No, nothing taken to heart. I also hate bloat, like W11 (for work) is barely usable…so much janky garbage, and I have to keep deleting Ai.exe and aimgr.DLL from certain folders.

I just don’t care about boot since I have a fanless case, with a system that is on 24/7, and the systems that do boot is basically: hit power on and adjust mouse/pad while it boots and it’s ready to go.

I did try about 10-15 distros on a 2010 laptop till I found one that was super quick on that hardware.

Turns out NixOS with gnome was super responsive compared to NiXOS with KDE. People say GNOME is heavy, but because it does so much memory prefetch it was super responsive on a 15 year old CPU since cached memory was being used rather than KDE loading as you go.

Sure but performance tweaking is a different argument than “init is better because it is fast”. If you watch the video link I posted it explains why systemd exists and its benefits. Speed alone isn’t a good metric for an OS

I don’t get that as a problem, my systems are systemd and boot is 10s, and shutdown is 8s. And that’s not a super highend machine.

Let’s say you get a 5 second boot? So what , what will you gain in 5 seconds. You aren’t running critical military intelligence network or something.

Boot and shutdown are faster

Lol. Are people still casing 2 second shut down vs 3 seconds, etc? An OS system services system shouldn’t be graded on speed of boot or shutdown, but how well it does what it was designed to do.

This 45 minute video explains why systems was needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo

But that’s the nice thing with Linux, you can run what you like.

Its one step better at least

This. They apply light pressure so you know which axis to move your head in.

Also, I go to a guy that still only charges under $20 for a really good haircut. I give him double his fee, because he’s under charging for his time and skill.

Yes. Snapshot…make your changes… Try the system…and if it is messed use the old snapshot.

If you try tumbleweed the snapshots are also integrated to the grub menu so you can boot to any snapshot, and if you like the one you booted to you issue sudo snapper rollback and that makes your current snapshot the default.

It also has auto snapshots anytime you use the GUI yast tools, or other CLI tools like zypper, so you don’t have to manually created snapshots. Also has cleanup schedule to remove old snaphots either by date or number of snapshots

This misses the “What dobyou want for your home folder?” -Part of main root structure / Partiton? -Separate Partition mounted at /home?

• do you want xfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, btrfs, zfs?
• do you want snapshotting of home?

That’s interesting, is it because Fedora has more recent packages

Yeah, I’m sure there are segments that only use server stuff instead of workstations. I’m on the other end I only deal with desktop, as we have IT for server Stuff

It may not be home user choice, but in enterprise CAD PLM it is. Out of all the Desktop Distros, only SUSE and RHEL were supported so you had to pick one.

Microsoft Recall

There’s desktop RHEL, we used to run a CAD software on RHEL or SUSE

I’m a paid plan, ads all the time. It sucks.

Yep, I’m already a paid plan and I keep getting ads to sign up. It actually makes me want to switch to tuta.

This is a feature in Windows

Rustsesk will let you remote control, its basically a clone of teamviewer

OSMAnd+ is a good app. Using openmaps. You often Ned the address of where you are going since place searches of businesses may no come up. But the navigation has been good.

I’m still running a 2010 Iomega NAS. Swapped the Lenovo OS that they updated it to to plain Debian, because the “upgrade” from Iomega OS to the version they released under Lenovo had ads in the admin menus.

I actually forget what it worked like. I installed it when I had my Essentials PH1 phone, with the 360 camera add on module. But the battery died on that too many years ago now
