several months ago though, so it might be good now, but when I first got it back in January it was not. I can vouch for Fedora though (as well as Ubuntu), since Framework endorses it (them). It’s pretty flawless.

Can second this, OP. The DYI option saved me like $350 over the pre built and it took like ten minutes in between being amazed at the packaging. They even supply the only tool you’ll need for it!

As for Linux, Fedora 39+ fully supports every aspect of the laptop OOTB. It’s a wonderful experience.

I’ve flirted with Linux for years, all the way back to Fedora Core 6. I still use Windows, so 11 is my most recent version, but it’s stripped down using the AME playbook. I use it to play some games with anti-Linux anticheat. I also have a minimal Windows VM on my desktop for playing Destiny 2.

That being said, my primary computers run Arch (custom built desktop) and Fedora (Framework laptop) and I have zero intention of ever using Windows as a primary OS ever again.
