Can’t you change to a normal user with become? We do lots of stuff with Ansible as normal user. You should be able to create tasks that get executed as normal user and install yay and run makepkg, and then run yay to install packages.

It won’t mess with anything, but it does require to be set up on every pc you want to use it.
I didn’t say I couldn’t fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you’ll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there’s all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft’s own Surface line.
For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn’t install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.
This has happened for multiple versions.
Try Windows. It regularly breaks drivers (not only WiFi) on some hardware (mostly HP). I’ve never had issues with WiFi on Linux on HP, Dell, Microsoft Surface and even a Macbook.
Exactly, most, if not all, os’s do this.
Ram usage is really nothing to worry about depending on the amount you have. Windows will free ram where needed as long as there is enough. If ram is not being used by applications it will be used for other things (it will be cached I believe?). If almost no ram is being used it means some things might take longer to load.
Windows on my Surface Go 2 used about 3-4GB of ram when idle, while on my work laptop with 64GB ram it uses about 10-12GB. But if necessary applications can use some of that ram that’s normally being used in idle.
I do agree about Linux distros being faster, that’s my experience as well.
I seem to remember that Carbon also doesn’t need Origin, or am I wrong? I also think that it was awesome.
No need, if Ubuntu works out of the box then Debian also works most of the time. I’ve never had to install drivers for ethernet or wifi. The installer is a bit less graphical, but it will connect in a few “clicks”, even wifi works for the installer.
No, I won’t stop buying meat, it’s delicious.
And the store pays the supplier, the supplier pays the farm, and everything in between. Not sure if you’re being serious.
Yeah, by everyone that buys meat. It’s simple. If we all stop buying it now they’re gonna run out and stop producing meat. The meat you buy today pays the meat that enters the store later.
No it doesn’t. But money does allow them to keep going…
In the Netherlands as well, as well as when you buy stuff at a store. There’s always a small fee when you use a debit or credit card.
And with wat money? Your money and everyone else’s that buys meat. Not that it matters though, I’ll keep eating my meat.
That’s not an answer to the question. Anyway, does Hyprland support touch? I’ve briefly tried it, but out of the box it’s really unusable on a tablet. I’m looking for a tiling window manager that does support touch, including an on screen keyboard. For now I use KDE which supports touchscreens very well.
I’m the same, I love using the cli for many things, but it’s just no go on my Surface Go 2 if I want to use it as a tablet. I’m using KDE Plasma on Arch Linux, and it’s pretty awesome in terms of touchscreen support. I also tried Gnome, but it has a nasty backspace issue in the on screen keyboard. When you use backspace it’s like you press the left arrow key and then backspace, leaving half of the characters. Otherwise it’s great.
It takes some time to get everything working right though. I didn’t know how to get the on screen keyboard to work (Maliit), which is pretty important if you plan to use it on a tablet.
Another important thing is to use Wayland, as that greatly improves touchscreen support over Xorg.
So personally I’d suggest KDE, but Gnome is also really good if you don’t mind the backspace issue. Or am I missing something that would fix that?
So I managed to solve it. After searching around, many posts pointed to removing the xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package, which would help for other issues as well. This didn’t work for me though.
It turned out I had to remove the ~/.local/share/flatpak/db/documents file. After that I could copy files again. Now on to the next issue where the linux-surface kernel doesn’t get signed with my own MOK after the kernel gets updated.
How did you manage to do that? Installing Windows 11 only took me about 30 minutes last time. Installing Debian takes about the same time. And what does a VPS even have to do with all of this?
My bad, I looked over the returns. If you return something there wouldn’t be much difference between both.
So what’s the known issue?
