Yeah you are right on that but there still are many backdoors on plenty of applications that are made by American companies. We also know that some agencies wanted to put backdoors on linux kernel etc. In that case why would you not trust an open source app, and trust a closed source one just because of the nationality of developers

I mean the same thing can be said about the USA, also if there are that many problems why don’t you just check the code, it’s one of the main strengths of open source software.

Man there is a night and day difference between the comments here and on phoronix, what is their problem?

It actually recommends using nix-env -i, which is even worse because with that command it searches the whole repository instead of just getting the correct attribute on nixpkgs. It takes half a minute to run the command, it’s insane.

Next you want to rewrite everything in Rust.

Ave, true to Caesar.

Land of the free baby.

If you really want the latest updates and technologies, you could use openSUSE or plain Arch. I heard Manjaro intentionally delays updates and I think in a rolling release cycle that would hurt the system. No idea about the size of repos on openSUSE but the other features are already there. Also if you think you can spend some more time to learn new things(nix programming language and more) I can recommend you to try NixOS or at least install the package manager( also called nix) on your current system. It is THE distro for reproducible builds. It has a huge repo too, rivaling AUR.

I use Arch btw.

Or as I like to call it GNU+Linux.

It’s stuck with me forever because of playing Fallout New Vegas for hundreds of hours.

Off topic but that one answer on superuser looks a lot like it was AI generated.

Paying for the product isn’t enough for them, you are still the product.

Just create a new partition, then in your home folder or somewhere else idk, create a folder and choose that as mount point.

Well, even when using X11 I preferred manually toggling my touchpad, but usually my mouse stays plugged for more than a few days so even then it doesn’t bother me that much to just toggle it once a week maybe. Not to invalidate the problem, it’s just how my experience is with wayland currently.

Off topic but your username looks different in my inbox. It says Nate here but in my inbox is says alphapuggle. Btw I’m using eternity for lemmy might be a bug on the app.

And apex legends started randomly banning Linux users again, how hard is it to fix the game that earns them millions of dollars every year? Unbelievable.

Yeah I can’t play rainbow 6 siege since I switched to Linux but I’m staying strong. Fuck ubisoft. And fuck my friends for trying to make me go back to windoz.

On the other hand, it takes only four letters and hitting enter for me to update everything installed on my pc so not that hard to memorize a few commands.

Depending on the game you might play it just fine, but it’s hit or miss atm.
