TCB13 OP , 3 months ago to technology in Riley Testut launches Delta emulator on US App Store (free) - shows middle finger to Europe (payment required)

RetroArch

Do you have experience with it? Isn’t RetroArch a frontend to another solutions? How does that play in iOS? Does it come with the other code compiled and bundled? How does it get around the fact that in iOS it can’t just launch another executable for xyz?

And also because realistically there’s no need for any other distro. :P

Did you miss the part where Europens will have to pay 1.50€/year to have access to Delta while Americans can get it for free on the App Store?

having it loaded from his own does.

This isn’t even true. Apps distributed via alternative stores are subject to notarization and are signed as well. Apple can take any app down at any point - even if distributed by a 3rd party store.

In the US you can go to the App Store and download Delta for free. In the EU you’re forced to pay 1.50€/year because he decided to only make it available on the AltStore.

However, it isn’t this magical desktop and if your computer is bound up by a drawing text and icons on the display then Xfce4 is not going to help you. KDE and Gnome are both a little ram heavy but that’s because they are much bigger desktops.

Exactly, they are bigger thus require more resources and will run slow on older hardware as many people complain. I personally don’t feel that GNOME is very noticeable slower but, I do believe there’s an extra very short delay when windows are to be drawn, on my main desktop because of it’s larger size but due to the fact that everything is forcefully animated. The DE kinda gets in my way with those animations instead of just click > apear like Xfce does.

No, the animations aren’t running slower on my hardware than in any other hardware… the issue is that there are animations and those take time to complete.

Can you try Xfce and report back?

has worked just as quickly as Syncthing

Ahaha you funny guy. Can you have a look at this? From what I’ve seen people either say NC works really well and very fast or that it is complete trash. I really wanted to make it work, and I regularly try the thing again to always end up with piles of javascript erros on my browser.

TCB13 , 3 months ago to selfhosted in Migrate from nextcloud photo backups to immich?

Did you happen to have a look at my post. I believe what’s there is way more than “comically slow and laggy” it’s just yet another time NC overpromised and underdelivered. I’m used to Roundcube and web both know that thing is very fast and reliable.

What’s the point of storing millions of emails on a DB if the software is 50x slower than something that doesn’t do that?

Yes. It’s a joke.

Just because a slight delay doesn’t bother you it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. The first times I used GNOME I actually was convinced it was some issue with my computer / setup. After countless installations on different distros and also dealing with it at work and friend’s computers I came to the conclusion that is it slower than Xfce and most likely KDE. There’s no way around it.

To be fair, as you said in another comment I don’t believe this is CPU bound at all, nor GPU. Multiple machines some Intel with iGPUs others with discrete GPUs, others with AMD, all the same behavior. I’m way more inclined to believe this is an I/O issue above all, GNOME needs to read and load a lot more stuff than Xfce to render any window thus it will be slower.

Anyways, I never experienced this much, but if you google around people that are using older machines say that GNOME is always the slowest thing on those machines. Others such as Xfce they report it as performing better, so if on an old machine the slowdown once using GNOME is noticeable by almost everyone it means it does indeed use more resources. You can throw an i9 to at the issue but the fact is that it will always use more resources no matter of the hardware you have.

In my case I tend to be particular sensible to small delays than you or others but it’s there and old machines prove it. It’s not that I can’t use Gnome ever or it provides the worst desktop experience ever, no, it works fine and can be productive but I notice the delays.

TCB13 , 3 months ago to linux in If you've recently started experiencing input delay / lag in GNOME Terminal in Ubuntu 22.04

No, but we both know it is a big chunk. It works, and it is mostly fine, but it is certainly slower than Xfce and adds more pain with animations.

People installing proprietary software.

You are aware that you never got Adobe / MS Office / Autodesk for Linux because Linux is very bad when it comes to supporting developers aren’t you? Unlike all other platforms out there you’ve to deal with multiple DE that are ever changing and half baked. You also have to deal with the lack of proper documentation into APIs and frameworks to make developer’s lives easier.

TCB13 , 3 months ago to linux in If you've recently started experiencing input delay / lag in GNOME Terminal in Ubuntu 22.04

So am I to understand that your complaint about Gnome has changed from “I have severe performance issues and input lag, even using a desktop i7” to “minimising has a 0.2 second animation, just as practically every other UX has, and rather than just turn it off

No it hasn’t. My complaints about GNOME have expanded a bit, just that. The UI is definitely slower than let’s say Xfce and to make things even worse adds pointless animations.

and rather than just turn it off

That’s the issue, you can’t turn off ALL Gnome animations, there’s a toggle on settings that reduces about 90% of the nonsense but you’ll still get some animations.

The better question is, what’s NOT wrong with Nextcloud?

Nextcloud is also a perpetually half made project that breaks at every corner and requires a lot of resources. The sync works until you add like a TB of small files and it never works fine again, unlike Syncthing that can handle whatever you need. Also unlike FileBrowser the WebUI is slow at listing files and related operations. The webmail is yet another pile of JS errors and nonsense idiotic stuff like being unable to show a bullet list.
