  • Check here Personally wouldn't piss on it if it was on fire, but needs must when the devil drives.

  • Pretty sure it's in google services which you can turn on, personally think that waters down the point of Graphene if you leave that on, to the point of pointlessness, but some countries seem to live on whatsapp, more's the pity.

  • For what seems to be your use case, it should be good or better (AMD helps) and everything you need is in the tin. There are a couple of gotchas, and the doco could be better if you're a dev, but if you're just gaming you'll be fine.

    Try to avoid using rpm-ostree install (it's dog slow and slows updates, you're building an OS image after all) instead first try flatpak and then create a fedora distrobox (or arch or whatever, but fed is most in line with the base install) and dnf install from inside that (and then export to the main OS, keep it clean and it'll be stable).

    ujust update rocks, but it updates automatically in the background (there's at least two OS images at all times, so in the unlikely event it breaks you just revert), so don't forget to reboot every now and then, weekly at least for security reasons.

    Go here for questions, there's a discord too if you like that sort of thing. Have fun!

  • Aye, to each their own. I went the other way, Arch -> Fedora -> Immutable Fedora, because I was sick of tinkering and wanted stability ;}

  • TLDR:

    Skip to today, and Big Tech is pursuing the same approach, often in the same states.

    They too have funded front groups, hired an armada of lobbyists, donated millions to campaigns, and opened a firehose of lobbying money to replace real privacy laws with fake industry alternatives as ineffective as non-smoking sections.

  • I've had a couple of things mess up, usually nvidia related (egregiously sleep, and I like sleeping my desktop), but because it's immutable I just revert the entire OS and come back to current in a few weeks, and it's good (not the best security-wise, but my use-case is pretty sanguine). That's one of immutable positives. Bazzite natively supports 6 months reversion, or in a pinch you can go back to Silverblue/Kinoite.

  • Shall avoid, thanks for the heads up.

  • You dropped this - /s

  • Nice to see tech jesus here (getting this right?), normally in my rss feed...

    Keen.

  • Thanks, needed that.

  • It's pretty easy for 80 (90)+% of competent computer users, get an old Macbook for that stuff (it'll probably be better) and switch your main to linux. The real problem is less competent computer users.

    Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference. - Jim Butcher

  • I did, for the lazy

    Your point ? I didn't go deep, but nothing jumps out at me.

  • Meh, retractions are best case. Publish or perish is causing

    -low quality work: anything with a .05 result wins, whatever the contortions necessary

    -zero repeatability: one of the science fundamentals, but not publishable.

    -related, negative results are not published

    -people leaving science for better pay / conditions cause PoP sucks donkey dicks
