No one should have statues made of them. We are remembered by momentary glimpses of greatness in the overwhelming sea of mediocrity. Something something typewriters

But irrelevant for most users. Azure can stay all it wants but we must be freed from the shackles of Microsoft Office

More ram for your ram is just objectively a good thing for computers to have, regardless of the pervert it came from.

The more you know about computers the more you realize its just magic rocks, and that magic, rocks.

Wait, is that a faux pas? Weasel?

The way i experience it is that its a lot harder to fuck up a cachyos installation than it is to fuck up base arch…

Thus improving performance (anecdotally)

Ask chatgpt how to install a local model and quit stealing our water and paying a garbage company for garbage answers.

This is drake erasure and I’m LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT, JERRY

If you announce yourself as a fascist, the fascists will pay you. Its how most of them make their living; the rest steal from their employees

Fascist arch, from what i can tell. Just a bunch of lazy config files on top of arch with as much AI and spyware shoved into it as possible

Only if either your app requires it to transcode. My cpu is maxed if i try to play off chrome on my phone, but the same file on the jellyfin app keeps it under 1%

I guarantee if I sold a normie a KDE laptop theyd have no idea until they needed to run an exe, then theyd review bomb me for selling them a scam laptop

Uwuntu

My conspiracy theory/pattern recognition shows that anyone unironically using the words “Tech Savvy” in 2026 are either well meaning pirates or just straight up ignorant on purpose. Computers have been mainstream at the very least for 2 decades and you havent bothered to learn anything about them??

We call this “monopolistic behavior”

Whatever comes with the thing is going to be most popular by default. Windows knows this. Apple knows this. Linux simply doesnt have the funds to buy out manufacturers

You miss 100% of shots you dont take

Yeah. Youd be surprised how many people just throw away computers. Ask around, im sure someone you know has one lying around theyd like to get rid of (maybe with some minor problem like needing a new hard drive or something)

I had a screen get burn in (forgot to turn it off, oops) removed it from the laptop, waited 3 days, put it back in and it was flawless again.

I had a laptop that refused ethernet and would only ever use wifi… When the ethernet was connected. No wifi unless that cord was connected. Confirmed it was, indeed, wifi by using a dummy connector.

Bought a 10tb hdd that refused to read anything at all, opened it for giggles/curiosity and found a piece of scotch tape stuck to one of the disks and one of 4 disks completely shattered. The disk was still factory sealed (by appearance, anyways; they still had the antitamper stickers)

Yeah same. Aur has been significantly less virus prone than the windows norm (inb4 wut abut winget >;ppp) of “Googling some shit you want and clicking the first website to roll the dice on predatory ads or malware or maybe the thing you wanted”

…not to mention if you have btrfs you can just rollback a month or two and call it a day.

Careful with those K’s, pal
