I think with more adoption, a lot of Linux's friction against more adoption will be resolved faster and for more people and use cases. Gaming is already at a point where you can practically play more games than you'd ever have the time or energy for.

I see your point. It's much weirder to say one thing is also the middle thing. It's probably much safer to say you have a middle name only if you have an odd number of names greater than one. You safely (IMO) have two middle names if you have an even number of names greater than two.

Well, if you have just 1 name, then technically, it's your first, middle, and last name at the same time

You're right. I can't recall the other utility's name. System Monitor is fantastic, but I just wish I could set the niceness and all that like you could on the old utility.

Well KDE had this awesome process management tool, I think it was called ~~System Monitor~~ or something. You could tune process priorities with IO and CPU. They deprecated the tool though, I think because nobody wanted to port it to QT6

EDIT: It's not System Monitor. I can't recall the name, but there used to be an app that let you set niceness / priorities of your processes.

HardInfo2 may be interesting to you

So they can eat a snake? I wonder if they have special adaptations for being bitten by or eating a venomous snake

I tried the one on the play store

Should be plenty fast enough to handle Gnome or KDE. I think you'll also want ZRAM because presumably your RAM won't be much and your storage will either be slow or limited. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to enable.

I think both DEs are very touchscreen viable, with the possibility that you may have to configure a teeny bit, like adding a virtual keyboard

God I want call screening like Google has it. If I don't have the number in my history or contacts, just quietly screen the call, hang up if it's a scam and buzz me if they reply and are not obviously a scam.

This is what Pixel phones can do. Samsung has the screening thing but it's manual and it's not nearly as good

QC in tech and in business is generally ubiquitous to mean quality control though

Look, there must be limits. The amount of sex-demand one would get from doing something like this is beyond what any person could survive

 

I'd like to set limits on the clockspeed of my laptop for efficiency and to reduce heat and fan usage. Is there some way I can do this in AMD's Pstate-EPP driver?

 

I don't know if this is true, but I've heard Visa and other card compabies can sometimes be expensive and difficult to small businesses. Is there something else one could use that's not cash that would be better?
