Is that happening on Ubuntu?


How different is this from Indian systems like PayTM or PhonePe ? functionally.
I usually work with MS formats on LO (only because they need smaller space for small files, in larger files, MS formats are objectively bulkier). My observation is that MS messes with formatting of files made on LO, no matter which format you pick… even with whitespace of otherwise plain unfomatted text at times.
It is definitely a MS issue, and it is not about formats they have made public.
I had dual booted Ubuntu with Windows when I was in college, without having any prior exposure to Linux or any skill in coding or even scripting. The install itself was incredibly easy and I was wondering why more kids don’t do it. All the core functions that a computer was supposed to, Ubuntu was doing it better than Windows save one - running windows specific software.
I guess Linux was good enough for education back then itself, but it ddn’t run fancy games and I could not convince anyone else to dual boot their PC.


Which country?


This is only for Thinkpads which are offered as customized units and have a longer shipping time.
I am surprised that Thinkpad isn’t the top recommendation. It is pricey, but built to last even after multiple hardware upgradations.


This is good RAM for any 32 bit OS which is still being maintained.
64 bit OS require minimum 4 GB.
I don’t think Google will like any 32 bit device though. Go for an older version from libreoffice.


… but I couldn’t find any instructions on compiling Windows outside of very outdated releases like 2000.
Damn! I was hoping to do it with Windows 7. Looks like that ship is doomed as well.
Most computers have sufficuent battery back up to cover “patchy electricity”.
One single work day of patchy internet can change how you look at this.
I mostly use an android, and the default font is Ideal Sans Light. On my system, Arial Nova, Courier Prime, Helvetica Neue, Ideal Sans Book and a few others are regulars.
Every once in a while I get this itch which ends up in getting a new favourite font.


Why isn’t a Rust kernel being developed in parallel ?
Does it work for gmail, yahoo, etc ?
