Suicide linux
So much talk, nothing to back it up. Blatant PR move.
This is good news. I want to use this post to shout out Heroic launcher.
A small team of devs (GitHub says 150 contributors, but likely only a small percentage of that consistently works on it), made a free, open-source launcher that is VASTLY better than Epic’s piece of shit.
I mean, for real, this multi-billion dollar company can’t even properly make a basic-ass piece of software. For over three years it has been a laggy mess that bombards the bottom right of my screen with ads. No significant changes or updates that have made the launcher more usable. I deadass pirate the games epic has given me for free so I don’t have to deal with their launcher.
Haha, now I feel dumb needing the joke explained to me
I actually want to try a LFS install, mostly to gain a deeper understanding of how Linux works. To anyone who’s done an LFS install: good idea or waste of time?
Gentoo is the final boss of Linux installs. (Linux From Scratch is the raid boss)
I installed it last year. After watching it compile for half an hour, I decided that a source-based distro was something I have no interest in daily-driving.
There are legitimate criticisms of Manjaro, and these days there are better options like Archinstall or EndeavorOS, but yeah it’s mostly just become a popular distro to shit on.
Canonical deserves way more hate than the Manjaro devs tbh.
Mostly the admins. They’ve forgotten to renew their SSL certs multiple times, causing various issues, and they introduced a bug that briefly DDOSed the entire AUR.
The distro itself seems fine. Although, I don’t see why you wouldn’t just use Arch with Archinstall or EndeavorOS if you really want that GUI installer. Both are much better managed imo.
That was a good read, totally changed my position. Thank you.
Zucc is a greedy asshole, but I think he knows when to sit back, and let the smarter people make decisions.
Musk is an arrogant, insufferable fuck. Epitome of a know-it-all.
Pitting two piles of shit against each other does not make the winner any better.
Can someone explain to me why people are so violently opposed to this?
If Threads blows up, and ActivityPub is integrated, you’ll have access to all of it through any federated instance. No need to let Meta sap all your data to view it or communicate with it’s users. Meta can’t kill ActivityPub or force us onto Threads, just abandon it and leave us back where we are today. If you don’t like the Meta users, just make or join an instance that isn’t federated.
Anyone can scrape the metaverse data and use it for whatever, Meta included. Them implementing ActivityPub doesn’t change anything about that.
Look I don’t like Meta as much as the next guy, but this all just seems like illogical gatekeeping
Edit: I understand now, see: XMPP and Google. Good article someone replied to me with, down below.
In terms of optimization, Gentoo is the best you’re gonna get, but the word “convenience” makes me hesitant to recommend it to you.
Arch is minimal, and has many resources/guides on battery optimization (Especially for ThinkPads), but if you’d like to learn something else, Void is the way to go.
If you’re looking for a tiling WM, I can wholeheartedly recommend bspwm. Lots of control and customization, but pretty easy to configure when you understand it. Just know, it might be a hard change going from stacking to tiling.
Hey, at least we have the option to fix things. My poor Windows friends end up reinstalling multiple times a year due to unfixable issues and bugs.
I’ve played every Fromsoft game multiple times, except DS2. Just got SOTFS and I’m excited to give it a go.
