You’re right, except I don’t see businesses moving from RHEL to Debian. Businesses are trying to buy support contracts, which Debian doesn’t have. But RedHat is trying to get vendor lock-in so businesses can’t switch to another RHEL compatible platform, even if support is offered. And for sure, RedHat “support” will be pushing solutions that only work on RHEL, not generic Linux.
Perhaps this is SUSE’s time to shine 😄? I believe SUSE Enterprise Linux has a product that allows for binary compatibility with RHEL and CentOS on SLE.
Everyone will likely have harder time maintaining compatibility without access to RHEL source. Giving customers access to the source under NDA is only slightly better than closed source. Hell, even Microsoft allows some customers to view the source.
I know SUSE Enterprise Linux is popular in the EU, but I’ve quite frankly had enough of corporate sponsored distributions. A few bad quarters and things could get interesting for the community oriented distributions.
I’ve moved back to Debian (with Flatpak) and will use the testing kernel for hardware reasons as soon as I remember where I put my notes on it or get tired and look it up.
I’m guessing it’s because IRC is proven, robust, simple, and has established communities. It’s also extensible and can be run on anonymous networks like i2p
Both team green and team red thought they could charge pandemic era scalper prices this generation, which of course wont happen because ETH mining is dead
I wonder if we will ever see a proper return to form for GPU pricing. As you mentioned, most if not all other PC hardware has come down to pre-pandemic pricing but without GPUs joining them it makes budget builds impossible*
Unfortunately, I think no. Nvidia sells every AI chip wafer they can get from TSMC, so if gamers won’t pay the same margins as datacenter customers Nvidia will simply stop selling to them. As such, Nvidia does not need consumers/home users anymore.
As for AMD, they just decided their pricing strategy is “whatever Nvidia does, but 10% cheaper”
I mainly want to be able to adjust the split of the picture-by-picture mode. By the default, the monitor splits the display 50-50 between the two inputs. It can, or at least should according to the official documentation that I currently have open in another tab, change that ratio but apparently that can only be done through the control software.
edit: nvm, turns out it can only adjust that ratio when connected to the same computer. And only on windows and mac. Meh.
It sounds like this software was made to address a problem that exists in Windows, poor window management options. Although with Win11 it’s been significantly improved.
Have a look into tiling window managers, or tiling add-ons for major desktop environments. You can split windows in all different arrangements without any extra software or splitting inputs.
Personally I’m using KDE and it’s built in tiling options work very well.
But what I’m trying to do is beyond any window manager. I was trying to play with the “tiling” of different display inputs from different sources. One input from my desktop and one from my work laptop. The monitor can display those two inputs side by side just fine, but I wanted it to split the screen 80-20 between the inputs instead of the default 50-50, which can only be done by the monitor firmware. Some monitors have that feature, but apparently mine can only do that when both inputs are coming from the same source, which is… meh. Why mess around with 2 inputs coming from the same computer when any major OS in 2023 has decent tiling capabilities already?
Oh I see your use case now. Yeah agreed, bit of a useless feature. My monitor supports PiP but not in way that makes it feasible to get work done on both, it’s only really good for a full screen video.
Someone else mentioned RDP/VNC which could work well, if your work computer allows it.
All the electronics of the Liberty Phone are made in our USA facility, and the entire phone is assembled at that same facility.
I suppose that this is the reason for the high price. It's built all in one single factory in the US (I was too lazy to research if it's their factory). I hope that their target groups are real and that they can afford the phone.
Glad I’m not the only who’s been having issues with Lemmy not posting a fucking comment once, but three fucking times 😂 Also, fuck that phone. It’s a very expensive hot piece of garbage that they’re selling to some extremely paranoid folks. Fucking get a pixel phone and slap graphene os on it and call it a day.
I would always recommend mint. If you want domething which looks a lot similar then zorin does that really well, and it also has you pay if you want some stuff preinstalled so that part is like windows too. Keep in mind that Linux is not windows and it will never be 1:1.
Gaming on Linux is pretty awesome if you use steam. It is painless in my experience.
Linux is used by a lot of professional programmers who might also have gotten training during uni, but honestly, I don’t think that is needed anymore. It can be used by anyone who is willing to accept that Linux will never be 1:1 to windows.
I can 100% back this up. I never had any issues with any of the games I play. The most effort I put in was get dotnet for assetto corsa using protontricks, and that is pretty much the only game which required tweaking from me. I mostly play metroidvanias, and all of them work for me. I can also vouch for 99% of the games out there. Warframe and csgo also work really well.
Iv been running garuda Linux GNOME edition on my gaming rig for years. Best Linux experience iv had. Honestly in my opinion and theres 2 schools of thought on this. The windows paradigm is literally shit workflow design, and thats just objective assessment. The only reason it has carried on is because people got real familiar with very shitty design choices.
I think you may want to consider opening yourself up to trying a whole new UX. Try out GNOME would be my suggestion. NixOS is another positive choice. You can install almost all your software graphically in basically 1 click using flatpak too these days and thanks to steam and their investment in proton. Most steam games work REALLY WELL on Linux.
One of my harder earned life lessons is it’s structurally impossible to run a company that develops and sells a product based on this kind of soft values and buying devices from them is almost always a recipe for disappointment. It doesn’t even have to be the fault of the company (though it often is)
I’m currently using a PinePhone Pro as my daily driver and if you want something to play around with that’s definitely an option (though the PinePhone is probably a little more stable and less tinkery).
If you care less about it being a “free” phone built specifically for Linux and just want something that works, then rooting some older phone with good support will probably provide a better experience.
I don’t see anyone addressing what should be the main concern: purism as a long history of internal toxicity and screws up. There were problem and their CTO left a long time ago, since then everything went downhill. Their communication is also one of the worse I’ve seen. They don’t mind lying, it feels borderline scam sometimes.
Whatever the price and the alleged goal I would not get behind a shady organization.
Nothing is perfect but Purism has been way passed the limits for me a long time ago.
