>>107690297People like to larp that they like/use it because its so minimal and the repos are anorexic. Its a psychological coping mechanism for an unfulfilling life that they feel that they can't control when you have so many moving parts in your life and society and can't control any of them its comforting to have a piece of software that by nature does exactly what you tell it to and is minimal and bare bones.
How well is the Thinkpad X13s supported? I'd like to try OpenBSD for everyday use but my desktop has an NVIDIA GPU and I don't think OpenBSD supports CUDA, Wine/Proton/Steam, etc.

I don't use Windows anymore so no I'm not mad.
Thirdies take pride in performing GUI user busywork, because in the real world moving a hundred bundles of sticks or building a wall out of bricks for hours equals real value. Thus their minds conflate "painstakingly navigating 30 different menu designs" or "spending an hour on a task with a cumbersome UI" with being productive, not realizing that a) the value is not in the busywork but in the end state of the bits and bytes they're manipulating and b) that such busywork can and should be eliminated by the software designers ie them.

I am currently in possession of a Dell Precision 5550 my school gave me and didn't ask for back; this happened 1.5-2 years ago so I forgot I even had it. I would like to use this as a personal laptop to replace my old desktop; however, the BIOS is locked, and it is running heavily restricted Windows, making it practically just a web browser.I have already read a fair bit about how this is difficult but all info regarding actually unlocking it doesn't work--any advice? Is there a reliable way to do this without having to do anything to the BIOS chips? I am fairly technical but currently do not have access to the required tools for soldering/chip flashing. I do not have a USB-C flashdrive, but since I can't even open BIOS boot order due to admin lock, I doubt it would work.Laptop model: Dell Precision 5550Bios Version: 1.22.0BIOS Mode: UEFICPU: i7-10750HGPU: Quadro T2000 (Max-Q Design)RAM: 32GiBShould this be unfeasible/too painful, I am thinking of buying a ThinkPad P53 as an alternative.I can provide more specifics if need be.
>>107684663Wait, Debian is signed to work with the default Microsoft keys that are preloaded? Seems to me you could have that boot until it's to something you have control of and then kexec something else if you really want to.

Seems to me you could have that boot until it's to something you have control of and then kexec something else if you really want to.Technically, yes, Debian's shim is signed with Microsoft's 3rd-party UEFI key, meaning it *can* boot under Secure Boot--but only if the firmware still has the Microsoft 3rd-party key "enrolled", which I doubt is the case here since this is specifically locked down.

>Only fucking GNOME supports real fractional scaling on a 4k screen>Is also one of the worst DEsWhat is this bullshit?
>>107690422>Anime background>Having an opinion taken seriously on anything
>>107690422It doesn't support _real_ fractional scaling. What it does is that it renders things at an integer scaling and then downscales the window as a texture, making it blurry as shit. It's implemented like this because gnome devs are also gtk devs so they are fucking retarded and didn't implement fractional scaling in gtk (intentionally). Qt supports fractional scaling properly, including on x11 (and all other operating systems/display servers that it can run on).

Fellow software engineers, what's your plan for the next 5-10 years?I wasn't worried until Sonnet & Opus 4.5 but it genuinely one shots everything I give it. We went from doing 30 story points (team of 4) to 60 per sprint after the release. The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.What do we do afterwards?

Will 2026 finally be the year of the RISC desktop?
>>107676454No. 2026 will be the year of not having RAM but no devs being willing to make their garbage apps use less RAM.
>>107689456They did the same thing with PPC -> standard Intel chips zoomzoom.
>>107689639The specific context here is not that it was done. But rather the performance. Rosetta is noted for its performance. This performance derives from hardware support. Microsoft cannot replicate Rosetta because of this.
>>107687500Qualcomm made something of the sort though it isn't as efficient. And even so, Rosetta itself is only so good. Code still runs considerably slower through it.
>>107689903It was always noted for its performance. Their 68k translation layer was so good they took 10 years to fully drop it. This is an area where Apple has demonstrated excellence since before your junkhead was born.
Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

>>107690185I'm beginning to think you actually believe this.
>>107681413>No, no it doesn't, you just haven't used it long enough or did enough with your PC to notice. Give it time friend, you'll be doing something important and it'll shit itself in confusion. You'll either go back to Windows or buy a Mac mini.I've used both Windows and Linux for about 15 years now, give or take. I can honestly say that my Windows 11 box (no, 10 LTSC is not an option for me) gives me more trouble than my Linux machines by orders of magnitude. In the Windows 7 years this would be a laughable thought, but Microsoft made it a reality, and we have no reason to believe that things will not get much, much worse with Windows 12+.Windows "just werks" if all you do is play Steam games, but I don't even need Windows for that anymore.
