Sounds like you guys are the dicks honestly.

Care to elaborate why?

Fiddle, Tweak, Reinstall.

Because of biological programming. Humans are the only mammals with females that have permanent boobyliciously boobing boobies, so as per evolution it is no surprise that human males are going boinks for them. Size, shape, motion, who they be on are the mutual factors for any attractive body part, quite so also for boobs. They are cute when tight and jiggly, pretty when bouncy and cozy to feel up regardless of size, neat to catch a stolen glimpse and satisfactory to blblblblbl.

I don’t know what kind of shocking reveal you expect.

The people inside the walls told me to. I no longer dare to defy them.

I agree that “obsolete” is an exaggeration, but from my point of view I’m making an upgrade from WiFi 5. WiFi 7 has way better throughout and possibly better real life coverage than 6, so I have no reason to settle with WiFi 6 when 7 is about to be readily available. I live in an apartment with plenty of competitors for the frequencies with good internet speed and plenty of NAS-ish use. And as mentioned, I was only sharing my personal reasons for why this isn’t a box for me. Maybe it is great for you and I’d be happy to learn more about your use case.

The two things that decide this device is not for me:

1. WiFi 6 when 7 is already in the shops. The wifi portion of the router will be obsolete very soon.

2. I need one uplink and 3-4 ethernet ports. Consumer WiFi routers have this.

So I’m just staying patient for my eventual upgrade from WiFi 5 to 7. I’d been more interested in a non brickable OpenWrt 1+4/8 ethernet device and get me a separate WiFi bridge.

Yep. Sour, salty and salmiak. Djungelvrål ftw.

GNOME is pretty but KDE works.

“Works” as in does what I expect from a desktop without deciding over my head that I should rethink my forty years of accumulated desktop experience without any discernible benefit to it.

Interesting. It’s like those data centers that ran on thousands of Xboxes

Apple had its current desktop environment for it’s proprietary ecosystem built on BSD with their own twist while supercomputers are typically multiuser parallel computing beats, so I’d say it is really fucking surprising. Pretty and responsive desktop environments and breathtaking number crunchers are the polar opposites of a product. Fuck me, you’ll find UNIX roots in Windows NT but my flabbers would be ghasted if Deep Blue had dropped a Blue Screen.

I tried PopOS on my laptop but found it fucky so I tried Fedora KDE and it works. Too many steps Debian -> Ubuntu -> PopOS.

Wait what Mac?

I do here in Sweden despite there is no need. Mostly because it is the convenient place in my kitchen.

I found out about this yesterday when searching for the KDE sources to make some alterations to the lock screen. I guess this distro is not for me.

FYI, you can get a feel for most distros by running it from a LiveCD/USB stick, fiddle about and see what works and what doesn’t.

Get back with results. I switched from Pop!_OS to Fedora KDE today. So far my annoyances with Pop and Gnome are gone and what little I had time to try out with Steam worked well. The kernel is on par with pop. I’m used to Debian based distros and using apt from the command line so it will be a learning experience, but damn the Fedora GUI for packages is streets ahead I must say.

So do the enterprise version work with a regular Win 11 (or Win 10 Pro) licence?

It’s been the strategy of the right wing here since forever - get in power sell out as much they can (and for some unfathomable reason for discount prices), fuck things up in general, leave it to a left wing government to salvage what can be saved while blaming them for public service being garbage so they can motivate selling out more when they have power again. It’s a mix of blind idealists and profiteering scum that are in liaison with the right wing nationalist party with former nazi connections and obviously the Christian democrat leader that models the party according to the republicans is the most buddy-buddy with the fringe right.

And the populist right wing of course romanticises about the good days when everyone had housing and was safe and provided and so on - that was built solely by the left and the right wing fought them every step of the way and that they have since then torn down. Blatant lies and disinformation all the way.

But it is what people vote for. We get the societal break down we deserve.

Here in Sweden we currently have the problem that hospitals are understaffed and keeping wages of nurses so low that a lot of nurses quit and leave the others with an even crazier workload so the hospitals buy nurses semi permanently from temp agencies that cost multiple times more and the rental nurses have better pay and agreements of overtime and such. We had a well functioning health care but then the privatisation of everything and selling out communally owned services to private profit making schemes since the 90s. Because our government has been dominated by right wing market liberals and “sossehöger” - social democrats that jump on right wing populism to stay in power when they can rather than being consistent in left wing ideals.

Fucking end the market liberal experiment already. “The market solves all problems” - yeah, of it’s own interest which is how to squeeze out more profits regardless the how and how low it stoops.
