I don’t think Windows uses a microkernel. Hybrid kernel is the term I’ve heard used.

Hosting services behind a VPN I suppose

Wouldn’t that be UPS?

I feel that if Apple could have soldered the RAM back then, they would have.

Apple used to ship repair and upgrade kits with guides on how to apply them. Not sure they were as anti-repair then as they are now.

I’ve done that once. Then I made the mistake of updating past the Android version it came with. Suddenly it was no better than most of the cheap androids I’d owned before that. It was the Oneplus 7 Pro and it just started lagging like hell 2 years in.

I’m now 2 years into my iPhone 13 mini, have also kept up with software updates and it hasn’t slowed down at all.

I’m actually looking at something else for my first bike, but it does have a forum because it seems to have a huge fan base - I’m looking at older Ducati Monsters, particularly the 620.

Nah, the Complex instructions are ridiculously complex and the Reduced ones can still do a lot of stuff.

ARM and RISC-V are entirely different in that neither one is based on the other, but what they have in common is that they’re both RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architectures. RISC is what makes ARM CPUs (in your phone, etc) so efficient and hopefully RISC-V will get there too.

x86 by comparison is Complex Instruction Set Computing, which allows for more performance in some cases, but isn’t as efficient.

Cars too. Lots of marque or model specific forums still kicking it.

Direct Rendering Manager I believe

Lifelong iOS hater who moved to iOS 2 years ago here. They’re different strokes for different folks.

If you’re like I used to be, get an Android! Flash a custom ROM on it! All the freedom is amazing.

Now I have an iPhone. It may even lack some features Android has. It gets them slower. But the experience is ridiculously polished and consistent. This is a device I can’t have fail on me.

I still use Linux on my gaming PC and one of my work laptops. I love it. I love fiddling with things. I just want my phone to be an appliance like my fridge now. I buy it and forget it for the next few years.

That’s great, but you can actually thank Apple for it as much as Google.

Perhaps one day it’ll just be systemd at this rate

Stop and go city traffic isn’t all that sustained, because of the stop part.

None of my cars so far have had any issues towing ~2 tons, I’m not sure why 2.5 would be that much worse.

Of course, they’ve each had 400 newton-meters of torque out of their dinky little diesel engines.

I believe you can already play games on the Tesla’s screen.

I do hope they’re disabled when driving…

All three? Surely you must be forgetting OUYA, KFC and Soulja Boy!

Born in that time frame. Windows XP was just finicky as hell, no matter how much praise it got later. If you wanted your Internet to work you just had to flush the DNS cache or just disable and re-enable the interface occasionally. Hell, same for my mouse - occasionally had to use the keyboard to disable and re-enable the mouse drivers.

Now shit just works. Only reason I’ve had to fiddle around so much in recent years is that I used Gentoo for a couple of years. Though by the time I was bored with it, it worked better than Windows XP ever did.

Given that a lot of other people are praising him and his videos, could you maybe point out some of these mistakes?

I know it could probably be googled, but it’s always better to come to a discussion with information if you’re going to criticize someone or something (to be fair - it’s also better to have information if you’re praising someone or something)

Operating system so TrueNAS in your case

People keep saying you can’t use Nvidia GPUs with Linux or that the experience is horrible, but truth be told, if you already have one, you can keep it no problem. The main scenario where it still had issues as of last year was if you used KDE Plasma with Wayland on Nvidia (though I hear Plasma 6 improved a lot of it - not sure, because I didn’t have a lot of issues on Plasma 5 either).

Your best bet for Nvidia GPUs is an Ubuntu-based distro. Ubuntu itself is an option though not necessarily the best - they bake in some ads and a lot of people aren’t fans of being forced to use Snap, which has a proprietary backend unlike Flatpak. Personally I’d say go for Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop if you want a Windows-like desktop environment and Pop!_OS if you want something completely different altogether from Windows. On Mint or Ubuntu you can install the drivers from the provider proprietary driver installer (super simple), on Pop!_OS you can just get a Nvidia iso and have them preinstalled.

But honestly, I didn’t even have issues with Nvidia when I was on Gentoo, supposedly one of the harder distros to maintain.

Would I buy a Nvidia GPU now that I’ve completely ditched Windows? Probably not, but I’m also not in a hurry to replace my 3060 Ti just to get rid of the logo.
