Yeah as if Nvidia never benefited a lot from open-source. So Vulkan isn’t open-source, who knows? Maybe go back to the days of fragmentation, kill portability.

You’re acting as if Nvidia, Microsoft, and Valve are related. Good luck to Microsoft making a new proprietary API besides DirectX, an already proprietary API. It would only show they haven’t learned anything from UWP. And Valve has always contributed to open-source because they don’t want to depend on Windows. You don’t recognize Steam Deck and SteamOS 3? You haven’t been here long enough to recognize LunarG.

If Nvidia decides to be hostile or selfish, nobody cares? Can’t we be wary of being exploited by companies?

Just say when you’re shilling, don’t spread misinformation with your own made up scenarios.

Well, gaming as a whole is likely just a blip to Nvidia nowadays. It doesn’t make them money anymore like it used to, data center is where most of the money flows in. It’s just that we’ll buy anything Nvidia sells so we’re basically guinea pigs for their public beta testing.

selection process because it wasn’t included in the “best linux distros 2023” search result

i just don’t do distrohopping, it’s a pointless venture imo. started with arch linux as my main desktop, never went back.

tried some things occasionally, but i already sunk the time learning all sorts of things that may not even exist in other distros, configuring my system and the DE (and other things like zsh and vim setup), so it’s just a waste of time honestly.

i’m thinking of using NixOS instead of Debian (what i used previously) for my upcoming server project though.

Just because some women do doesn’t mean you should mirror it, even more so when you are a public figure whose responsibility is to be a role model to others.

But do they have a varying degrees of suck?

I don’t really care if there’s a higher being, an afterlife, or otherwise.

I’m still scared of the idea of nihilism, but eventually I’ll have to prepare myself and at least do something that makes my existence worthwhile.

Not bad in my opinion.

I’d say it’s more of a revelation to me that sitting on the toilet seat itself for long periods causes hemorrhoids, than hemorrhoids being common in general.

I’ve been there for an hour a couple of times, I’ve never had it so I would never notice lol. I guess it’s time to avoid it altogether.

Still find it crazy when one company decides the internet’s fate and seems to act like they own the internet, simply because they have a huge ass market for the browser, search engine & site crawler.

This mentality is basically “fuck diplomacy, go monke”

Considering I have like 4 audio devices connected, I think using qpwgraph on top of pipewire+wireplumber I think is intended, especially since pipewire comes installed with wireplumber as pipewire’s defacto session manager on pacman.

The title really confused me at first.

I know, but did you ever ask what those packages are? Are they dependencies? Are the packages that broke came from Arch User Repository? Somehow, you immediately ruled out PEBKAC? I don’t know, you’re a Linux user, this stuff is pretty basic no? I don’t get the anti-fanboyism.

This is all I needed to check what Hyprland is about.

Also why do you need to distrohop?

I like the aggression on “fanboying Arch,” while there’s you cherry picking stuff when they’re literally mentioning git packages.

This I really agree with. I don’t think it has ever stopped them to use smaller title bars, even with the CSD.

You can make your computer your own. You bought it, you deserve control for it, you do not need a corporation to decide things for you.

The benefits of Linux is that you can simply multitask much better, and do things more efficiently. It’s honestly not the same and the two are just not comparable, but not everyone can appreciate or take advantage of that.

For an inexperienced person to set it up, of course it’s not that simple. Those that are comfortable with Windows find all of these benefits trivial over the perceived amount of effort to transition.

For an experienced person like me, Windows is much more of a nuisance to set up. I really like my setups clean, I just can’t stand how dirty Windows gets. To clean your system effectively, you’d have to reformat it. There are things like Scoop, MSYS, Docker, etc. I had to use Windows on my laptop for school. The way I use Windows is like how I use Linux, except Powershell commands are just non-intuitive. It just feels really awkward over Bash.
