That SOC has a MALI GPU, and last I heard MALI drivers are flaky in Linux.

Not having “out of the box”

Where did I say it should absolutely work “out of the box?” Compiling your own drivers can be OK too, but obviously less convenient.

All distros are the same,

No they are definitely not, there are huge differences in availability, quality, configuration and age of packaged software. And finally there are differences in security updates. Also the difference in hardware makes a difference in how well it’s supported with drivers.

A general problem with Arm is that the GPU is poorly supported, and if you want stable drivers, you have tro use an old kernel.

Your response reeks of propaganda.

They’re objectively better

From what I heard, Orange Pi had lots of software problems for instance with drivers, and the quality of distros are not nearly as good as the official for Raspberry Pi.

What do you mean what does he mean? He says it right there:

during balance or scrub of a btrfs volume?

BTRFS is obviously a filesystem, so it’s equally obviously corruption of the BTRFS filesystem.

Mobian of course she says.
( She uses Debian on the computer )

Sorry silly me, a Pinephone.

My wife has one, it’s been a long time since she have talked about it though.
She used to mention when improvements were made.

Edit: Pinephone.

Do you mean misplaced take?
Sorry couldn’t help myself. 😋

I personally would buy anything from them at the moment.

You would?

Well there needs to be a working general boot-loader for one. Then the hardware needs to have drivers that work.

Ofcourse the cops need to respond

Yes, but then there’s the matter of HOW they respond.

Yes, but I still don’t believe an anonymous caller should have this kind of weight. If it’s not anonymous however it should.
But then there should also be a possibility of the caller facing charges on an obviously false accusation.
So the caller needs to be verified before going to extremes.

Maybe this was done properly, but I was thrown off by the handcuff bit, here it’s not normal to handcuff somebody who cooperates.

OK, here it’s the other way around, you don’t normally handcuff somebody unless they are arrested.

If they enter his home, and there is no evidence of a crime, then what is the basis for the arrest?
One thing is to investigate the truth of a call, another is to act on it as if it’s verbatim truth.

How is “someone called” enough evidence to enter peoples homes and arrest them?
These officers should lose their job,

Yes, it’s such a weird thing QT doesn’t support numerical keyboard?

Dolphin is AFAIK by far the best file manager on Linux. And it is more than decent.
By decent I just mean ability to do basic stuff, like open terminal in current directory, create symbolic links, having detailed list view as default, open root instance, easy switching between 1 and 2 panels, tabs for quick navigation between multiple directories. Easy access to removable drives.

But I think almost all file managers for Linux have all that now. I’m currently using Thunar because I’m using XFCE, but I recently configured a laptop with KDE for a friend, and I must admit, I’m strongly considering going back to KDE. It was just such a pleasant experience to work with, my only gripe is that I can’t make shortcuts on the numeric keypad, and I use that for window tiling.
It’s such a weird omission in KDE/QT, that it doesn’t recognize the numpad properly? If they have fixed that, I’ll go back to KDE instantly.

I was tired of Microsofts monopolistic shenanigans. So when Ubuntu 5.10 came out in 2005, and was extremely well done, it was time to switch to Linux. Because Linux was finally polished and functional enough to actually be at least as good as Windows.
Admittedly there were a period of dual booting for games. But that isn’t necessary today, as we now have thousands of games that work on Steam.

You can say that what it took for me, was for Linux to become good enough to use as a daily driver. I’d say today it’s a no-brainer.

When Gnome 2 was discontinued, it was a major pain in the ass though, KDE was buggy and Gnome shell was hell (IMO). So I can’t say I never looked back, because I did install Windows 7 in frustration. But that was a very short adventure, because Windows is simply so horrible when you get used to Linux. The idiocy of Windows is momentous, and the jumping through hoops fighting Microsoft stupid security features, that won’t even allow you a simple thing as changing your default text editor, becomes insanely tiresome and frustrating very quickly.

So it was back to Linux faster than you can say oops (almost).
Now the desktop has become less relevant to me, because I do almost everything through hotkeys. So I rarely navigate the desktop, so as long as I have a decent file manager, I’m 90% OK just having that.
