That sounds like the majority of users. I’m trying to think of how many times I needed to “use Linux”.

I interact with Firefox, IntelliJ, and a few other applications and IntelliJ hides all of the CLI so I don’t have to know git, and I don’t have to know where my files are.

My mother wouldn’t know how to install a driver in Windows, or even how to navigate to a file in Explorer. Does that mean she isn’t a Windows user?

I think you are being overly pessimistic about what counts as a user.

I’ve used MacOS for about 20 years, and it’s a shit show. But…

Where are your files?

They are in my user folder, same as every other OS. I can see them all in Finder. Root is hidden, but that’s options “tick box to display disks”.

What is happening at full screen

So what you would consider maximise is “move to new dedicated virtual desktop”, but you can also cmd+click maximise, drag to the top to traditional maximise or left/right for half screen.

I will say macs are great when you get used it, especially if you use keyboard shortcuts.

I’d say the opposite. How do I move this window to the next desktop using shortcut keys? You have to display desktops and then drag or to the desktop you want. No real shortcut for a basic feature.

Emoji picker also seems to be broken, so when adding something on a chat I have to navigate with keyboard because clicking on the emoji I want works about 50% of the time, they rest of the time it just closes the window.

They don’t run Windows they run Explorer.

Linux is a kernel. They run Linux.

Or do you mean “they don’t run KDE/Gnome/LXDE”?

Caring?

I would kill for an all in one, “single pane of glass” way to browse

We used to have one, and it was great.

RIP Boxee.

queue criticism

It’s cue.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cue

a signal (such as a word, phrase, or bit of stage business) to a performer to begin a specific speech or action

That last line is your cue to exit the stage.

I assume you were requesting a critique on your comment.

That’s weird that there are several ways to get access to the Quick Guides, and some seem to want an email.

However it doesn’t use it and takes junk (I just used [email protected] which was accepted), but sad that the form you found needed it.

But to answer your question, no I missed that link and went to “downloads” which also has the guide but doesn’t appear to require any email.

I just did a websearch and first result was a download link on their US website too which didn’t require registration.

There seems to be a lot of nonsense on here.

Err, you mean the piece of paper that came in the box, or is available to download on their website as a link without having to register?

Update your DAS? What are you talking about?

The brand that runs their OS off of a USB stick inside the device

Are you alright?

If you use a reputable brand, such as TerraMaster you’ll avoid all of the scare stories you hear.

Almost everything bad seems to be along the lines of

I bought “off brand” XzzYyG from Amazon/EBay/Wish and it failed

Something like this:

It’ll be faster than your spinning rust anyway, as long as you have high speed ports on your mini PC.

I’ve had “trash controllers” in Orico units which rewite the drive details which makes them annoying to work with but I’ve never heard of

your drives will vanish in the middle of a write, and corrupt themselves

That sounds likes its underpowered and when the draw is up the supply can’t handle it, which could happen for internal drives if your supply isn’t up to powering enough drives.

Use a reputable brand like TerraMaster and you’ll not have those sorts of problems.

This is completely untrue.

You can get plently of performant arrays over USB. You do know how much USB 3.1 or 4 can transmit?

Enclosures often don’t cool as well so heat may degrade your disks faster as well.

DAS enclosures can do a great job of cooling by separating and not sharing the air inside a single case.

Regardless of how “clean” ReactOS is they cannot legally reverse engineer Win10 or Win11 due to the EULA (which Microsoft would enforce in court)

How would they prove the developer signed an EULA? I know I haven’t been made to use Windows since the Vista era. And even then, that was a work computer so I never agreed to anything.

The rest I agree with. Windows is trash, why bother cloning it? Wine exists to run applications that are desired but don’t have Linux equivalents.

Yep, completely agree that its an Intel limitation.

I didn’t see that about USB3 (my Intel system provides USB 3, and still has the 50 endpoint/25 device limit), I’ll take a look, however it sounds like AMD is just generally better.

It’ll be a shame to lose Quick Sync, but it’ll probably be worth it.

However this reiterates my thoughts about USB4, since it is a Thunderbolt derivative, and as mentioned in your link Thunderbolt doesn’t have these same limitations.

👍

That sounds absolutely gross.
