Comment Re: Bad ideas that just won't go away (Score 1) 148

People who think this is a good idea obviously live alone and work in an individual sealed office. Otherwise they'll know that as soon as you start talking on your own, people around will either ask you what's up, or get really worried about your mental health. Try to imagine an open space office, with a dozen people mumbling to they're laptops in unison, and how is that supposed to work out.

In theory, but in practice I found that its performances are closer to that of the backing HDD than the SSD. It is similar for the bcache kernel module to be fair. Using ZFS on HDD with L2ARC and LOG on SSD is comically slow. The only thing I found to give a real performance improvement is LVM cache, which is as fast as SSD as long as there is room on the SSD.

Comment Re: Meaning of "lifetime" miss-understood by many (Score 1) 65

A lifetime guarantee refers to the life of the product. I.e. a pair of waterproof shoes with lifetime guarantee, are guaranteed to be waterproof until they have a hole. In general guarantees only guarantee that the product is free from fabrication defects and will keep working as advertised during its lifetime.

You can have RDP in kde with KRDP and Gnome also has a built-in option. But the reality,is that doing remote desktop is cumbersome, and unless you do it over a local network the lag is rarely comfortable. Outside of niche applications like thin clients for classrooms, the Linux hacker would rather use ssh all the time.
