  • What distro do you install on other's computers?

  • How do you handle the closed source applications installations for your dad without friction?

  • I had some good rate of satisfaction (anecdotal empirical and personal) with Silverblue. Good support for UKI + Secure Boot + TPM2 + SELinux. All of that transparent to end user, and we can roll back stuff quite easy with the Atomic philosophy.

    Those were experiments conducted on Lenovo and Dell laptops that have good Linux support with continuous firmware updates via fwupd.

    Personally, I use Arch, btw. Not a big fan on the relation of companies with distros.

  • KDE Linux deep dive: package management is amazing, which is why we don’t include it

    Jump

  • "In KDE Linux, we build the base system out of Arch packages, but freeze the contents and take responsibility for the result being functional; we don’t offload responsibility onto the user."

    Is this the same that Manjaro does?

  • What was hacking like in the '80s and '90s?

    Jump

  • It was extremely easy to send a trojan file to a friend and if they would open it and you happen to know its IP you could remote do things like open its CD drive and at the same time have tons of malware in your PC but it was all worth to see them in the next day saying that the PC went abducted by aliens

  • I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questions

    Jump

  • It was just a just a joke. Slackware is a dinosaur.

  • Opinions on best online translator?

  • people who tried HelloFresh, what was your experience with them?

    Jump

  • It was good to learn how to rationalize the food and prepare it. After two months with HelloFresh, cancel it and start groceries and preparing lunch and dinner boxes with your learning you will miles ahead of keeping paying for their service.

  • Seems to be where the world is marching. They are surpassing the US and competing in many areas. They have a large population that is starting to travel more often. They are producing large content online that is not translated. They have their own YouTube equivalent (Bilibili), etc...

  • What about Slackware? Not popular anymore?

  • I see that Windscribe was included. Their price tier is always in promotion so I'd take that in consideration.

    Also, they have app for Linux: https://windscribe.com/features/linux/

    It is not in Electron like many others. It is native Linux.

  • For Linux gaming (including DX12), is there a strong reason to choose NVIDIA over AMD?

  • I'd go with Linux, no matter what, but this seem exactly why I feel that we should be more clear. People may be building some PCs out there to use Linux for gaming and buying Nvidia because others keep saying that everything is smooth sails with Nvidia. A lot of it is working now but there are some downsides and the recommendation is to go with AMD if you can.

  • Thanks. That is what I thought but is good to confirm if we are not missing something.

  • That is a fair reason and a good remind actually. Thanks!

  • There isn’t a global 30% performance loss. There are specific games/configurations that have performance issues and bugs, but it isn’t all games.

    That was not what I said. I don't recall saying that there is a global 30% performance loss. I'm sorry if I gave margin for that interpretation.

    There are always bugs and performance issues that appear and get fixed, that’s the nature of Linux.

    This one in particular seem to be taking some time for Nvidia to fix.

    This is not the case now, NVIDIA works without major issues.

    I don't think I was implying that it doesn't work. My point is that for certain games that relies on certain technologies the Nvidia drivers are not optimized to reach Windows level or even AMD level on Linux for equivalents cards. It may worth reviewing the Nvidia forum link that I posted first.

    I still give the benefit of the doubt that I may be missing something and need to learn better something although I'm not following your reasoning completely.

    Finally, I just want to also point that I don't have strings attached to any GPU maker. I wish we had more options but it sounds that if we want something reasonable with good open source driver support for many different types of combinations of games, hardware and technology, AMD seems our only choice in Linux given this incidental bad performance present on DX12 combined with Nvidia GPUs on Linux.

    I hope this doesn't sound negative, it is a thought that I had and just felt good about it. I'm nothing. I'm cosmic dust but I enjoyed my life.
