Stay with ubuntu unless you have an issue with ubuntu itself, because the grass isn’t greener on the other side despite what some people might say. The only real difference that you’ll find are different default settings/programs and the time it takes for a software update to reach your final linux install.

Some distros like Ubuntu prefer slightly older versions that have been proven to be stable/bug free while others like Arch mostly go for the newest everything where available, at the cost of stability. If you like something a little bit more balanced, you have Fedora (which is my preference).

The beauty of Linux is that most software will work no matter the distribution you use. If the reason you want to use Linux Mint instead of regular Ubuntu is the desktop environment, you can at any time install the Cinammon desktop (the one used by Mint), here’s an article that guides you through the process: https://itsfoss.com/install-cinnamon-on-ubuntu/

Reposting the link from another comment on here, there is a PR to build the flatpak from source https://github.com/flathub/com.bitwarden.desktop/pull/222

And hitting high memory pressure is really not fun on Linux (on Fedora at least), it simply locks up and slows down to a crawl and does nothing for minutes until the oom killer finally kills the bad program. I’ve kind of solvd this by installing a better oom killer on my laptop, but my desktop was easy: buy 32GB of additional ram for like 90$: problem solved

Meanwhile the electron app you’re trying to run

You should probably check their Reddit, I’ve seen many people complaining about the shipping, longevity and customer support. I don’t know how much of it is substantiated but still, some research can’t hurt

Does anyone know if the suspend fixes are also valid for 1000 series GPUs? Ive had trouble putting my computer to sleep for the past few months and it’s been really annoying. Also if someone know if this fixes Firefox stuttering like crazy since the 555 driver, and it’s worse when playing videos on YouTube. I’m on Wayland gnome

This could actually make Samsung dex/desktop mode actually useful

It does it both enabled and disabled if I remember correctly

Does anyone know if they plan on fixing the drop down menus in the steam UI being nearly unusable on Linux? I’ve seen some people complain about this issue but not sure if they acknowledge it

The last time I used arch it worked fine for 6 months then it needed to be scrapped because the network fully stopped working after an update. I’ve been on fedora ever since without a single issue. Arch is fine for personal devices where you can afford to spend half a day on troubleshooting a package that is too recent and straight up doesn’t work because there’s no real testing being done. I wouldn’t put it on a work device simply because it’s not a just works distro

No, but some are better suited for programming, because each distro has different packages in their repositories. I find Fedora to be very good when it comes to having basically every dev tool available in their repos. Arch is good too but too unstable for actual work. But keep in mind in most distros you can add separate repositories that contains the software you want. You can also use Homebrew that contains lots of dev tools as well

It depends for the translation speed, if they only make a single device, they can likely do what apple does and improve their translation layer (FEX) to use specific instructions of the CPU they are using. Apples Rosetta is very efficient at what it does

It’s a shame that snaps are forced to use Canonicals closed source backend because they are really good, and a fully snap system is a very compelling idea for immutable systems

Been working fine for me on 130 beta

From experience, most apps/packages that are compiled for Linux are compiled for both x86 and arm. I’ve had no real issues getting software on my OnePlus 6 running on postmarket os (full Linux os on a phone basically). This is very likely because ARM is a thing in the server space, so most packages in your distros repositories will be compiled for all architectures (and that’s if it’s not required by the distro’s repos to have the two supported).

Other software ftom outside the repos where linux was already a second class citizen like discord or Spotify may be troublesome though

Hijack the power cable and solder it to a battery while you move it

Good question, I will check after work if steam starts in the background or something, I’ve had some issues with steam in the past so what you’re saying could make sense…

We might pay some of the most expensive internet in the world in Canada but at least we can’t fault them for providing an unstable or unperformqnt service. Download llama models is where 1gbps really shines, you see a 7GB model? It’s done before you are even back from the toilet. Crazy times.

I had this theory since I got some new usb periphs relatuvelu recently, but that was not the issue
