Haha, guess so. Ah well, no harm done.
Could be they enforce the update process through policies, while annoying that is not a bad thing perse. On my Linux machine I can run an ancient kernel, leaky libraries and all kinds of vulnerable software and my employer would be none the wiser. Everybody is responsible for maintaining their own machine, no matter if they run Windows or Linux. That's the other side of the spectrum and pretty bad from a security perspective, in all honesty.
Your slowness could be caused by BitLocker being enabled on an SSD not supporting hardware encryption, causing Windows to do the encryption in software mode. That uses the CPU for encryption and can drastically reduce performance. Might be worth checking out, with those specs Windows really should not be slow.
- Doesn't leave you the choice: your getting updated now, deal with it
Interesting, my W11 allows me the choice between 'Shutdown' and 'Update and shutdown'. I've never had it force an update on me.
For the other points: are you still running Windows on spinning rust or something? I've never seen update take longer than a few minutes at most. And why are you waiting for Windows to do its thing? Choose 'Update and Shutdown' and go catch that train.
Guess I should have used /s.
It's, in my experience, the 'universities are liberal/woke indoctrination centres' folks are also the ones whom have issues with grasping the difference between evidence, facts and opinions.
Evidence is just a fancy word for opinion, right?
The problem is, I wouldn't know what to report and where. I've never been able to find any relevant logging, neither in /var/log nor in journalctl. I doubt opening an issue with 'desktop locks up randomly when using Wayland' is really useful without any logging. And where would I do that? At the Wayland bug tracker? Gnome or KDE? Kernel, as it indeed might be a driver issue? And there is of course the time component: I use my laptop for work, so I simply cannnot spend hours on debugging this. That's time I don't have, I'm afraid.
Fine, in that case both Gnome and KDE handle the Wayland protocol in a crappy manner on my hardware. As the end-user I don't care: I have no issues with KDE and Gnome on X11, when using the Wayland protocol they are unstable. For my use-case X11 is the better choice , as using the Wayland protocol comes with issues and does not provide any benefits over X11.
Maybe you shouldn't take your experience from 5 years ago and apply now. Wayland is solid and so is Btrfs.
My 2 year old AMD-based laptop begs to differ. X11 is rock-solid, whereas Wayland locks up completely on a regular basis, without producing any useful logging. Every so often I try it to see if things have gotten better, but until today unfortunately not. Personally I prefer X11, I need to perform work on my Linux machine, not spend time debugging a faulty compositor, protocol or wherever the problem lies.
also doesn’t hurt to have a thick skin too, because you’ll be both criticized and made fun of for your choices.
As somebody who started out with PHP I can fully relate to this. 😋
Anon pretty much sums up my experience with Java when I had to learn it in college 20-ish years ago. I'll never get rid of my distaste for the language I'm afraid.
In my Dutch social circle it is indeed, but don't ask me why. Personally I dislike Ibuprofen, it always makes me feel queasy and upsets my stomach.
Yeah, noticed him before. Evil-looking little thing, knowing CSS this wasn't unintentional.
The real question: GNU tar or not?
Ik ben eigenlijk wel benieuwd naar de straffen die de Israëlische supporters krijgen voor het vandalisme, oproepen tot vernietiging van een andere bevolkingsgroep en het geweld naar taxichauffeurs dat ze op woensdag en donderdag al tentoongespreid hebben. Maar dat zal onze regering wel weer stilletjes negeren, terwijl ze de betekenis van antisemitisme nog even verder uithollen.
Across all states, more people voted for him than for Harris.
I never said otherwise.
Unless you're arguing that electoral college votes should be redistributed in a way that ensures the winner will always be a Democrat...
No, I'm saying that your system needs to be fixed so every vote has the same weight, that's all. The fact that the term 'popular vote' exists at all is the flaw. Who won this year is irrelevant to the argument.
Why? Trump won fair (proverbial at least, I don't think all the misinformation that has been spewed on X counts as 'fair') and square this year, but that doesn't mean your system isn't flawed. Votes from certain states still carry less weight due to improperly distributed electors. Same happened with Gore vs Bush by the way.
I'm most certainly not. Oh look, time for The Two Minutes of Hate already. 📺
That's funny, I could have sworn it was Eurasia last year. I must be mistaken.
