Yeah. Yikes.
The advice is decent actually. It’s the non-advice comments that should just be deleted. Even the advice from that .ml guy is careful. Wouldn’t have caused any issue if someone didn’t pick the fight while fully aware that there will not be a resolution.
If you’re going to fund something, go for Servo
Also very much in development
Maybe try the non-nvidia iso? If there is an issue with the proprietary drivers, odds are the open source one won’t have it. The open source driver is about 50% less performant though, so this is only for diagnostic
You should check if Windows runs on the computer. So you have something to offer if you don’t find a solution. And also if it doesn’t you’re in trouble.
update: BTW, if you’re going to try many .iso in a short timeframe, use Ventoy. It also works with Windows installers
From what OS, and for which activities?
Generally, I would advise vibe checking with a Ventoy USB and a live .iso. See if you find your marks, and can do basic stuff. Ventoy will allow you to try different distros in relatively quick succession
FYI, subliminal messages, as in “messages that you can’t see but your subconscious will be affected by” are not a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_stimuli
I remember watching a science show where someone wanted to demonstrate them, blatantly failed, tried again, failed again, called a psychologist to try better, and failed again. At the end the guy excused himself and said that it must surely be working for everyone but him, for some reason. Except no one actually managed to get it working, the guy who invented the concept later admitted he faked the result.
What did XP do? I’ve never heard someone complain about it
Looking at the specs, I would guess it is
You can setup a Ventoy USB stick if you want to try multiple options
It’s similar in that it has an application launcher at the bottom, a windows-like start menu, and aims to be simple.
Zorin has a modern UI where Mint is more windows-7-ish. They don’t have the same file explorer, settings app, app store, generally the core apps are different.
Look they’re quite different, it’s hard to make a full comparison, just run a Mint .iso in gnome-boxes if you’re curious.
I meant, what part of rust feels like
fix things by adding more putty and let the compiler sort things out
I’ve been using it for a while, and I don’t know what the compiler is sorting out. It’s blocking me from doing things, not making things work. Unless you’re talking about traits or macros? But then they mostly remove lines of code, not add some. Confusion ensues.
I don’t see what you are talking about with the whole putty thing, do you have an exemple in mind?
That statement that people who know that Ubuntu sucks don’t know that it is a Debian derivative is incredibly unlikely
No, the issue is that their anti cheat requires a level of control of your computer that Linux doesn’t allow. They could just lower the security, but they instead decided that nobody on Linux could play, apparently thinking that the losses due to cheating would be more than the revenue of 3% more users
This does not mean that any performance issue that arise will be fixable (unless you’re one of those guys)
But yes, this is how I ended up using Linux. I spent weeks trying to fix a major visual glitch on Windows, and Debian got it right the first time. The app store sucked (even more than now), but installing things in cli was far easier than using Windows
Do you actually feel your computer slow down? I would guess your 20 unused tabs would get swapped out and the rest should run relatively fine
Yes, Debian stable and testing are two very different things. Testing is essentially a slower rolling release that only takes packages that have been tested in Debian unstable, which is a very fast rolling release. Similar thing with RHEL, Fedora is a quasi-rolling distro that takes packages after testing in Fedora rawhide.
The old bugs will not send your ssh keys to an unknown network address. If they did, they would get patched or not published. These bugs are known in advance, they are not risks, they are issues. You can make a decision to use them or not, and then you’re set for 5 years. Like, they are both bugs, but they work out very differently if you want to rely on your system.
The thing is that Fedora or Debian testing (and derivatives) bring the latest version fast-enough for the vast majority of people. They don’t make bugs last longer like Debian stable does. When an app is bugged for two weeks, you encounter the bug one month after Arch users, then you get the fix two weeks later. The total bugged time stays the same, but the risks of something really bad happening is much lower. The downside is being one or two month late, and most people don’t care about this kind of delay. (obviously when bugs are found, it can be much more than one or two months)
I mean, they distributed the xz attack, and then rolled it back when a debian sid user signaled it. This is just not a viable way to do things, especially if the number of users increases. You need a stronger testing policy before the update hits the users, you shouldn’t just assume everything can be fixed by further updates. Debian stable is a bit on the extreme side of that, but Debian testing or Fedora feel much more reasonable long term to me
They published this blog post that lists all the projects they supported, and calls for the community to submit projects to support in a form.
The blog post did not acknowledge the situation, but the list showed that they stopped supporting Omarchy and kept support for Hyprland. It was noted during the drama that Hyprland’s toxicity levels have dropped since they set up a moderation team. Their reputation might not represent them as they are currently.
I stopped following the events at this point, so if something happened after that, I’m not aware of it
