In my opinion, EU needs to force PC/laptop and other hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for Linux. Without this step, it will make it harder for them to move away from M$ Windows.

We gonna fork him into isekai world!

I have several options here : OrangePI, used Android TV box, mini PC, thin-client and laptop.

currently just installed dual boot Linux on my old mini PC (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

just happened, a few days ago I installed dual boot of EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva replacing Windows 7, on my potato mini PC. (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

Hardware support really sucks, as many hardware manufacturers only care about supporting M$ Windows.

There’s a way to force them to provide drivers for Linux, let’s say the trade commission in any country forces all devices to have drivers for Linux.

My laptop did not go to sleep

Some people have similar experiences regarding sleep issue, including system just went blank on wake up.

From my experiences on Linux Mint in two different laptops, the sleep issue related to Linux system cache. By default, many Linuxes use these settings, vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background_ratio are about 5 to 20 percent of the available system memory. This is fine if your system has less than 4GB of memory installed, but if your system has 8GB or more of memory, this can cause problems later on.

So I have this “can’t wake up” issue on my two differents laptop, the first laptop has 8 GB of memory and the second laptop has 16 GB. And both laptops are running on Linux Mint.

In search of a solution, I came across this conversation https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/25/39

I also found some possible system cache related issues on various distros.

So I tried what Linus suggested, and I use lower values than suggested. And it worked!, the “can’t wake up” issue on both laptops just gone in instant!

oh great news!!

I remember some people kept mocking Linux desktops for lack of HDR support, which was strange because they were also using Linux for application development purposes.

sounds like M$'s real face : Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish

not a fan of PDP, but the video has been viewed 2.8 Million times in less than 24 hours. nearly beat his 3 Million video views from 3 weeks ago

yeah it looks good, at least Linux gains more attention

My next issue is that sometimes it just hard-freezes. Zero warning, under no load, I can’t even move the mouse. Linux on the desktop

You may want to consider fixing the system cache value.

I use lower values than Linus suggested.

It also happens in Asia, I can say that some of them are similar to what you said. In my country, many young people have a hard time finding a job even if they are university graduates. Necessities is getting more expensive.

There are also many people and households who are trapped in huge debts from online loans.

Many small businesses stuck or fail, only the business of the oligarchs can survive. and their business destroys small businesses and harms the people.

I would like to try Solus along with other Linux, unfortunately Solus uses systemd-boot rather than GRUB. 😔😔

Linux community should keep its distance from the Linux Foundation

the good thing is that they just created a mastodon account

embrace the fediverse !😎😎

The whole separation between APT and snap packages doesn’t work well together and is really the big problem I have, as a lot of standard deb packages just refuse to install properly now.

since you are mention deb packages, I would consider these

• Linux Mint
• PopOS
• Rhino Linux (somekind of rolling release distro based on ubuntu)
• LMDE

Yep, my govt only cares about porn, manga, hentai, online gambling sites, reddit and duckduckgo.

Other alternatives that work on Linux as well as Windows (I haven’t tried it on windows)

I use GoodbyeDPI and Zapret with dnscrypt-proxy, it works perfectly

They want to create some hype and look cool by using AI chatbots. And most normies don’t care about privacy and the dangers of AI in the future, they only care about “wow I can use AI for bla… bla…”

But they have no idea, that one day AI could take over their jobs… and rich people like Sam Altman are getting richer, and he only pays you with UBI money some pieces of computing

Also, AI companies aim for government contracts and medium / big corpos.
