So mostly good Vorin men and some women a little below average?

I think it’s Rinoa from FF8 which released earlier in 1999.

I recently got a think pad from the prior generation, so like 2-3 years old. It’s been good for most things, but I’m not trying to play the latest graphics heavy game on it either.

This is multiple articles mushed together. I suggest separating into articles that each have a specific purpose and message. The windows/Microsoft discussion can be on, the intro to Linux another (the burger shop stuff), the distros another, and lastly the installation stuff.

That said, having switched to Linux about a year ago for exactly the reasons you mentioned, I would not have found this article useful. There are many other resources that cover each of these topics in more helpful and friendly ways. This article is both too broad and lacking depth where needed. It sounds a little bit like your personal journal and a narrative of your path. It may be helpful for you personally to write that down, but I’m struggling to see how this helps a potential reader.

Some questions to consider:

What do think a reader would do next after reading your article?

What value or message would they take away from it?

Who is your audience and what new knowledge should they have after reading this?

Any replacements? I’m looking for a traditional launcher that let’s me put apps and widgets on screens, let’s me choose the grid size, and which let’s me set a search bar that is not chrome.

The minamalist ones or the ones with everything in a list aren’t what I need.

Absolutely, there’s no way I’m leaving the 3 buttons by choice. The navy gestures conflict with too many other actions.

I’m on a pixel 9 now and still have problems, it’s inherent to Android. They are less on this phone, but the 3 buttons are longer part of Google vision for how to use our phones. They are going the Apple direction.

I had this problem on a pixel 6 and was advised by Google support to switch to a 3rd party launcher.

Ahh, they are hard to find on mobile in vertical. The filtering section is scrollable, but it’s not obvious that that frame can scroll independently of the entire page, so didn’t see them the first time.

Needs filters for HDR, ports, refresh (rate and variability compatability), and size.

We’re currently in the information age, which is due to silicon. In a few hundred years, this time may reasonably be called the silicon age. Society has only recently transferred to the silicon age from the previous iron age. If we don’t cause a total collapse of our society, then we will be in the silicon age for a few hundred more years, and that will likely include space colonization.

The space age you’re referring to is likely the 60s, when space exploration was beginning. A decade or two isn’t long enough to be considered an age.

That’s why we name our ages after the materials within. Material science is the foundation for almost all other physical sciences.

Thanks, that’s good progress from the last update that I saw. Makes me hopeful that I can make the switch soon.

How much work is typically required? What kinds of tasks are needed?

I’m done with windows as soon as Linux can support HDR.

It might be quick to get to a windows log in screen, but it still takes a long time to get back to a usable state, not to mention the state that you actually want it in (programs and files open, etc).

Having standby or hibernation was really great for this. Being able to put a laptop into a bag for 24 hours and then getting back to exactly where you left it was a very nice feature.

Doesn’t yelp let businesses erase poor reviews for a fee? Is the only difference here that yelp isn’t getting paid?
