They effectively do the same thing. Check for something and abort current operation if a condition is not met. Whenever that is done via aborting the process, killing thread, unwinding stack or whatever else is configurable doesn't really change the point of that function.

Some of the more recent IPS displays I've gotten have somehow made the glow much less noticeable. It's still there, but not as obvious as the distractingly uneven glow I got on a display from around 2015.

>>107656028
Love OLED, but if your usecase is mostly reading/writing, IPS is probs still the best choice.

>>107657577
What is IPS glow? I'm looking for a new monitor and I'm leaning toward IPS.

I use notepad2

After re-installing and re-doing every single little fix needed to make this thing usable I noticed I lost several hours of my life. Probably more than a full day if put together all the times I had to do this over the last 2 years.

So what is the best solution to create a full disk image of my machine as it is now so I can just restore that next time?

macrium reflect or clonezilla

>>107658277
Yes. Assuming the mac works with the way windows shares the printer, I don't really know how the windows print server works.

I'm going through a junk laptop I found. The main I found it was mostly used in 2005 and some times in 2010 before being dumped where I found it on sale.

I've been looking through the files and logs seeing that it has only been used for the internet explorer and email. The logs for internet explorer are completely wiped, but the cookies still remain where it seems to be part of some advertising network. Everything that wasn't email or some sort of advertising was wiped. But there are some broken folders. Shockingly there is absolutely no data for 2011 when I found logs saying it had been used by that point.

The weirder thing is most things on the surface are wiped outside a photo of a family and a document for plane tickets for the original user and some girl. I searched up the names on the plane tickets and found a girl, who must have been the daughter in the photo, now being employed at a child abuse prevention organization.

Trying to restore any files with Linux isn't doing much at all. System restore is broken as well, even though there are many things listed as restore points. But my question is what the fuck was the original user doing to intensively nuke their folders, and everything past 2010, while keeping some random ass shit intact?

I used to have a similar issue. I solved it by finding the two pins that you must short in order to turn the mobo on. In other words, try bypassing the power switch to see what happens.

have you tried to personalize win11 maybe look into that and try linux as you have material to process more suited for linux

You can install gentoo in one afternoon if you can read, you'll learn to use all you need if you can read, pick any of the big ones.
Only fucky things are windows' anemic EFI partition if you want to dualboot on a single disk and remembering that you cannot use an NTFS partition to install things into if you're using Proton.

>Should I change to Linux?
It depends. If you're a lifelong Windows user, it's going to take some getting used to, and you're going to notice the difference. Not every program is going to just run after clicking on the .exe like it does on windows. If you use specific professional software like Photoshop or AutoCAD or FL studio, be aware that these don't run natively on linux and it takes some tinkering and workarounds to get them to work. It's not impossible to run these, but it's one a one click install sort of thing either.
If you don't use those specific programs, Linux is basically just as easy if not easier than Windows by this point. Gaming is just a matter of installing Steam and launching your games through the Proton launcher.

>>107658343
Start with the mainstream ones like Ubuntu or Fedora. Use Ubuntu for the widest range of support or Fedora for the most updates. Use the KDE desktop environment if you want something that's like Windows 7 or the Xfce desktop environment if you want something like Windows XP. Once you know what you like or dislike about Ubuntu or Fedora you can then search for more specialized distros that fix the stuff you dislike. Also explore customization options and once you get really comfortable with Linux you can try Arch if that's your thing.

Then just do it? systemd not being there shouldn't have any effect on your daily use. Also, Artix has many different install options, many of them use the Calamares installer and even pre-install some stuff for you, so ironically it's more noob friendly than regular Arch kek.

It's to create artificial work for programmers and managers that would otherwise be fired since new operating system versions generally don't require complete rewrites.

Windows 8 was a downgrade, Windows 10 was terrible, Windows 11 is a massive fucking turd.
If they actually start creating proper Rust tooling for Windows, we might actually start seeing fast applications that are light on RAM use. This is a real chance for things to improve.

It's clear that the Jeets in charge of MS code now can't deal with 30 year old legact C++ shit and it's not even their fault. It's C++, if you weren't there when it was written, you have no idea what insane invariants the code implicitly has.

I hope the next Windows is so bad that it breaks Microjeet.

everyone uses the core 10% and another 1% that's specific to their use case. those 1%s add up. and you use office because your particular problem WILL be covered and there won't be some faggot clown telling you "use case? code it yourself so we can reject the PR"

I think its unlikely that zero arm laptops will let you install linux on it. At the very least framework and system76 laptops should. And Fedora and Ubuntu already have arm64 isos.

Ok anon
I maintain my original assertion. Most LCD panels don't get image retention.

Mini-LED is a meme name for dimmable backlight zones designed to confuse people.
Where the fuck is Micro-LED?

I currently have had a PG32UQX for 4 years now. I feel like nothing comes close to really. I don't want an OLED. Sure I usually only use it at 5-30 brightness depending on the time of day. But the option of the 1400nits is really nice when I want it. Is there anything that is already out or coming soon that could "dethrone" it?

The tide is turning. Microsoft just announced they are going to turn their OS into AI slop in order to rewrite everything.
Valve is about to entrench Linux as a solid choice for gaming with their upcoming Steam machine.

ARM, Android, and even simple hobbyist Linux devices like the raspberry pi have been chipping away at Windows + x86 dominance for many years now. Many people who don't currently use Linux are familiar with it enough now and could tolerate using it if they had to.

Valve is going to usher in the next era. Laptops and even custom desktop PCs will be built without x86. Apple is promoting the processor transition right now. Consumers want efficient, low power, low heat processors that don't drain battery life. Have you used a new MacBook lately?

Windows only games will be made for a little longer but Linux compatibility through Wine will be made increasingly official and reliable. Finally, the end result is going to be a Unix future. Tech illiterates will own a Mac. Serious PC gamers will run Linux. This future will be made possible by Valve and Apple enabling consumers to walk away from Microsoft without turning back.
