Thanks. For those who are interested you can download the source images at the bottom of the article. People have been questioning applications/services/daemons running in background for eac…

Comparable results though everything in FreeBSD is like a gig more for some reasons.

I've run this website for a over a decade and looks like donations are just not a thing. People happily click Google ads though so at least there's something. Something which garners around …

I guess they are similar to what IceWM shows.

IceWM takes less than 20MB of RAM - it represent Windows 98 quite well. Full featured DEs offer features far exceeding what Windows 98 had: applets, advanced window management, 24bit graphics (Windows…

I did _not_ just run `free` after boot, maybe you need to reread the methodology. As for RAM leaking - I cannot and I will not account for that: such a test could take weeks to carry out. In my experi…

Google image search has been broken for at least two years now - looks like Google does not give a damn. I remember it could find 5 to 20 times more pictures than before, you could actually trace imag…

I've used these settings with four different Intel iGPUs and a single AMD GPU, and I've not experienced "terrible latency and stutter". Your report is not widely shared on the Inte…

It's far from purely technical. Wayland destroys backward compatibility, destroys everything we knew about the graphics subsystem, offers to work with graphics in a different totally new way whic…

I haven't had screen tearing under X.org for more than a decade. Both under NVIDIA and Intel. A nice made-up issue but it's made up.

A design philosophy of not being able to run old software? A design philosophy of always having to update your system? A design philosophy of being unable to distribute compiled software for all Linux…

Nearly 99% of Linux software is linked to glibc. What the f are you talking about? This is not MSVCRT by a long shot.

I don't know man. I see a display manager (lxdm under Xorg) password prompt 3 seconds after the GRUB menu. And that includes quite a lot of stuff: systemd-analyze blame | wc -l 72

Haven't seen a single OpenSSL issue over the past 25 years of using Linux. libstdc++ errors? Seen them.

Web Archive has most of the revisions. There are changes but far and between. Overall issues get mostly added (for instance a large chunk of Wayland ones), sometimes I remove stuff when it gets resolv…

> Android is a Linux Android has 0 to do with Linux. No glibc, gcc, glib, no Xorg/Wayland, no most Linux services/daemons. The only thing that's common between them is the kernel. We…

The way Samba "integrates" with /etc/{passwd|groups} is horrible/asinine/and broken. It's a completely alien to Linux daemon.

> "30bit displays are unusable under Linux" Have you read the rest of the sentence? It lists current unresolved issues. Who the hell cares you can enable 30bit mode _only_ under X.org whe…

For MT performance and graphics Ryzen 5800U and 6800U are even better.

Yeah, in this mode the CPU will just work 10 times slower.

Nothing has surfaced for the past four years that all these vulnerabilities were revealed. Not a single piece of malware uses any of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_execut…
