Both can be had with keepaassxc browser addons and the right settings. Denying that is just bs.

Tried Manjaro and Opensuse for a presentation machine lately: issues over issues, that just shouldn't exist on new installation (problems with USB disks, input). Came back to Debian asap because Debian, weirdly, "just works (tm) now.

Actually, if Linux/BSD/... doesn't work the way I want it to, I can always tweak it. Win or Mac? Tough luck. So Linux's usability is always there, whereas the proprietary OS's quickly hits a very hard, annoying wall.

Soo, booting your computer from someone else's computer?

I mean we've had thin clients and PXE for ages?

DDG has also gotten much worse since the introduction of AI features.

It used to be somewhat better: Corel Linux and Creative apps existed...

 

Does the Nextcloud SyncClient (Android) work on any ereader? I'd love to use it to snc my books and notes, but the blueish interface does not display at all on my monochrome eink tablet. Does anyone use Nextcloud successfully on a b/w device?

Thank you for the info! Otherwise I would have missed the deal. The affinity suite is the best thing since Photoshop 5.0

I'm still consulting my venerable encyclopaedia britannica dvd until this day. It works great under wine and actually does not work under a current version of windows anymore.

I had the Mandrake Powerpack that came with two books. I basically memorized the entire console handbook while on the loo...

I am dependent on a couple of programs I run via wine - and wine still isn't directly compatible with wayland and buggy with xwayland...

 

An old grudge: i actually love KDE Plasma, but rely on a plethora of remote Samba shares for work.

Gnome/gvfs makes it so easy to integrate them in the file picker/nautilus and performance is great. On KDE kio (or whatever that is called now) always caches a copy first, which takes forever and prevents many applications from writing to the files correctly.

I'd love to be using KDE again. Is there anything I can do to get better/faster/more reliable samba access?
