• 5 Best App Launchers for Ubuntu & Linux Mint

“The default application launcher in Ubuntu is provided by GNOME Shell, offering a full-screen grid of icons — but it isn’t to everyone’s tastes.”

It’s like Windows in a window. Not just Windows, but you can run many other operating systems in a VM too.

“We like the clean design and improved performance of Microsoft’s latest operating system, but it still suffers from its fair share of issues. Here’s what people gripe about the most.”

And they don’t even mention the ads or that Recall garbage thing that takes screenshots being forced on you even though the public made it obvious they don’t want that. That and all the telemetry; it’s pretty much spyware disguised as an operating system.

I’m sure there are more things but those are just the ones off the top of my head.

*Edit: I remembered the name of Recall

Owner of what?

As long as they’re able to punch down I don’t think they care

Interesting take.

The shareholders, mostly.

Why? What’s inaccurate about it? I have no idea and would like to learn.

I’m not saying I agree with their justification but I could see why they might be collecting yet another data point: education level. If someone constantly uses a calculator for simple calculations they might have a low education level. People in that demographic will be served different ads than more educated people.

It sucks, but I could see Google doing that.

Why ASUS? I used to have one of their routers but aside from that I don’t know much about them.

I’m not that familiar with them; why Lenovo?

How meta.

And that’s only the oral method.

Do you know of any good video tutorials? There are so many I don’t know where to start. I tried one and it seemed too fast paced and not that helpful.

Agreed, but there have been big projects that have been open source. I can imagine* an AI (LLM) being developed fully FOSS. It would be rare, but I can see it happening if a big foundation got behind it. Maybe Mozilla, or another that tries to keep the spirit of their mission statement.

*Imagine: I’m not too familar with all of the current, public, and free models out there, just a few. This was just me making a hopeful guess about if it might be actually happening now.

I’m not the person who asked, but still thanks for the information. I might give this a try soon.

Fascinating bit of history, thanks!

It’s interesting to hear the steps taken to achieve their goals, but I was more curious about why those are their goals in the first place. Why does the govt. want to force a language on the people when they obviously prefer a different language?

Their friends help in a way, because they also speak French in class but English outside (and Quebec’s government hates that).

I’m not familiar with how the Quebec government works so that sentence made me curious. Why does the govt. hate that?

Go to the country. Eat a lot of peaches.
