That doesn't matter, of course. You can always count on our friend debianxfce to preach his religion and explain to you what you should be using....

[jacob]

That's subjective. I for one like the clean uncluttered look. KDE is IMHO plain hideous, so is Windows. MacOS is ok, but it has been imitated to death...

[jacob]

Well I must say I'm disappointed. It has been several hours since an article about a major new feature in systemd and none of the usual suspects has shown...

[jacob]

Idiots can be extremely useful, particularly if you have a dirty job you need to get done and you don't want to look like one yourself....

[jacob]

That's Poe's Law for you....

[jacob]

That's not mutually exclusive, is it....

[jacob]

I doubt that RedHat would pay anyone to spread such amount of BS about Linux. If he's paid by anyone, my best guess would be Apple....

[jacob]

The fact that Apple is much worse doesn't mean that Google is good. It's like saying the 737MAX is good because it doesn't necessarily immediately explode...

[jacob]

But it's improved; now they guarantee that no one except Google will spy on you, collect, monetize and misuse your private information....

[jacob]

Flatpaks work just fine in Ubuntu....

[jacob]

Is that because it's an optional feature, or because those machines don't implement the full spec correctly? Because if it's the latter, then those same...

Do it like on the Atari ST: display a number of bombs, depending on the type of error

[jacob]

Just like with any other type of media, it depends on your use case. XFS will perform very well for some workloads and not so well for others. Besides,...

[jacob]

Linux has a filesystem that competes feature for feature with ZFS: it's called ZFS.

As for why use Linux for a file server, well, maybe not....

[jacob]

No-one is saying that XFS is the Ultimate Filesystem for Everything(tm). No such FS exists....

[jacob]

I feel the same way, but XFS still has a lot going for it. It has some advanced features that ext4 doesn't offer, yet at the same time it's extremely...

[jacob]

I don't see much point in using ARM for a desktop PC, to be honest, but in a laptop that's another story. No more heat problems and 15+ hours autonomy...

[jacob]

Michael should deprecate trolls in favour of people who actually have something to say....

[jacob]

I felt the same for a long time. The idea of having / as a rescue system never made sense to me; if your system is upside down it's usually because the...

[jacob]

I expanded on it in the following sentence of my post, the one you actually left out. As you have noticed yourself, there is no problem debating systemd,...
