I fear that even the most dedicated Linux advocates will admit
that Windows 11 is a decent operating system.
Why? If the only improvement on Windows is to be able to better
use Linux, there's nothing good. I don't need Windows to run
Linux. I read only the beginning and get bored.
User-Agent: slrn/1.0.3 (Linux)
Yep.
Yep.
No. There is nothing slow with it.
Post by Warthogas shit text based newsreader program.
Yep, and it's the tip of the iceberg. Every tools I'm using to manage
text are keyboard driven, not mice driven because it's more efficient.
Of course, they need to be learned but I'm able to chose what's worth
learning.
Post by WarthogTry loading 5k posts into slrn and see how long it takes.
It will mostly depend on your connection, not on your newsreader. If
really the download part is too slow for your taste, you can always use
a spool to take care of the download before you need it.
Post by WarthogXnews or even Thunderbird does it in the blink of an eye.
It's fast in slrn, I would only gain a few seconds once every two or
three month. The need to use a mouse to read the messages and write my
replies would make me lost a few minutes every month. The switch would
result in a big lost of time and in a lot of frustration. You should
reconsider your arguments when you try to know what's best for me.
Post by WarthogI get it that you like living in the past
I'm not living in the past. You are confused because you are not able to
make the difference between improvement and novelty. The new thing is
not always the best. But when it's better, I'm willing to use it.
Look at neovide for example, the third screenshot:
<https://github.com/neovide/neovide>
There are no other text editors with a cursor like that. It may look
just a blinking toy, but it's great when you are moving your cursor.
It's new and I'm using it.
Post by Warthogwith shitty buggy applications and that's typical for a Linux user but
the rest of the world has moved on and at least for a desktop system,
Linux has been ignored except by a few of the faithful who have
somehow convinced themselves of Linux's desktop superiority.
At work I'm using Windows, so I can, at the same time, compare how it's
more buggy than Linux and other people who know Windows, Excel, Word and
other shit better than me. And I'm impressed to see how it's inefficient
in the hand of people who tell me it's better. So, they have move toward
facility, not toward efficiency. Every Windows user I can see proves me
I'm right to let the garbage aside.
Post by WarthogQueue up a reply moving the goal posts to super computers.
I'm not using s super computer, I don't need to follow their choices.
They are using it because the ressources are better managed, I'm using
it because I can adapt it at my needs instead of adapting myself to
Windows needs.
