I use copilot at work (not by choice) and I find it’s useful as a somewhat smarter autocompletion, plus I can offload some menial tasks to it, like turning an if else into a switch statement.

I think I’m sitting on her fourth message already.

See you later, virgins

I can’t speak as an artist as I ain’t one, but as someone who loves listening and discovering new music, Jamendo is great. There are many artists I listen daily that I only know because of it.

Wouldn’t that depend on the license you choose? If it doesn’t include the Non Commercial clause then there’s no reason to hunt anything. Plus from what I see it’s an opt in thing.

+1 for Jamendo and CC licenses

Great work!

I game on Linux (Arch, btw) and the only games that don’t work using wine/proton (so far) are those that require kernel level anti-cheat software. Everything else runs mostly flawlessly throgh Steam or Lutris.

Definitely ditch Nvidia. I bought an AMD one and it works with Linux without any hassle or tinkering.

Funny enough, I’m on Arch by choice. I was using it before but it makes sense as having the latest packages is good for gaming on it. Luckily I’ve just been upgraded to a FTTH connection so I’m good on that front.

I had to go back to Xorg though because Wayland was doing some weird shit.

I just did that. I have a dual boot laptop where Windows was used exclusively for games, and instead of upgrading that I built myself a PC with an AMD GPU (Nvidia, fuck you!).

So far I haven’t run into any problem that I couldn’t easily solve, and the only games that won’t run are those demanding I install an anti cheat system, but I’m fine not playing those.

What about it?

The items would just be kept on sale at hugely inflated prices

I’ll have to look for it because my laptop never went to sleep under Linux

Yes, you can run Linux in a VM.

But also: you should be able to access your Windows partition from Linux, as it supports NTFS and FAT filesystems, and view the files there.

What I do is I have one partition with Windows, one with Linux, and a third one (with an NTFS file system) for the files I need to access from both.

Windows licenses AFAIK are already rarely bought on their own. The vast majority of users get one by having it bundled to a new device they purchase.

I was thinking about the technical details and didn’t stop to consider the implications, nice answer.

Also unexpected lost in space reference.

I don’t know how much the windows installer lets you choose regarding partitions, but assuming you can and given my probably dated knowledge still applies:

You’ll have to install windows to it’s partition and then force a boot into Linux from the BIOS to reinstall grub, and then you’ll be able to choose your starting system.

It’s not what you’re looking for, but I think in this context Jamendo deserves a mention.

I found lots of great songs and artists there that I listen to daily.

I ordered the FP5 after using my OnePlus 3T for nearly 7 years, so I imagine it’ll be OK on that front, given I’m switching only due to issues with the USB port and power button.

YMMV but for regular users it should be fine.
