The big picture...

For all it's worth, is disheartening to see how people focus to much at particular parts of whats going on. This makes it harder for them to see how that particular situation actually plays out at the bigger.

There is an urgent need to see things as if they stand by themselves, and not as part of the bigger picture. If we keep fixing things as if they don't have interactions with other parts of the system, those solutions won't really be the solutions needed.

In order to bring solutions that actually work, the whole picture needs to be taken into account. There is to be understood, that sometimes the problem in one particular subject, can be traced to something somewhere else. And if you tackle and solve that issue, it would actually solve both problems. But for that, you have to take into account the whole system, and not only the parts that make the system.

There are problems that affect each part of the system without affecting other parts, and others that affect the system as a whole. That's why is important to really see what problems are systematic, and which ones aren't. If  not, the solutions that are applied won't be effective, and would not be the ones needed to actually do the job that's needed.

At the end, we need to understand that everything is interrelated.

Trying to solve everything as a free standing problem is a waste of time and resources. Why attack a single problem from different fronts, when it can be solved from a single one when all that is need to do so is taking the time to figure out what is the problem.

Yes, we should bring each problem to it's most basic parts. But we shouldn't lose the sight of the big picture.

Machenike and Linux Mint: quite a nice combo.

I've been using a Machenike L16A  with Linux Mint  as my daily driver for four months now, and I must admit that I'm impressed with how good the experience has been so far. The Machenike was recommended to me by a close friend about six months ago, since I told him that I was looking for a new laptop. He had bought one a while ago, and said that it was a solid machine. Not only that, Machenike laptops were quite a great value for the money since they are significantly cheaper than comparable laptops from the competitions. And to be honest, when I got my laptop i expected to be so, but not to the extent it has been so far. After four months, my laptop feels really snappy and the performance is just great. And since I upgraded to Linux Mint 22 Wilma, it only has gotten better. One of the areas where I see most improvement, in on the Bluetooth connectivity. It connects more consistently with the three Bluetooth headphone I use, and now I can see how much battery the headphones I...

Machenike L16A: a great value for the money.

I recently got a Machenike L16A to replace the HP laptop I've been using for about 4 years now, and it has been quite a good upgrade. The value for the price has been excellent, it has really felt like an upgrade. Specially going from 8Gb of RAM to 16Gb. I specially notice the better performance when at work, since I use a remote desktop. I simply don't see as much slowdowns on the same use. Most of the time, at work I've the remote desktop app, Firefox , Thunderbird , Spotify , or sometimes Rhythmbox , open at the same time and having 16Gb of RAM gives the performance I need since at time around 6-7Gb are used. I also feel the AMD Ryzen CPU has been quite an upgrade, since it has more cores and threads than the Intel CPU my HP laptop has. That makes for a better user experience. But, where I see the better user experience is on the keyboard, and display side of things. The keyboard keys got stuck often, making the track pad unusable and characters to repeat themselves. ...

Linux Mint 22.1 Xia: a solid point release.

It has been about a week since I upgraded to the Linux Mint 22.1 Xia,  and it has been one of the best point releases Linux Mint has had in a while. The change that has proven to have the most impact on me, as an user, is the ability to change the power setting on my laptop. I've seen a mayor battery life improvement when I set the power setting to power saving when not plugged in, and one of several hour. It has gone up from about 4 hours, to about 8 from a full battery charge. Other than that, it has been a great point release so far for my daily use. Now, I'm looking forward for Wayland to supersede X11 . And that's why I like Linux Mint, it give a modern OS that only changes things when necessary and it just works. It isn't at the bleeding edge of Linux, but I don't need to be at the bleeding edge. I just need at the system that just work.
