Thats an older post, Leap 15.2 i think it said, more recent releases are sharing same SLE binaries, and part of Leap installs is now suse repo for some stuff rather than all from opensuse repo

I have HP Zbook, Linux works fine. There is a BIOS bug that linux boot acknowledges and moves forward with...just an annoying few intial mesaages during bootup

you sure you're not oversampling the loud ones?

Well of course. This is how media and internet is. You get complainers and evangelicals and the folks in between don't care enough to make the effort to weight in.

The original question was why the Ire on IOS users buying a new phone / features. So back to that, it is the loud IOS users that are visible and the ones and the loud android crowd calls out as being sheep.

But yes, unfortunately in my pocket of the world people seem insecure about the amount they paid to Apple and so want to onboard others around them to justify their own purchase through consensus validation.

Yeah not sure what Jerboa did with my last word. Sense is what I typed.

Htop is completly customizable for how the sections of data are displayed. it is a bit convoluted the first time you start, but then it makes

There is a reason diayros are moving to Trans-actional updates

Not sure about what permission changes you did, but my system has various permissions depending on the files or folders, so a general recursive change may give you a functioning system, but with broken security

Yes it is pretty much the same, Android you just type the IP address, Apple you download a config. For anyone not knowing about it ( which sounds like you do) It is system wide, and not just for webpages, lookup goes through the private DNS. It is how the app version does it also, you just get a button to turn off the private DNS and use the general 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 for when you need to resolve a site, and maybe a few other functions. I forget which adblocker it was, but one was selling user data, so setting up your own DNS or pihole seems the best way.

For example I never walk around convincing people that Android is the best platform. A phone is just a phone. But the majority of Apple and Iphone users want to tell me how great their product is and that I should switch--when the conversation was not about phones. It is like dealing with Evangelical Christians. Now I know from experience that some Christians never speak of their religion to non believers, and some iphone users don'y solicit either, but there is a reason there is a stereotype. Maybe it is not in your circle and you are then actually lucky.

Bump to transfer files, worked fine 12 years ago. Adhoc wifi no issue. Google Wallet worked fine instead of Apple pay, and so on. its just nobody cares, except IOS users, as they think Apple pay is somehow better. Even a search says Apple's "Revolution" of payment. if you notice the only difference between the rest of phone and PC market compared to Apple's is the use of Adjectives in front of the software or device, and that is enough to convince the average person that it is better. Samsung has DEX that turns your flagship phone into a linux desktop (less linuxy after version 9 and more dumbed down now) When you dock it. So Monitor , keyboard Mouse, external drive use with full desktop experience, but nobody cares and Samsung doean't flaunt it like Apple marketing would...but maybe they should.

i think the ire is because Apple fans believe it without questioning it, like flat earth believers being told that by a religious leader. People go harsh on religious fanatics. For adults buying a phone, sure. For kids it is image, they are peer pressured into having Apple, or face highschool ridicule. And they aren't buying it outright, it goes on a payment plan that mom and dad pay for. Even my apple fan coworker is always trying to convince me to move to IOS, for "new" features, and I have to say dude I have been doing that forever, I would gain nothing by moving to IOS and lose a ton of technical abilities where I use my phone like a PC...but people can't be convinced of what they already believe

It is a security thing, if you are auto logged in most people don't want their wallet keys totally available. And yeah it is a pain I found with KDE, at least with GNOME login it auto-unlocked your wallet (which can be set not to)
