So if I’m developing a garage door opener using ESP32 RISC-V module, I’m not a RISC-V developer? The dev tools and the cross-compiler only come in x86_64 variant, they simply won’t work on RISC-V laptop. But at least they provide a Linux installer.
The only use case I can think of is to build Debian packages on a target architecture without cross-compilation, because many packages do not support cross-compilation, but it’s more an issue of poor build scripts.
Targeting developers is, I dunno, misses the audience. It would have been a great netbook, or a Raspberry Pi replacement.
If I develop something for Risc-V arch, it is probably some embedded thing with 100 MHz CPU and 2 Mb RAM, and I am cross-compiling it anyway on my more powerful PC.
Go on and put AR-15 on your flag, be like Mozambique with AK-47 on their flag.
Subway that arrives almost to my office. Yes it’s a bit slower overall, but I can doomscroll my phone for a hour per day instead of rotating the wheel for the same amount of time.
TIL someone ported the collection of classic Linux screen savers to Android.
I’m in the same boat, I have (or rather had) published a few Android games which I don’t have time to update anymore, and Google had been unpublishing them one by one.
I’ve had problems with KDE on Wayland on Debian 12, it fails when entering sleep mode with multiple monitors. Thankfully, KDE on X is just one package install away, and it works with no bugs.
Because military engineers overengineer these things from the most expensive materials available, and they also perform frequent maintenance on them, which is also expensive.
Now we need a geologist to name these rocks properly.
Nah, russia used their only opportunity for a blitzkrieg in 2022. Now they have kilometers of minefields in every piece of land they try to capture. Blitzkrieg only works on unprepared opponent.
I advise booking a city square, loud music, background dancers, printed flyers with the URL of your Github repo, and a big countdown clock when you change repo visibility to public (Github has an option for that, but you need to click it yourself at the exact time, there no option to publish it on timer).
I’ve switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.
Because the communism is a convenient ideology for totalitarian states to exploit and control the population.
It’s exactly like the middle-ages Christianity, with the Bible promoting humanitarian ideology, and the church exploiting the hell out of the population.
That’s also why communists banned all religions, they don’t want any competition.
Wooo yeah! Now waiting for the explanation how half of mobile phones on the planet and every smart TV in existence runs some variant of Linux kernel.
Just grab yourself some Linux Mint, and try to ignore Arch and Gentoo crowd here.
Half of the apps you mentioned have Linux version right in the system package manager. Davinci has Linux version on their website.
CorelDraw might be a problem, WineHQ lists it’s compatibility for the latest version as garbage, so you will probably need to switch to Inkscape.
Anyway, I heard about this new company called Linux
Pedantic explanation about GNU/Linux is coming in 3… 2… 1…
Laptop has keyboard, you can type your password with the same speed as pressing your finger and waiting for it to unlock.
Most casual users won’t even know that their laptop has a fingerprint sensor.
When a company needs a proper security, they buy every user a hardware token like Yubikey.
But most of all, it comes down to the tradition. Manufacturers won’t add fingerprint scanner because users do not demand firgerprint scanner. Users do not demand fingerprint scanner because they are used to have no fingerprint scanner. Try removing a fingerprint scanner from a phone, you’ll see your sales drop like a brick.
Eeeh. Backporting the bugfix also seems unlikely. So in conclusion, I gotta build it myself. I don’t want bleeding edge, I want less bugs. Yeah, plasma_wayland works okay, but not with two monitors.
Is there a way to install the latest Plasma to Debian stable, without breaking the OS too much or installing everything to /usr/local? The crashes when an external monitor is unplugged annoy me a lot.
My home provider had IPv6 for like two years, after I specifically opened a support ticket for it. Now it’s broken and they won’t bother to fix it, because no one else asks them.
RISC-V is not proprietary enough.
