I never hated my job. Sure, there were times where I wasn’t that motivated and I probably a few days, where I didn’t like to go to the office. But ai never hated it during the nearly 20 years I worked in this field. It is not ok to hate your job and most people don’t. Hate is a very strong feeling.

Yes and no. It’s still more a theoretical choice.

If you buy a new computer, you have basically the choice between MacOS and Windows. And if they do not want a Mac or are not able to afford it, the only only Windows.

Sure, you can buy computers with pre-installed Linux, but it’s hard to find.

Now, with Hardware not supporting Windows 11 anymore, more people switch to Linux, but it’s still a small amount. And many people do not know how to install linux. It’s relativ easy these days on older hardware, but if one buys a brand new computer, there are often still problems with hardware that is not yet supported out of the box in Linux.

I think, consumers should have the right of choice for an OS at the moment they buy a computer. There should be the option to have Windows, a Linux distribution or no OS installed.

lol.

Thx.

Sounds like the setup can be quite complicated. ;)

I might need to dive into that topic.

Sure, it always does.

I’m fine choosing the best fitting distro from all these points mentioned in the post you linked.

Unfortunately the post does not cover the only question I have: Is there a distro with specially good multi Keyboard layout support.

For most people - including myself - this is never an issue, because they use only one layout. But especially people from countries with non latin alphabets really need this.

He may have a limited ability to understand what she needs from her os as a dual language user, and as a non technical user she may not either in a way that’s helpful to him in trying to understand the options and setup process in front of him. A less technical user may not be able to communicate how or why something isn’t working the way they need, and he has no context or experience from which to infer.

Yes, that’s exactly it. I can technically set it it up somehow. But I have no feeling for how the layout switch should work well.

My wife on the other hand had problems to pinpoint what exactly make it feel unnatural when switching the layout. But as I figured out thx to another comment, many Korean keeboards have a dedicated key to switch the layout.

My wife is a typer on the keyboard. And it might happen that she needs to switch the layout multiple times within a minute. Therefore this is something that should work without issues.

No, thx.

You’re right! I just checked and it was a dedicated key to switch the layout. That makes it easier!

I think one thing that bothered my wife when she used my notebook was the keyboard shortcut to switch the language.

Thanks! I’ll check out the videos.

True! Most stable system I ever used.

The author of the app says, his app does not contain any bible texts. Only chapters.

I agree, many parts of the bible are not safe for work.

Downvote me for it, but I I think it should not be flagged. The bible is simply not covered by F-Droids NSFW definition.

Thanks for clarifying! You are right, I thought they sold complete systems with just Steam OS, like the Steam Deck, but as a console. Seems like I was wrong around it.

Just to make sure: I’m aware one can also use the desktop mode on SteamOS, but it’s not really necessary.

Yeah, I know that this is just a computer. From a skill point of view I have no problem to assemble it and set it up. The thing is I work in IT and spend the whole day on the computer. I do not want to administrate any system in my free time. That’s something I love about consoles. I’m aware they limit the possibilties, but they also low maintenance. I never actively installed system updates on my Xbox Series X, it is just done in the background. I turn it on and play. In worst case I need to install a game update. I have a store interface where I can buy and install games with pressing a few buttons. Inside the game, I do not need to play around with the graphic settings to find what runs best. If at all, I need to decide between graphics and performance mode. That’s what I love about consoles and do not want to have a gaming PC.

Consoles have obvious limitations, but they make it much easier if all you want to do is play.

Yeah, but what I love about consoles is the nearly zero maintenance. Updates are installed completly in the background. I work the whole day on IT stuff. I do not want to administrate any system in my free time.

And I like to play some more graphic intensiv games, not only retro stuff.

From this points of view Xbox and Playstation are great. I’m just getting less and less happy with the business model behind it. I’m totally fine with paying for stuff. But I never liked the subscription and the higher the monthly prices get the less attractive it is for me.

I agree. But if you are on a console and want to play online, you already need a subscription.

I want a subscription free Console that supports online play.

I just bought 12 month of Ultimate on eBay. I always did this in the past, because it’s cheaper than buying directly from Microsoft. So far, I made good experience with it.

The way it usually works is, that you get a few codes you need to redeem. I got three codes for 36 month of EA Play and then one code for Ultimate that is supposed to transform the EA Play subscription to 12 month Ultimate. But due to the the price hike, the subscription transformation changed as well and I did not get the 12 month.

I’m now in contact with the seller and he tries to find a solution. I want to have my 12 month Ultimate that he offered for the price. But it also sucks for the seller. Seems like we both didn’t know. He basically sold it to cheap. I paid 150€ for 12 month Ultimate and he just now increased the price to 200€.

The new prices are insane! 150€ a year is already my upper limit. I’m not gonna pay 200€ or even more a year. I think, if my new subscription is over, I will not extend it. I like the idea of Game Pass, but that’s to much money.

The thing is I really like Game Consoles. I want to play in front of my TV. I wish, Steam would make another Steam Machine with Steam OS. I do want an all in one solution. The last thing I want is a gaming PC. I hope, alternatives to Xbox Consoles and Playstation come up.

I know, I could also use the XBox without GamePass, but I do play online something and it would be nice to get away from subscriptions completly.

I’m looking for a NAS and Synology was on the top of my list. But their new models only support Synology HDDs. That is already a huge red flag. And now that. Feels like Synology really doesn’t care about their customers…

I might go with a self build solution.

Telegram: Someone threatened to kill me and my family if I don’t transfer them my username. Some people are so sick.

Are you my brother?

No discussion, it is super shitty that someone stole the money.

But the real scandal is, that anybody needs to raise money, to get a cancer treatment.
