That’s not what happened. There are still Russian contributors. Just the onces that have in some way (maybe indirectly) ties with the Russian government have been removed.

Why not use Android in the first place then? I mean, it works fine on pretty much any device.

If you use swap (excluding hibernation) it means you need more ram.

The kernel used by Android is Linux, just like the kernel used by PiOS.

Great! Used Arch for a while, with KDE. I’m now using Debian with Gnome permanently.

I’m not familiar with Blend OS, but if your goal is being able to run Android apps you can also install Waydroid yourself in multiple distro’s. I’m running Debian with Gnome on my Surface Go 2 using the Surface kernel and Waydroid with Gapps. It runs really well.

So what’s the known issue?

Can’t you change to a normal user with become? We do lots of stuff with Ansible as normal user. You should be able to create tasks that get executed as normal user and install yay and run makepkg, and then run yay to install packages.

That’s bullshit, it’s still free for the normal lts support. Only if you want support after that you’ll have to pay, or upgrade to the next version for free.

They just don’t care about their citizens.

It won’t mess with anything, but it does require to be set up on every pc you want to use it.

If you don’t use a semicolon directly in MySQL it won’t do anything until you add it.

Same, many elements are blurry when I use scaling in Arch with KDE.

I didn’t say I couldn’t fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you’ll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there’s all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft’s own Surface line.

For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn’t install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.

This has happened for multiple versions.

Try Windows. It regularly breaks drivers (not only WiFi) on some hardware (mostly HP). I’ve never had issues with WiFi on Linux on HP, Dell, Microsoft Surface and even a Macbook.

Exactly, most, if not all, os’s do this.

Ram usage is really nothing to worry about depending on the amount you have. Windows will free ram where needed as long as there is enough. If ram is not being used by applications it will be used for other things (it will be cached I believe?). If almost no ram is being used it means some things might take longer to load.

Windows on my Surface Go 2 used about 3-4GB of ram when idle, while on my work laptop with 64GB ram it uses about 10-12GB. But if necessary applications can use some of that ram that’s normally being used in idle.

I do agree about Linux distros being faster, that’s my experience as well.

I seem to remember that Carbon also doesn’t need Origin, or am I wrong? I also think that it was awesome.

It’s relevant because it’s there. If you don’t play those parts it doesn’t mean it’s there. They put the time in other things more important to the game than transitions. Also, the engine is completely different.

Isn’t that labels thing the same as using the + in Gmail? You can use myname+spam@gmail.com to register somewhere, and if you receive anything else on that email address you’ll know they shared your email address.
