Soricidus posted:so ... a 10% price hike in order to shave a few seconds off startup times while drastically reducing storage capacity? sounds like the perfect decision for this computer whose main selling point is low price rather than high performance using separate physical drives still wins the most for performance. a system with a 500GB HD for user and temporary/log data and flash for OS & apps (with overflow balanced to the HD) could potentially see a big boost. I have separate system, user, and project drives on my old Mac Pro and it's quite fast. by far the biggest boost came from using separate drives (especially using an SSD for my projects drive). switching my system volume to a homebrew Fusion drive (CoreStorage logical volume spanning an HD and small SSD) sped things up too but not by as much, but it mostly helps reinstalls go a lot faster.

eschaton posted:and how much would a 500GB SSD add? that's what the $200 model includes. I think it just might increase the BoM a bit more than that. Thanks to things called "the cloud" and "streaming", I've gotten by with a 128 GB SSD on my laptop for ballpark five years, with 30-40 GB consumed by VMs and typically tens more gigabytes free. A base model device running Linux could easily ship with a 64 GB drive and never run out of space for typical users. (Windows is a different story, years of service packs & security updates in)

More or less this. If the endless has an SD slot they can also get additional storage for like $12 per 32gb. Also, it's good to be back.

James Baud posted:If they don't have internet please note the distinction between having any access to the internet at all and having a first-world fast permanent always-on connection either of these things makes downloads viable, but only one of them makes cloud storage and streaming viable i don't know what kind of connection the endless target market actually has, because i'm not involved with endless. i'm just pointing out that the endless target market does not include forums poster james baud, and therefore your requirements and constraints are not the requirements and constraints that endless were looking at when they decided what to make. i'm pretty sure they are aware of the existence of cloud services. i'm also pretty sure that the fact they bundle an offline copy of wikipedia on their computers says something about their expectations vis a vis the viability of cloud services for their target market.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:kde 5 added wayland support but i haven't been bothered to try it not really, it's coming along though i tried KDE 5 btw somehow they managed to go from violently ugly in kde 3 and kde 4 to actually really pretty in kde 5 it doesn't have anywhere near gnome's polish though like... gnome has ideas and executes them thoroughly. they might be rather bad ideas, but they at least stick to them kde 5's had a lick of paint but it's going to need some ux work that's more than skin deep. it's incredibly frustrating trying to discover how to do anything and a lot of options are worthless. like, for instance: how do i made the file manager display in List view by default? apparently it's not Control > Configure Dolphin, it's Control > Adjust View Properties. whereupon you're given an option to either apply your current view settings to All Of The Folders or set them to be the default. you have to actually set list view first, of course in gnome, you open the program called "Files" (the name Nautilus does not appear anywhere in the UI except maybe the About box), you go to its application menu in the top left of the screen (because you want to configure the app and not the folder you're looking at), click Settings, and right there is a dropdown to select the default mode want to turn the stupid menu bar off in Konsole (ugh)? well, you can turn it off once, but it'll keep coming back in every new one you launch like some sort of herpes outbreak. you have to, get this, switch the menu bar back on (because the option isn't available otherwise), go to Settings > Configure konsole, disable the "Show menubar by default" option, then turn the menu bar off. creating a new virtual desktop is just ... you couldn't make this poo poo up. you have to right click a completely invisible tiny little vertical sliver between the K icon and the window switcher to get an option to create another virtual desktop. or i guess you could add a widget to the desktop for managing them?? and then it lets you create one and they pop up on the taskbar and you're like oh. well why does this stupid loving widget need to exist and then you delete the widget and then you delete the new virtual desktop then try to recreate it in the space where a virtual desktop list used to be one second ago and then you go "oh, that's why. because everything in kde was written by autistic loving germans and i'm sure this makes absolutely perfect sense in their minds" the new indexing system runs a loving MySQL server in the background  but at least it doesn't bring the entire system to its knees like kde 4's nepomuk garbage apparently did. a database server is a particular kind of program though. it assumes it owns all of the resources on the system, and it also assumes it's assigned to a staff greybeard who will nanny it and wipe the drool off its chin. idk how good an idea it is to silently run an honest to god database server (which mysql thinks it is, apparently) in a desktop environmentthe mail client is poo poo and is a ux fail in all sorts of ways and i can't even be bothered to list all of its failure so alright, it looks pretty and i can actually have my loving taskbar back as a first class citizen. shame about everything else though. i think i'll stick with gnome 3 and its fail-rear end way of managing virtual desktops which is supposed to be the entire point of gnome 3 *presses Super+Up a whole bunch and flies away on trail of own farts*
