That is irrelevant. We are more concerned with relative market share than raw numbers. For example, many devs will not develop towards a browser or OS that has less than 5% market share. If/when Linux market share hits 5% and even 10%, we expect marked increases in developer interest to support our OS of choice. As far as I’m aware, nobody really sets such metrics based on raw user counts, so that is a less important number for us. Your Statistics 101 course should have taught you to make sure the statistics you are measuring are relevant.

Where is data recovery $100? In my country, data recovery is like $1000 USD to look at your drive, and then they tell you how much they can recover and a full quote.

Ooh, that’s a fair claim! I don’t use Sidebery like that, so I have never run into that issue!

I’ve never trusted browsers to reliably remember history and restart where I left off, so I make heavy use of Sidebery’s snapshot feature.

If we’re talking about a great implementation of the feature, it would be ‘Sidebery’.

You trade a little system stability for bleeding-edge package access.

Ooh, I moved to hyprland a few months ago and fell in love, but sway will give me static layouts? My singular gripe with hyprland is I want to keep my RDP app fixed to a size and never resized for anything, because when that window resizes inadvertently, I have to MFA half a dozen connections. I mostly like the dynamic tiling, but I’d like to fix one window on one workspace and never have it resize.

This person was not a Samaritan, a proper noun meaning a person from Samaria. This person was a samaritan, “one who is compassionate or helpful to a person in distress”, a common English noun derived from the story of the good Samaritan that you are referencing. When we use the word samaritan, we are specifically trying to evoke the idea of that one good Samaritan. So yes, your point is technically correct, but not relevant.

Is the open driver more stable in Wayland now? 535, I couldn’t use Wayland at all. 545, the open driver was still giving me all kinds of problems, but proprietary driver was flawless. Just upgraded and nothing broke, so I guess I’ll try flipping back to open again and giving it a try, but the point of the proprietary driver has been stability, at least for some of us.

I love Linux, but you got some weird shit going on with your PC. I’ve got 3 4K monitors hooked up to a moderate-spec PC (Ryzen 9 3900X, 64GB RAM, RTX 3060 12GB) and I never saw white flashes when adjusting windows. Also it only rebooted when I told it to and never made much noise (quiet fans and all solid-state storage). Can’t say I ever used the super-D thing intentionally (I launched programs from the start menu, never used desktop shortcuts).

I run Linux now because it’s sick as tits and it’s the principle of the thing, but windows has been pretty fuckin’ rock-solid since 10. Shit, I had more graphical instability with Linux a few months ago, but that’s just because I insist on using Wayland, and Nvidia drivers had a rough year last year.
