Every release version is stable. That’s bog standard in software development. For the kernel, unstable versions are not release versions, they are release candidates.

And they do just have an incremented number, as described in the article. Within each branch, for each release, they just increment the release number (which most people, and semver, call patch). Linux is pretty close to semver post-2.6, but I don’t think they limit releases within a minor branch to just bug fixes.

It sounds just the same as every other branched development model.

I hope this is a nail in the coffin for xml. It’s just so unpleasant to work with, even through great libraries.

Yeah, all the stuff I see at work runs over Ethernet or USB. Old stuff is serial, maybe the really old stuff uses these buses, but I’d probably have to hunt down the darkest, dustiest corners to find one of those.

I did recently see a big old washing machine hard drive and tape machine being disposed of a few weeks ago. Those were pieces of history.

initramfs is a compressed filesystem, not an execution context. But it must be possible to print text even before initramfs loads, e.g. to display an error if it fails.

How else are you going to display anything at boot time?

Does anything change if you change refresh rates or display scaling? Or change between X11 and Wayland?

the KDE Plasma desktop at 38.36%, nearly doubling the share of GNOME, which sits at 19.84%

Then xfce at ~11% and cinnamon, mate, etc. to round it out.

The slow monitor is plugged into the graphics card, not the motherboard, right?

It’s got most stuff on it. They’d include the entire repo if they could, but a dvd only fits 8gb.

That’s a Dell dock, isn’t it? Dell PCs use the same system.

Mount points instead of drives

I mean, if you’ve got spares, load one up and find out.

Okay then you don’t want to organize them, you want an interface. Chuck all the pictures in a folder, and use something like darktable to review and edit them, you can search by tag, filter by metadata, all that fun stuff.

Organize how, exactly?

Solution to what, exactly? Like the other people in this post, I also use KDE on Debian and Nvidia with zero issue.

No. This tunnels all traffic for specific processes.

Water is not a wetting agent. A wetting agent is something added to water to disrupt its surface tension and help it spread across or penetrate a material.

What makes you think any of us are paying for it?

Honestly it’s probably tomcat as bundled with whatever piece of junk corporate software the good idea fairy sold them this time.
