Never heard of open desk…

Why not pick the typical LibreOffice?

Never enough ads.

Probably not that much. The beta is really new.

Yeah try it again now, I noticed how tiling seemed a bit laggy in the beginning but that has improved. I run the latest git version available in the arch repos.

Nvidia?

Even though they have been getting better now.

Yeah its my daily driver for a month. I think its great. I set all windows to tile and use hotkeys to switch between workspaces. No bugs from what I can tell.

There are flags to disable things, like pulseaudio or whatever, so its not even included in the binary. Which means its 100% safe against vulnerabilities in that piece of code since its not inside the binary at all.

Just make sure you can disable any ads or updates before buying.

Ok :)

Actually plasma uses less resources than xfce. Not many people seem to know this, but its both better looking and more efficient.

You also get full Wayland support. So I would actually recommend plasma, but both can be installed and tried since we are blessed with choice in the Linux world.

Lemmy is a confusing place. I sometimes get reported for trolling for just stating an opinion and sticking to it despite others not agreeing with it. That is trolling I guess. :)

No, the fun part is them trying to understand what aws is, because why should they know what that is? Nobody outside of devops knows how it works.

Its actually making fun of our own culture, talking about these things as if others just know what they are.

When my car mechanic starts talking to me what they want to fix, I dont understand anything and just nod along.

Ok but the game is so full of cheaters its not even worth playing.

Sounds like everyone should buy a bit of blockchain and crypto stock market stuff… Just in case it takes over…:)

Yeah 100%. I just dont know if Europe can compete. There is no real European cloud with hundreds of services, and Linux in the enterprise world is much harder to administer than windows. Microsoft is good at selling their enterprise stuff.

I think all of that is going to put Europe behind. But maybe its good to get started. Perhaps that will actually lead to an entire market for making Linux as good as windows in the enterprise.

I think it wont crumble during our livetime. But the insane debt is going to make dollars worth less and less. Perhaps they switch to bitcoin… :)

I mean yeah. Trump could tomorrow make some idiotic statement about tariffs on American cloud services like aws. Seriously, who would be surprised?

Before Trump, nobody would even suggest to distance themselves from the USA. Now, everyone is thinking it.

Great job I guess, if you want a planet where countries are fighting eachother instead of working together. But Trump mentality is that he must be the winner, always. He cant understand that sometimes another country being winner also helps his own. He must be the winner.

He is the typical guy in the sandbox that takes the entire sandbox because its all about him.

Yeah. :) 100% tariffs on data transfers out of American Web Services…

Leta give it to Trump and Elon Musk, they will take good care of it… Lol.

Trump will isolate aws to America only, claiming other countries are ripping him off.

Aws becomes American Web Services.

Just ask people here, people just love anyone who switches over to Linux and want to learn about it. Because we actually love this operating system. Its so good.

When my kid started using Linux, once he knew how to start programs and install things, we went through where the files are on the file system and how to get there in a terminal. I think thats a good starting point so you understand the foundation of the system.

And then go though a basic Linux command line tutorial to learn about the common tools for listing files, filtering results, renaming and deleting files etc.

You can do that stuff in a graphical file manager too but you dont really get that understanding of how things work until you do it in the command line.
