And, while I like old hardware, the first x86-64 chips shipped in 2003. So, this is not exactly a Windows 11 situation.
Hardware older than that is going to struggle with modern browsers. A PC from that era would probably have less than 1 GB of RAM and perhaps a max RAM well under 4 GB (the theoretical limit). Using older software versions is probably best anyway.
Speaking for myself, this is why COSMIC is appealing:
I also love that it is driving Smithay and Iced which matures the foundations of other great projects like Niri and even RedoxOS.
Every time he talks to Canadians, we should ask him if Premier Trump is ready to make the USA the 11th Province or not. Remind him that it is their destiny and they will be far better off. If he is not “passionate” about the idea, tell him we are “sad” and “disappointed” in him.
Then walk away.
Personally I think it should be a requirement to be vetted by a country’s intelligence service in order to run for office.
I am not saying that you cannot run or be voted in. You can run no matter what.
I do think that the results of your screening should be public. Not the details, more just the thumbs up or down.
People need to know the danger you are in.
Russia does not have the capacity to fight 5 or 10 more years (unless the US backstops them). Ukraine does not need the resources to go 10 years. They need the resources to outlast the Russians. That is probably more like 18 to 24 months. It could be less.
In my view, that is not only affordable but quite inexpensive given the benefits.
Europe and the US have contributed about $250 billion collectively over the last 3 years (Europe has contributed more). That is a small amount of money for either of them. Most of the $120 billion the US counts as Ukraine aid has been spent on new weapons systems for the United States for the US military. The US builds themselves new weapons, sends Ukraine old ones, and counts the value of the old weapons as Ukraine aid. The thing is, most of these weapons would have been decommissioned in a few years without being used (assuming the US does not enter any major wars). So, the “real” cost to the US is actually far less.
Both the US and Europe not only can sustain their current commitment. They could easily increase it without breaking a sweat. I lay no claim to it but Norway alone has a $1.7 trillion dollar pile of cash.
In my view, the real question is who is going to pay for the aftermath of Russia’s continued aggression if they are allowed to invade Ukraine?
Was it cheaper to have World War II or to stop Germany in Poland or Czechoslovakia? What would we have done in 1945 if given the chance to do it again?
Perhaps you are right that it is unrealistic. That is more an opinion than a demonstrable fact and my opinion is no better than yours.
I am not sure I can agree that it is brainless. While that is also an opinion, there are lots to facts to counter that argument.
Supporting Ukraine no matter what it takes seems like the clear and obvious choice. I guess that is why it is what every country that matters is doing (except the US—now).
Do you have a better argument?
I just looked all this over and, just to clarify, both VirtualBox itself and the Guest Additions are free and released under GPL3.
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Licensing_FAQ
What is not free is the separately downloadable “VirtualBox Extension Pack”.
As long as you stay away from the “Extension Pack”, you are ok.
They have been migrating to GTK3 since before GTK4 was out.
I am sure they will stay behind but future porting should be easier.
That said, non-GNOME GTK apps seem to be considering sticking with GTK3 anyway ( to avoid libadwaita ).

Come on. This is very clearly “howaboutism”.
I am all for hating in GNOME for constantly breaking things. In this case though, are they not moving away from their non-standard system to the JavaScript standard? That seems like something to be supported and, in the long run, it will likely lead to less breakage.
Or am I misunderstanding?
Glad people are loving Sync. A bit surprised that people are saying that there is finally a good mobile UX for Lemmy though.
I was an Apollo user on Reddit and have been using Voyager for Lemmy. The experience on my phone ( other than content ) has been near indistinguishable. If I had both apps, I would barely be aware of which one I was in.
Anyway, awesome that people are loving Sync.
There is so much misinformation and bad advice in this thread.
Thankfully, there are a few that correctly just say install
nvidia-580xx-dkmsYou can install new kernels after that. There is nothing to manually manage. They do not have to be LTS.
