What's the benefit over pip in a venv?

I found that moderate compression (like zstd-2 or -3) not only increases your effective storage capacity, but increases R/W speeds for HDDs.

For space taken up on the road, being half a meter shorter or longer doesn't make much of a difference, since the distance between cars is much larger. And for parking, being as tall as a person greatly reduces street visibility for pedestrians. Don't get me wrong, this car is much better than a truck or SUV, but it is not 'tiny'.

This looks to be as tall as a person? How is that 'tiny'?

It just.. lacks features? I couldn't use ZFS or Btrfs, FDE requires third-party software (veracrypt) and lots of other things that I see as standard system utilities (think ssh, git etc.) are not available on a fresh install. And then you're supposed to download and install .exe files from the internet? Since microsoft controls what goes in the windows store, that could provide the same experience as your distro's repositories. But again, most things you want aren't there, and you can't even trust the things that are there. For some reason, a billion dollar company cannot curate a software repository of the same quality as the ones maintained by unpaid volunteers in the Linux world.

So yeah, I think it's just not there yet. Maybe in a few years windows will be a viable alternative for desktop systems.

Then just turn those specific settings off?

Das nenne ich mal Technologieoffenheit

Gute Tirade, allerdings keine Erwähnung der DB. 6/10

Last time I installed Windows, it looked for existing EFI partitions on other drives. I could only get windows to create an EFI partition on its own drive by physically disconnecting all other drives before starting the installation.

I prefer oat milk

I'm curious as to why Firefox is checking for updates, have you configured it to do so? I've never seen Firefox do that (and it feels weird to have a program sidestep the update mechanism of the package manager)
