I’ve used Windows for a bit more than a decade, and I only found out its VFS is case-insensitive (by default) after I fully ditched the OS, when a bunch of Electron applications created directories with different cases - nothing ever broke because of it, save for a single Godot game.
Personally, I think case-insensitivity seldom makes sense, though I’m also aware that not everyone [knows how / is able] to properly operate a keyboard.
Mind giving me some pointers? I’ve tried to look for a fix several times without success.
If you have two groups, and you accidentally start dragging a window (assuming you use the mouse at all, which I do) Hyprland will drag the entire group and merge it with the one it’s hovering.
Now, imagine someone coming from Sway, who is used to rearranging individual windows by simply dragging them around without having to explicitly move them out of containers…
Yeah but Hyprland window groups tend to eat each other with the dwindle layout
I swear I heard my PC wake up in the middle of the night on its own several times, back when I used to run W10 on bare metal - god knows what it was doing
PeerOffense?
Windows does both
HDD too, with Linux. IME it’s just Windows chugging storage devices for entire minutes after booting, for no reason.

I had the opposite experience with Windows (7 up to 10), every now and then I would have to reinstall it to get some random feature working, which made the system run smoothly for a while - which checks out, considering Windows’ affinity for software rot.
Then again, I increasingly debloated it as time went on, which I’d assume contributes to its instability.
I’m not sure about specific packages, but in general a packager may not want to increase the upstream version even if they can do it themselves - for example, they may have made some mistake in the packaging process.
A recompilation or repackaging of Linux 6.6.6 is still Linux 6.6.6
Gotta recycle this:
That’s exactely what happened in my mind when I was getting started with Linux (kind of), although it’s arguably a habit that comes from using Windows where people don’t really think about OS users and permissions
I’m very confused by this thread.
Progress bars are handled by the applications themselves, whether flushing happens or not;
immediate flushing does not increase storage lifespan, in fact letting the OS decide when to do it may allow wear-leveling to work better.
(Though, IMO immediate flushing should be the default for removable media on user-friendly distributions, like swap partitions are)
Jokes on them, the Covenant have broken long ago
do what they say
No, that’s Vim
