if that were all they touched, it would be fine; but i’ve lost track of the number of times i setup a linux system for newbies and got emergency phone calls that the install was broken only to discover that they clicked on some kde setting somewhere that they both forgot about and didn’t understand.
it’s sort of like people deleting the windows folder on a windows system because they don’t think that they use it.
If it’s you’re first install go with gnome since it’s intentionally simplified.
You WILL get lost in all of the customization options that are available in KDE and most xwindows environments if you have no experience w anything besides Windows or Mac
No one is impartial and anyone who believes that they are only fooling themself to the detriment of everyone else.
Also questioning that “impartialality” under the circumstances it exists can get you jailed & fined being beyond your capability to pay; laying bear another inherent contradiction.
That judge is smart enough to know that if he decides against the next president of the United States then he can kiss is career goodbye.
Trump is still the favorite to win thanks to the electoral college and this judge knows that; so he’s not going to do anything to jeopardize his position like any other judge in this country would do.
It lays bare the inherent contradictions of our legal system and all of the legal professionals would prefer it that we didn’t pay attention, but merchan doesn’t have that luxury so he’s going to play it safe to protect himself; to the detriment the rest of the country as Trump himself has done
I’ve installed Gentoo, fedora and Debian on powerpc and Intel Macs a couple times in my past.
The Intel Macs were no more difficult than Windows machines and the powerpc Macs required an extra step for yaboot and time to fiddle with an of the services; but still not difficult.
it strikes me as odd that the only effective counter to this is to ignore the very real and legitimate harm caused by our hegemony.
use the user field parameter so that any volume can be mounted on demand.
it is well established; but there are plenty who willfully ignore that fact and you just ran into one of them.
as someone who’s getting axed sometime this quarter; i’m not far behind and will you hold my hand?
google and nvidia both do.
i don’t know if it’s still true; but they gave their employees 2 computers where their workstations were usually linux and their laptops were either linux or mac if they were engineers. it was their choice to decide what to get; but they usually went along with whatever their peers where using; except for non-engineers who always wanted macs no matter what, even if their windows machines were newer and better by miles.
it’s an ordinary desktop; the screwiness is introduced by intel’s decision to remove ap capability from its recent drivers.
the only horrible thing about this is how bad some of the alternatives are; somehow, it seems that google maps is the only one that will give you directions using public transit.
in case you’re unaware lemmy.world does not tolerate leftists view points to the degree that they’ve banned (aka defederated) entire leftist friendly instances.
if you want meaningful engagement: I strongly recommend using almost any other instance on the lemmyverse.
It’s not a laptop and the hardware is fully capable of ap mode support in it’s older iteration of drivers; Intel made the decision to remove that capability in the recent versions of the driver.
It’s not a laptop; it’s a mini desktop that I obtained to serve as a wifi router; storage server; firewall; VPN; media server; remote file storage; and my cat’s favorite warm napping surface.
the wifi nic is embedded on the motherboard and it was chosen since it included a high gain antenna; among other qualities.
Wifi works fine if you use it in ordinary client mode w full Linux support and the hardware is capable of fully supporting ap mode in older Linux kernels; it’s just that Intel decided remove higher speed ap mode support in the latest versions of the driver to force people to buy thier more expensive wifi nics.
it’s a pita every time something goes wrong; it works well most of the time, but it also REALLY sucks sometimes.
it’s horrible in more ways that you would expect and what other solutions exist with intel wifi hardware in ap mode on linux?
i wasn’t aware that you could use ndiswrapper on an access point; i’ll look into it.
UPDATE: googles says that you can’t do this because ndiswrapper uses windows drivers that don’t support ap mode.
intel won’t allow its linux drivers to work above wifi 4 speeds in ap mode, so i created a kvm virtual windows machine with pci pass through on the wifi nic plus ip masquerade and now i’m getting wifi 6 speeds in ap mode.
i think you just described the majority of the republican and democratic parties
