This is incredibly troubling; I cannot see myself ever using Wordpress going forward. It is just too risky.

Very exciting, especially to see Moungi receive the Nobel. He is such a hardworking, humble, and honest person.

The problem is actually much worse for topical drugs, where there is often very little information as to the how, where, when, and how much of drug permeation through the skin. It’s a huge gap in our understanding not just for brand name drugs but for generics as well.

Thank you for posting this. This captures something that I had trouble putting into words.

As someone who started using Reddit back in 2006 pre-Digg migration, this is probably one the best explanations of the immense loss I have felt in experiencing Reddit change over the past decade and a half. All the parts I enjoyed were pushed to the periphery, and while you could still find "villages" there, the bulk of the experience was "just passing through". This isn't a "get off my lawn" sentiment, it's about what value you place on the places you inhabit, whether in person or online. Whether I kept returning to Reddit out of habit or because I was still looking for that old experience almost doesn't matter, because it's not there anymore.

I made the same move a few years ago and honestly never looked back. Manjaro might have its warts, but it works really well, has an active community, and gives almost all the advantages of Arch (the AUR is amazing!) for "cowards" like me. Manjaro "just worked" and it has been extremely easy to roll with the updates since install. I have since migrated other machines to Manjaro happily.

This is very exciting to see. I invested in several System76 machines for my team, and have been extremely happy with the computers and distribution. Coming to Pop_OS! from Ubuntu has been wonderful - systems upgrade properly, external devices work, and my team is productive. It reminds me of when I first started to use Mac OS X - things just work. The current Gnome/COSMIC is slick and I am looking forward to using their new COSMIC DE when it comes out.

I set up Linux on a Dell XPS 13 with the HiDPI screen. With both Ubuntu and Manjaro it was relatively painless, especially using GNOME via Wayland. i3 and sway also worked well too. I had heard a lot of issues with Linux and HiDPI, and was worried I would have to return/swap for a FHD screen, but everything has worked almost flawlessly.

I agree. In the last ten years I have had Macbooks, a Surface tablet, a Surfacebook, and am now on a XPS 13. I found that Microsoft's surfaces had great build quality, IMHO on par or better than the Apple laptops. Like the author of the article, though, what did them in was Windows. I switched to an XPS developer edition and have not looked back. Don't get me wrong - macos is pretty, but Linux makes coding and data science easy. I also ended up using PopOS, which I found to give an extremely good user experience. Perhaps I am too much of an old school 90's Linux guy, but I still find having a single repo system for 99% of my needed software amazing. I don't think I'll ever get tired of apt-get.

I did this and it was smooth sailing. All I had to do was set the hard drives from RAID to ACHI in the BIOS.

> Wayland is really slow

I have to wonder if this is distribution dependent? On Manjaro my experience with Wayland has been fantastic. I cannot perceive any speed differences vs X.org; Wayland just flies.

It would be interesting to poll users and see just what factors are contributing to speed issues. GPU? CPU? Distribution? Wlroots vs Gnome? etc. Learning more about what users experience could be helpful in making Wayland better. Has anyone done this?

Exciting, but let's see how long this takes to be released (not to insiders). I was excited when WSL 2 was announced, but it took almost a year to be released to stable. I had immediate needs that WSL 1 couldnt meet, and I could not run Insiders builds in my environment.

By the time WSL 2 actually was out, I had migrated completely to Linux. I'll keep checking MS progress here, but in many ways they already lost me and many others.

Same here. I have a VM ready to go in case I need Windows. I just checked and last used it in April... Maybe it's time to delete that VM.

If this is an issue, try using Wayland instead of X11. I run PopOS on a similar setup and it works flawlessly under Wayland. Give PopOS a try, you won't be disappointed!

Edit: there was no configuration needed. I selected Wayland from the menu and it just worked right out of the box. No bells and whistles, just a great desktop experience.
