The corrupt oligopolists have completely given up on QA; why would they bother when they don’t feel any real competitive pressure.
AFAIK, this has been happened as far back as Windows 8. I believe they had a giant pool of physical PCs (laptops, pre-builts and various popular component combination for desktop) that they physically tested updates on, but they scrapped all of it because they know they don’t need to worry about competition.
Maybe they didn’t need to worry about competition because they tested so vigorously. 🤷♂️
i used to be a windows guy. discovered arch linux and it’s not enough. i wanna do hardcore shit so i’m going kali
Kali is not for actual every day use.
You can install all of its included tools on whatever distro you want.
gotcha! thank u, sir/ma’am/nb. which distro would you recommend?
I thought the “hardcorer” alternative to Arch was LFS
Not if you are a 1337 H4XX0R like the baddass you’re answering to.
LFS is for memes. I guess Nix is a level up from Arch.
i’m new to this shit (started arch yesterday) so i dunno
i use my macOS terminal all fucking day so i know my way around a linux interface, it’s more or less the same shit (macOS uses zsh and linux uses bash…the syntaxes are almost identical, if you know one, you know the other)
What kind of “hardcore shit” are you planning to do with your computer? 😅
it was a comedic exaggeration. i’m interested in cybersecurity
Good riddance Windows die in a fire. I’m glad they’re owning up to having an unmainatable 20 year old pile of spaghetti code and are giving up. Makes it die faster.
Win 11 is one of the ‘bad’ releases for sure (cf ME, Vista, 8 vs XP, 7, possibly 10)
Beyond the title, Louis eloquently talks about this dynamic here:
i could make a mean comment, but i recently switched from mint to ultramarine kde and i could swear it’s buggier than w11. literally every time i look at it wrong i need to reboot.
I have experience in KDE being a bit buggy too. It’s kinda crazy how powerful it is, but I guess more “moving parts” means more breakage.
After a while, I moved away from KDE.
I haven’t used KDE Plasma since Plasma 6 came out, though. I’ve heard people say it’s a lot less janky, so maybe my experience is no longer the case. Nowadays the only interaction I have with KDE is the 1% of the time my steam deck spends in desktop mode.
I’ve had very few problems with KDE Plasma (on Fedora) since I swapped to it like a year ago. Discover is being weird every now and then, but I mostly use dnf directly anyways.
I also find KDE to be a real mixed bag. Every time I have tried it, thinking “maybe it got better”, it has ranged from being a bit buggy to “holy shit this is well broken”. I may just have been really unlucky but I have been burned too many times and now avoid it altogether.
I’d love to recommend the file pilot the file explorer. It isn’t the most feature complete (it’s still on beta) but just the sheer amount of time you gain by it’s search tooling is just astonishing.

That’s some software gore.
How does that even get shipped?

Written by Copilot and passes the tests also written by Copilot.

Guess Explorer is now a webapp too?

I hate the little animations everywhere. Luckily I no longer need to use windows.
