Still pretty bad according to my mexican friends, I wouldn't go as a tourist personally, this is the only time ive seen the take that Mexico is safe and nice now. (the parts for rich ppl to vacation have never been an issue) Btw the first gen mexicans I know are prob the most against illegal immigration because of their experiences going back across the border. (for context, I am not on their side, mfs are just the lucky ones who were born here) They all have relatives in cartels/gangs but not out of choice, every story ive heard just sounds extremely sus, even when its fun, theyll be like yeah nah theyd rob you tho dont go there.

Basically look up best vacation spot, highest income area in mexico and youll be fine.

People getting massdownvoted here to the point of having negative overall rep tend to be an issue

I dont mind piefeds version since its only negative for ppl getting primarily downvotes, there isnt a boost for high upvotes

It encourages shitposting, high karma almost always was related to memes, not being helpful

Plasma does seem to have a lot of small annoying bugs, like rnow I have to click a widget so it loads on my desktop before dragging, if I just drag plasma closes out of the editor and my screen goes black for a second.

I keep hearing good things, ill try it out, when I first looked it up it didnt seem as customizable based off screenshots but im seeing posts about how its more customizable than gnome

I keep forgetting tiling managers arent des

Hyprland is kinda cool since you can still have windows over windows if you need/want it, I was worried since the width can be off and its easy to just open a window and scale iy manually to see text properly, it doesnt solve any problem I have tho, just forces me to use the keyboard more than I want to.
I definitely want to spend a sunday just customizing and tinkering with it tho, sounds fun.

Rnow plasma works super well for me, love that you can right click windows and have them always stay on top or always be below, useful when using the transparent terminal. Hyprland has a top popdown terminal (at least the config I used) which is kinda sick, but not really necessary lol.

For the touchpad? I basically use my laptop like a desktop with a mouse, pluggedin to power. (it was more for easy transportation from college to back home, didn't have a desktop and gaming laptops get insane deals if you keep track, got mine $2,000 off at like $1100 and it was the best all amd alienware config at the time (still handles everything), just preemptively explaining because im used to redditors giving me shit for using a laptop as a desktop)

As long as its more secure than no password where anyone can accidentally tinker on my device, thats my main concern with no pass

I do like hyprland, I think itll take some time to get a config right but it feels fun to use and thats why I swapped to linux, windows felt boring with its ui and on top of that had constant random so it wasnt the good type of boring. Most shocking part has been having 100s of tabs open and swapping without issue, on windows it did not matter which browser I used my computer would tweak after 20 tabs

I often dont use my keyboard when casually browsing, reaching for it constantly is annoying in those cases, I'm assuming yall that use linux more are more used to the opposite and not using a graphical interface.

plasmas had no issues going half and half or quarters, better than windows at least, but yeah my monitors are relatively small compared to what other ppl have, so i never want to divide by more than 4

Its not like the alternative reddit is any better at least here someone could design a free app to do it, while reddit you gotta pay to access the api to delete all your posts/comments

Forsure, if i do run into issues I'll switch to Bazzite. I always have windows to return to if I need to, still using it for some programs and im keeeping most files that cant be just be reinstalled when I need it on an external ssd.

Thats not a strange issue, shits expensive, ppl pirate, lemmydbzer0 is here for a reason

I said its easy to pirate on other os not that they arent available on linux?

They have linux versions?

My main issue with linux rnow is davinci, and houdini, davinci is easy to pirate, but no redgiant, etc. The effects I use can be remade following tuts or with other addons, symbol bitmapping, and pixeldither. But houdini specifically is just so expensive for hobby use, im addicted tho. I will never make money off that shit if I magically do ill spend 2.5k on the perpetual license. Cant find anyway to pirate an up to date version.

I thought piracy would be easier on linux but it seems to be much harder to find resources if they even exist. Nice for foss stuff tho.

tailscale works without issues on cachyos, i use it so i can ssh to my computer and have automation on my iphone to turn it on when using ssh apps like neoserver. (it drains battery if always on)
