Nothing Else Matters

It already is GNOMEd, this is just flatpak dependencies

People are so hateful towards Windows these days. I hated Windows when it was “good”, but don’t anymore because I don’t use it or actively check on what changes Microsoft make, it’s kinda surprising that the hate became so mainstream and I only learn from media on why that is the case.

This could open a can of worms if you talk to somebody outside of the liberal bubble, no matter how obvious it seems. Right wingers can literally feel it’s harmful as they believe it can affect their children sexuality or cause degeneration when non-normative relationships are being showed publicly. others believe it would be ok, but strongly oppose LGBT activism, which to be honest in parts I oppose too while being gay myself

Sort of bad that we never tell newbies what to base their distro choice upon, but rather just tell them what we personally like.

Maybe the installer ease of use is an important factor, buy not the most. Nobody explains the biggest difference which is how up-to-date the stack is (conservative base vs. rolling base) and that the choice of the DE is even more important choice than the distro. How come that pre-installed NVIDIA drivers are selling point even when their version is behind?

I’m baffled on how many people recommend something like Nobara, just because they preinstall a ton stuff, while it’s just a hobby project with Discord server. Maybe they improved it now, but not so long ago it was very very bad at handling updates, so the system was super easy to install, but very difficult to keep in shape over time. Even if they fixed it now, this is NOT an established system that has proven over time that you can rely on it.

In case of LTT, the choice should really be immediately cut down to just Fedora or Arch with Cachy or Endeavour as an options for “easier” Arch and Plasma as the desktop.

It’s also a pointless package formats that rivals much better and more adopted format that is Flatpak

Just in the right moment when windows got so reliable and safe /s

Unless it’s in “D” state, then Linux be like “fine, you can annihilate the mf, but there are unfinished IO operations on the now disconnected NFS storage, so… maybe let’s just wait?”

“My” PC

This! They say Steam isn’t technically any better, but it has so much secret sauce comparing to something like Galaxy, such as Linux port, proton, workshop, steam input among other things

My usual approach when trying Debian on a desktop or workstation: if I have to install a single package from testing or sid, fuck this and just use Arch or Fedora.

It boils down to D3D12 being slower on NVIDIA on Linux and it’s a known issue. There is some work being done on this by NVIDIA and VKD3D-Proton, but I wouldn’t hold my breath knowing how long things take to improve on NVIDIA side. If you get good deal on RDNA2 or newer, it works incredibly well today.

Won’t work for me, just like anything immutable, because I rely on one DKMS driver for my motherboard PWM sensors. But the project itself is pretty cool

Don’t distrohop too much, at one point there won’t be much more to explore with other distros other than wallpapers and themes

No, not really. If it’s set up right, it pretty much just works. I use it on my work computer and never mess around with anything, just use it and sync packages every month or so.

Honestly a distro called Nobara was a huge let down for me compared to Arch. It was effortless to install and came out with cool tweaks, but in just 6 months of usage it randomly broke like 4 times, every time I was supposed to check their discord server to get info on what broke and how to fix it. From Plasma not loading and opening crash report window indefinitel, to bootloop with update screen, to experimental drivers being shipped causing hard GPU crashes. And this is recommended for newbies? I’d rather give preconfigured Arch (like CachyOS) to newbie than this.

Fedora’s almost rolling though

Yeah, I’m normally an Arch guy, but gave Fedora with KDE a shot when I bought Framework. It’s pretty sweet, does everything I want and never bothers me

• Resolved an issue that caused Linux clients to display two titlebars.

And we still fall into stupid issues like this thanks to GNOME bias towards CSDs

Yeah, but we know that Linux people would cheer and praise those games if Linux support was suddenly added

Or even worse, a dialog window opens locking the rest of the application but it’s under other windows for some reason and I’m like wtf
