The problems is what constitutes as politics is very different to different people. Is a gay man posting about his relationship with his husband political?

What does “experimental color management” mean? Is that HDR support?

Can anyone expand on that?

What is the rest of the text for the bottom one? I must know

Man I really want to see that VRR patch merged in, even if it still takes a flag to turn on.

With KDE having VRR and now HDR it feels like the choice you have to make if you are gaming on Linux. I prefer Gnome generally so I would like to see them catch up.

Everyone seems shocked when Arch breaks but it’s been my experience with Arch as well. Literally on an old laptop I was basically using for web browsing I had Arch break several times randomly after updates. That was enough for me to give up on it.

Accusing the poster of astroturfing is extremely toxic and warrants revision on your part.

I liked Unity - they were doing so much customization to Gnome that it made sense for them to have their own DE.

Why would you ever think it was a meme distro? Red Hat has been around forever.

Using this right now. It’s been a little less stable then I’ve heard other people claim, I had about a day and half where I was consistently freezing up 5 minutes after login. After that was patched it has been fine.

The real test for me is if I can walk away from it for 3 weeks and update the system without the world exploding. That was what always broke Arch for me.

I haven’t used it personally but I’ve seen a lot of folks bad mouthing Manjaro.

Lots of complaints of instability and it being poorly run project. One of the more objective complaints I’ve read is they have a slower release process so security fixes take longer then Arch.

Maybe I am not average but I blow past 300 pretty easily. I also think you may underestimating how much people search on their phones.

Devils advocate here, but what makes Ubuntu a great gateway distro nowadays?

When Ubuntu came out it had a graphical installer and UI improvements allowed users to do more without the terminal. I feel like at some point other distros caught up and Unity was the unique selling point. Then canonical became more focused on the server and killed Unity. I am not sure what is the selling point of Ubuntu as a desktop in 2024.

This all comes from my personal experience of Ubuntu being my main distro for 10+ years. But when I started distro hoping I realized there wasn’t much difference between Ubuntu and other distros nowadays.

It’s very reasonable to implicit read that meaning into the question. Like if I am at a dinner table and ask “how is the turkey” I reasonably understand that only the people who are eating the turkey would answer. I don’t have to say, “for those of you who are eating turkey and have taken a bit, how is the turkey”. This is doubly true for social media where everything is a mass broadcast.

After trying out Nix as a package manager I realized I have a pretty different world view than the makers of Nix. I agree with the end goal but how they are trying achieve it is just alien to me. The nix command line is just downright user hostile.

I am personally hoping that someone else takes a stab at the Nix concept but have accepted Nix isn’t for me.

If you are ready to do some reading I’d recommend ZFS over traditional raid. ZFS makes more guarantees then traditional about file integrity over time.

macOS has a pretty nice built in keyboard rebind for keys like cmd.

It’s pretty manageable if you can choose to manually clear it after copying something sensitive.

TIL, thanks for sharing

I am your nemesis, I inevitably dirty several containers trying to find the right size.

We can fight when I am done doing the dishes.

Jeez that is nasty. What project was it?

It looks interesting, I am not opposed to paying for search but I feel like the bar works high for me to continue to pay for it.

What makes it better then other search engines?
