I don’t see any drama. It’s just people working together, having different priorities yet still getting things done. Some friction is to be expected.

Would it be possible to use a “thin” Windows VM as “client” for One Drive? Meaning that the client would be responsible for synchronization of mounted directories which are actually used on the host machine.

We’ll go with bare-metal Linux—no Halium, no libhybris. We want to stay as close to mainline as possible and actively contribute upstream.

We’ll develop everything openly. Our policy is to publish code, collaborate with the community, and be transparent. Free software, for us, is a matter of principle—not just legal compliance.

IIRC that’s not accurate. You only need that “pro feature” if you want to be able to _apply activate kernel updates without rebooting. Unless you have that requirement and an armada of devices matching that profile you don’t need to pay anything.

You’re right. But I’d rather have limited Linux options than no option at all.

On the other side, if you don’t want to sell it, then gathering private data can theoretically be seen as theft, which in turn could protect your privacy. Generally, it would be nicer if ownership of such data would not be transferable.

Testing a normal Linux installation sounds like a good idea. In my opinion it’s better to transition to Linux than switch. That way you can go back to your previous system setup and see what you are missing or need without having to open your computer and swap hardware. If you can add the old or new SSD as an external drive and so that you can can boot then your plan might work out.

I just can’t be bothered to switch when my current distro worked just fine for me for the last 20 years. I have no time to experiment anymore, I just want to get things done.

So how did it work out for you? Did bcachefs manage to perform any miracles?

You can’t lose what you never had, though. ;-)

Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.

Actually, things seem to get better with age, just not as they seemed to be before:

Whereas happiness was once considered to follow a U-shape – with a relatively carefree youth, a tougher middle age and a more comfortable later life – the experts in wellbeing say our satisfaction now rises steadily with age instead.

How much is 216% in actual numbers?

You might have missed some points.

Prime Minister Mute Egede:

“Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions,” he said.

Trump earlier this week refused to rule out using military or economic force in order to bring Greenland under US control. Trump said last month that “ownership and control” of Greenland was an “absolute necessity” for the US, as it seeks to counter growing Russian and Chinese interest in the Arctic region.

Elderly people in my family use Ubuntu (LTS) for over a decade. In one particular case, all LTS updates are performed remotely, without issues.

I’m quite sure that limiting access to information and communication is supposed to reduce and prevent any form of organized protest. That’s why the Russian government is doing it in the first place.

Why do you think that helping the Russian government to enforce censorship is a good idea?

That’s no 20 meter wide display.

Calibre is a Java application and available as a flatpak package. Maybe check how they do it?

I suppose that modding may interfere with the warranty.
