  • Secondly, I think I remember that it’s trying to replicate the linux, I haven’t seen any innovations to the typical stack. If I started a kernel from scratch I’d like to implement as many improvements and innovations that has come out since the 2000.

    Although Redox is not the most innovative operating system under the sun, it does many things differently than Linux. The biggest difference is that it is a microkernel rather than a monolithic kernel. Yes, Redox is Unix-like, so it looks a lot like Linux in userspace, but in my opinion, this makes it more digestible for the average user and gives it a better chance of catching on.

    Redox and SerenityOS are two operating systems that I keep an eye on and root for to catch on (at least a little).


  • You know you. But my experience from back in uni is that carrying a gaming handheld was pointless. if I have free time between classes I am going to do my homework or hang out with friends. And once classes are over? I am going home (or to hang out with friends again).

    I agree. When I was in college, both in between classes and after them I either didn’t have the time, energy, or mood to play anything.

    @[email protected], if I were in your shoes, I’d stick with the laptop you currently have. Especially if it’s still in working condition and if it’s light. Get a new laptop only if the current one is heavy – you don’t want to carry around a 20-kilogram gaming laptop everywhere!

    If you want to get a new machine and you’re set on getting either the Framework or the Steam Deck, I would choose the Framework. I think they are similar in terms of performance (all I know is that both of them can play Spider-man Remastered), but I can’t imagine doing anything productive on the Steam Deck (even with a mouse and keyboard connected). And hauling two devices around (laptop plus Steam Deck) gets annoying quick.

    I did not know that Amazon sold digital music. But it kills me that Amazon and Apple are the two big choices. Out of the frying pan into the fire…

    I thought that Tidal was a streaming service, and that you can rip music from there like you can from Youtube or Spotify.

    Almost every time I look on Bandcamp, the artist I am looking for isn’t there. :( Also, last time I tried buying something there they only accepted PayPal which I stopped using a while ago. But it seems they accept normal card payments now. Neat.

    I buy CDs – I even bought a CD drive to rip them – but international shipping really kills me. I guess brick-and-mortar music shops are still a thing…
