no it is not reasonable. What the hell do they need an extra 2gb for? What the hell is the operating system taking up that much resources for?

My first pc needed 4MiB of ram for the os. Why does this need 1536x as much to provide… not much else tbh?

and a block of ice and you are also mostly made of water. Still doesn’t make sense to compare them

not even close

what does storage have to do with ram?

oh god… we have built everything on microsoft stuff and the higher ups insist that anything that legally can be hosted on the cloud be migrated to azure. This will cause us (the actual workers) untold levels of pain if it were mandated by the eu.

I still wish it does become mandatory though

i use keepassxc for the offline database part, and syncthing to sync it (among other things) between all my devices

so you’re saying it is the wrong word, because most apks are downloaded from the internet on-device. That is not a local transfer

what if it’s poinsoned data, and i instruct you not to crawl it, but you do it anyway. Whose fault is it then?

i thought it was stupid before, and I still do

arch v debian?

LESS CHOICE!

Choice is only exciting for us techheads. Too much of it actively harms adoption.

and they just dropped support for pascal :/

he literally said it was not one of the features cherry picked to be reimplemented. So he did say, paraphrased, “because we couldn’t be bothered”

the reason is literally “because we decided not to implement it”

Saved you a click.

doesn’t change anything if you can’t avoid having to write the unsafe parts

windows 10 never had a fullscreen start menu (enabled by default). 7 never had it in any way.

If the start menu was fullscreen on 10, it’s because you explicitly enabled it. It’s not the default.

that’s windows 8

i don’t want flatpak either

they are legally obliged to have a backup strategy, no?

you seem to be confusing an operating system for the user interface. An os can (and regularly does) have more than one interface. In this case steamos ships with two of them. One they designed which is targeted for games. And they also ship plasma as a desktop environment for those who need it. The operating system lies under all that, and you can launch any piece of software from either of the interfaces. (or the terminal, that counts as a 3rd way to interact with the computer, I guess)
