that was fast. I read about them speaking out I want to say about three days ago.

appreciate you lookin out 🥰

this mf whiffed and died lmao

can we not make this an instance thing

why are you laughing?!

Init managers for sure! Amongst file managers and DEs, firewalls, package managers, modern packaging systems and their sandbox/security systems, display servers (probably the funniest one), audio servers, filesystems.

Lots of stuff we should appreciate having as FOSS, especially the options we don’t choose.

Fully switching over for the last couple years has made this modularity feel especially apparent compared to commercial systems (when things aren’t always so seamlessly integrated) but I’m glad for it all; it’s really fucking cool to think about how dramatically you can change the experience of a Linux desktop OS.

the confounding tribalism behind its modularity. options are great, but they also bring out the absolute worst in many of us.

it’s not much of a problem until those options actually manage to fragment the desktop and server ecosystems, but the attitudes at play surely drive prospective newcomers away a bit.

An RX 6700XT, RTX 3060, or Arc B580 should all do nicely.

AMD and Intel are all in on Mesa, though using nvidia on Linux isn’t too bad now, even with Wayland, just as long as you’re not using mobile dGFX + Optimus.

All of the above are 12 GiB. For an extra 50 dollars more, if you’re really lucky, you may find the RX 9060 XT 16 GiB at MSRP but that’s a big if, and you may prefer to spare some funds and drop in a 5700X3D or 5600X3D a little later on to balance out the system.

Isn’t made by former team members of ableton as well?

nop. my overall desktop experience has improved substantially after I carved out my own niche of ‘creature comforts’.

feels lovely to have a system that works for you, rather than something that’s so adversarial.

The fluxer appimage will ‘install’ itself into /opt/ without your knowledge. I think because it’s essentially an electron package similar to stoat, standard notes and discord, large parts of it can self-update without needing to bump the actual package version, but this is really shitty behaviour considering what appimages are designed to do.

Banking apps may vary. Google wallet will not work sure to integrity / attestation but other contactless payment methods word.

this guy uses curve pay on graphene:

I’ve done it and I will accept nothing less. I’m glad though, that it’ll be expanding in availability to more than just google pixels.

yes

I got a pro because it was heavily discounted at the time. The one thing I sort of appreciated is the display LTPO thing, which enables it to gear all the way down to 1hz to save power.

thing is kinda moot since the 9a and 10a achieve significantly better battery life than the 10 pro (10a uses the prior gen SoC which seems to have better idle power characteristics).

it was, just in an early state under the developer settings

vendor collaboration is difficult to get right. hope it all goes well.

I genuinely wish that would be the case but client portfolio performance rarely has any bearing on it.

I guess I don’t have a comprehensive understanding of the proportion of affected users but I don’t think Intel suffered at all for the raptor lake failures, even though it affected workstations and notebooks (though I could be mistaken).

not trying to defend anyone but graphics drivers (particularly in windows) are black magic fuckery. It’s no easy task, Intel Arc has been a very public example of how difficult this can be with their first foray into serious dgfx.
