fellow noun->verb user :)

helix superiority however.

iirc wood was used by the chinese for their heat shield’s ablator or something?

waydroid (if you don’t install a wayland based de)

The statistic isn’t saying that 50% of Linux gamers use steam, it’s saying that Linux gamers are ~1/2 as likely to use steam for games when compared to gamers on other platforms. these are very different things.

~50% of Linux gamers using steam is only true if you assumed every gamer on the other platforms used steam

btw i hate the term ‘gamer’ but it’s just convenient to use here :(

so a disproportionately large amount (2x) of Linux gamers don’t use steam? that doesn’t sound right to me with how good steam is on Linux

wow that sounds so handy, thanks

debian packages will work on debian based distros usually, etcetc

fedora calls their kedoras and ludoras “spins”, but I haven’t used fedora so can’t say how good they are

basically there’s the big 3 (debian, arch, fedora) and everything else is just them with presets (ui, drivers, etc)

debian uses apt, arch uses pacman, fedora uses dnf for packaging, so packages (app executables) aren’t intercompatible and so you usually have some apps that aren’t available on on or the other

usually debian had everything, arch has everything with workarounds, idk about fedora

anyway the tree is like:

debian

• ubuntu
  • kubuntu
  • lubuntu

fedora

• nobara

arch

• manjaro

with DEs you should see which ones you like by testing them out, if you get the debian netinstaller you can select however many you want in the install process and you can switch between them at boot with the dropdown menu in the login prompt

Honestly build quality matters more than specs if you’re not gaming in my opinion, that’s why old thinkpads are so popular

I personally got burned by a shitty modern laptop because I only looked at the specs and nothing else

I’m talking about things like:

• chassis sturdiness
• laptop foot grippiness
• hinge quality
• touchpad quality/has trackpoint
• battery longevity (very important)
• display colour accuracy/viewing angles
• keyboard tactility/travel/flex

These things are harder to research but they’re imo way more important than specs

could you elaborate on why?

It’s really disappointing seeing Russian contributors being disrespected like this, the regime that rules Russia wasn’t entirely their fault, and allegiance, nationality, and ethnicity are all clearly different things

Also, wouldn’t a state sponsored Russian hacker pretend to be from the US or something anyway? No way they’d contribute code as a Russian, that’d just increase others’ suspicion

I agree with Linus a lot too but I strongly disagree here. I hope he’s just being made to say this because of government policies

ig support is a big issue but I use sway on old computers and it runs really smooth

I get that you might want to stick to your favorite desktop though

what issues are you having on wayland? I run nvidia+intel and it’s completely fine (way faster on old machines too)

wtf does the article mean by 5G wwan chips being necessary for AI?

texas is unsuccessful then, and as a result the US is an unsuccessful country?

I don’t like many things about the US but I wouldn’t call the country itself unsuccessful

people won’t follow you to the new platform if you seem dumb

you could make 4 Google accounts and compress the data into 4 encrypted files, and upload them each to their Google account (they have 25gb max)

pretty sure the msi pro -a z690/z790 has coreboot support (12/13/14th gen Intel)

op should try postmarketos /s

no it’s not?

you can see the axes and op even mentions that it’s a 5% drop

the graph is clearly just fitted to the data
