Man I really want to see that VRR patch merged in, even if it still takes a flag to turn on.

With KDE having VRR and now HDR it feels like the choice you have to make if you are gaming on Linux. I prefer Gnome generally so I would like to see them catch up.

That's a cool program thanks for the recommendation. However, it's disappointing they don't have CPU temps on it. Actually there are CPU temps, just missed it the first time I was looking at the program.

Are these dashboard exportable / importable at all? If so can you share you config files?

Thanks! Lm_sensors didn’t appear to be in the opensuse repo, but I will double check because it seems like a lot of things depend on it

Nice I had no idea, thanks for the tip

I was looking for this one earlier, it’s weirdly not in the OpenSuse repo

Everyone seems shocked when Arch breaks but it’s been my experience with Arch as well. Literally on an old laptop I was basically using for web browsing I had Arch break several times randomly after updates. That was enough for me to give up on it.

Accusing the poster of astroturfing is extremely toxic and warrants revision on your part.

I liked Unity - they were doing so much customization to Gnome that it made sense for them to have their own DE.

Why would you ever think it was a meme distro? Red Hat has been around forever.

Using this right now. It’s been a little less stable then I’ve heard other people claim, I had about a day and half where I was consistently freezing up 5 minutes after login. After that was patched it has been fine.

The real test for me is if I can walk away from it for 3 weeks and update the system without the world exploding. That was what always broke Arch for me.

I haven’t used it personally but I’ve seen a lot of folks bad mouthing Manjaro.

Lots of complaints of instability and it being poorly run project. One of the more objective complaints I’ve read is they have a slower release process so security fixes take longer then Arch.

Since I installed native first I wonder if I can point the flatpak version to that. I actually have no idea where it is but I assume it’s outside of the home directory.

Might make more sense to move it into home like you are saying for more seamless flatpak compatibility.

Thanks for the further explanation.

A move to microos is what I am evaluating.

Maybe I am not average but I blow past 300 pretty easily. I also think you may underestimating how much people search on their phones.

Separate libraries as in game libraries? Meaning you have to install games twice?

If that is the case did you experiment with point them to the same library?

Devils advocate here, but what makes Ubuntu a great gateway distro nowadays?

When Ubuntu came out it had a graphical installer and UI improvements allowed users to do more without the terminal. I feel like at some point other distros caught up and Unity was the unique selling point. Then canonical became more focused on the server and killed Unity. I am not sure what is the selling point of Ubuntu as a desktop in 2024.

This all comes from my personal experience of Ubuntu being my main distro for 10+ years. But when I started distro hoping I realized there wasn’t much difference between Ubuntu and other distros nowadays.

Yeah I don’t want to insult the KDE folks but I miss Gnome as well.

It is embarrassing as hell that the Gnome folks haven’t merged that commit after this many years. They also don’t have any concrete steps laid out to the contributors to get it merged. It feels like they just don’t give a shit about section of their community and it’s pretty disrespectful to the original contributor to give them no path forward. End rant.

It’s very reasonable to implicit read that meaning into the question. Like if I am at a dinner table and ask “how is the turkey” I reasonably understand that only the people who are eating the turkey would answer. I don’t have to say, “for those of you who are eating turkey and have taken a bit, how is the turkey”. This is doubly true for social media where everything is a mass broadcast.

They also weren’t selling it as far as I know. They put the whole thing on YouTube and prefaced with this is an AI trying to recreate a Carlin stand up set.

After trying out Nix as a package manager I realized I have a pretty different world view than the makers of Nix. I agree with the end goal but how they are trying achieve it is just alien to me. The nix command line is just downright user hostile.

I am personally hoping that someone else takes a stab at the Nix concept but have accepted Nix isn’t for me.
