If they can’t I’d either recommend to use Linux or buy a new computer. I wouldn’t want to support “unsupported” installation of Windows 11 on “older” hardware, even if it worked perfectly fine as of now, since that would be asking for problems later.

Why even have any effects at all? They are distracting as shit.

It’s better for them to upgrade to windows 11 than stay on unsecure OS.

Tildes. And maybe Hacker News.

I was always wondering why there’s no real audio-based interface for blind people, instead of trying to describe what’s on the screen. Have this ever been tried out?

Programming for accessibility is one of these things that I always fascinated me, and it makes me sad that support for it no longer matters for a lot of software developers. Maybe it’s something I am going to try to do? Is there any documentation where to start with that?

Huh, that’s a pretty good idea. I already have a Raspberry Pi setup at home, and it wouldn’t be hard to duplicate in other location.

I don’t 🙃

Why not make Ubuntu a GNU/ Redox distribution at that point?

I really wish they had easier way to switch to newer version. It works for me, since it’s not that hard to edit sources.list (or debian.sources nowadays), but I don’t get why they don’t make a tool that does a release upgrade like on Ubuntu. Could even list changes made to the sources file during execution for that matter.

• Anki
• Beyond Compare
• Discord
• GIMP (Not sure if it’s installed by default on Linux Mint) with PhotoGIMP patch.
• GnuCash
• GParted
• KeePassXC
• KWrite + Kate
• Pinta
• qbittorrent
• Steam
• Telegram
• Thunderbird
• virt-manager
• VLC
• Wine

Scientists propose a lot of stuff. A lot of these proposals are contradictory to each other.

Still cool.

Yeah, it was the first version with Unity, but I think Amazon integration was introduced in some later version.

Some random shitty distributions for netbooks.

Then Ubuntu 11.04 and I have very fond memories of it. But now Ubuntu sucks.

Using Debian 13 with KDE currently.

Yes, I’ve also read about problems with dual-boot systems after Windows updates, which is why I’ve refused to use Windows too often to make the updates worthwhile.

Sometimes Windows just overwrites GRUB (or whatever you use on your system) bootloader. But it’s relatively easy to fix using your distro’s installation media. Just in case this happens you need to refer to your distro’s documentation or community forums to fix it.

I do recommend however in the future to not put Windows and Linux on the same disk, but have 2, each for respective OS. That way, there’s no way Windows will ever touch your Linux bootloader, and you can still allow GRUB (or other bootloader) to chain-load Windows boot manager from the other disk.

The best move in algebraic chess notation killed me. Maybe some day I will beat this game dammit!

If you’re on Debian Stable you might have a version of Thunderbird that doesn’t have this feature, since software there is a bit “outdated”. Next stable (trixie) releases in few months though.

I’ll be riding my bike till I feel and die.

macOS is a certified UNIX, sure, but according to some 2002 specification, and if you modify your system in such matter that it will be in nearly broken state.
