I would really like to have one. But I own a XBOX Series X and realistically that’s fine for me to use. hardware wise, the Steam Machine is not even a big update.

I’ll wait 8 years for the next gen Steam Machine.

“White House cage fight event”. We live in strange times…

The problem is not really the end of Windows 10 itself. It was released in 2015 which is more than 10 years ago. Even Apple and Linux do not support versions of their OS fur such a long time.

The real problem are the hardware requirements of Windows 11 which do not allow users to install it on older PCs, but the article mentions that only in one short sentence.

In my opinion, end consumers should have the right to buy each PC/notebook with at least two Operation System options and the vendor must provide open source drivers for the hardware. The reason why so few people use Linux is, that Windows is preinstalled on most computers.

Governments and companies should switch to Linux to be independent from Microsoft. It’s simple risk reduction.

Who uses left or right to determine directions in the field of Geography can’t burn anyone. He should have called it west side park.

Do you kbow where Europe get it’s uranium to power these nuclear power plants from? No? Let me tell you: We import it from countries like Kazakhstan, Niger a bit from Canada. France, one of the biggest nuclear powered countries imports it’s uranium from Russia. This is exactly the same as with oil and gas. So tell me: How do nuclear power plants help us, if we have to import the fuel?

Do you know what are the resources we have in Europe: Wind, water and sun. To be fair, we have cole too, but this is one of the dirtiest ways to produce energie.

The only way out are renewable energies.

It’s not that easy. E.g. Europe was on good terms with Russia. It is not like Europe decided to become an enemy of Russia, Russia attacked an European country. Of course we should question ourselves if we should have trusted Russia in the first place.

The only way out is to become more enery independent by using more renewable energies.

Same here. Guacamole is totally fine. But besides that, I can not understand how anyone likes to eat Avocados.

My mum, who is in her 60’s, and never used anything other than Windows is on Linux Mint for nearly two years now and has no problem using it. I was surprised she has even explored features like virtual desktops and is using them now. She is far far away from being a tech person. And she never needed to touched a terminal while using it.

But I needed to install Mint for her. I think she would have given up at the point where the boot order had to be changed to start from the USB with the live/install media. And this is the biggest downside of Linux: You can’t just buy the average consumer pc/notebook with a pre-installed Linux. It is always windows installed. That’s why people keep using Windows. Not because Windows is better.

Wer hat uns verraten?

The most famous one is probably PayPal. But I assume for people who are privacy focused, that would be not the first choice.

There is Curve Pay, but I know nothing about it besides the fact that it exists.

Samsung Pay exists, but it only works on Samsung devices and therefore is not really an alternative in this case.

And then there are some regional options. Here in Germany are same banks that offer their own payment apps, most famously the Sparkassen. I heard there are also some Indian and east Asian payment apps, but I don’t know much about them.

Contactless payments does not need to be Google Pay. There are alternatives.

My guess is, that they will offer a new Thinkphone model with GraphenOS to target business customers.

But of course I don’t know it, just guessing.

Doesn’t matter. You can install it on any other hardware because Linux includes ‘cat’ already. You will not need the old one anymore.

I bought the left one with 1 TB for 64€ in the beginning of December. This is around 75US$.

Even if the 2 TB would double the price, these prices from the ad are just crazy.

Yeah, but this sub is called buyeuropean, not boycottUSA.

How is Roborock european?

Yeah, that’s also my biggest question.

My opinion on this is, that we should take the UK back. This being said, I think the UK should not be allowed to get any opt-outs from EU legislation as they had before (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_opt-outs_from_EU_legislation). If they want to become a member of the EU again, they should go full in.

Yeah, if you configure the laptop on Dells website, you can choose Ubuntu for some models.

I would love to see more Linux notebooks on third party online shops and offline stores. Not just from Dell, but also other vendors.

In my whole life, I never saw a Linux notebook in any local store. I’m living in Germany, so the situation might be different somewhere else, but I asume it’s the same in whole Europe and north America.

Dell is (or was?) already selling laptops with Ubuntu. They have experience with it. They should put it on more machines and sell them for 100$ less. If people don’t want Windows 11, offer them alternatives!
