I started on home assistant with just a couple Smart bulbs and oh boy has it gotten out of hand since then lol. Home bridge sounds good if that’s all that’s needed though.

I meant as a regular computer user who’s new to Linux. Like most of them would be.
The whole point imo was supposed to be to test linux from a point of view of a regular user, and that while surely a bit extreme, isn’t too far from what might happen when a newbie stumbles on an issue (which may or may not happen depending on luck).
Then again he did test it on uhh, quite interesting hardware that’s almost guaranteed to have issues. Maybe it would have been more fair for him to switch to a more conventional desktop for the duration of the experiment.
I didn’t really see that affecting the market share of Linux much either way. Luke who has a normal desktop also had his fair share of more minor issues and so did I when I ran fedora for a bit over half a year on my desktop last year ago, as a similar experiment. What has and will affect the market share, positively too, is the steam deck, which Linus is also a big fan of.
I still use linux a lot in my daily life even if not on my desktop, my home server runs on TrueNAS scale and I have a couple projects running on raspberry pi’s (more probably coming). But for desktop use, I’ll let it cook for a couple more years before giving it another try. Running Linux on my desktop is absolutely my dream and end goal, but unfortunately it still has too many issues specifically for my (actually very broad) use case of video editing, Photo editing, 3D modeling, graphics design, gaming and more. If it was only one of those uses, I’d be able to fairly easily come by with solutions, but when it’s all of them combined, it adds up and becomes a real chore, unfortunately.
He definitely has life-changing amounts of mine for sure. But it’s definitely good if he puts effort into teaching his children not to take it for granted and be nice to other people. From the videos his kids appear in, they seem very well mannered.
That might be the worst video of them all to be mad at. Absolutely no harm done and everyone was clearly having lots of fun, the store owner included. There are videos with actual issues but this ain’t it chief.
It’s not that deep bro.
And the workers make just as much fun of Linus, if not even more. It’s not a one way street, and it’s clear that Linus only does it when he knows the other person will also find it funny. It’s nothing more but humorical banter between people that know each other quite well.
Also lots of those “upgrades” are things that wouldn’t have happened at all, if it weren’t for a video. And seeing how much fun the workers have in those videos, I find it quite unlikely that they feel insulted doing them.
Also, did we forget that the ultimate tech upgrade is a thing? The series where the workers get quite beefy upgrades to their very own homes, and it’s not even limited to pc’s. Linus even personally painted at least a couple of the workers walls lol, so I’m pretty sure “the workers being held as peasants” is quite far from the truth.
As someone who has sometimes watched wan show etc, it’s actually quite obvious that he actually knows quite a lot. The problem is that their channel covers so many topics that it’s almost impossible for one single person to have in-depth knowledge about all of them. Hence they have a writing team and Linus is more often than not, just a host.
None of that is an excuse for the issues in their videos for sure, but as long as they realize the problem and work to fix it, it’s all good imo and their recent releases schedule is a good indicator that they have taken it quite seriously, as they no longer force themselves to upload daily.
I also quite like a few of their writers, they also host and those are often the most fun videos to watch these days.
I love gnome overall and it’s my favorite de, but the missing features and extensions being almost mandatory for basic functions definitely are a pain.
Extensions are cool but the basics should be built in.
If someone owns a house, they kinda have to own at the very least some land around it. I just don’t really see any other way for that to work. Would be interesting to hear how that could work otherwise.
More techy people migrating to linux would be good, but that won’t change the fact that most people don’t even know that they can change their os, let alone how to do it.
More techy people joining would mean that we would hopefully get more fixes to issues linux has, as there would be more people bringing attention to them and maybe there would also be more people willing to help fix them.
When those issues are fixed, we might get to step two. Honestly not even sure what that step would be, but maybe it could be that more it-departments switch over to linux, which would get more people familiar with it, which would hopefully make manufacturers more likely to ship computers with linux.
All that is going to take a hell of a lot of time. And honestly seems unlikely to happen in the next 10, heck even 20 years. People are already so used to Microsofts shenanigans that they would have to fuck up majorly to get enough people to switch that it would matter. People are lazy, for good and bad, and as long as Windows at least mostly works fine, they’ll just be stuck using it.
I’m totally not interested in math stuff, like at all. If I need it for what I’m trying to do, or if it greatly helps me with it, I still end up learning it anyways though :) People often say that learning in practice is the best way and I feel like that is even much more true for me personally. I’m goal oriented af, and I make all those goals myself based on what I want to do. If I really really really want to do something, there’s nothing that will stand in my way, I’ll find a way. I’m the type of person to get frustrated and say “fuck this I give up”, only to be back at it after 30 mins because giving up isn’t actually something that exists in my head haha.
So no need to worry about me telling myself that. I guess I was thinking from the perspective of just studying it because of studying it, which yeah is basically impossible for me unless it’s just something I’m really interested in and I’m stuck browsing Wikipedia at 3AM. Thanks for the encouragement though, nice stranger! I really do appreciate it.
Should be better better than just cooking it at 100%, but still not ideal in the long run. Ideally you’d bypass the battery entirely.
It’s recommended to keep batteries at around 40-60% for storage while not in use. Not sure if keeping it around there would help when it’s in use, but that could be worth looking into if bypassing isn’t an option.
I like doing stuff but my adhd literally won’t let me learn trig 🤣 my brain will just shut down and start daydreaming of literally anything else.
Not just one Bugatti. Probably at least 100 Bugattis.
And placing the food at the edge of the plate instead of the center.
Well yeah it’s usable but I’d rather use even windows at that resolution to be honest even though I’m somewhat of a gnome fanboy.
I have been screwed a time or two, but honestly, most of the time I’ve had a pretty good experience dealing with Chinese sellers. Of course that’s partly because I choose who I buy from carefully, as yeah there are a lot of scanners out there. I’ve also been scammed by local people and I think it’s important to not immediately judge people based on where they are from.
I’m pretty sure the reason there are so many scammers in china, is because of the amount of poor and desperate people there, and the fact that the situation has been like that for so long, is the reason it seems to have now been ingrained in their culture. There’s a huge amount of scammers in other poor countries like india as well.
