The disk battle is the wrong one to fight.

The correct battle is that buying=owning not leasing.

Ubuntu (which is based on Debian) can be too slow to adopt newer software.

Arch on the other side is too quick.

Fedora is a good balance in-between.

Nearly all other distros are derived from these 3 families.

That and Ubuntu’s obsession with Snaps is unhealthy. So many people recommend Debian or Mint over Ubuntu, if you want something very stable.

He is dead already. They are hiding it so the governer can’t appoint a replacement.

It is worth noting you can only move partitions into a empty space larger enough for the full partition. Its a copy/delete process not a shift process.

In this case it should work. Delete first two windows partitions. Then move the Linux boot to first part. Then move the root partition Then move the home partition Then finally expand the home partition to the rest of the disk.

You will probably need to fix grub and do an initfs(?) Since the order of partitions have changed.

I agree with this approach. It results in the cleanist install that does not require setting up everything from scratch.

You can even backup your / as well if you want to copy some configs from the current install.

The “results” portion they got rid of is credibility of the results based on cross linking i.e. people linking to useful resources. It was the thing that made Google the best search engine.

Noe they prioritise what sell the most ads as the top priority.

I tried it on my main desktop after dumping windows. Tried ot along with CachyOS and Bazzite.

CachyOS was too bleeding edge for me.

MX was very easy to work with, but I could not get a lot of my gaming stuff working with my limited skills. Things like HDR was not working well on my monitor, everything just looked washed out. Could not get it converted to Wayland, etc. It did not support 5.1 audio over Spidif on my sound card.

Settled on Bazzite with plasma which was similarly stable, while having the gaming, display and audio stuff correctly configured out of the box.

True, but FOSS software is not immune to enshitification from private equity.

They are quitting becuase they see another lastpass happening. The new CEO is a toxic private equity leech.

5k to 8k depending on vehicle. Nothing mass manufactured yet. A lot of those products in the developing world. Lots of full electric conversion kits as well, but range is usually short to keep cost and size low.

You can probably do an hybrid conversion of a popular ICE vehicle.

The newest kits replace the transmission and adds a battery in the trunk. The engine is then converted to run at a fixed RPM for max efficiency. You can also plug them in to charge at home and on short trips they never even start the engine.

Aside form the lost Trunk space, there are very few downsides.

There really should be more investment in this area so it becomes available dor mor cars.

My understanding is that it is still the publishers decision like with Steam. But I get the Idea, that Steam strongly encourages it.

Absolutely. If steam was pulling 1/10th of the stuff Google and Apple does on their marketplaces, that would be a problem.

The reason Steam is dominant is its better than the others. So long as publishers are unwilling to pass the lower cost of the platform into consumers, there is no incentive to change.

Also, Steam is the only platform that gives regional discounts in many regions. Its the main reason I don’t use GOG as much as I would like to.

Disappointed they did not dance on the braces to achor them in the ground. Now after firing its all shifted.

I agree never a one size fits all situation. I do not have much confidence in central planning, since that has the longest track record in failure. Both in governments and in corporations.

A natural disaster would be handled by regional or national disaster response agencies. Much like it is now in western countries.

Regarding wealth or resource imbalance between poorer and richer areas, this is where I think the current status quo is the problem. Since after the industrial revolution, the high productivity of cities has been subsidizing the wealth of the suburbs and rural areas to the significant detriment of overall productivity.

We need to rethink the infrastructure standards outside of cities. Right now the suburb sprawl of single homes with large yards, malls and massive parking lots and roads are utterly unsustainable.

Its are hampering the productive capacity, food quality and security provided by rural land. What this looks like is a lot like older european villages. People live relatively densely surrounded by farmland and pasture. Car ownership is low since you can walk or bike anywhere, or there is a tram or bus to where you need to go. I would also point out that much of this infrastructure was developed and maintained locally with little to no central government.

Once you stop the subsidization and change the role to be something more sustainable, you will find that the wealth and productive density per person will balance according to the inherit environmental factors to a much larger degree.

I also want to highlight is that a lack of central control and planning does not prevent collaboration and coordination from occuring between entities. Our modern communication technology makes this possible to a degree that the founders of socialism and communism could never have anticipated.

Much like industrialization has changed the world order, the communication revolution has done the same. The political and economic sciences are still playing catchup.

I would argue that state facilitation is superior to state control.

A small government that does not interfere with the initiative of individuals and groups.

You don’t need central control and orchistration when you have our level of communication technology. That’s only required when your communication channels are limited.

The state at national level should be limited to providing facilitation, infrastructure, defence and foreign policy. Independent Local governments should provide the bulk of public services.

I trust collective decision making a lot more than central decision making for optimising a system.

I would argue capitalism is bad in nature, but people confuse free markets as being inherit to capitalism, which it is not.

Capitalism at its core is about ownership, in that those with money own a thing and thus make the decisions. This results in an Oligarchy controlling the market.

Communism in contrast is about collective ownership in that those that produce, own and make the decisions. However in practice, that ownership get usurped by “the state” which basically translates to an oligarchy through control of the market.

This is why I like the term, free market socialism. Ownership should be held by the producers, but the state should not control the market. The role of government in the market should be limited to monopoly prevention.

People who are forced to use it because web developers have abandoned non chrome based browsers in their testing and validation.

Regardless of CachyOS or Bazzite. Distro shelf works very well as it gives you the option to export applications installed in the container into the KDE interface. Its how I run Brave Origin all the time. With it you can essentially install any app from any Linux OS without cluttering your host OS. You also have the advantage of getting them directly from the developer repos regardless of the packaging method they prefer. While I appreciate the work done by the AUR community, I prefer getting the software directly from the developer where I can.

The containers only run when you use the app and only add about 0.5 seconds to first time startup as the container starts.
