out of the box isn’t enough for a new distro.

I'm a bit surprised that they mentioned "distribution" on the Bluefin website, as the Universal Blue site (the base project behind Bluefin) explicitly mentions not being a distro - and I know that Jorge tends to be very clear that they're not building a distro:

This isn't a distribution, you can always rebase back to Fedora without reinstalling. This is a unique relationship between upstream and downstream that is popular in cloud, but still new to the Linux desktop. "Custom images" seems to be a decent place to start since that's what people call them in cloud.

IIRC, Bluefin uses the GNOME extensions that Ubuntu uses - so yes, GNOME in the same way that the current version of Pop!_OS is GNOME + their own extensions.

Wow, how convenient for them!

What manufacturer? If it's done through Fastboot then no, it's available on Linux just fine.

But of course, not all manufacturers use Fastboot.

I'm not sure how that could happen with a "ninja" edit though - places that have ninja edits only give you a minute or two after the original submission to make a silent edit, hence the "ninja" moniker.

Sysadmins very commonly make a lot of use out of automating things with Powershell and various utilities that work with it.

Given that a pretty decent sized portion (I'd assume at least, no numbers to back that up sadly) of the Linux user base tends to be "cut from the same cloth" in terms of having the passion to automate (and heavily customize) their system - I would think this is why you see this sentiment repeated often.

As far as I know, it wouldn't - I do not believe KWin nor Mutter is built on top of wlroots.

I miss those things so much, along with Etch-A-Sketches...

It doesn't target Gnome, it targets Cinnamon - and I don't think they share the same API.

And additionally, to the community at large - admins, moderators, people who post/comment - we all have played a major part in expanding Lemmy and the Fediverse in general!

I feel like most people (assuming you're not on Reddit) don't really care, so long as you're not being spammy with them (or not just reply with only an emoji).

Every now and then I'll tack one on at the end of a comment if I think that my tone might come of a bit more passive aggressive than I intended it to be, but most of the time I just see it as "I might need to rewrite this so that it doesn't come off that way" instead.

Agreed, I quite enjoy playing ATS/ETS2 and just listening to a podcast on the side as well.

Correct, it just makes a link to the video itself!

It looks unprofessional

Often times, projects like this aren't necessarily going for "professional" - its something the developer has made for themselves and is just being nice to share it and the source to the world.

Also, sometimes that sort of thing is directly related to making sure translations do actually work. While I doubt that was the case here, I remember seeing RedHat Linux for a while had a specific language option that changed the phrasing quite a bit (I believe it was in relation to how one of the devs on the team commonly spoke) and it was done to make sure that translations were working.

Precisely, yep! It follows the same rules as subscribing to communities on Lemmy however - if you're the first on an instance to subscribe, it may not pull the full backlog of videos - and at least one person needs to be subscribed for the instance to continue getting updates from the channel.

Try heading to !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com for example, and you'll see Nick's channel come up as a community and each video that they upload will be its own "post".

Note that when you lookup stuff on PeerTube, you have to use the channel name - not the uploader's username. So the one I linked would work, but if you replaced the start with thelinuxexperiment it wouldn't work, since that is a user and not a channel.

Yeah, I wish it had just been theory, I wouldn't blatantly say something like my original comment if it weren't based off experience. I've written numerous comments on my experience with Nvidia + Linux [+ Wayland] - such as this comment, primarily the the second, third, and fourth paragraphs. Sadly I don't think its possible to "relative" link direct comments, so I've just linked my instance instead.

Since you mentioned it's a mobile GPU, I'm not sure if perhaps you have also have an internal GPU that is drawing your regular desktop. My friend doesn't have nearly the same amount of issues that I have with Wayland, because he's able to drive his desktop with his iGPU and does GPU passthrough to play games through a Windows VM - the 5600X that I have doesn't include integrated graphics so this was not possible for me.

Either way, if it works for you then fantastic. It certainly didn't work for me, and definitely not for a lack of trying.

I mean, you started your comment by saying "Wayland apologists" - I'm not sure why you thought it would go over just fine.

Which is unfortunate that you did, the Linux community already has quite a bit of hate for Nvidia (for good reason) but comments like these tend to just make people who use Nvidia hardware look bad. I say this as someone who made the exact same position on the argument (so to speak) in a similar thread a few days ago.

I hope you get to move over to Company B as soon as possible, and I'm sorry that things have been an absolute shitshow (from what I can gather) at A/C.

Checking in from my couch while wrapped in a soft and warm robe I just got last week - it's quite cold outside!

As someone who just had to shell out the money to do a lateral move from an Nvidia 2080 to a RX 6700XT - don't go with Nvidia if you're wanting to have a good time.
