SQM? https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm

Thanks, that sounds like the exact problem that I’ve been having with my openwrt setup

I’m not sure they need to make money with this. They keep blowing all the money they have on silly things, instead of focusing on making their core stuff better.

I hate using the mouse/touchpad for anything. I use spectrewm, and qutebrowser, so that I can use control/super/alt + hjkl for almost everything

I don’t pirate music, I buy it from Bandcamp. Then I download the files to my storage server and sync it to my phone, or play it with MPD.

I wish I could do the same with movies and TV shows…

Unfortunately yeah, these things still happen with Linux. I love linux, and I don’t use Windows, but all the “Linux never does anything wrong”, or “works on my machine, it must be a skill issue” people don’t realize how much that prevents people from moving over.

Linux is a looooooot better than it used to be, but pretending that problems don’t exist, is how Linux, and the culture surrounding it, got such a bad reputaion for such a long time.

Oof, no. Super no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco#Controversies

I don’t think they were “surprised” by it. It seems like they thought it was a search result. Which is fair, IMO. If DDG didn’t want people to mistake that for a search result, then they shouldn’t put it in the spot where the search results go.

I still don’t think I understand the point you are trying to make.

I feel like I’m not really understanding the question, but here ya go: The people who are willing to pay for it.

The “hype” is just marketing

I ran Debian on one of the surface pros a few years ago. It took a bit of hardware hacking, but it was great.

I use a TWM and spend most of my time in the shell, so I didn’t get to utilize a lot of the OS features. But things like reading comics, and surfing the web were pretty cool.

I always wondered if Gnome would be a better interface for it. It seems like they’ve been leaning that direction for a while.

Thinkpads are awesome. They aren’t as good as they used to be, but they still work great for linux.

Why mint?

I use mint as my “TV room” OS. It’s worked pretty well so far.
