Wait, what are the credits for? You spend them to watch porn or what? So when you’re out of credits you’re locked out? Sorry but… wtf?

Progress!
Kinda wild to think about how different their lives must have been to ours. I wonder if humans 50000 years in the future will think the same about us, assuming we survive for that long.
Denmark is super flat. I believe the highest point is the pylons of the bridge between the two Major islands, Funen and Zealand.
What other tools than VPNs would you say are important?
AfD is Alternative fur Deutschland, a far right party. This divide is present ever since the division of Germany into East and West Germany and persists to this day despite the fact that the wall fell in 1989. It is definitely not coincidence that there is a political and demographical divide.
Interesting, thanks for sharing
You didn’t read my whole post it seems.
I’m quite sure such on the fly price changes are illegal. At least here in Denmark.
You are getting the whole story - not sure what it is you think is missing. But I mean a serious desktop contender has to take UX seriously and have things “just work” without any custom configuration or tweaking or hacking around. Currently when I compile on Windows my browser and other programs “just works” while on Linux, the other stuff is choppy and laggy.
I actually tried that but I had to reduce it all the way to 4 jobs, which slows compilation down a lot.
I am on Wayland actually
Yes Firefox, yes NVMe. No, there is no IO happening and again, sitting at relatively low memory usage. I was not running anything else than the compiler, my editor and Firefox. I’m fairly confident the CPU usage is the culprit as memory usage is not severely affected and disk usage by the compiler should be pretty minimal (and I don’t see how disk usage would make Firefox slow if there’s still plenty of RAM available).
Neither KDE nor Gnome is peak Desktop Linux experience. Ubuntu and its flavors is not peak distro experience either.
If you want to try Desktop Linux for real, you will need to dip your toes a little bit deeper.
I’ve heard much of the opposite - KDE is touted as an easy-to-use desktop and Ubuntu is largely a popular “just works” distro. And honestly that has been my primary experience. Mostly everything works, but there are some hiccups here and there like the problem I posted about in this thread.
What alternative would you suggest?
If that’s the solution to the problem, it’s a good solution. Linux ought to do the same thing, cause none of the suggestions in this thread have worked for me.
That might be the case, but that makes me sad though. That implies that Linux is only targeting technical people who are willing to tinker with all these things themselves.
I would personally want Linux to be broader than that. I’d want it to be the option for everyone - free computing shouldn’t be limited to technical people, it should be provided to all.
So I just tried using nice -n +19
and it still lags my browser and my UI. So that’s not even a good workaround.
I wonder if Linux should also provide server and desktop variants like Windows does, with different scheduler settings and such. The use cases are quite different after all, it’s kinda weird they use the same settings.
I have a worrying feeling that if I opened a bug for the KDE desktop about this, they’d just say it’s a problem of the scheduler and that’s the kernel so it’s out of their hands. But maybe I should try?
That’s all fine, but as I said, Windows seems to handle this situation without a hitch. Why can Windows do it when Linux can’t?
Also, it sounds like you suggest there is a tradeoff between bandwidth and responsiveness. That sounds reasonable. But shouldn’t Linux then allow me to easily decide where I want that tradeoff to lie? Currently I only have workarounds. Why isn’t there some setting somewhere to say “Yes, please prioritise responsiveness even if it reduces bandwidth a little bit”. And that probably ought to be the default setting. I don’t think a responsive UI should be questioned - that should just be a given.
As much as I want such news to sound good, there’s still massive problems with UX and performance scheduling on Linux.
