It still could be a mistake in the long term, though. Imagine the wise US administration slapping 1,220,332% tariffs on Taiwan? Or China wreaking havoc there. I still think Intel could fare well with better leadership handling their fabs.

AMD did that, but Global Foundry doesn’t do that well, at least compared to TSMC. Also Intel was going strong with their fabs until AMD started building better chips architecture wise. I’m just saying that splitting might not work.

I’d say games. I’d that really takes off, Linux would replace Windows and all other standards will follow.

Right and the only issue is with 3rd parties which will eventually migrate as well. Basically we’re not in a hurry and migration should happen eventually.

The official reason for tariffs is government subsidy AFAIK, but in reality the moment they lower the tariffs, US and EU automobile industry is done.

Not necessarily as they are using LFP chemistry which has much more cycles than the standard one.

I’m considering transition from Windows like OP, tried Ubuntu desktop first, since I have some experience with server version, and for some reason it kept crashing on me, then I tried fedora workstation and it works reliable, so I’m planning to stick with it. NVidia card, Ryzen 3700, plenty of RAM machine.

Thanks for ideas, I’ll look into roaming profiles (but do you need similarly set computers then if profile was to work on all?). Also how much space do you allocate for a system partition (I guess the rest is all for /home) - I know this could be subjective?

HDDs? Srsly? Besides, throwing a 4TB NVM in there should be enough for most, shouldn’t it? Or are games more demanding these days? At worst over could use an external drive but that’s not ideal. Anyway, for that money I can build a very decent PC myself.

Typst is just awesome, highly recommended.

European comma, probably

Thanks, I’m somehow I thought it’s a web app.

I have no idea, but I’d go with docker, podman or similar.

Update: I thought it’s a web app, disregard my suggestion, I still have no idea.

Yeah, another trait is “it might be true”. Dude, it might be true that anther head grows on you, but it’s not very likely, is it?

Ah, the classic baseless dummy conspiracy theory of governments murdering own people for a reason or another.

Edit: typo it -> or

Cool.

Those who are (wisely) suggesting snapshots, do you guys use a different partitions for data and OS? Because if you do revert to an older snapshot after a while, you’d loose new data, too (unless you recover it from current state)?

Even with Linux it wouldn’t be that safe, if apps were doing this crap.

For now. But the trend is depressing and eventually it won’t be profitable for anybody and one day there will be no more disc drives to buy.

Just read few posts above that Blue ray is done with Sony shutting down last factory for drives. I guess it’s time to stock drives 🤷‍♂️
