Fun Fact: MacOS is partially based on FreeBSD.

If I recall correctly, they specifically said that FSR 4 would be coming to RDNA 2 systems early next year.

Even pre-covid I was running into kids at the college I worked at at the time who didn’t know how to use a mouse or a flash drive.

There used to be a lot more public open source companies but a lot of them were bought out. Sun Microsystems, Novell, Silicon Graphics, RedHat, Caldera, Oracle, etc. all are or were companies that made open source software and were publicly traded.

sudo apt full-upgrade -U -y 

Should be all you need.

I had to look it up, 20 years of using, and customizing, Linux and I have never heard the word ricing before in this context.

I don’t know anything about tarot cards so I’m not sure I get the joke, but it looks cool.

I hate this shit. Nobody gave a shit about GiB until companies just had to enshitify hard drives. When I was a kid 1GB was 1024 MB end of discussion, nobody was counting anything in base 10.

That’s probably going to depend on your age. Mint didn’t exist when I was using Caldera.

Perhaps your wife needs something like this?

Yup, that’s why I’m still looking.

I’ll stop looking for alternatives when it becomes a one click AI on button instead.

I mean… you can probably use the computer to order a pizza right?

There was a brief period of time (roughly 2006-2015ish) when the best Windows machine was a Mac and that will never not be funny to me. I think it was PC Magazine that ranked the MacBook Pro specifically as the best machine for Vista sometime around 2008.

I have been trying to figure that out too and I can’t find anything anywhere. I think I will just keep calling it GIMP.

Source? I’ve never seen anybody who balked at the name after seeing what Adobe charges.

It stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program… how is that not descriptive?

I do. But, I recognize that preference is personal so I try not to shame people for the desktop environment they prefer.

I’ve tried KDE, and others, multiple times in the last 20 years or so and it’s just never felt as polished to me as Gnome does. When Gnome 3 came out I spent quite a bit of time with Mate because I didn’t like the new Gnome. But eventually I got used to it and it got better.

Typically, for new Linux users, I recommend Gnome for Mac people and KDE for Windows people.

Exactly, that and the “we are a [insert product name here] shop” mentality. The things I have had to fight for over the years are mind boggling.

All of my degree was in C, C++, C#, Java, etc. and the one class I had that did web applications did Java backends and middleware with PHP frontends. It wasn’t until I got into the industry that I had to learn Angular, Electron, React, Django, etc.

I don’t think it’s the devs making these decisions.
