  • The problem is not building a new operating system, but app support. We have and used to have a lot alternatives, but because mainstream apps are missing no one wants to use them. They don’t have enough users, so developers won’t develop for them, egg-chicken problem. Everyone tried to solve this by android compatibility layer, but android apps will always run better on android…

    I use microG since years at this point, and while most things are working, I always find some quirks, and some random apps not behaving as they should. I’m fine with that, but a non-tech guy would freak out from that. And it’s not even a completely different os, only an alternative implementation of GMS aka Play Services.

    See previous and current examples, all of them was/is a good or at least usable as an os, but if you can’t use your bank’s app or whatever app you need in your daily life, you won’t switch to it. Even M$ couldn’t solve this problem, why Mr. Pei could solve it.

    Edit: Obviously in the article they don’t speak about an actual OS, but one more Android skin… So Mr. Pei is not planning to solve this, they are just redefining the meaning of words, Android skins are called "OS"s in entrepreneur speak nowadays.



  • It’s incorrect. I have 2 AMD cards, I can detach it from linux before booting the guest. After I shut down the guest I have to log out in Gnome to make the card usable again, but no reboot required. It depends on how you set it up. I have a single 34" monitor with 2 inputs, connected to both cards.

    I recommend to read about this topic, it would be quicker than waiting for people to answer, your questions were answered multiple times. I recommend the vfio wiki on the r*ddit a lot of good links are collected there: https://old.reddit.com/r/VFIO/wiki/index









  • Is this that though? Isn’t MKBHD just a youtube personality? I mean, you can live well from youtube if you do good quality stuff, but is he considered a “rich person”. If it would be zuck or elon or warren buffet, I would see your point, but I don’t see a reviewer as someone from a “higher class”, he is basically just a specialized journalist, who is looking for more ways to convert some of his fame to money, because youtube still doesn’t pay enough to him.

    Do you also hate Linus because he constantly advertises his underwear, which is exactly the same as one you can get in any shop but for double price. It’s also a “scam” if you think about this way. I don’t know why there is this huge outcry for this as it happened a million times before, and I’m sure it will happen in the future.

    You will loose your mind when you will learn about the girl who sold her used bathwater…


  • Why do you care? People do a lot of stupid and wrong things, you don’t have to care or share these things. See my example: I read about this backround image app or whatever is this, I thought “yeah, it’s stupid and I don’t care” and moved on with my life. Never thought about this again until you posted this here. There are a lot more important things to be angry about. Ignore the unnecessary. This guy makes nicely edited reviews, that’s all, forget the extra bullshit around that. Your life will be better.
