  • The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice

  • just happened, a few days ago I installed dual boot of EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva replacing Windows 7, on my potato mini PC. (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

  • Hardware support really sucks, as many hardware manufacturers only care about supporting M$ Windows.

    There's a way to force them to provide drivers for Linux, let's say the trade commission in any country forces all devices to have drivers for Linux.

  • My laptop did not go to sleep

    Some people have similar experiences regarding sleep issue, including system just went blank on wake up.

    From my experiences on Linux Mint in two different laptops, the sleep issue related to Linux system cache. By default, many Linuxes use these settings, vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background_ratio are about 5 to 20 percent of the available system memory. This is fine if your system has less than 4GB of memory installed, but if your system has 8GB or more of memory, this can cause problems later on.

    So I have this "can't wake up" issue on my two differents laptop, the first laptop has 8 GB of memory and the second laptop has 16 GB. And both laptops are running on Linux Mint.

    In search of a solution, I came across this conversation https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/25/39

    I also found some possible system cache related issues on various distros.

    So I tried what Linus suggested, and I use lower values than suggested. And it worked!, the "can't wake up" issue on both laptops just gone in instant!

  • Climate crisis threatens the banana, the world’s most popular fruit, research shows

    Jump

  • tbh, I never bothered to tell others about climate change and its consequences to our lives.

    Back then I told my relatives, and they just looked at me like "are you out of your mind?"

    I used this when I found out one of my coworkers was using my work laptop to play online games.

  • also M$ has done deliberately

    “Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don’t pay for the software. Someday they will, though,” Gates told an audience at the University of Washington. “And as long as they’re going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They’ll get sort of addicted, and then we’ll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.”

  • Ubuntu 25.04 & Fedora 42 Hit A Long Sought Milestone With HDR Support Working Well On The Linux Desktop

    Jump

  • oh great news!!

    I remember some people kept mocking Linux desktops for lack of HDR support, which was strange because they were also using Linux for application development purposes.

    You may want to consider fixing the system cache value.

    I use lower values than Linus suggested.

  • Devastating Multiday Flood Predicted for Mississippi Valley

    Jump

  • The threat of tornadoes, destructive winds, and damaging hail will peak from Wednesday afternoon, April 2, into early Thursday. Then comes the deluge — perhaps a foot or more of rain, adding up to what could be some of the heaviest three- or four-day totals ever recorded in what is normally a moist region notorious for flooding.

    the current outbreak is the third highest

    I also saw there is a possibility of winter storms coming this month
