> 5. Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the users self-expression.
Let the decorations be decorations and art be art, while the tools we use to observe or create those other things should be instantly transparent extensions of the user.
I strongly disagree. Anything with an aesthetic is to some degree art. The territory of the world's objects does not strongly conform to a map drawn in black and white.
Sounds like the audio device going to sleep during periods of silence, then taking a short time to wake up again when audio is played. Maybe to avoid hiss?
For a data point of 1, my laptop does this regardless of OS.
I had the same experience, watching a nature documentary on a streaming service recently. It was... not so good, at least at the beginning. I was wondering if this was a pilot for AI generated content on this streaming service.
Actually, it came out in 2015 and was just low budget.
I've been dual booting Bazzite and Zorin for the last month it's been working out well. I didn't really like Bazzite as a daily driver, but it worked better for gaming.
I admit didn't spend a lot of time with it, but right after installing it, I needed to work on a project with Platform.io in VSCode. What was a 10 minute process in Zorin (mainly due to not using Flatpaks) didn't work out after over an hour in Bazzite.
Also, Bazzite takes over 2 minutes to boot, while Zorin takes less than 20 seconds.
I'm pretty new to Linux as a daily driver, and need a stable base that I'm familiar with for my non-gaming daily work, and Bazzite isn't that for me yet. On the other hand, Bazzite just worked out of the box for gaming, better than Zorin did.
I have a big enough SSD to split the partition and let each distro do its best work for me.
Bazzite is naturally a bit slower to boot compared to other distros due to the things it bundles in and the ostree system, but 2 minutes is unusually long.
On my 3.5yr old ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1 with the stock SSD, if takes exactly 34 seconds to cold boot to the full desktop (KDE) from the boot menu (I have enabled auto-logon), which I find acceptable. Warm boot is 30 seconds.
So there might me something odd about your setup. Are you using nVidia by any chance?
As for VScode, I'm not familiar with platform.io but you really want to be using dev containers. On uBlue distros, Distrobox makes this easy. Just follow the guide here: https://distrobox.it/posts/integrate_vscode_distrobox/
The color of the screens is related to the phosphor used to coat the back of the screen, which is excited to glow by the electron beam. According to wiki, amber was used as an "eye-friendly" ergonomic color for similar reasons we use blue blocking filters today.
