Linux is almost twice as big outside of gaming tho. In the Steam survey it sits at ~2%, whereas Statcounter has it at ~4%, based on browser data. Gaming actually lacks behind mainstream Linux adoption

There is an unofficial Flatpak version that works perfectly fine for ne. If you use KDE, you need to fo this in addition however: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet#Automatic_D-Bus_activation

Bruh, you can share the truth on pretty much any way imaginable. Why would you ban one platform, and out of all of them TikTok, to “control the narrative”? Everyone knows what’s going on, there have already been plenty protests because of it, it’s way too late to control anything and maybe most importantly: TikTok offered the US more control and they declined. They straight up proposed to do whatever the hell the government wants if they can stay and it was dismissed.

fish is a nice shell

Elon Musk can fuck right off and mind his own business

I mean, Boeing barely does, we have also shot countless things everywhere in the solar system… Heck, even Starship reached a stable orbit in like the 3rd test flight or so (practically, and throttled shortly before, so the thing returns). It’s hard, but far from impossible with a competent team and strict management

More like a life crisis

I’m very curious how RDNA 4 will stack up against Battlemage. Ingl, if Intel had released a B580 x2, so like a 5120 shader class card, I would’ve probably bought it (or its sister SKU) already. Gonna be tough competition

Russia? I think you underestimate the gaslighting ability of our political parties, specifically the ‘cinservative’ ones. Talking about 'A’fD is a waste of breath, but christ-democrats are at 30%. Their idea of campaigning is comming up with bs just vaguely phrased enough to not be straight up lies.

For example, they claim around 100 billion in tax reliefs / benefits total if you elect them. Their idea of financing it? Cut welfare and hope the economy grows. Fun fact: The welfare they want to cut us about 50 billion in total and they can barely cut it, because they are required by law to provide some. They talk about ‘double digit [billions of] savings’, as if it was halfway across, when it’s more like 1/10th of what they need (if they can even get it).

And this is just one example of them trying everything to get votes from people. Specifically who feel betrayed or forgotten by politics. The thing is they themselves betray them, don’t care and just blame others for it.

Or, you know, shitty food, unhealthy lifestyles, a lack of healthcare, drugs and violence

Funnily enough I had more bugs on Tumbleweed than on Arch. Admittedly, most of them were probably not on Tumbleweed, but it seems like there are just much more people caring about Arch. Otherwise I can’t explain why it gets so much better support

2-4 I have never had any problems with, file bug reports if you do I guess

I’m not sure what to make of this, but I assume you wanted to say KDE does what it’s supposed if you select the Wayland session. This would lead to my follow-up question: Why not just use it?

Wayland has been the preferred session for KDE since late 5.X

I don’t know if it is available yet, but KDE Linux sounds pretty cool. It’s kinda the same “Arch for everyone” take on Arch that Valve has going on with SteamOS, but with some pretty fancy stuff planned.

If you want to learn about a couple of cool customisations, you could also take a look at Garuda Linux, specifically the Dragonized Gaming Edition (aka Bloaty McBloatface Edition) or XeroLinux (although I don’t know if that’s maintained atm, I think the dev had to flew from a war in the middle east)

If you can afford it and want ultra low power consumption, latest gen Intel is for you. If you want maximum performance or go for older gen APUs, AMD is pretty much always better.

Edit: Since Intel’s naming got super confusing: I’m talking about Core Ultra 7 256V and 236V. I’m not sure whether the 288V is worth it. Note that the 256 and 236 also have 32GB variants, if you think you need more than 16.

As a centrist, I think it’s totally okay to say that. I oppose extremism, not common sense

Love how 2/5 comments suggest using KDE (like any sane person) and I totally wasn’t going to do the same (like any sane person).

That’s what you do with typos. If that comment happened to fall into the seconds it took me to do so, that’s on me. But I kinda doubt it did and I also kinda doubt you got that the post was a totally obvious joke to begin with.

Which is exactly what I have written

Second this. What you need for high quality media is space, not speed. For any single stream, network and drive will be fast enough anyway. Your typical HDD offers like 4-6 times the bandwidth that a regular Blu-ray can provide. You can get 8TB HDDs for the price of 2TB SSDs. Random access doesn’t matter for that application.

You might want to invest in redundancy and use a RAID 1 or RAID 10 array, depends on how valuable that media is to you or how long it would take to recover in case it’s lost. A simple solution would be a btrfs software RAID, in case your are after something like a Linux home media server with Jellyfin.
