I tried this out and it’s a good launcher once configured, but it’s time to look for a new one now. Msft is working hard to lose long time customers.

Silly that the page doesn’t actually say what it does or link to overseer. https://overseerr.dev/

Both are bloated, but I’ll take flatpaks, as snaps have given me a lot of problems on multiple machines. I now just remove it entirely.

I installed mint on my second PC, and it’s great. I feel like migrating my main, but I’m not sure it would go smoothly. I’ve had a lot of issues with my four months old Ubuntu install, lately the keyboard is nonfunctional at the login screen about half the time. Snaps are another reason making me want to leave it behind.

Looks like a tug or two is in use…maybe that should be required from now on for areas where a screw up can take out major infrastructure?

I played the games. I think the show’s sets and designs are good, but I can’t get into it. It just feels like sequalitis with no soul.

It’s because out of the box there’s often issues. For example, my setup with a 3080 booted to a black screen at login. Only futzing in the command prompt via grub let me install the correct driver, and it’s been fine ever since then.

Not only are they stupidly repetitive, they are loud. They do make me look for other stations. I’ve found I can mess with them sometimes using the home button, it can pause the marketing BS for a good minute.

Dual boot is the gateway I stepped through many years ago. It’s been months now since I chose team MS. I do lot of dev, gaming, and media work, and it’s all faster on the linux side. With the recent forced data mining “feature” update, I really doubt I’ll keep it around for my next upgrade.
So I’m just offering dual boot may be a good scenario. And also, popping in another drive is better than messing with your windows drive.

I cant seem to open the second link, but what video driver version is running?

Yes, the confusion that results when things don’t work because of isolation.

They “can’t even do tables”!!!

Same as you, in IT forever, …I switched, and I’m never going back. It’s fast, and it’s brought the joy back for me. Nvidia needs to do better, but that was the only difficulty I had.

Thanks, can we also kill off copilot before it arrives uninvited?

It’s a crappy situation with Nvidia, even outside of this. A while ago, my ubuntu system informed me of updates, and it happily installed the 6.5 kernel. Turns out, nvidia drivers don’t work with this kernel… Apparently this sort of thing happens all the time, which would seem easily avoidable.

I’ve been a customer for decades, including large format, and my newish HP is waiting to be recycled. It’s print quality wasn’t great, and the HP ink I bought that worked well for months stopped working due to what must be a chip error. Who has time for that nonsense? I won’t even sell it, I don’t want to push the misery on someone else.
