Hey, Linux people: a LOT of folks are screaming off Windows right now.

Be. Kind. To. Them.

They don't know much yet, so they are going to ask really basic questions. If you're KIND, you might get some to give it a try and stick to it bc they know they can ask for help. If you're unkind, you're showing them using Linux will be worse than Windows. If you can't bring yourself to be kind, then SAY NOTHING. Let others pick up that slack.

This toot is to announce that I have officially divorced Microsoft. I was sick of how they always shared things about me without my permission, and made changes to our relationship without asking first. Then they brought a third party into our relationship and insisted that I rely on the new "person" for advice and help in everything. I tried to tell that "AI" "person" to go away, but they just kept appearing out of nowhere.

Anyway, I kicked them both out, and now I'm living with Linux, who is sweet and always asks for consent before we make any changes to how we live. Linux can do everything that Microsoft can do, and usually does it better. Linux can be a bit quirky, but is open to working things out and having productive conversations. I haven't felt this free in over 20 years.

Building Medley Interlisp from source has been dramatically faster since the past week or so: it now takes 1/3 of what it used to. I didn't modify the setup of my Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon box other than the usual system updates, and there were no recent major performance related changes to Medley.

I'm really happy but wonder about the source of the speedup. Perhaps some Linux kernel tweaks but my Mint release doesn't incorporate the bleeding edge.

That could work, and if I remember, I'll try it next time the touchpad doesn't initialize. Should be quicker than restarting.

I also wonder if hitting the Windows¹ key, then typing "tou" and hitting Enter to open the Mouse and Keyboard dialog. The touchpad can be disabled and re-enabled using the keyboard. That might be enough to get the computer to see the touchpad again.

[1] As I still think of it, even if #LinuxMint prefers Super, and other distros say Meta (which I like better as a name).

Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News show !

In this one, Microsoft discusses the future of Windows, and it sounds so bad that it could yet another chance for #Linux to grow very quickly, we have the release of #LinuxMint 22.2 beta, #Google removing Steam from Chrome OS, and a lot more !
