No but I fucking hate geforce experience and the fact that I need to have an Nvidia account to use the features of my hardware. Now I can remove that garbage app from my pc, thanks Valve.

Plenty of companies started using electron for writing cross platform apps, these apps(electron) use JavaScript engine, which makes it easy to develop these apps but as a tradeoff it uses more system resources than your regular native apps. And when they all do it(discord, vscode, steam etc.) you ask, why the hell do I need these dedicated apps if all they do is just start up a browser? I can just open another tab in firefox or whatever and be done with it.

This one I use on my pc, it’s from Fallout New Vegas.

I use this one on my phone, it’s a mix up of adventure time and bloodborne. I found them both on reddit some time ago, but don’t know the exact subreddits.

I recommend vesktop, it’s an open source discord client that pretty much fixed all the discord problems that I had on wayland. No need for nitro to stream high resolution, and it’s even compatible with betterdiscord themes 🤌.

Yeah you are right on that but there still are many backdoors on plenty of applications that are made by American companies. We also know that some agencies wanted to put backdoors on linux kernel etc. In that case why would you not trust an open source app, and trust a closed source one just because of the nationality of developers

I mean the same thing can be said about the USA, also if there are that many problems why don’t you just check the code, it’s one of the main strengths of open source software.

Since spotify was increasing the price AGAIN, I was willing to give Apple music a chance. Guess what, many of the soundtracks I listen to are not available in my country. Like why would you block it I already pay for the thing just let me listen to it. But I guess they just know better. And now I’m gonna selfhost my music just like I selfhost movies and tv shows.

Man there is a night and day difference between the comments here and on phoronix, what is their problem?

It actually recommends using nix-env -i, which is even worse because with that command it searches the whole repository instead of just getting the correct attribute on nixpkgs. It takes half a minute to run the command, it’s insane.

Next you want to rewrite everything in Rust.

Nice read, thanks for the insight.

I just started learning knitting today, I’m gonna make so many hats. Loving it so far.

Would I be contributing if I was using a mobile app like eternity or voyager?

If you really want the latest updates and technologies, you could use openSUSE or plain Arch. I heard Manjaro intentionally delays updates and I think in a rolling release cycle that would hurt the system. No idea about the size of repos on openSUSE but the other features are already there. Also if you think you can spend some more time to learn new things(nix programming language and more) I can recommend you to try NixOS or at least install the package manager( also called nix) on your current system. It is THE distro for reproducible builds. It has a huge repo too, rivaling AUR.

I use Arch btw.

Off topic but that one answer on superuser looks a lot like it was AI generated.

Paying for the product isn’t enough for them, you are still the product.

Just create a new partition, then in your home folder or somewhere else idk, create a folder and choose that as mount point.

Well, even when using X11 I preferred manually toggling my touchpad, but usually my mouse stays plugged for more than a few days so even then it doesn’t bother me that much to just toggle it once a week maybe. Not to invalidate the problem, it’s just how my experience is with wayland currently.

Off topic but your username looks different in my inbox. It says Nate here but in my inbox is says alphapuggle. Btw I’m using eternity for lemmy might be a bug on the app.

And apex legends started randomly banning Linux users again, how hard is it to fix the game that earns them millions of dollars every year? Unbelievable.
