It is the professional version yes but even when I used to have windows 10 I managed to turn auto updates off permanently

Why is this a thing

Do people store their money in these things? I use Google pay quite often, but it draws the money from the bank at the time of payment

I don’t get the forced update thing at all, use windows at work and don’t get nagged about updates ever. if it ever has updated on its own it’s done so completely imperceptibly to me

The only argument I see is that they’re dropping support for win 10 soon which kinda sucks but the majority of people will not even notice they’ve been upgraded

I haven’t had an update forced on me on my work machine ever

If you’re having the house fumigated, or making some renovations you’d have to be out of the house for a bit

I’d say they’re more like the developer, they’ve made the house their way, you can kinda change it, change the paint, move the furniture but you can’t make any major structural changes.

As much as Microsoft sucks their os is generally pretty solid. Not great but good enough for most

(I say this having not had a windows install on a personal machine for over a year now)

Make me

Actually don’t it’s hard enough with certain web apps

Ubuntu, various versions of, fedora for a bit, suse for a bit, Debian for an RPI

Nixos is my home distro and I’ve spent probably double the amount of time with it as I have all other distros combined, the distro hopping phase a given distro lasted about 2 weeks before I threw it out

I’m not comfortable enough with other distros to able to help someone who already knows enough about Linux in general, and given he’s familiar with fedora silverblue seemed like an obvious choice

I’m not about to recommend someone who’s only ever used fedora before nixos that would be insane

Imagine defederating from an instance with the cat picture community

Afaik it’s not a personal list it’s a list for end users

Because it’s less standard

The more default and mainstream you go the easier it’s gonna be to do things and get help

I tried getting a friend of mine on silverblue a while ago, worked for a bit but he hated how the package manager worked and I wasn’t able to help him much because I’m on nix

I love the idea of a framework but their battery life apparently really sucks

Bit of a joke suggestion but purely hardware wise steam deck might do the trick, its graphics processing is very good considering the size and lack of discrete GPU

Also quite subsidized because valve expect people to make up the value in buying games, so more bang for your buck

Plugged into a keyboard and possibly monitor could do the trick

Beehaw defederated from a bunch of instances, maybe you’re not federated with the one people are posting to

They’re all in the cats community if you aren’t subscribed prob won’t see em

Same for me, which strikes me as a fundamental problem with the platform that once one community blows up it drowns out the others

Could do with some balancing algorithm that soft caps the ratio of posts from a single community that get shown on any given page

What reason is there to use something like this over gtk or qt? I guess it’s easier to work with?

Unsure if this is the same version but the rust version has a whole section on buttplug.io integration

This is absurd, the amount of effort that must have gone into this purely for shits and/or giggles
