Yeah, that would make sense.

GOD DAMN! I knew seagulls were powerful. I didn't know that seagulls had the power to smell through chip bag plastic.

This is especially shocking for someone who lives in the lower half of southern California, 30 minutes away from multiple beaches.

The audacity that people have to assume that you, me, or anybody has a head.

I HATE that I am still in the habbit of doing esc :wq whenever I want, or need, to save and quit.

But you should be using Arch instead ot Mint.

(I use Arch BTW)

Yep, all front end or services.

Also, I recommend giving Linux another shot. There are many distros that work as expected out of the box; The primary one I recommend is Nobara. Nobara is a Fedora based distro made by GloriousEggroll, the same GloriousEggroll behind ProtonGE and WineGE. It has a custom kernel with additional patches to help make the performance of some things better. It is a gaming focused distro, but that doesn't mean you can't use it for day-to-day tasks.

NewPipe is a YouTube frontend (on android), it's like invidious minus the "instance" part, where it basically just grabs the video directly and just plays that. With NewPipe the video still gets views on YouTube's end, I don't think videos watched through invidious count towards the view count on YouTube's end.

Freetube is something that I've seen and/or heard of once or twice; because of that, I can't really say what it is. It's definitely something that is either like NewPipe or Invidious. (I have only heard about it once or twice due to being a Linux user (I use Arch BTW) and stubling upon it's github repo.)

I really only ever watch YouTube on my phone and because I'm an Android user, I have heard of NewPipe and been aware of it for quite a while. Invidious I know about for kind of the same reason. There's an Android app called LibreTube that is basically a frontend for Piped. (Piped is either an alternative to Invidious or is an instance of Invidious, or just straight up uses Invidious as like a backend. Don't entirely remember)

You Should. Firefox has gotten so much Better. Not to mention all the literal BULLSHIT Google has done and will be doing with their browser.

The way Chrome works now, every tab is its own instance. Firefox, each window is its own instance.

I am an Arch user and have been using hyprland on it for a while.

I only asked about how it is on fedora cuz I've been considering switching to nobara. The only thing keeping me back is that I love to tinker. I know Arch is the best for that, but I'm considering dual-booting both with Nobara being used for gaming (although I will switch to like kde (x11), or i3 for gaming along with any graphically intense programs due to having an Nvidia card) and just about everythung else but will be keeping arch for whenever I want to like really tinker with something.

Checked out that repo and may have to check it on a computer later.

Thanks a lot!

How has your experience been with hyprland on fedora?

Since hyperland is bleeding edge and almost always requires like the latest versions of some packages, did you need to use packages from fedora rawhide, or use an older version of hyprland due to the versioning of hyprland's dependencies?

What is needed to keep it well maintained? I know there's a copr repo due to being a package that is too bleeding edge, and assuming you are using the copr repo (that is mentioned on the hyprland wiki), does the hyprland package get updated whenever the dependencies, not including the build dependencies, are updated in the main repo?

I would love to try it out, though I'm an Arch user, but it all depends on what needs to be done prior to installing it, or how much maintenance is required to prevent it from breaking or even just crashing.

When I first saw the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo, my IMMEDIATE first thoughts were, due to the second screen it has, "That's cool. I wonder how well Linux would run on that?"

"The Game" is a mind virus. The trick is that when you think of The Game you lose. When you lose The Game you must announce to the nearest people "I lost The Game," thus ensuring it spreads. There is no quiting and no winning. Your only hope is everyone in existence forgets about it.

It blew up in popularity back in the 2008~2010 era of the internet when everything was cringe humor and lol random

As an Arch user, BTRFS has saved me SO much pain, suffering, and time. BTRFS is a LIFESAVER!

Not only would it kill steam, but also kill so many other applications. It could even just straight up kill Windows as a whole.

Switching to Linux on all my computers was literally one of the best decisions I have ever made. Granted it was 5.5 years ago, but I'm glad I was able cuz microsoft started to get worse like a year later.

What Microsoft started doing recently, pushing users built-in ads to use their products, makes me more glad that I'm a Linux user so I don't have to deal with Microsoft's bullshit.

So if Gabe suceeds, we get a gaming ecosystem with different hardware sellers, all using a platform that other software sellers are not blocked from using (Linux)? And the only reason Valve wins, is because they invested into providing the best possible distribution platform on Linux?

Yes. 100% correct
\

\ I would also like to add that I think the main reason for the Steam Deck running Linux is because Gabe Newell himself has literally stated that he loves Linux and FOSS, which results in only Gabe, but the majority, if not all, of Valve wanting Linux to be a the gaming platform that it deserves to be. It also the reason why Valve forked WINE and made Proton.

Correction... *THE incest state. When people talk about incest, at least one person is gonna think about Alabama.

I agree.

If a browser ain't open source, I ain't gonna use it and neither should anyone else.

I'm an Android user, but luckily I never really got lost in google's sauce.

I'm pretty sure I used Chrome early on in my Android days but not for very long.

Currently, and for the foreseeable future, my primary browser on Android is Firefox Nightly and I do run firefox on all my computers (I do use Linux).
