Won’t happen under capitalism. Which is just another reason capitalism needs to go.

flash drive is probably formatted FAT32 and that file is too big for that format. reformat the flash drive to exfat.

Tiling is handy for lots of things, especially combined with workspaces. People just like showing off terminals in their flex screenshots

My personal negative vibe toward Manjaro comes from my own experience with updates breaking things when I was running it

I run PopOS on my IdeaPad Flex, which is one of those flip all the way around type laptop tablet hybrids, and it handles tablet stuff pretty well with the touchscreen, on screen keyboard, and stylus input.

Women tend to use emojis more, so redditors and by extension lemmitors hate emojis

Simply put the desktop in the room you wish to game in

Desktop replacement gaming laptops are a mistake. You can buy a normal laptop and the parts to build a gaming desktop for the same price and the laptop will be much more practical to carry around while the desktop will perform better and last longer.

I remembered having this problem and found the page that helped me: https://superuser.com/questions/1151161/enable-touch-scrolling-in-firefox

I use Xournal++ it’s not perfect but it does what I need it to as a stylus note app.

The situation with Windows and DOS is as if ChromeOS took over so decisively that Linux became nothing more than a historical curiosity.

No it’s worse. Tying the OS and GUI together to the extent they are in modern post-95 Windows is a major cause of the learned helplessness OP is talking about

Specifically from the introduction of Windows 95 tying Windows and MS-DOS together. While Windows was an application running on DOS Microsoft tried various schemes to break compatibility when it was run on other competing DOSes, and Windows 95 was the final stroke of that strategy by tying the GUI inextricably into the OS.

All a consequence of Microsoft monopolistically tying windows to the OS to push out other competing DOSes

This just in: billionaire pedophile eugenics guy lies

The idea that Bill Gates left money on the table for others with Microsoft isn’t just wrong, it’s so exactly the opposite of reality that it boggles the mind. Did he leave money on the table for other DOSes with windows 95? For other office suites with MSOffice? For Netscape with bundled IE?

Where did you get such a comprehensively false idea from?

That’s just a lie you are a liar

Edit: or a credulous fool

Think like Bill Gates: use monopoly power to drive all your competitors out of business then write your own antitrust settlement where you pinkie swear to be a good boy for five whole years.

literally everything was shittier in olden times

1 horsepower is supposed to be the rate a shitty old timey horse can work over the course of a whole day. Also it was created as a way to market steam engines to replace horses as a source of mechanical power so there was an incentive to lowball the horse.
