KDE based in germany easy to use for beginners and highly configurable for those that want that ability. They have a fully integrated software sweet that has basically become the default for many distros even if they aren’t using plasma.
GNOME feels more like macOS.
KDE feels more like Windows.
kernel maintainers are pushing the fix burden onto PostgreSQL
Maybe it isn’t applicable in this context, but didn’t Linus Torvalds send an angry email on an adjacent topic, but regarding the same philosophy?
Found it: we do not break userspace
Disclaimer: I am a noob when it comes to Linux and building operating systems.
Well, technically, it’s not broken, just slower
That’s sad. :(
Should have got the Pentium.
Can, but it’s a highly sophisticated attack that hasn’t been reported in the wild, and known solutions exist. This is Ars Technica’s article that I suspect is higher-quality than TechSpot’s.
YSK also this
| Category | Ubuntu 26.04 LTS | Windows 11 | | — | — | — | | Processor (CPU) | Dual-core 2 GHz or faster processor | 1 GHz or faster, 2+ cores | | Memory (RAM) | 6 GB minimum | 4 GB minimum | | Storage | 25 GB free disk space | 64 GB or larger storage device | | Architecture | 64-bit only | 64-bit only | | Security Hardware | No TPM requirement | TPM 2.0 required |
That laughably understates the RAM required for Windows to be useful.
Biggest thing that I think is pretty badly phrased… is linux “system requirements”. considering in the windows world if you try and install with less than the required ram… the installer will usually stop you.
While in ubuntu they may say “requirement” but it’s a recomendation. You can install 26 into a VM with 1 GB of ram… and it will run. Really nothing in this version of ubuntu is more resource hungry than the previous version. So in short them boosting the number is just saying “if you use a typical amount of tabs open in your browser, 6gb ram is kind of needed”.
So yeah I’d say most likely the fair way to put it is, windows 11 will let you install on 4gb of ram… but most would say it’s very unusable even at a basic level with that, you can run ubuntu with that… it will probably not be a great experience, but not as bad as windows until you start running into large web apps or tons of tabs.
We all know about Debian, Fedora and Arch but what about the lesser known ones that are built from the ground up?
it was inpired and afaik at first based on it, but arch has threaded its own path ever since
Nah. A company looking to run FreeBSD user space software like pf on Linux.
I wouldn’t say bullshit
KDE connect is fairly obscure
Let’s get it to 6% on steam!
