What Linux Distro offers the most vanilla gnome experience? I looked at Zorin but that modifies Gnome quite a bit. Thoughts?
>>107616547Just use Arch with the gnome/gnome-extra packages.
>>107616547gnome os
>>107616547fedora
>>107616650I've looked at Fedora and it looks like Gnome without any modifications, or am i wrong?

>>107616153You need a google account to download apps from google servers. You are not required to download them from google. And if you don't you don't need a google account.00s flip phones didn't have app stores so it doesn't even apply.If you don't want any google apps preinstalled just install an alternative android distro like GrapheneOS.
>>107616520>You need a google account to download apps from google servers.No you don't, Aurora>You are not required to download them from google. And if you don't you don't need a google account.Correct>If you don't want any google apps preinstalled just install an alternative android distro like GrapheneOS.LineageOS or even just ADBdebloating are enough for most users, no need for an OS that can only be installed on Google's hardware
>>107616548>You need a google account to download apps from google servers.>No you don't, AuroraWith aurora you are still logging into a google account. They are throwaway google accounts created by aurora (which get banned constantly because they break ToS) but that doesn't change the fact you are still logging into a google account to download apps from google servers.
>>107616279>>107616413>>107616424You can still use an iPhone without signing in and can even remove apps. Do you REALLY need that banking app? Why not just use the web browser?
What was the greatest graphics card ever? I'm thinking it was the 9800gtx. Having this in '08 was like unlocking every game in existence.
Imo 3dfx voodoo then 8800gt, then its just upgrades till today. Even 5090 is still shit that cant make native 4k resolution with good fps. Maybe the 70 series will have a boost with new cores, and will be true generation jump.
>>107598030Its obvious. The GTX 1060 ti. Was the perfect card for the longest. Paired with the am4 platform you had something that lasted forever. All until the new, god tier just crazy how little praise it gets. the RTX 3060 TI 12gb. Incredibly great value 200$ 12gb vram for ai and a few Google chrome tabs. It doesn't jam or even fucking overheat. I kneel!
>>1075980301080 Ti
>>107612180Anon, all GPUs had DACs. They were just internal.
>>107598094>look up that one Youtube vid of a guy's reaction to getting a 1080 again for my own curiosity> hitting not quite 120fps in Overwatch was mind-blowing in 2016man, it was a simpler time...
1 million downloads? Is Zorin OS 18 really that popular

>>107616209SA for standard boardsDES for split boards
>>107616209mt3
>>107616209MT3. Uniform profiles like KAM or DSA are good too.
>>107616209DCS in terms of aesthetics. DSS in terms of feel (lower profile SA basically). Too bad DSS is kinda ugly as hell.
I don't get why it's still so popular.
>>107613691This but XFCE is a classic with some history.
>>107616310you actually use windows and are just saying that sarcastically
>>107612603It runs easily on any computer I've ever run it on and it doesn't have bloated bullshit animations/transparency/other garbage that people seem to have decided are necessary now (protip: this only slows down the PC).I will ask a different question. What do you NEED (to be able to control the computer from your UI not jerk off to window minimize animations & file previews) that XFCE doesn't provide?
>>107616459I doubt anyone who "actually uses Windows" has no idea about Openbox, much less that it's been FEATURE COMPLETE and BUG FREE for over 15 years.
>>107616638>no*any
>Hmm, what if I took technology that wa already in widespread usage, and made the same thing except you HAVE to give me your personal data to use it!people deserve to be enslaved because they want to be enslaved
>>107614789I do wonder what Skype would have looked like if it wasn't whored out to microshit
>>107615992yes, ofc, but not all room history is saved by default (most don't even have a backlog) and you can choose how much metadata you want the other users in the room to see >>107616011i meant it figuratively (obviously), the average user isn't gonna setup some shitty python3 server with 100 pages of setup to read meanwhile on XMPP prosody takes five minutes to install and uses little to no resources
>>107613889Just do the same thing in reverse. Take their product and make a better one that doesn't have those problems. It will slowly kill them and make the world better for yourself and your friends.
>>107615992>sends metadata to every server involvedbut you can clearly see the domainshello, do you have brain damage?
>>107615887I had to use rocketchat for work, it was trash. Upload an image with your message and now you have to edit your text in a single line textbox that clips after 40 chars or so. Tried deleting messages once and it just said success but the messages stayed. That's just off the top of my head. All the stuff I listed is my reasons for using discord over other apps (besides the networking problem - I only talk to friends on discord because all my family prefers whatsapp), they're all the boxes I want ticked if I was ever enticed to try a new app because they're all important to my ux. Sending files larger than a couple of megabytes or using wildcard emojis are not my requirements for a chat app, nor do I give a shit about roles and colors. I just use it to talk to my friends with decent media support and multi device userfriendliness.

>>107615616That’s not about aliens
>>107615849No, it's going to take me a while to get to that. I'm trying to "perfect" that little bit during this phase, and the writing I've already done (which is a breddy gud amount) hasn't gotten to aliens, but it /has/ gotten to inter-dimensional beings.I also had to redo my RSS feed because things have changed since back when I had one many years ago. Back then they had .rss extension, but now they have .xml. I didn't know until I used the W3C validator to check and make sure I was compliant.

I work at a hospital there are so many items that cost like 15k that do most simplest tasks. For example this pill counter which uses computer vision of some sort to count pills costs literally 2k to 10k.Can any anons tell me how they're getting away with such outsourcing price gouging
>>107616388Absolutely fucking based.Starve the beast, let the sub-poverty wagies flood out into the streets begging for enough gibs to feed their family.Give them not one single chicken tendie.
>>107616147Are you seriously asking why wouldn't a company want to replace a full employee's salary with a few machines? They could even replace several employees at a profit.Ofc, job's become increasingly unreplaceable as risk/liability and skill barrier go up.

>>107616147The entire medical industry is just everyone getting scammed.>insurance companies scamming patients>doctors/hospitals scamming insurance companies>medical equipment companies scamming doctors/hospitalsEverything is overpriced to justify the high salaries that people expect in these fields.
>>107616527Why people still have insurance is beyond me.

>User base almost entirely consists of people who don't want Chrome style AI shit>Add AI shitWhat the fuck is Firefox's new retard CEO thinking?
>>107610427pretty sure the tech savvy just jump ship if they prevent as blockers.firefox is only 5% of the browser market, why would they risk losing that
>>107613684If Firefox were to ever ditch the manifest v2 adblockers (ie, uBlock Origin, the real one), then its forks would need to do what Brave is currently doing and protect the mv2 code even though Chromium has gotten rid of it. That's a huge job that I don't think many (if any of them) are capable of doing, but I guess we will see.If Mozilla decides to kill ad blockers then ad blocking becomes much harder to come by.
