The Ramen Dutchman

I mean really, fuck Microsoft and Windows!

Looking it up, there’s a discussion on Framework’s Discourse, but nothing shipping yet.

The best hope at the moment is to buy and connect an LTE M.2 key card that connects over USB-A, which would work on any laptop, come to think of it.

Hold up, there are third-party SIM card expansions‽

I don’t have a Framework laptop (yet) but once I’ve got the money together I really want one!

we dont have the K, just the regular

Ah, my bad (^^;
I ran an i7-4790K in my gaming PC for a long time, as far as games go this 10-year old CPU still hold up well, never had to upgrade it surprisingly enough!

Still, a 4 GHz quad-core with hyper-threading, and about 8 GiB of RAM, is more than enough to run Windows 10.
Assuming these are for studying, the heavier workloads would consist of MS Word, Powerpoint and an instructional video in the webbrowser, no?
What required tasks were too heavy for these computers under Windows 8/10?
And do they run off SSDs, or spinning HDDs?

Little side note

those computers in question had either i5-4750 (I think?) or i7-4970 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task

The i7-4790K is still quite powerful, so I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the problem, at all. Perhaps they’re running on an HDD, have little RAM, or you got the CPU wrong.

You can see the CPU and RAM by launching System Info from tbf start menu, and see if it’s running on an SSD or HDD by launching Disks from the menu.

It is better NOT to put them in system directories since those will get overwritten by upgrades.

That’s a purely Atomic thing, isn’t it?

Unless someone ticked the “encrypt storage”-box in the installer, you don’t even have to pay for Pro to use it!

Just adding that Tekken 7 and 8 run better under Linux with Proton than under Windows, and that modding is just as easy!
Shogun 2: Total War also runs fine under Linux with Proton, but I couldn’t get it to run on Windows, anymore (Flash).

So it really depends on your game.

Username checks out, eh?

True, but saying Brew is unsafe but Flatpak isn’t, isn’t too odd, either.

I get that it’s less secure, but using verified flatpaks beats homebrew by a large margin.

I might be mistaken but 60k > 12 thousand, no?

Or are you taking about 60k per year, suddenly?

Shame they didn’t mention that homebrew is a security nightmare and will happily download maliciously modified code

That’s so true, I was missing this part! With homebrew you’re at the mercy of whoever put the package out there, much like with installers (and nix to be fair)

Edit: omg then the author claims flatpak is better for security?!? It has the same nightmare security issues.

LMAO no‽ Flatpaks can be verified, and you can choose not to install unverified flatpaks (which you should!) They are also containerised pretty well by default, in case they’re malicious!

I’m just happy my boi nix got a shoutout.

I love having a packages file and a lock file, both user-specific rather than system-wide, offering reproducibility, stability and a good, central place where I can see what I did to debug.

Nobody said anything about the init system, though.

“We have middle weight over aged man at home”

At home: “Granddad”

It turned into a cursor.

100%!

The most hectic places in the world are the screens-filled streets of Tokyo and New York IMO (that’s not all the streets ofc)

Ads try to grab your attention or show off right into your face, removing them would 100% make life more tranquil.

Good eye!

I don’t see an umbrella, though; she might just be jumping to her death.
