      Daylight Saving Time

      By Corrine · Posted

      I wish we would just move to a "half-time" compromise.  In March, instead of turning the clocks ahead one hour, turn them ahead 1/2 hour and don't change again.

      Daylight Saving Time

      Nah, Australia leads the way. We started daylight saving 3 weeks ago. Most of our states at least, a couple of states don't implement it, mainly the more redneck ones. 😏

      Yet Another Desktop Linux Rant

      By raymac46 · Posted

      I also began with Ubuntu. I had an old Dell desktop that I was loath to buy Windows XP for (it was running Windows Me.) A guy at a local computer shop gave me a copy of Ubuntu Dapper Drake. Wifi with WPA was terrible. It took me weeks to get it working, and only with one brand of wifi adapter (Atheros.) But at least someone took the time to suggest a distro. Shortly after that I became a member of this forum, and any technical concerns I had vanished.

      Yet Another Desktop Linux Rant

      By raymac46 · Posted

      I certainly agree with HJ's comment that not having Linux pre-installed is a major barrier to adoption. That still leaves a major segment of the population who have Windows 10 and older hardware that will be obsolete in the next year. From what I can see, those folks are not trying to install Linux - just junking the old perfectly good machines to buy a new Win 11 or Mac. I got a fabulous i5 Broadwell machine that way. I could never see the previous owner of that machine installing Linux without some hand-holding. He couldn't even get a printer working without some help.

      Yet Another Desktop Linux Rant

      By securitybreach · Posted

      Most people's internet habits are completely browser based anyway. Unless you use a specific piece of software for work, you can do everything on linux without a terminal that you can do on windows, literally. Steam's proton has been around since 2017 so gaming is no longer a problem on linux if you use Steam. I have a large Steam library that is all playable perfectly under linux, usually better than under windows (due to the overhead).
