I used to be one of those fanboys when I was younger, but that was driven more by the fact that they weren’t iPhones than anything particularly good about Android
Used to be a fan of OnePlus but they’ve become like every other phone company now from what I hear
Weird, I’ve been using hyprland on multi monitor for a while
Only issue I’ve ever noticed is that some games will insist on running on my second monitor for some reason and will stay locked at at 1080p when moved to the higher res one
Gaming was absolutely the only reason I didn’t switch permanently
Switched all my machines over to Linux within a month or so of getting my steam deck and see no reason to go back
Can’t imagine I’m the only one who was waiting for this, though that said I am fairly technical, I don’t think most non technical people will see enough of a reason to switch
Nvidia has caused me much suffering in both of my machines, only recently fixed hibernation killing the DE, latest driver version at the moment for many GPUs causes horrible stuttering in games
Most web games absolutely suck, think webgl isn’t working
This is all on wayland though because I’m hopelessly addicted to hyprland
A Buddhist was saying to me that anything bad that happens to someone is deserved because they must have had bad karma as a result of having done something bad, either in this life or a previous incarnation. I don’t believe in any of this personally, but I think it would be helpful to understand the idea of karma a bit better,...
I’m having the hardest tine setting up a shared folder between a Linux host and Win11guest. I want to get rid of dual boot, but there are a few programs that I use which are Win only. I have set up a VB VM, but I want a fine tuned KVM VM. On VB sharing is trivial, but I can’t get it to work in KVM. I have the host sharing...

All well and good but at the higher end they’re writing applications in JavaScript and electron and using many times more system resources than C or rust, and it will always be cheaper for them to develop in higher level languages (especially when the performance problem can be offloaded on the user’s machine instead of their own servers)
It’s cheaper for companies to have their developers spend less time developing in higher level languages and just throw more hardware at the problem than spend more money developing in a more difficult language
They aren’t concerned with energy or material efficiency, only financial

In Buddhist view: If all misfortune/suffering is deserved due to bad karma of past actions in a prior life, why advocate ahimsa/nonviolence?

Other than AI, what technology are you excited about?
For me it’s quantum computing - especially considering its impact on most current encryption methods
