Typical windows troll, doesn’t like the truth.

Its running uneccessary stuff for my user, like telemetry, and other preinstalled MS nonsense ai.exe, etc.
And it definetly wasn’t building indexes. LOL. I have excel installed, if I type excel in the search with app filter it can’t find it.
Also I shared a drive between windows and Linux before. Linux GNOME indexing finds stuff instantly, Windows indexed search still takes forever looking for data.

Are you using the CLI importer tool?
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 5 days ago:
I think its more that you stated the obvious. Like saying 100% of Linux Appimages run on Linux. The reason to move from Windows, or one of them, is MS using telemetry and screen capture and other bloat that ruins the gamiglng experience due to processing power needed, you move that to a Linux machine and there’s no background garbage running.
For example my machine had dual boot, at idle windows was using 6% of processing power to do nothing. On Linux it was 0 to .5% to idle.
With windows updates I have to delete Ai.exe and Ai.DLL from the office folders or randomly ai starts hogging resources even if I have no office apps in use. Just a terrible user experience.

In a way they do, the price of gasoline is artificially low in North America compared to Europe. And if you search gasoline subsidies you will see how many billions countries pay to prop up fossil fuel.
The cost of car ownership for a petrol cat depends on government.
For us our petrol is manipulated in another way also: We we paying around $1.80 a liter a while back, but an election happened so they removed some of the taxes on petrol as a party incentive, so now we are paying $1.50
While not a direct subsidy, that ooerating cost did have an impact on car purchase choices.

Yeah, and me taking a man pill doesn’t stop the lady getting pregnant if some other guys didn’t bother to take it. It does make sense for the woman to protect herself from douchebags

Well the government subsidizes the oil and gas industries too, so what is good for the goose is good for the Evs

I have tried both over the years. KDE rally has some great customization, but I come back to GNOME because it feels like the while DE is purposefully designed. GNOME Disks has built in backup and restore ISO files also, which I have found helpful for SDcards duplication. And there is an option to attach Isos or image files so you can mount them as loop devices and see the contents inside.

That behavior is controlled in the gnome user session defaults
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 1 week ago:
Running Tubleweed with Gnome, and the App is Disks. The user session defaults are accessed via dconf editor and you can set your system wide default for auto mounting, or manually tweak each drive via disks.I
Yast Partitioner was other screenshots, also has options to do the same if you run KDE tumbledweed, or you could install Disks.

Not true, if you format a NTFS or fat in windows, then remove drive letter, it won’t auto Mount, same I’d you format it in Linux to a windows format and add to your PC, it prompts for a drive letter.
As for Linux, your user session defaults determine if it automounts or not. Mine USD set to automount, so you can see in this screen the 80gig drive was auto mounted, but you can turn off USD and use specific mount options.
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 1 week ago:
Same with windows, first time you plug in it asks for drive letter, (which is mounting) if you hit ignore, that disk won’t be mounted at reboot, but if you choose a letterift will
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 1 week ago:
You can set it to do that. Same as you do in windows when you assign a drive letter, it then will automount that drive. You can do that in Linux in the disks tool
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 1 week ago:
I think that was part of a Windows 11 update, but I’d have to find the article
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 1 week ago:
This article is more for a headless server. Any DE is going to present disks to you. And if some odd quirky drive doesn’t, you go into the disks app and click the play icon on the drive you want to mount
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 1 week ago:
So on windows a drive will not automount the first time, you have to assign a drive letter, which it then remembers. If you skip this its just a drive in the devicr manager with no mount.
You can accomplish the same in Linux so the drive automounts on boot with a nofsil option so that if it is disconnected from the PC the boot moves on rather than waiting on the drive to become available. But otherwise thr DE will let you mount it instantly.
This is a non problem. Linux has issues but drive mounting is not one of them.

What are you running? Mine just shows up, I double click it and supply the encryption password and it’s mounted. (Which could be skipped if it wasn’t encrypted)

Lol.

Science has newly discovered a measurable personality trait, where a person acts against facts and logic if they feel they are winning against an enemy (even a non tangible enemy). It explains why US Christians would vote in a pedo rapist felon, because they think they are winning something.

Once I updated to OpenSUSE 15 everything was working so well it got boring, because there was no fixes or no tweaks needed, I had to start some other projects to keep me occupied.

Fuschia, I think it was called. Their own Linux like OS, but with all their own custom tools
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 1 week ago:
I have a brand-new lenovo workstation with an nVidia RTX card. Works great. Vulcan calculates the shader cache on first run of a game that takes a minute to run through, but after that the game runs great. I’m on tumbleweed, the only issue I had past week was kernel moved ahead but the nvidia driver wasn’t ready right away. Just meant booting the old kernel in the boot menu till that all syncs up

Windows 10 did that to us. My work workstation and my wife’s laptop suffered with W10, so I searched alternate OS and found Linux. Luckily our CAD software had a Linux version and I got productivity back.
My wife’s 2010 laptop on w10 was not usable. Its super fast with Linux. Faster than my work issued brand-new Lenovo laptop with W11. The only performance problem would be rendering video or other hardcore tasks.
- Comment on How often do you update software on your servers? 1 week ago:
Depends, on how critical something is…since we deal with servers / customers at work that often are purposely not adjusted for years…because introducing a different behaviour (even if better) would grind production to a halt, I take a not careful approach.
I was using OpenSUSE Leap, and with zypper you can review which patches are available, whether they are critical or run recommended or not needed. You can then apply which specific patch you want be CVE if necessary.
But with Leap’s path seaming messy at the moment, I moved to Tumbleweed, since you have snapshotying built in. If an update did mess something up you just rollback to the previous snapshot and in less than a minute it is fixed

Volumio is a great tool for Pi or PC and has phone app to control music selection remotely. You can add music to the volumio player, or access dlna shares, as well as add on music services and internet radio
- Comment on Looking for opinions on Trilium Notes 1 week ago:
After trying a bunch I settled on trillium, it seemed the best of the bunch. My only complaint would be the cloning note wasn’t working like I expected. I think I expected the Clone to make a copy, but it was more of a symlink duplicate
