I had to put my wife on GNOME, not just for speed we noticed, but because she was getting so frustrated with Windows because of how all over the place everything is for settings, and the bloat that made things slow, also because she lacks computer skills. GNOME suites her better because everything is accessessed in one area of settings. KDE was too much.

No, nothing taken to heart. I also hate bloat, like W11 (for work) is barely usable…so much janky garbage, and I have to keep deleting Ai.exe and aimgr.DLL from certain folders.

I just don’t care about boot since I have a fanless case, with a system that is on 24/7, and the systems that do boot is basically: hit power on and adjust mouse/pad while it boots and it’s ready to go.

I did try about 10-15 distros on a 2010 laptop till I found one that was super quick on that hardware.

Turns out NixOS with gnome was super responsive compared to NiXOS with KDE. People say GNOME is heavy, but because it does so much memory prefetch it was super responsive on a 15 year old CPU since cached memory was being used rather than KDE loading as you go.

You recognize the irony of replying with an AI generated message that took compute time and watts…

Yeah. I saw the first explosion live in the 80s. All the classrooms had their TV AV units rolled in to watch the launch of first women in space or something to that effect. And OHHH that looks bad

Sure but performance tweaking is a different argument than “init is better because it is fast”. If you watch the video link I posted it explains why systemd exists and its benefits. Speed alone isn’t a good metric for an OS

The training of that LLM probably took a ton of energy though

They have parachutes for a softer landing on water. They aren’t hitting it at terminal velocity from the free fall

Except when it exploded

Children can have high IQ

They have parachutes to slow decent, so its not just a hard drop from space to ocean surfacw

Yep, researchers showed that changing the privacy buttons on apple stuff did nothing to alter data traffic sent to apple.

I don’t get that as a problem, my systems are systemd and boot is 10s, and shutdown is 8s. And that’s not a super highend machine.

Let’s say you get a 5 second boot? So what , what will you gain in 5 seconds. You aren’t running critical military intelligence network or something.

Just needs a few more pixels

Boot and shutdown are faster

Lol. Are people still casing 2 second shut down vs 3 seconds, etc? An OS system services system shouldn’t be graded on speed of boot or shutdown, but how well it does what it was designed to do.

This 45 minute video explains why systems was needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo

But that’s the nice thing with Linux, you can run what you like.

Similar when I was in the UK at a Fish and Chip shop. Sikh man asking if I want Curry on my Chips, and then after paying and leaving he says “Ta Mate”

I thought sailors always had a top galley chef and good food as a way to keep morale up on board

Jesus looks like he’s suffering because he used to be a tiger

How many art sessions the tattoo artist had?

The praying hands are well done, so I assume that was done by a different artist, before the rest of the nasty work we see

Recursive Tattoo, nice
