  • I am not christian but I mostly appreciate and abide by the ten commandments.

    Please re read the actual ten commandments, then your own comment.

    If you’re not christian, you’re not following the commandments, because they’re 40% contractual obligation to worship the christian god exclusively.

    Agreeing not to steal, murder, or fucking your neighbours’ goats, on the other side, is hardly something christians have a monopoly on.

    But then, all of the Old Testament is really Jewish with some minor edits to retrofit it for the sequel. Guess somebody coveted their neighbour’s scripture and broke its fundamental rules to swipe it.








  • I’m on EndeavourOS, too. I don’t see anything near that kind of memory drain, but I’ve been using window managers instead of desktop environments for a long time.

    For ages I had old, poorly specced laptops, and the big DEs like KDE would quickly cap what memory I had for actual software. And I’m not even a gamer, this would be GIMP or a plain browser that would crash because of too little RAM.

    Even now, with more memory and better CPU, I stuck to the habit of using a WM instead, and everything really just runs better. You do sacrifice some eye candy and built-in functions, but IMHO it’s worth the tradeoff.




  • Impressive, they managed to find a decent OS under all that garbage?

    I’m happy running Linux, but I think there are three possible outcomes for Atlas:

    1. Microsoft’s legal department is going to come down on the project with the full legal weight of copyright laws, and tie developers’ efforts and energy up in red tape.
    2. Microsoft will just quietly build obstacles into Windows updates that makes Atlas maintenance next to impossible, or just hard enough to wear developers out.
    3. Atlas will just putter out on its own due to lack of interest, because users are either too complacent to abandon Windows or already eyeing more established alternatives like Mac or Linux.
