@mhakimk @WindowsCentral I agree, minimum 16gb if you are doing general office work. If you do any real large model crunching 32gb.

@MrElectron91 @WindowsCentral Yup, even at 8GB windows 11 felt sluggish. Would never recommend 4GB for windows 11.

👀Windows 11 beats Ubuntu 26.04 LTS in system requirements? Windows 11 now requires less RAM and CPU than Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, and we're still processing that. For years, the narrative has been “Linux is lighter,” but the latest Ubuntu minimum specs flip that script completely. A 6GB RAM / 2GHz dual‑core requirement for Ubuntu vs. 4GB / 1GHz for Windows 11 is not the comparison we expected in 2026. Whether it’s a sign of Linux getting heavier or Windows getting leaner, it raises a bigger question: what does “lightweight OS” even mean anymore? (1/2)

@Ikennect I had an IT job 2 years before my license. Took a bus to work.

Did you get your first job or your license first? I had my first job a couple of years before my license

@Photomusicrock I'll be seeing them in a few weeks at DEPAC. Looking forward to the show!

Steve Vai on Tour with Joe Satriani, SatchVai Band 2026! Hydra guitar is back onstage!

@LundukeJournal You can always roll back to a legacy version if you really need it to run on really old silicon.

A lot of people are upset about Linux dropping 486 support. Shoot. I’m still salty about losing 386 support.

@dom_lucre This is historically how Iran fights wars. hiding behind civilians.

🔥🚨BREAKING: Iranians have formers a Human Chain on the White Bridge in Ahvaz, Iran to shield the bridge from President Trump after he threatened to destroy all Bridges and Power Plants in Iran.

@robinmonotti A Photoshopped image?

Iran just posted this image of the remains of the F-15. Trump says the pilot was rescued. One of them is lying. Look carefully. What do you see?

@LundukeJournal Ubuntu is a pig. Snap, malware, and higher resources. These are my reasons for leaving it for the Arch distros.

Ubuntu Now Has Higher System Requirements Than Windows As of this month, Ubuntu Linux requires 2X the CPU speed and 50% more RAM than Windows 11.

@MattWallace888 Someone important is not long for this world....

Just got word that all of the following people suffered medical emergencies simultaneously and are all currently at Walter Reed Medical Center: Kamala Harris Nancy Pelosi Chuck Schumer Hakeem Jeffries Elizabeth Warren Bernie Sanders AOC Cory Booker Amy Klobuchar Pete Buttigieg Gavin Newsom Gretchen Whitmer JB Pritzker Josh Shapiro Andy Beshear Raphael Warnock John Fetterman Chris Murphy Ilhan Omar Rashida Tlaib Jamie Raskin Adam Schiff Eric Swalwell Maxine Waters Hillary Clinton Bill Clinton Barack Obama Michelle Obama Al Gore John Kerry Andrew Cuomo Kathy Hochul Tim Walz Joe Biden Kyrsten Sinema

@Itsfoss Nope. I no longer trust any VPN and really have little interest in AI.

Asking the right question... Can a free VPN and AI offering resurrect the Firefox browser? itsfoss.com/opinion/firefo…

@ThomasSowell Gee.. I officially carried the title "Scientist" for 15 years.. Without a degree! If you do science and are successful at it. Particularly with a degree in Physics, You are indeed a Scientist!

AOC: "Elon Musk is not a scientist. He is not an engineer. He is a billionaire con man with a lot of money."

@Tekeee Ok, first turn so devices off. Unplug your chargers when not in use. Power bill is way high. 260 for Internet? I pay $70 for gigabit fiber. Learn some marketable skills. A IPC certified soldering tech makes at least $35 an hour with no college degree.

Explain to me how im supposed to pay; $1,650 rent $270 power $100 water $260 internet $120 car insurance EVERY MONTH while making less than $20 an hour???

@robertgraham Yep, that is why i switched to an old school Brother Laser printer. HP was killing my ability to navigate the ink cartridge obstacles. Oh you can sign up but they may not have the cartridge in stock when you really need it.

Don't buy printers from HP, like ever. It's an ink mafia. The best reputation for not trying to screw you is Brother printers.

@nalinrajput23 The rechargeable ones don't fit well, fall out and are too expensive. I always have used wired headphones and if they break i buy another $20 set... Or resolder the wires if i really like the set.

why is everyone suddenly into wired earphones?

@jondelarroz Worth the watch. They at least make an effort to follow the laws of physics, though not always perfect. I agree that the end left too many unfinished story threads.

I saw a listicle that showed The Expanse as one of the best sci-fi series of all time. I never watched it because the authors joined a cancel mob against me and were pricks. Is it actually that good?

@dom_lucre Liberals are so effing racist.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: This liberal florida Doctor sporting a man bun uploaded this footage snapping on Fort Lauderdale police after they told him not to get hit by a car after he got his vehicle towed for allegedly not having a tag. Doctor: “We out here trying to fight ICE and here go this Hispanic douc*e bag treats me like a Gringo.”

@tecmint I only reboot if an update requires a reboot which is very rare.

Do you reboot your Linux system regularly or almost never?

@davepl1968 I have been running Linux about 25 years. The only app that I require Windows is my tax software. Everything else either runs on Linux Wine or there is an equivalent Linux application. I do heavy electronics engineering design and simulation. Linux punches above Windows weight.

1) Because modern Windows has lost its way 2) Because Windows is like pizza. When it's good, it's great. When it's bad, it's still better than nothing at all. On the desktop, it's 90% about the top-tier Windows applications. For now, the only practical alternative is MacOS, and you'll still need a Windows box some days. Unless and until the apps are available on Linux, it remains a great back-end system.

@Mikeggibbs We are spoiled with the SpaceX Starlink quality.

Can anyone explain why the video quality from Integrity is so poor? This is awful video quality...is this temporary? #Artemis2

@theLedewire @MarioNawfal The algorithms are designed to feed you what they want you to hear, then convince you that it is what you want to hear.

@MarioNawfal Isn't this how social media works too? All of these algorithms are designed to feed you what you want to hear.

🚨MIT researchers have mathematically proven that ChatGPT’s built-in sycophancy creates a phenomenon they call “delusional spiraling.” You ask it something, it agrees. You ask again, and it agrees even harder until you end up believing things that are flat-out false and you can’t tell it’s happening. The model is literally trained on human feedback that rewards agreement. Real-world fallout includes one man who spent 300 hours convinced he invented a world-changing math formula, and a UCSF psychiatrist who hospitalized 12 patients for chatbot-linked psychosis in a single year.
