Believe it or not due to third world issues I went with all of uni and part of my graduated life (2008-2016/17) with a crappy Intel Pavilion DV2000 which had Core2Duo and 3GB on RAM. With Gentoo. It went just fine for most daily stuff and some of my work as a graphic designer.

From my time on reddit it always struck me as funny when some weirdo posted sex content on the r/LaTeX sub
I actually just had to go back to my house wanting to go to ride on a beautiful sunny day because didn't realized the front derailleur battery was knocked out.
I don't think it's the end of the world, though. After a lifetime of riding crappy bikes there are much more serious and dangerous stuff to be worried about.
Saw it and couldn't help laughing.
OTOH being so customizable seems to be a double-edged sword: people can customize almost everything they want but some can find that overwhelming or don't even want to spend time looking for a setting.
No you won't.
They won't throw more than a decade of work to the garbage because "30%" and Nvidia. Those issues can be fixed. Want them to be fixed? Stop complaining and contribute.
Why is Tux flipped, is this some sort of subliminal message? Is BigTech behind of this meme?
I suppose it's like asking a biologist what type of dishes would they do with a plant species they just discovered
I don't know about others but I like my phones to actually last.
My previous phone was a Sony Xperia z1. It went with me for more than 7 years working great until I accidentally dropped it and the screen cracked. Changed the screen but it wasn't the same thing and the battery suffered too so decided to get another one, a Xperia 1ii. This november it's going to be 5 years since I got it and it's still going absolutely great.
But on both times they went great not only because Sony happens to make great hardware but because LineageOS - I've used it on other phones since it was CyanogenMod. As not everything in the world is perfect Sony gives no flying fucks about updates so in two years your phone is not going to get more official updates - enter LineageOS, GrapheneOS or what you like. I'm grateful those things exist, have donated to them and it will be very sad if one of those Google stupid movements make them vanish.
The maintainer of X11Libre, Enrico Weigelt, is an anti-vaxer who already got scolded by Torvalds for writing bullshit on the kernel mailing list
Oh, so it's him. Dude got absolutely lucky Linus is on mild mode nowadays. On his prime the scold would've been of such epic proportions all the viruses he could have on his body would've leave him out of pure cringe.

No that I could tell, but mostly because before it I used to use Ubuntu, and got fed trying to uninstall stuff I didn't actually need and it attempted to yolo a whole bunch of packages with it. It didn't had much storage either (120 GB) so that mattered a bit; but mostly because I didn't had internet at home (or when I could had it, it was completely shit - a 3G modem)
Trying to update Ubuntu offline was a huge pain in the ass: I needed to go to an internet cafe nearby, or at uni, and download the packages for the updates one by one (searching them in packages.ubuntu, going to the results page, picking the distro, picking architecture...), burned them to a CD or copied them onto a usb stick and went back home to install them... only for it to tell me it was now needing some other bunch of packages, so rinse and repeat. I could do that even like 3 or 4 more times to update just a single frigging app - it was that or having wait for a new Ubuntu release, and soon Ubuntu would end that program where they sent people an original Ubuntu CD to their address completely for free.
Whereas with Gentoo it already had the --fetchonly flag so you could just ran emerge with it and it would tell you absolutely everything you needed, so I could parse that output with sed or something and go to another computer with an internet connection and download them with some other tool, everything at once. I could then bring them home and update the thing in a single command. Of course it could take time to compile stuff but the updating process was much easier to me. So think like a IP over Avian Carriers situation.
