  • Try and stick to Arch for at least six months, if not a year. I have a bad distro-hopping habit lol.

  • Sony also did this same rollout in the same time-span. PS4 was released in 2013, Pro version was in 2016. It's been about three years since the PS5 was released so it checks out.

  • Oh man, yeah classical would be a much better use of spatial. Maybe live recordings in general, where that matters a bit more than studio recordings

  • I liked the gameplay and environmental of Watch_Dogs 2 more (edit: on the latter, it's about how lively WD2 felt compared to 2077), but Cyberpunk 2077 is still solid. As someone else said, there's replay value to the different routes you can take. I'd definitely wait for the base game to go on sale though. I got mine for £25 and I think that's an alright price for it.

  • Yeah, don't use Arch if you're new to Linux and not tech-literate. You seem pretty interested in Linux Mint from other comments here, I'd say give that a go.

  • Serious question since I don't use iMessage whatsoever, what's going on with the iMessage stuff? Seems like multiple companies recently have tried to make apps that connect to iMessage, but there's nothing I've heard about Apple opening that up. Did something happen for this to suddenly pop up more frequently?

  • Plush toys. Just bought one of Spyro the Dragon and I'm waiting for production to start on the Apollo ones (if you're wondering, yeah, the one of the iOS app's mascot)

  • Went back to Reddit and immediately saw some homophobic trite. Friend of mine also had something happen to them and Lemmy users have said they experienced similar things.

    Reddit is no better than Elon's plaything at this point. In fact I'd say they're just as bad. (and yes, I know Spez is influenced by Elon)

  • I'd imagine that if you want a bootloader, the option is there as well. I can't imagine Fedora just doing away with that unless the bootloaders themselves are unmaintained.

  • Presume so, that's what the article claims:

    This latest UKI work for Fedora will lead to better UEFI Secure Boot support, better supporting TPM measurements and confidential computing, and a more robust boot process.

  • I had a pretty bad experience with the Paragon NTFS3 drivers a couple years ago. Basically the kernel hung, maybe from this, maybe not, but it ended up with filesystem corruption on my hard drives.

    Thankfully, Windows was able to fix it but until recently I relied on NTFS-3G. Paragon's NTFS3 driver seems to be faring a lot better nowadays.

  • No problem! :)

    FWIW, a lot of the DIY distros (Arch and Gentoo being the ones on most minds) allow this already so it's nothing new. It's just Fedora implementing it that's new I guess. If you're curious, the term to search is "EFISTUB".

  • I've tried Euro Truck Sim 2 with my G29, which was built for PlayStation but can work on PC with drivers on both Windows and Linux. On Linux, PS4 mode doesn't work on Linux, but PS3 mode does - the main thing is you lose the speed indicators on your wheel, if you really want them speed lights you'll have to go Windows and install G HUB.

    Some say PS3 mode disables clutch support since that was the case when using it on a PS3 but IDK if this is the case on PC and specifically Linux. Cursory search points towards no.

  • It's going to be bittersweet in a way because of Labour not being particularly great either, but yeah, they've had it coming for a very long time.

  • Not just that, soon after the US election, the UK will be gearing up for their General Election. Latest is the end of January 2025 according to a quick search.

  • It basically means instead of relying on a bootloader (e.g. GRUB or systemd-boot) the computer boots the kernel directly. Generally there should be no change besides having to use the BIOS menu to manually select a kernel.

  • As far as I know, the protocol is pretty much standardised and it's now up to the desktop environments to support and implement it, and that transition took a lot of time. GNOME has already been there and on its way to winding down X11 support, KDE has also been building up its Wayland support too. Waydroid (Android container software) requires it, and Valve uses it for Gamescope on SteamOS too iirc, to give games a more predictable place to render themselves on. Everyone's got a kick up the ass with regards to Wayland support recently, but for smaller, independent/non-corp backed or niche software, of course, it's gonna take a bit longer.

  • Oof. Then yeah, I'd focus on PWAs then, if you can.

  • If space really is an issue, maybe focus on PWAs more, but in any case, just use whatever the right tool is for what you need. If a native app works better than the PWA, use that. Same goes for vice versa.
