#3 Re: Documentation » HOW TO: Install XLibre on Devuan » 2025-08-31 16:49:18
Are we sure that XLibre dev won't give it up ?
Yes. XLibre developer won't give it up and they will maintain the Xorg fork for as much long as possible
Do you use it ?
Yes, i use XLibre with i3 or some lightweight window manager as a daily driver. Works better than Wayland compositor
Better, equal with X11 ?
Better than non-XLibre Xorg

#5 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2025-08-31 12:09:57
I wouldn't buy this laptop if it has:
"soldered ram onto motherboard"
"soldered disk drive onto motherboard aka eMMC"
"weak ass laptop hinge"
"shitty fragile plastic"
"fewer ports than older model"
"ridiclously expensive price"
"crappy celeron cpu that is slow"
If you want to upgrade or replace soldered ram, disk drive and others?, good luck with your soldering skills. It's pretty complex and it's VERY risky to do so.

Windows 11 is the most private operating system Microsoft ever made, with zero absolute spyware in it.
It just a joke thing.

GitHub even added nonsense AI feature called "Issue creating with Copilot", It's an public preview since 19 May
What's worse that it cannot be opt out and disabled, possibly leaving GitHub issues with nonsense unhelpful useless issues flooded in it.
This video made by Brodie Robertson showing AI sloppy nonsense features being added in GitHub
What about Microsoft pushing even far more AI sloppy features into GitHub.
