Zorin OS's auto-brightness feature has this bug that I like to call "Brightness Runaway," where, if it's semi-dark in the room you're in, loading a webpage with a Light Mode UI will throw enough light onto you (and the things around you) that Zorin OS will think it suddenly got brighter in the room.

That causes the auto-brightness to raise itself, which causes more light to be thrown into the room. That causes the auto-brightness to think it got even brighter, which causes it to raise the brightness even more.

The brighter it gets, the more auto-brightness tries to raise the brightness, and the more auto-brightness tries to the raise the brightness, the brighter it gets, so eventually you end up sitting there like:

ok y'all I'm switching from Windows OS with a new laptop soon got any suggestions? not going Mac or Google since they're just as bad if not worse, thinking about Linux mint or Zorin

Me giving Ashlen a potential bf because I can.

Anyways, meet Zorin: the dragon prince. He is very prosperous and noble, often relaxed with his royal status, and is often an odd one out among dragon kind as he is generous to those he cares about. However, still a dragon, he always has an eye for gold and jewelry. He has a soothing voice :>

His scale and fur colors are based around a Dragon's Breath Opal because yes. Also, I'm trying to lean more with the purple than red since I need more color variety with my ocs. And yes, he has pink hair, he rocks it.

No Windows, Sí a Linux.

Hoy en día Windows 10 se está quedando sin soporte, aunque también tiene sus fallas y vulnerabilidades, Windows 11 ni se diga, es el sistema operativo con más de 1100+ vulnerabilidades y fallos por parte de Microsoft y eso que aún no supera la cuota de Windows 10. Yo lo mejor que recomiendo es usar Linux, su entorno es maravilloso, un sistema ligero y que se preocupa por la batería de tu Laptop; y para un entorno de desarrollo va fenomenal. Me enamorado casi de una distro muy especial, ZorinOS Pro, y el escritorio puedo personalizarlo y dejarlo como el escritorio de Windows XP, 7, 10 y 11, y hasta parecido al escritorio de MacOS.

Yo en lo personal, te recomiendo usarlo; ZorinOS viene en las siguientes versiones: - Core. - Pro. - Lite/Lite Pro. - Education. A mí me encanta ZorinOS Pro, lo he venido usando por mucho tiempo y la verdad es muy estable, no falla mucho (esto puede variar según la máquina que uses), es ligero y tiene una estética fantástica con un diseño muy atractivo.

Si eres usuario de Windows o de Mac y si sabes que ya no tienes soporte y actualizaciones, no te preocupes, con Zorin puedes darle otra vida y uso a tu computadora. https://zorin.com/a/pro/?ref=janp-c

Longterm Linux user (and Windows despiser) here to recommend my favorite distro, Linux Mint.

Don't feel you have to go with my pic, though! There are lots of distros out there with options for all kinds of users. (I might also mention, for those of you with older computers, that Zorin is a lightweight distro made for outdated systems.)

As far as gaming goes, between Steam's Proton plugin and Wine you should be able to run pretty much any game that's out there.

One more thing: if you're familiar with using the command prompt in Windows or are a former DOS user, you'll find installing software and customizing your environment is a breeze. If not, you'll have to spend a little time familiarizing yourself with how to use the terminal. But most installation guides online are pretty good about providing the syntax you'll need for easy copy/pasting into terminal.

The only other thing you'll need to be sure to remember is to use the copy and paste commands in the edit menu of the terminal. Don't try to use ctrl-C or ctrl-V; it'll just type ^c and ^v.

I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence

Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.

Switch to linux, it's free and it's good.

I'm thinking about doing something extremely feral:

Basically, unlike macOS, dynamic wallpapers on Linux work on timers. So, the dynamic Mojave Wallpaper I have set up isn't aware of when the daylight is changing, like on macOS. As a result, 16 photos across 24 hours simply is not enough.

The wallpaper that I initially downloaded, had each of the 16 images evenly spaced out. However, one quick look at the images, and you can tell they are NOT lined up for the changes in day time. Therefore, I went into the XML file and edited the times, myself. I set them up to better reflect what the sun is actually doing, outside.

However.

The sun does not behave the same throughout the entire year. Fortunately, Apple weather has this fun feature that lets you look at how the daylight behaves across the year, on a per-month basis. As a result, what I can do is make a unique XML file, for each month, and then swap them out at the 1st to make sure my dynamic wallpaper stays accurate.

But that's a lot of work for a wallpaper, and having to manually swap them out isn't ideal. I wonder if there's a way to use functions to make a single XML file repeat the daily pattern only a certain amount of days before switching to a new daily pattern for a new month, and then repeating.

Idk. And there's only one way to find out!

[nilsnoeskeautor]

Die Welt der "Choices", also die Welt der Entscheidungen, ist ein bunter Blumenstrauß an Möglichkeiten. Ich habe sie genau dafür damals, als ich noch sehr jung war (halb so alt wie jetzt), so erschaffen.

Das mächtigste Land dieser Welt zeichnet sich durch eine gewaltige Kluft an Reichtum und Technologie aus. Die Hauptstadt dieses Landes, Zorin, ist ein futuristisches und wahrlich gewaltiges Weltwunder. Durch sehr strikte Lizenzgesetze und harte Hand kommen diese technologischen Fortschritte jedoch nur teilweise oder gar nicht in den ärmeren Bevölkerungsschichten an, was zu einer großen Landflucht und auch einer großen Spaltung zwischen Arm und Reich innerhalb Zorins führt.

Die benachbarten Länder tun ihr Bestes, sich einige der Wunder Zorins abzuschauen, sind jedoch auf einem sehr unterschiedlichen Stand. Als grobe Daumenregel gilt wohl: Je weiter weg von Zorin, desto weniger Fortschritt darin.

Neben dieser technologischen Komponente gibt es eine meist unterschwellige Magie, die in allen Teilen der Welt mitschwingt. Oft ungesehen oder unverstanden von menschlichen Augen existieren verschiedenste magische Geschöpfe, die ich als Metaphern für größere Themen nutzen kann.

So ermöglicht die Welt der Entscheidungen es mir, für jeden Roman das passende Setting zu wählen.
