I am always down for improvements to the Linux professional audio ecosystem!

I feel you on this. I'll be annoyed if they don't offer some kind of migration.

Personally, I feel like any distro works for gaming these days, especially since you have an Nvidia card and don't need to stay super up to date with kernel and Mesa. My advice is to go with whatever distro suits your daily needs, not just gaming. As long as it isn't some super stable enterprise-centric distro like RHEL or Debian stable, you'll be fine.

I am curious to know whether the performance differences are just due to Linux not being completely optimized on the M2 yet and whether MacOS fairs any better with some of the benchmarks, provided that they have MacOS versions.

The early access is completely playable in Linux so it will work on the Steam Deck. Whether you'd want to play it on the Steam Deck due to its lack of native gamepad controls is another issue.

Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access has already been working extremely well on Linux for the past few years while it was in development, so this combined with what you mentioned about their previous track record, I'd say we'll be getting day one playability in Proton.

Oh my bad then, ignore me hahaha.

Yeah, I am waiting for the 545 drivers which should contain a few Wayland improvements. I am slightly annoyed that this new update ISN'T that, but I am just impatient hahaha.

Lemmy allows you to save a comment without commenting btw. Just click on the three dot menu and then click the star.

Thanks! I'll check it out. I am in the process of building a new hosting machine (my old QNAP NAS died) so I think now's a good time as any to switch to a new container tech.

Nextcloud, Jellyfin, my own personal photography website, and a Valheim server, all done via docker-compose because I haven't spent the time to learn other container tech yet. I've been hearing a lot about podman, what are the benefits over docker for you?

I mean sure, you can be dramatic and compare it to spying programs, or you can consider it like your average government census that prioritizes government programs to your benefit, except in this case its collecting WAY less data and it isn't even attributed to you in any way.

Honestly, I think its fine you think that way, but you have to realize its a bit like living in a cave, completely disconnected from everybody. Not everyone thinks that Linux should go that route.

I think you're expanding the concept of privacy beyond what most people are concerned about. I think its great that you have such a hard line stance on privacy, but to be honest from a practical standpoint, it's total overkill.

If you aren’t dedicated enough to fill out a bug report or help me help you with issues… I don’t want to know your situation.

Which means you're only listening to the people who are technically inclined. That's a lot more siloed than you realize and leads to UX that really isn't suitable for anything beyond the IT department. Maybe that's your thing, but frankly, I'd like to see Linux expand beyond the datacenter and beyond the 2% of gamers.

Furthermore, I think you just don’t realize that Fedora has been doing fine for 20-ish years

Again, that's siloed thinking. It's perfectly fine...for the Linux space, but frankly I think every single distro genuinely needs more usability data because the UX really isn't great in a lot of ways, and I say this as a Linux enthusiast of 15 years and a software dev myself. Doing fine is the status quo.

There is no way of collecting telemetry while respecting privacy*.

You can, anonymization and gathering data in aggregate, if implemented well, can ensure data can't be attributed to any one person. Who owns the data is a separate issue that you're conflating into privacy.

I get your perspective, but opt-in really isn't a great solution in terms of dataset. That's just the reality of it. Opt-in is super self-selecting and you get data that's basically an echo chamber of people who actually care enough about your product to contribute data. Being in an echo chamber doesn't make a great product.

First off, opt-in is the best way to get to the core of your sample size, because everyone that opts-in is someone that wants to help!

That is already a biased group. I am sorry, but you can't just cater your product to those who are super passionate about it. That's a great way to enter into an echo chamber where valid criticisms are hidden behind enthusiasm. I mean, think about it, how many weird quirks of Linux are we, as enthusiasts, willing to put up with or don't even recognize are issues for others?

You should not surround yourself with yes-men if you want to get constructive feedback.

The issue is seeing Red Hat flex their muscle over a community driven project.

To be honest, I feel like you're letting the controversy of the past few weeks cloud your perspective. FOSS projects do need feedback regardless of whether they're owned by a company or not.

The problem with opt-in is that it isn't a good way to get a good sample size. It's very self-selecting. There are ways of collecting telemetry while being privacy-respecting, but whether RedHat is properly anonymizing this user data is a different matter.

Pretty sure what you were actually compiling was qt5-webkit, which davinci-resolve depends on, and yeah its a bitch of a compile without multi-threading.

Better yet, use ~/.makepkg.conf to avoid setting it system wide and use MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)" to have it automatically detect how many processes to use.

Battle.net works pretty well in Linux at the moment.
