Private Speech posted:Linux is great for productivity but as an advanced consumer desktop where you frequently install latest versions of software Windows has been way more stable (not to mention less hassle) for me centos 7 is still using kernel 3.10 from 2013 and prime switching/synchronization needs 4.5 and a newer version of x at minimum to work correctly. i think newer versions of gnome fixed some bugs with it too

Windows Phone 7 and onward was poo poo. But i really loved my Windows Phone 5 and 6.5 back in the day. I remember being able to easily find like twenty different music players for it on various websites and even like five different torrent programs. It made sense, because they were the same apps people were using on the Windows Mobile PDAs for years. I remember it absolutely blew my mind when I took my car's GPS, plugged it into a computer, and copied and pasted all the files over to my Windows Mobile phone and it ran it no problem. It was the coolest thing ever. I also remember loving the home screen. I forgot what they called it. Something like "My Home" or something like that. It was insanely customizable. I remember having every one of my email addresses listed and the number of unread emails each one had. And under that, the weather, and then shortcuts to my most-used apps. They had pretty good marketshare back then and I can't help but think they might have still been in the game if they just kept putting out better phones that ran the OS better. It was pretty good with multitasking but I do remember one of my phones with pretty lovely RAM (128MB I think?) would sometimes shut down my music app when I was using my GPS. I'm not sure what the business decision was to completely kill 20 years of app compatibility, and I'm far from a business person, but I feel like a lot of people would have stuck with Windows phones if they stuck with CE. I guess we have no way of knowing though.

ratbert90 posted:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BtrfsByDefault this scares me very little (in the longer term). i am very much a btrfs naysayer, but the main thing about my naysay is that it is the realm of fools to use anything but the most common default for stuff like filesystems. i would expect things to get hammered out a lot quicker if btrfs actually starts to see more mixed deployment by people less likely to be willing to tinker or get stockholm-syndromed.

I still don't trust btrfs but I guess if this finally gets it to a point where I feel safe using it that would be nice because being I would really like to be able to use its features for fast incremental backups and stuff.

It's fine as long as you're not using the modes outside of 0, 1, or 10.

The reason I don't trust btfs is because (as I've probably said before) I had problems with corruption under hard shutdowns a few years ago. Maybe it's better now, maybe it was just some weird bug with my specific computer, I don't know, but I don't urgently need btrfs's features so I'm perfectly happy to wait for more distributions to adopt it as the default and then give it another year before I touch it again.
