SID was a chip with both digital and analog sides to the die and can do a lot of things still, making them sought after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6581

I was lucky that my work software had a Linux version, so since 2017 was able to use Linux all day. Recently I needed Windows for a software. It is hell dealing with Windows interface again (it has a terrible workflow), and constant push of nonsense AI in apps, etc

We have a 2010 laptop that was useless with Windows. Runs NixOS now. Wife uses it for youtube, zoom calls, email etc. It is super responsive.

I had one laptop doing this, the work around was disabling ipv6

They are bound by USA sanction law, moving to another NATO country would be same sanctions against Russia

Thats fair. If you ever go back then at cli typing tracker3 will give a list of commands.

Tracker3 status will give you what it is doing or if it is idle, and notes on files that are troublesome.

tracker3 reset with cetain flags will purge and rebuild index.

You can also set filetypes and folders to index, but that is probably eaaier in dconf-editor settings, under org/freedesktop/tracker/mine/files

Easy to force a tracker reset, or enable disable. Or even reinstall. Seems easier than findinf a new DE no?

Also tracker ahould not be using up so much diskIO or CPU like people mention, if it is it is tripping up on a files internal data, and status/logs will show which file(s)

Tracker should not be recrawling everything, unless you delete the index with a tracker3 reset

Once it builds the initial index only new files or changed files should be recrawled for meta data.

The only time I have seen Tracker use cpu was when it got hung up on a file that had special code in it that was messing with parsing the data and so it would fail and retry over and over.

I play these on repeat occasionally.

When I was on reddit the ones spouting the most linux hate seemed to fall into two main categories.

1. those that tried it like 15 years ago and still hold a grudge.

2. dudes who heard people rave about linux but they themselves struggled with certain concepts when trying it out. And rather than realize they need to read instructions and learn new things, instead would rather blame linux for not working as expected.

There is a guy that is a Linux dev, that maintains* a list of what sucks about linux, its very comprehensive--but a bit dated. He alao has same for Windows. I will have to look for the link

What broke with tracker3 ?
