Why is my T440s so much slower on fedora than w11? 😔
Off only the top of my head.

How can you uninstall systemd?
It will differ by distro, but generally for debian, you begin uninstalling systemd by installing something else like SysV init:
apt install sysvinit-core sysvinit-utils
cp /usr/share/sysvinit/inittab /etc/inittab
Then you will need to configure grub by editing /etc/default/grub changing:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="init=/bin/systemd console=hvc0 console=ttyS0"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="init=/lib/sysvinit/init console=hvc0 console=ttyS0"
and then executing update-grub as root.
Then you can reboot so that the system boots off of sysvinit instead and then purge systemd with apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove systemd. This also removes packages that depend on systemd.
Then you pin systemd packages to prevent apt from installing systemd or systemd-like packages in the future.
echo -e 'Package: systemd\nPin: release *\nPin-Priority: -1' > /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd
echo -e '\n\nPackage: *systemd*\nPin: release *\nPin-Priority: -1' >> /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd
Depending on if the distro is multiarch, you might also need:
echo -e '\nPackage: systemd:amd64\nPin: release *\nPin-Priority: -1' >> /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd
echo -e '\nPackage: systemd:i386\nPin: release *\nPin-Priority: -1' >> /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd
This information was sourced from this wiki dedicated specifically to removing systemd on multiple distributions and replacing it with something else:
Wow. Honestly, thank you! I had entirely forgot that this wiki even exists. I’ve bookmarked your reply. :-)
Potentiallyfaster installation
Particularly when you’re flashing the ISO you downloaded from MS to USB and it doesn’t work unless you use MS’s magic tool. Thus dropping you into the bootstrap paradox.
Especially because it gets partway through the install before failing to load NVMe drivers complaining there is no installation media to load them from.
It turns out it’s faster to install Ubuntu and download one of MS’s windows VM’s and use that to download and flash a USB than actually install Windows 11.
Linux is cool, shame about the video being by Mental Outlaw though
Far right nutjob? Crypto bro? That is what I have been hearing… Can’t say for sure, though.
Those are just insults people, who cannot gasp that someone could have a slightly different opinion about something, use against him.
Some political things about him include: He …
- is an anarchist (or somewhere on that political spectrum)
- wants to have the right to own a gun
- is pro free speech
- thinks using money should not have to earn mega corporations that much money
- thinks “brother should not kill brother” in the war in Ukraine
- is not a fan of Elon Musk, Teslas or self driving cars
- is pro Free Software and for privacy
Obviously depends on what is meant with “far right nutjob”. If it implies that anarchy (no government) is the opposite of socialism (far left - maximum government) then yeah but usually it just means “massive bigot”, which I don’t think he is, otherwise give source.
Similar with crypto bro. For me it means the pump and dump scheme scammer or at least someone who is pro crypto because he sees it as a mean to get rich quick. But if “Crypto bro” just means anyone who likes the advantages of crypto, then he indeed is one.
But regardless of how we name things, he doesn’t have any evil values (as far as I know). He just has different opinions than the average lemmy user. It should not be hard to tolerate him, considering this platform is a mass murderer fanclub (actual evil values, not just “quirky” politics).
He’s quit youtubing like 2 years ago. Also:
I will always remember Luke Smith as the perfect example of what happens when you fall for every single /g/ meme at once, without carefully analyzing them first. He owns four ThinkPads at least. While I see nothing wrong with them in themselves, as they are admittedly pretty good value for the price, four is just mindless consumerism, contradictory to his “philosophy”. He started using every single shitty pseudominimalist, ncurses-based program, used a shitty riced out i3 setup of dubious actual productivity (like all tiling wms), then fell for the full Suckless meme and went in even deeper. Then he started making videos shitting on Python and praising C, which is ironic considering he is not even a programmer by his own admission. He effectively spent years trying out, configuring and hopelessly trying to integrate tens of meme programs to build what is, combined, effectively a shittier Emacs, just like most of /g/ was doing in their “productive” desktop threads a year or two ago. Then he read the Unabomber manifesto and blindly accepted it without constructively analyzing it first, same with the anarcho-primitivist ideology that was all the rage about a year and a half ago on 4chan and 8ch. While he stated on his website that he “didn’t browse 4chan much anymore” it was obvious this wasn’t the case. Then he went and took the memes way too far, and unironically went to live in isolation. While I see nothing wrong in itself, the actual reason he did it is massive cringe. He became Christian because of 4chan, the least christian website. He has the mentality of someone 10 years younger than he is, yet he acts like a literal boomer jokingly criticizing “zoomers” despite he himself being the worst example of a millennial. He attacks “nerds” when it’t painfully obvious he’s deeply unhappy with himself, as it was obviously self-directed criticism thinly veiled as an edgy dabbing video. He is a perfect example of someone you should avoid becoming at all costs.
No ads in operating system. Simple.
Let’s be honest here
I like Linux as much as the next guy
… But a violent kick to the 'nards is still more pleasant than Windows 11, so this is a “Luigi Wins By Doing Absolutely Nothing” scenario.
Now, now. Cinnamon is a perfectly competent DE. Gets out of the way. Does what it’s supposed to.
Let us not treat it like it is Gnome.
I don’t like GNOME, but I’ve honestly had consistently worse experiences with Cinnamon.
