Personally, I wouldn't recommend immutable distros, as I think they limit our freedoms far too much, not that the way the general stack is going doesn't do that already. Not debating that here, since it's a hot and controversial topic currently, at least in the segment of the linux using population that cares about this stuff and which picked linux for that. Imo, if we do this, we'll basically make of the OS one block, from bootloader, to kernel, to initramfs, to display manager and finally desktop, especially since I'm hearing whispers of attempts at removing the tty kernel rendering being done, which will force us into using a specific compositor, desktop and so on, so we'll be exactly like windows or mac or android, so we lost everything, and then what's the point of linux?
If you want to use immutable distros anyway, I don't recommend silverblue for gaming, but I do recommend you give ublue linux a try, it has many drivers included, even some udev rules.
@AudraTran@linux_gaming what was that last thing? an image? if so, can you put alt text on it, I dk what it's supposed to mean. Also, it does work for me, as in, I was able to follow the group and post some comments on specific threads, though unfortunately they appear on the other side with no username, at least none I can see, maybe there's an avatar but it's not labeled
for those of you who are passionate about #linux#gaming, even if on the #computer or #SteamDeck, be that on #arch, #fedora, #ubuntu or something else, I recommend you subscribe to the lemi sub...what, reddit, thread? dedicated to this: @linux_gaming
Even if you don't make an account on lemi.world or another such instance, you can subscribe to the sub, by putting that handle in your search bar, or clicking it here if you're on mastodon, since lemi is a fediverse platform. I dk if the r/linuxgaming community will be going away soon, but given what's happening with reddit, maybe it won't shut down when the protests are over, if they ever will be, which I hope is not likely.
"Tafkars stands for "The API formerly known as...", is written in Rust and is pronounced like "tough cars". Tafkars is an API proxy that allows apps to talk to Lemmy through a familiar API from a kinder time. The hope is that this will make it easy for app developers to support Lemmy with only minimal code changes." @fediverse
Reddit's strategy of antagonizing app writters, moderators, and millions of redditors is good news for reddit alternatives like KBin and Lemmy. And not just them! The fediverse has always grown in waves and we're at the start of one.
Previous waves have led to innovation but also major challenges and limited growth. It's worth looking at what tactics worked well in the past, to use them again or adapt them and build on them. It's also valuable to look at what went wrong or didn't work out as well in the past, to see if there are ways to do better.
Here's the current table of contents:
I'm flashing!!!!!
But first, some background
Don't tell people "it's easy"
Improve the "getting-started experience"
Keep scalability and sustainability in mind
Prioritize accessibility
Get ready for trolls, hate speech, harassment, spam, porn, and disinformation
Invest in moderation tools
Values matter
This is a great opportunity – and it won't be the last great opportunity
