Rebuilding the kernel in rust should fix this

Thats the best PART! people are always writing new things.

just use windows. it works right out of the box.

Apparently someone actually found a use for NFTs?

I used to get hardware accelerated video decoding on one version of chrome(ium) working few months back. Now I don't. Searched all forums, Reddit, documentation. Still at loss. I hope someone can help me..🥹

The longer something has stayed relevant. The longer it will stay relevant in the future as well. A loose principle which I think works pretty well whether it is morals, spirituality,values, wisdom, books, cinema, productivity tips or any computer program.

You can always just use win32 api

Im sure many of my more knowledgable friends may disagree but... we have a saying among teachers. In primary school we teach the kids, in high school we teach the subject matter, and I feel like a lot of tech is like that. I wanna USE the tech, not have to keep re-learning and assembling it

Better that then Microsoft's infuriating habit of moving settings to a new place and refusing to document that they've changed 😂

I've been learning Linux for over 20 years

Slackware helps. It still changes, but at a much slower pace, and ideas Volkerding deems bad don't even make it in. Slackware stable releases are supported for nine years, during which time they only receive updates for bugfixes and security vulnerability patches.

Keeps your brain flexible so you don't get Alzheimer's

Geez, gotta go check bsd socket man pages for changes.

lets bring back init!

“Clear speaking is generally obsolete thinking.”

This is why tools such as Webmin are such a godsend. You can just use the front-end without having to worry about the internals. Most of the changes are done for good reason even if it often doesn't feel like it. Certainly beats dragging old standards behind you forever more, holding you back.

This is how it feels learning web development.

Can’t say I relate with this when using Ubuntu.

As long as it keeps improving, I don't have an issue with learning new things. Windows constantly changes and never for the better

coming from vax unix, you guys are adorable.

Learning Linux isn't about memorizing commands as much as it's about learning *how* to learn new concepts and software. Plus, the ubiquitous stuff (tar, for example) isn't going anywhere, so straight-up memorization isn't invalid.

i cant believe they took usleep from us

Was eye opening coming back to it after fifteen years.

That's sorta part of how the community is trying to switch to more user-friendly tools. You can normally still use deprecated software just fine, though!

Have been trying to actually install it(ubuntu 24.04 LTs) on my Dell latitude 3490, and it's keeps saying installing and then it eventually booted into windows and I was like wtf 😑

It becomes very freeing when you realize that all software usage and development basically falls down to “the deprecated way” and “the way not yet ready for production.” I know folks still using RHEL 7.

Story of my life. Even after all these years.
