It’s a german company again, however currently seated in Luxembourg.

The main problem is the way YaST2 is (not) integrated with the modern KDE and Gnome settings. Gnome 40 then screwed things up even more for them as every item is now part of the overview, there ain’t the classical menu anymore.

If you know where to find things it’s great, but right now it indeed feels quite messy with lots of settings hard to find and split in lots of submenus.

Correct! Ventoy adds boot parameters on its own, screwing up some fundamental settings (sth. that can happen on any distro that isn’t making the user configure everything by hand). It’s also a questionable piece of software on its own given the binary blob it adds to every stick… do not use it.

The only fair comparison of Linux distros is always on devices of Linux vendors as they both pick the right hardware as well as merge Kernel patches if necessary.

I do however concur that OpenSuse offers basically everything. Except for intuitive system settings - but at least they’re all there, you never really have to use the CLI. Other than with others who will eventually lack something. Also the bootable btrfs snapshots by default are a dream for common users.

Good for you there wasn’t an “ease of use” or “intuitive” field.

for me it’s 2 consecutive “nights” of 17 hours. That way I’ll get about 3 to 4 hours of actual quality awakeness. Doesn’t work always though, sometimes I can’t fall asleep enough.

Anything below that is always crap, no matter what.

Like every time a country conducts genocide people close their eyes and don’t want to admit that, facing such crimes against humanity, every single Israeli has the duty to do whatever they can to stop their government. No matter if its a Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Jinping, Putin or Netanyahu (or some political conglomerate), and no matter where the injustice and moral corruption began or what once was, the people have to stand up against a corrupt system at that point. Of they don’t they are indeed complicit, every single time.

Personalized propaganda is quite something these days.

Haha, thanks mate. 😁 I’ll rather have my fun with them though for reasons I just outlined here, for them to either take and grow or completely ignore / misunderstand. https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/14637515

damn, you’re constructing new bogeymans to punch at an accelerating pace! That increasing efficiency curve gives me some real market liberalism vibes. 📈

In case you really don’t get it, look at what you answered to initially and then ask yourself how your accusation relates to that. You keep accusing others of things to then throw punches at those accusations (the bogeyman) to immediately force the other person into a defensive position, even if those accusations weren’t even on-topic. It’s a manipulative communication strategy to one-up your perceived ‘opponent’ in a discussion right from the start. Sadly this is a very common thing to come from political extremists, causing anyone who’s aware of this to be even more wary.

Nobody, absolutely nobody should ever reply to something this toxic as you can only lose. So to reduce the emotional tension you’ve might caused and show how ridiculous the whole interaction is I’ll make fun about you.

This the only honest explanation you’ll get from me about this.

It’s hilarious how I don’t even need to say anything more than that those two websites are bad and you immediately constructed a whole bogeyman to punch at.

Anyone who’s visiting lemmygrad.ml (btw having a logo literally showing a battle tank) for more than 30 minutes and reading replies will not just see phenomenal bias towards China, the USSR and BRICS but utter denial of anything bad about them (usually through a mix of whataboutism and rabbit holes of political theory that eventually lead nowhere unless seen through a romanticized lense). Common “NATO caused Ukraine” and even old USSR propaganda nonsense gets flung around. Meanwhile you have to click through it really hard to find even one, for example, China-critical post (couldn’t find even one). Same with hexbear. The bias is as bad as your comebacks.

Well educated people are able to see and criticize all kind of wrongdoing, let it be from Russia, Israel, USA, China, socialism, capitalism or even some internet dork in the comment section. Those communities can not, they’re purely ideology- and doctrin-driven.

I welcome anyone reading this to visit lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.net and make up their own mind. 🙂

Nice bogeyman you got there, really polished. You must have worked hard on it.

If that’s your argument then I assume the “nazi” accusation is just bs. Lemmygrad and Hexbear were full of extremists.

*only if it’s a business machine as far as I know. A friend who’s working for a company selling those B2B keeps telling me how often they get XPS returned, apparently modern variants just keep failing. Latitudes on the other hand seem almost indestructible.

Same answer as above: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/25676408/14608182

I can also cite academic papers that apparently prove homeopathy works or, if time doesn’t matter, that lobotomy is worth a nobel prize. Doesn’t mean they ain’t of low quality / biased and pro-shit.

Dude, there were literal happy posts all over the place when Kissinger passed. There are US-critical memes on Lemmy and the Fedi all the time, in addition to those making fun of Russia, China, communism etc. Most people are aware that the US is shit. However they’re also aware that the USSR back then and China right now are also huge piles of garbage, politically speaking (country and people sure are nice!).

Has it ever cross your mind that most people ain’t pissed because you’re anti-US, but because you’re pro-shit?

Damn, never noticed I couldn’t say stuff like “the US is a shitshow” over here. The agents on my door were always so nice as well!

Buggers, guess I’ll have to buy some Apple stocks now and pleasure myself over a picture of Abraham Lincoln.

You see, you had some sympathy here until you threw the whole community under the bus because some rando on Lemmy.

But I guess you disgruntled Windows users are also all the same, hurrdurr.

Find some Linux device manufacturer if you want to make sure everything that exists works just as-is, and if you’re angry about missing features go to those bozos at Nvidia, Intel and AMD to complain them not being up to snuff.

My brother in penguin computers, that wasn’t a negative post. I just mentioned all the things to point out that switching OS can be really hard and the first time getting to Linux ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. 😉

Really just needs one problem with some necessity you can’t fix to screw up the whole experience. Doesn’t even have to be Linux’ fault; just thinking about god damn printers…

Now what’s the juicy backstory to this drama?
