Matriks404@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Dualboot_irl (Art by 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚆𝚘𝚕𝚏𝚍𝚛𝚊𝚐𝚘𝚗)21·18 days agoThere’s no way Windows would just access non-readable partition, and do anything with it, let alone delete it. No operating system does this.
Replacing the bootloader is of course much more likely, but the general rule is that if you can manage to install Linux, you probably can follow basic instructions to fix GRUB or whatever your bootloader is.
I see few of these, but there might be more:
-
The icons on the desktop are too apart from each other.
-
The icon for a floppy disk is much different to what’s on Windows XP.
-
I think program names in the taskbar are 1 or 2 pixels too high, but I might be wrong.
-
The icons in the notification area are too close to each other.
-
Last icon in the notification area is too close to the clock.
-
There’s too much padding to the left of notification area icons.
-
There’s too much padding to the right of the taskbar clock.

Matriks404@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•System requirements for me and not for thee6·23 days agoI got surprised like two days ago when I got a desktop notification that Linux kernel killed a process, because there was no memory available, or something like that. I didn’t know it can do that, lol.
Matriks404@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE for Windows 10 Exiles: A KDE campaign about not throwing away your computer just because it doesn't support Windows 111·26 days agoIf they can’t I’d either recommend to use Linux or buy a new computer. I wouldn’t want to support “unsupported” installation of Windows 11 on “older” hardware, even if it worked perfectly fine as of now, since that would be asking for problems later.

Matriks404@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE for Windows 10 Exiles: A KDE campaign about not throwing away your computer just because it doesn't support Windows 113·27 days agoIt’s better for them to upgrade to windows 11 than stay on unsecure OS.

I think at least few years ago it was much better for laptops if you cared about your laptop’s battery life (on Windows). Not sure how it’s nowadays, or if it works the same way on Linux.
I think in the end, if you need Chromium-based browser and want something that is supported by bigger corporation for some reason, you need to decide which company you hate more and use competitor’s product.
Sometimes I do that so stuff like different software is more visible in larger texts. However I probably did an overkill there.
Yeah, let’s use whole different shell, because you can’t add some few aliases to your
.bashrc
.
alias cd..='cd ..' alias cd...='cd ../..' alias cd....='cd ../../.. alias cd.....='cd ../../../..'
You mean
flatpak install flathub com.microsoft.Edge
?
Probably not Version 7 Unix or anything more modern (ref).
I’ve switched to Debian GNU/Linux, because I figured out it’s easier to manage than modern Windows anyways.
I’ve ended up taking notes on personal MediaWiki instance on various Unix/GNU commands, and various other stuff.
Also ended up finding 7 bugs (for now) mostly in APT/Aptitude and their documentation (didn’t report them yet).
Don’t mind me, I am just a self-diagnosed autist (lmao).
Parts of it, yes. Not the components that make macOS a macOS though (AFAIK).

When riding my bike - Komoot
When hiking/walking - Komoot or Organic Maps
