I use Arch based distros btw.
I didn’t mention Windows because I don’t remember any serious workstations using it. PCs did become good enough but it still wasn’t the professional workstation level. Though if we’re talking about computing in general, Windows has been the king ever since 95 or even 3.0.
Unix was paid (at least for source code), Linux was free and Mac was easy to use. Any questions?
Yes but why now exactly? The only reason I see is GitHub but it’s not their competitor at all.
Why are they focusing on privacy now though? It’s always been private.
Way to go, Smith!
The “right to preserve fertility” is kind of a weird and wrong reason here but the intention and the implementation are great so still good enough. Letting minors make decisions like that is crazy and stupid. I’d say the legal age of adulthood (18 in most countries) is not big enough nowadays for this particular kind of decisions but it’s a completely different story.
Nothing can be considered a lie without proof which you guys most likely don’t have.
I think it’s because more cutting-edge options are not anywhere near as easy to set up and use.
Also visit flatpak.org for more information about how stable distros get around the old packages issue.
Ok Wayland shill.
Ok so it’s basically a yet another point of fragmentation. Nice.
How is it different to runit or openrc?
What’s the point of removing NVENC support for Kepler? Is there a CVE in old drivers or something?
I saw some Reddit posts claiming AMD being not optimized for Linux particularly for arch related distros (I use EndeavourOS)
This is literally the other way around.
But in general it depends on the budget. Both Intel and AMD work perfectly on Linux. It’s more about the CPUs themselves. AMD is better in the budget category because of much more capable iGPUs and performance/price ratio but Intel is better in high end because of simply better technological advancement (as long as you can keep the chip cooler than 90°C).
But if it keeps working for a long time, like 6+ years, then I don’t mind investing.
I wouldn’t be so optimistic about modern laptops, especially ones with dedicated GPUs. They don’t live for more than 2-3 years without repairs.
Not only religion. Euthanasia is a very controversial thing in all ways. For example, a person with a terminal disease can decide to do it because of despair and in many countries courts will consider such decision illegitimate but the person would already be dead so it’s a very complicated situation.
It’s properly open-source that means objectively better than Floorp and it has a neat plugin/theme system.
I would think twice before using a service that implements any geoblocking.
Here we’re talking about PCs that can’t officially run Windows 11.
Imo the bcachefs drama is the fault of those who let the definitely not ready file system into the kernel builds. The developer is just making a file system and major updates that break stuff are to be expected on the current stage of development.
