It would completely eliminate the bios issue, would it not? It would prevent them from ever needing to enter the bios at all.

I’ve been pretty happy with Kagi (it’s a paid search engine, though).

I think we will have to agree to disagree. Figuring out the software store guis is so incredibly easy. Install button installs, search box searches. They are all the same. Dont need to know what an update button is doing, because average people wouldn’t even know what is happening while doing it via terminal anyways.

Searching is also 100x times easier in the guis. You dont have a million other packages match your search (ever try apt search chrome?)

Though you are right, I had some bias with the man page bit. Average users wouldn’t even know what man is, making it even harder for them. They would have to open a web browser, describe what they want to do somehow, and hope a copy pasted command does what they want.

Thats just not true… there are many very popular applications that are not in package managers

Sorry, but that doesn’t really work. I can expand your terminal answer as much as you did the gui one. You have to open the terminal, use the man page for apt to find out how to search for a packages name, search for a package and hopefully find it, then you need to run another command with that package name to install it.

Meanwhile, I can shorten the gui example to “It take me two seconds to use the search bar and click install”

They all have their ups and downs, guis are just easier and more intuitive for people who don’t live and breath terminal commands. Terminals can be extremely confusing for them, having never used one before.

Ehhh, any time I try a new distro I realize after a half dozen apps dont work, that its because its using wayland by default. X11 just works, wayland is a mess.

The 970 unfortunately doesn’t have h265 hardware in it. The only gpu in that generation that does is the 960, as it was released later than the others and was one of the first to get h265. I ended up just getting a p400, and it’s been rock solid.

There are chat groups with usenet? How does that work? I have only ever seen it used for downloading stuff.

How is that a clickbait title?? If this is clickbait, there is no possible title that wouldn’t be…

Looks interesting! The ui looks miles ahead of NPM, so I might need to check it out

That looks really interesting! I will have to add it to my list to check out

I am in Canada, the Brisk Fruit Punch flavour was discontinued here. I guess it could be possible to import it if its still available in the US. I quite liked it, though not sure I liked it enough to pay the import and shipping fees Canadians are slapped with… Maybe I’ll order it once just to relive my college days once again haha

As for the sidekicks alfredo, I was talking about specifically their garlic alfredo spaghetti. They have a couple other alfredo packets that are fairly different to the one I am talking about. None of them were ever quite the same!

Brisk fruit punch and sidekicks garlic alfredo spaghetti. Sad days when those were discontinued

I use homepage currently. It is by far my favourite dashboard app, and i have given 5 or 6 of them a try before this.

It’s just so quick to load and simple to use. It’s just a couple yaml files!

Ahh, gotcha. Last I saw it was called Windows Live Mail and was already just suuuper basic. I am kind of impressed they managed to make it worse haha

You could technically do this with Nextcloud, but that is definitely overkill just for a file drop.
The next best thing I can think of for this would be localsend with auto accept enabled.

What kind of things got worse with outlook? I still use it for work, and the ui has changed, sure, but still seems to do everything it used to. In fact, the progressive web app even works quite well on linux!

I had a popup that my session expired. Logged back in, and all was good!

PoE++ Type 4 goes up to 100w, its Type 3 that goes to 60w. Why the hell they didnt just call it PoE+++ I’ll never understand

My Samsung Z Fold 5 has been awesome as well. Im too lazy to go grab a tablet, id rather always have a decent sized screen with me
