Ignore anyone who says anything about a "gaming" distro. There is literally no performance difference.

I’ve never heard of anyone suggest a gaming-focused distro for performance reasons.

It’s always for compatibility and shit-just-works reasons. And that is wildly different between distros.

There’s nothing especially gaming-focused with bazzite that would interfere with general PC usage. I think it’s a great choice for “25% gaming”.

The only thing is that there’s not a lot of distro-specific guidance out there, and the immutable concept is a bit new and unusual.

I live my life 400 meters at a time. For those 12 .beats or less, nothing else matters

The first is the only way that makes sense, the second too easily becomes post-grease-queue-el. Which is horrible.

What’s the difference? Those read the same to me. Do you mean that you want a strong gap between “gre” and the S in S-Q-L?

Sounds like they’ll give lip service to DEI in the name of appeasing the shareholders but push to limit it and suck trumpian cock as much as possible

An ‘istoric occasion (if you don’t pronounce the H)

A historic occasion (if you do)

It’s all about the sounds, not the letters.

Kids are frequently taught that letters are vowels (or consonants) when it’s actually the sounds they represent, and there’s not a 1:1 mapping between letters and sounds.

That sounds weird because it is weird.

I think that sort of thing is from people who have read it without hearing it, or are blindly copying others without thinking about it.

Also plenty of people with chronic illnesses need to find a doctor who at bare minimum understands that the disease exists and is willing to try to treat it.

And women looking for birth control or sterilization procedures (even when sterilization is a side effect such as treatment of endometriosis) will need to “shop around” to find a doctor willing to do so, especially if they are not married and even more if they have no offspring.

Yes but no. Some folks are purists and feel that the actual code must derive from the original BSD/SysV code.

Slow, extra data traffic, extra battery usage.

What are the upsides? I could see a phone being a great controller for a remote seedbox for sure.

Why would you torrent from your phone?

Wrong tool for the job…

My reasons:

1. Because it just works.
2. I can uninstall the trash apps that apple includes and use my own preferences.
3. Don’t have to deal with bloatware from two vendors (Google and Samsung for example)
4. Vendor lock-in. I started on iOS (iPod touch) and so I have a certain amount of app purchases that are iOS-only. This is the only one that galls me.
5. longevity / platform support. I’ve had this thing for close to five years, and the battery is only starting to fail in the last few months.
6. decent display. Samsung galaxy’s PCM brightness control gives me horrible eye strain.

Maybe it’s just Samsung that’s trash, I dunno. I tried hard to like android and in principle I should prefer Google’s more open ecosystem. But it just seems to enable every manufacturer of android phones to try to outcompete each other in how awful they can make the experience of owning their products, all in the name of trying to differentiate themselves from their competitors.

At this point is it even subterfuge?

They’re not hiding it any more.

Hanlon’s Razor fails us here.

This shot is not sufficiently explained by stupidity.

Cruelty.

Or Russia.

Same thing.

Can you stop spamming that everywhere? Make a post if you want to.

Also, punctuation is your friend.

That’d be trademark, not copyright.

Doubt it, they were more likely using md5sum files in 1999.
