As a Fedora user, I would go with Fedora. 😄

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is good, but I find Yast to be kind of overkill. I’m sure it’s great when people figure it out, but there are too many options before then.

Fedora is much simpler, which is weird to say.

MZLA is a different subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation.

I’ll start. Go home white people! Go back to where you came from!

Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

I do encrypt my drives, and it’s not as transparent in Linux as it is in the others. I’m sure I could get a TPM setup for seamless boots, but I haven’t done that yet.

For mobile drivers, I still encrypt, but that locks them to one OS since LUKS isn’t cross platform. There is VeraCrypt for cross-platform encryption, but that’s one more thing to manage and install.

Linux, and macOS, enables write caching by default and Windows does not. This is what you’re seeing.

Mounting the drive with “noatime,flush” (preferred) would adjust the write caching and mounting with “sync,dirsync” would turn off write caching.

Random peripherals get tested against windows a lot more than Linux, and there are quirks which get worked around.

I would suggest an external SSD for any drive over 32GB. Flash drives are kind of junk in general, and the external SSDs have better controllers and thermals.

Out of curiosity, was the drive reformatted between runs, and was a Linux native FS tried on the flash drive?

The Linux native FS doesn’t help migrate the files between Windows and Linux, but it would be interesting to see exFAT or NTFS vs XFS/ext4/F2FS.

Did the USB drive get excessively warm during this because it looks like the drive is throttling?

Incidentally, this is why I switched to using external SSDs. A group of 128GB flash drives I had would slowly fall over when I would write 100GB off files to it.

There really isn’t.

It’s only every so often with extensions, and every release reduces the number of extensions I use.

Support for auto cloud sync from vendors, or just auto cloud sync of setting between devices.

DE stability. I keep a Mac around for times when Gnome is kind of broken.

cmd shortcuts which don’t interfere with app shortcuts.

Powerful desktop Arm chips.

Gui to manage services.

Gui to manage firewall.

Easy fleet management tools.

A real terminal services and Remote Desktop solution.

Desktop icons.

Tighter userland security.

Tighter OS security. Mostly dm-verify and fs-verify.

Tiling support. (There are extensions, but I need to experiment.)

Not having to recompile out of tree kernel modules after a kernel upgrade.

Base and extras being cleanly separated.

Debian in WSL is my single favorite thing about Windows work laptop. Real tools! 😃

I’m back on windows for work after a decade away, and all the reasons I left are still there. The tools are still lacking, the layout is non-sensical, prototyping requires expensive subscriptions, and it’s not designed to get work done.

*nixes and macOS, to a lesser extent, are much nicer. The *nixes are designed to get work done. I have my gripes, but good lord they’re small comparatively.

Agreed.

Vim/Neovim and Spacemacs (Emacs) are so much more addictive than NPP.

That’s cool if NPP is OP’s thing, but there are quite a few text editors which check those boxes in the *nix world.

So this is how the tech dark ages start. The last 40yrs are erased, and we end up back in 1979 where everyone is selling a tech stack and nothing is compatible.

Rebuilding around something which isn’t C would be a bright side.

Qualcomm buying Intel would be a top 3 worst case. Broadcom or Marvel would be the other two.

Some funny scenarios: Nvidia buys Intel, IBM buys Intel, Apple buys Intel.

The post is about the genocide of Native Americans. Natives originally lived in the Midwest, and now they don’t.

Also, Indiana is the only state to be taken over by the KKK, and the North was racist in its own way.

Armed revolt it is. Pizza first though?🍕

65 to match Social Security.

I’m not sure about that. Android isn’t Linux for those reasons, but ChromeOS is much, much closer to a regular GNU/Linux distro. They’re even switching to Wayland from what I’ve heard. 😄

ChromeOS uses a custom display server for the moment, but Chrome + <random Linux distro> is pretty similar. 🤷🏽‍♂️

ChromeOS is moving to Wayland as their display server, to make it even more of a standard Linux install.

Yeah, why isn’t ChromeOS rolled into Linux?

Bigger platforms attract more devs.

The BSDs don’t have the dev resources of Linux simply because Linux has a much larger install base.
