The S23 too was Snapdragon only, allegedly to let the Exynos team catch some breath and come up with something competitive for the following generation. Which they partly did, as the Exynos S24 is almost on par with its Snapdragon brother. A bit worse on photo and gaming performance, a bit better in web browsing, from the benchmarks I remember.

The container runs a virtual machine using the host kernel's KVM device. Windows is then automatically installed inside said virtual machine.

Ah, that makes more sense (and learned about KVM today, thank you.)

So more accurately, it's Windows in a VM, and the VM host running in a container.


You might find the StackOverflow surveys more representative: they crown Windows as the most used OS, with a solid margin.

They fixed that. I can definitely connect remotely in an unattended way as long as I'm logged in locally.

These might have something to do with it:

For RDP, you've got KRDP and gnome-remote-desktop.

That "with a running session" bit greatly helps here. While GDM allows you to have remote login and headless sessions [1], with SDDM you're locked out for the moment. There's plans to turn SDDM into a KDE-powered, more featured plasma-login-manager with KRDP integration, but no concrete development yet [2].

Last time I tried krdp, it didn't fit my needs. I needed to have already started krdp locally if I want to connect remotely. Neither x11vnc nor freerdp-shadow have that limitation.

It is possible to start it on-demand via the command-line. That is how krdp is developed and tested. You will need to pre-authorize krdp to the portal system, though.

That's documented here: https://develop.kde.org/docs/administration/portal-permissio...


Hah, that actually works, thanks!

Is it possible to do the permission-set remotely?


If you can shell in, I don't see why not? It's a command-line thing. It's intended to also be usable for things like Ansible. If it doesn't work, please file bug reports!

Since Plasma 6.1 (june 2024) you get a system settings module where you can enable KRDP to run at login.

(I assumed being logged in is what you meant by having "a running session".)


It also does (or at least used to) mess with dates, due to it attempting to hide what time zone you're in.

The browser should reasonably know what time zone you're in and what time zone you're reporting to the website and translate between them automatically.

Yeah, "should". Too bad it's unfeasible. As soon as you e.g. print the current date as part of a paragraph somewhere, the browser loses track of it, and the website can just read the element's content and parse it back.

Support for rendering directly at the target resolution has been there for years, at least in major compositors such as KDE's KWin and GNOME's Mutter.

Local processing of privacy-sensitive data, that is: personal files and what is shown on screen. Just think about Recall.


Not mentioned: overtly vulgar in language.


At least those cars exhibited some kind of aesthetic merit, albeit of opinable taste. Most of these pileups of stickers are just an incoherent mishmash of corporate trademarks and political orientation signals. They only share the attention grabbing attitude.

I expected better from the title.
