nvidia fucking sucks, after each kernel update theres issues with installing drivers and theres nothing I can do except for waiting for nvidia to release newer drivers

Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?

On the one hand I like GOG because it has no DRM and has better prices (in my country) than Steam and I have the feeling that on the one hand it follows more the open source philosophy than Steam itself, but Steam has helped enormously to play Windows games on Linux, so I haven’t really made up my mind....

So what did it take for you to go to Linux? (kbin.melroy.org)

I'm asking what big motivational factors contributed to you into going Linux full-time. I don't count minor inconveniences like 'oh, stutter lag in a game on windows' because that really could be anything in any system. I'm talking, something Windows or Microsoft has done that was so big, that made you go "fuck this, I will go...

Privacy - the main reason. Besides for that were a lot of annoying and ridiculous reasons to switch like:

  • BSOD in the middle of gaming/meeting/etc,
  • forced updates that made it impossible to shutdown your pc without installing an update first

I could name further and further but those are the main reasons. Now I’m using Debian for 2 years and it is the best distro by far.

Does anyone have experience with Fairphone? Im gonna buy new phone and need recommendation

Did you install Steam via flatpak or normally?

Cute, I would definitely pet him ngl

Why would someone want to ddos ur small site, real ddos is extremely expensive attack,

Mull browser is decent too

shekau ,

Sorry I meant mullvad browser, not Mull.

Mull is for Android. Thanks for correction :)

shekau ,

I’m using Mullvad browser for over a year on Linux and I can recommend. It’s basically TBB without TOR

I prefer Debian, my favourite distro by far

Avoid Google Play Store. Use Aurora store instead.

How SUSE Is Replacing Red Hat as the Linux and Open Source Enterprise Standard-Bearer (fossforce.com)

It’s become clear to many that Red Hat’s recent missteps with CentOS and the availability of RHEL source code indicate that it’s fallen from its respected place as “the open organization.” SUSE seems to be poised to benefit from Red Hat’s errors. We connect the dots.

I really really really hope!!

They’re overpopulated anyway, there’s simply way too much people there. Like at least 400 million people should be removed, so that the world would be better place.

LOL, it finally loaded for me after few moments

Flatpak is the best - thats all you need to know!!!

But seriously, apart from obvious things other people have said, I would like to add that the HUGE advantage of flatpak is that each app is using its own dependencies, this way you can avoid dependency hell, which is mostly time-consuming and hard to fix.

Its only in Android version, not flatpak version

There are more examples every day of things Wayland can do that X11 cannot

What are the examples Wayland can do and X11 cannot?

Found a security bug in LMDE6, need some help (i.imgur.com)

I have an older Intel laptop that has a 1600x900 display, and I find that if I put the machine to sleep, connect an external monitor with a higher resolution, and then turn it back on, the login screen doesn’t adjust to the new resolution and it reveals what I had open (see photo)....

shekau ,

I recently realised that TAILS uses Wayland. For whole time I’ve been thinking that it uses X11 like Debian by default, but to my surprise, it doesn’t.

shekau ,

The same thing with zip, just use “unzip <file>” right?

shekau ,

Why? they don’t like using AUR or what?

Skibidi toilet is too compliacted…

This, and don’t forget that gnome comes with their pre-installed email client called “Evolution” which you cannot uninstall because it depends on core elements of gnome.

I am learning flatpak. Can someone explain why is like that???

I’ve been playing league of legends but sadly just finished my binge because they released their proprietary Vanguard kernel-level anticheat which completely makes it impossible to play LoL on Linux.

I use Mull Browser from Mullvad as my primary browser, but before Mull Browser I’ve been using FF.

The US is normalizing the cruelest mass killing method to stop bird flu (www.vox.com)

Last year, I wrote a great deal about the rise of “ventilation shutdown plus” (VSD+), a method being used to mass kill poultry birds on factory farms by sealing off the airflow inside barns and pumping in extreme heat using industrial-scale heaters, so that the animals die of heatstroke over the course of hours. It is one of...

I’m using Debian and LoL is running smoothly, dont know about other games you mentioned

Best Desktop Distro for Gaming?

I currently run windows 10 on my main desktop PC, and also have a steam deck that I sometimes use in desktop mode instead of my desktop. With the way Windows is going, and the way Linux Gaming is dramatically improving, I might consider ditching Windows, at least for the most part, on my next PC build. What would be the best...

I’m using Debian ☠☠

One can use backported version of software in Debian, I use it and it works good so far.
