Where can you buy an N90 for 90$? Legit question.

It has two actually, karoshi and karojisatsu, death from being overworked and suicide from being overworked. Etimologically speaking, that gives you some idea of how big the problem is, kind of like the old adage about eskimos or inuits having six words for "snow".

And still not at X11's level. I daily Wayland, but this is extremely disappointing as a photo editor.

Thank you :). I understand your perspective better. I still think we oughta avoid the buzzword factory but this isn't that kind of issue.

As a devops professional I understand your points perfectly here but IMHO container native is a much better more descriptive definition. Normies see cloud and think hyperscalers and big tech, not the CNCF. They don't understand it and it's our/your(/the CNCF'S) duty to make the concepts more accessible IMHO.

There's also PeerTube which supports live streams and even supports distributing a sizable portion of the load via P2P. Clients can seed your stream and distribute it themselves, lightening the load on your server. I've used it a few times, it's very neat and it works well. Only con is the latency (it's around 2 minutes like old school twitch)

Are they based on Firefox ESR? That made me quit Floorp, it was pretty disappointing to be on a legacy reskin of Firefox.

I dunno man, complaining about the part of the democratic process where you get to vote your party's candidate seems pretty basic democracy to me, but I must not understand American "democracy" 🤷

Yeah, don't look past the veneer of the Prevent Cancer Foundation (and GDQ's founders are pretty cozy with them). Sure they're saints compared to The Completionist (& co.), but they mostly just do education/outreach which, while important, is completely US based and no doubt doubles as soliciting/fundraising, and don't really fund research nearly as much as you would probably guess (their 2022 financial statements indicate 4.6m spent on education, 800k spent on outreach, 1.44m on fundraising and only 1.1m on research). If you're outside the US you're unlikely to ever be impacted by their work. Their salaries are also way higher than DWB USA.

Yeah but this is a literal nobody coming into the market and pulling almost half the sales numbers as the single biggest franchise in the world with near 30 years' worth of brand recognition. That's still got to be somewhat of a wakeup call.

Disagree on picking RPM distros for an absolute beginner (this is what the image is about at least). SUSE maybe but you don't want a newbie having to deal with US patent bullshit and especially SELinux. Similarly, no newbie will ever pic a barebones WM as a first time user.

Aye.

The lawsuit you're referring to is about a poor old woman who got second degree burns, took McD to court and won, all while being slandered by the media for being some litigation happy grifter. Just saying.

Even IT people don't give a shit about security until it's way too late. Source: getting out of a job where the median age of a server is around 3-4 years old with no updates and runtimes hard installed outside repositories.

It's slightly different though. The PSOne was a post-PS2, cut-price version for the low end market. Same for the NES' second version and more (360 E, PS2/3 Slims, Wii Mini, etc.). The PS4 Pro was the first real mid cycle performance upgrade we got IIRC (aside from the PSP getting double the ram mid cycle, I guess).

If it's just the dirty flag (it was uncleanly unmounted) you can try

ntfsfix -d /dev/sdc1

Still probably better to boot into Windows and let it deal with it (ntfs tools are still reverse engineered stuff after all), and check journalctl before doing it, but it works in a pinch.

I had a quick go at it yesterday (the latest 535 broke DDC CI for one of my monitors, making plasma-powerdevil unable to start) and for whatever reason KWin ran at something like 3 seconds per frame. No that's not a typo, I mean it. I hope it's fixed before it gets to Arch's repo.

EDIT: It works! I had to switch to the DKMS driver (the main one isn't in the repos yet) but other than that my Wayland session didn't die a horrible death. Well smooth. I still didn't test much, but at least night light works.

Yeah, as usual the opinionated crew are making something that one may even like feel like it's forced down everyone's throat (see: systemd, snap...) and making everything worse. I don't see how any Linux desktop distro worth its salt can get by ignoring 90% of the PC GPU market share and essentially forcing them into an inferior desktop experience for pure ideology's sake, and I LIKE Wayland. I even put up with all its quirks in a particularly quirky implementation (KWin). But this ain't it if you want users to use your OS.

I am this exact case and it's getting better. A month ago I installed Arch on my Nvidia desktop and it had multiple problems: returning from sleep, really bad cursor lag hitches, video would freeze at random, applications would flicker, etc. Nowadays most of it is gone, unfortunately the really bad freezes after changing resolution on monitors are still there though

It's because it's bleeding edge, extremely well documented and extremely popular. Bleeding edge is exciting and you're gonna end up on the arch wiki anyway regardless of distro, so you may as well go to the source.

Do mind though it doesn't mean it's easy, like at all, and I fundamentally agree, there's a million better choices for first timers.
