I game on Linux lol
is it even noticeable beyond 100hz when not gaming
Actually yes, honestly it’s most noticeable when moving your mouse or dragging windows around. It’s insanely smooth.

My old monitor was 165hz and I didn’t expect the jump to be noticeable, but it actually was. It’s definitely well beyond the point of diminishing returns (120 is fine imo), but it’s still a nice upgrade.
For sure, if I was in the market for a laptop, System76, Tuxedo, and (while not exclusively Linux) Framework would be at the top of my list
For general PC hardware though, I’ve always been late to the party. I upgraded to Ryzen 3000 right before 5000 was coming out, so hardware support was already perfect on Linux. That’s basically been my upgrade strategy for the past 10 years, so I’ve personally never really encountered these teething problems before now.
adding in support for end user hardware is an accident and requires extra effort on hardware makers’ part who don’t always rise to the challenge when they don’t believe it’s profitable enough for the effort; in which case, volunteers have to step in to fill the gap.
That’s really the crux of the problem. How can we make companies care and/or better support volunteers to get patches out sooner.
I yearn for Fedora
When CPUs were a lot slower you could genuinely get noticeable performance improvements by compiling packages yourself, but nowadays the overhead from running pre-compiled binaries is negligible.
Hell, even Gentoo optionally offers binary packages now.
That’s easy, just pick btrfs, gnome, pipewire, systemd, gdm, grub, and add flatpak in your additional packages.
Every other configuration is wrong.
Now imagine the same meme but with Gentoo and LFS
Fedora/dnf makes installing additional desktops super easy, also with no risk to data. To hijack your comment a bit:
To install Plasma: sudo dnf install @kde-desktop
Logout and log into the Plasma session to use it.
To rollback, get the transaction ID of the above: dnf history list
And then rollback: sudo dnf history rollback <ID>
If Gnome’s fonts/icons don’t revert, install and open gnome-tweaks and reset settings.
Yeah if you’re looking for a traditional/Windows-like metaphor, you’re WAY better off with Plasma than trying to wrestle Gnome into that shape.
Definitely worth a try, especially if it’s been a few years since you’ve last played with it.
I’m amazed by the level of polish overall, I’ve encountered very little jankiness that used to be super common with Plasma when I last tried it. Plasma feels like a really mature desktop now, which is awesome. I’m running Plasma 6.2 at the moment, and I think 6.3 is right around the corner as well.
My problems so far are more subjective. Gnome may be a very opinionated desktop, but I happen to agree with most of its opinions. Gnome’s workspaces feature is miles better than Plasma’s virtual desktops, which feel tacked on in comparison. I’m still trying to tinker with this to make it work for me, but honestly this seems like the thing that will push me back to Gnome if I don’t find a workflow I like.
KDE obviously has more features overall though, HDR support happens to be the one that I’m interested in at the moment since I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a new monitor.
Ironically most of my customization so far has been to make it more like Gnome lmao
Still trying to figure out how to make workspaces/virtual desktops more…usable.
Overall though it’s amazing how solid Plasma is now, it sure as hell isn’t the buggy mess it used to be in the earlier Plasma 5 days.
Ubuntu in Nobody (slightly nsfw), great movie too.
It checks all the boxes. Pinging some random IP, checking their python version, installing pip updates, the output of ls -l /etc
, all in a virtualbox VM. Clearly a professional hacker. /s
Same here. I really enjoy Nonagon Infinity but haven’t been able to get into any other album of theirs.
Madeon - Good Faith
I adore Madeon’s first album, Adventure. I knew Good Faith would be different and I was really looking forward to it anyway, and it when it finally came out, it just never clicked with me. It’s an album I come back to probably once per year to try it again, but I just don’t vibe with it. It’s an album I respect a lot, but I just don’t like it.
Justice - Hyperdrama
Still a pretty new release admittedly. That opening track is one of Justice’s best ever songs, but the rest of the album just isn’t grabbing me. I’m hoping it’ll grow on me over time.
To twist your question a bit: The Glitch Mob - Ctrl Alt Reality
Another case of an artist moving in a totally different direction, and when I first listened to it, I didn’t like it. Similar feelings to Good Faith. But then I listened to it again. Then again. Then again. There wasn’t a sudden moment where it clicked, it just got better with every listen. It’s probably my second favorite album of theirs now.
And to twist your question even more. I thought I would dislike: Muse - Will of the People
I’ve been in the camp of “modern Muse isn’t that bad” for a while, but there’s clearly been a downward trend. Even I cannot defend Simulation Theory. I expected WOTP to be more of the same, and somehow I ended up loving it. It is maximum Muse cheesiness, in the best way possible.
i’m on a diet, i’ll just take the crackers
sudo eat | grep -v "Chocolate Cream"
Early release is a nice surprise, especially after F40 (or was it 39?) got delayed so many times. Upgrade went smooth for me, upstream accent colors are nice to finally have. Kind of a bummer it doesn’t apply to Nautilus icons though.
Oh wow, I never realized that was an option. Fixed, thanks!
I also just noticed I got the percentage in the meme wrong. Oops.
Linux is now at 4.55% desktop marketshare (up from <1% in early 2018).
Linux’s desktop marketshare has risen by ~350-400%, not 3.5-4%.
EDIT: reuploaded with corrected value
Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wifi7
I tend to avoid Gigabyte, but the only stock of 9800X3Ds available was in motherboard bundles on Newegg, so I ended up with it lol
I also noticed that Bluetooth still isn’t working, so I am still waiting for 100% compatibility.
