For what it’s worth, they have experimental Wayland support. It’s an important distinction. For example, Cinnamon has experimental Wayland support IIRC and last time I tried setting up a lock screen on my ThinkPad (you know, for security purposes, since it’s a laptop and all) I wasn’t able to get one working.

Exactly. It took me 4 hours a couple months ago to get a scanner to work on our Windows 11 PC. It turns out there was some Windows Image Acquisition service built in that had to be disabled because it was conflicting with the driver of the scanner. Absolute insanity lmao

I told one of my friends about this since my friends sometimes tease me about using Linux, their response was get a better scanner.

lol

I’d say PSP is, but Vita isn’t. DS is, but 3DS isn’t.

Somehow it doesn’t surprise me at all that they’ve banned porn. Not only that, but it sounds like they’ve banned John Wick movies too.

This is the future. The Internet is no longer open.

Wow, that is some nightmare fuel type shit. That’s actually crazy.

I’ve been pretty lucky that I’ve been able to use Linux on my work laptop the past 3 jobs in a row. It really helps that we use Linux production in and when I tell them that I haven’t used Windows in nearly a decade, they’re usually willing to let me work with Linux.

Well, I’d say it’s because they don’t even hide it anymore. They know they can do whatever they want, and get away with it.

Enshitification is a real thing, and companies and evil people are being blatant about it, because they know they don’t have to hide it because they know they can’t be stopped.

It sucks. I hate it. I wish we could do something about it.

I’m not sure how I feel about that. If they use an LLM for troubleshooting an issue, does that mean the game must be thrown out? What if they use an LLM for repetitive tasks like creating config files, then the game is no good?

What about shovelware games that are just asset flips without any use of an LLM, are those games okay?

I don’t think it’s necessarily as simple as using generative AI in any way means the game is bad.

I use LLMs at work, does that mean that another developer who refuses to try LLMs is immediately a better developer than me? I’m not so sure it’s that simple.

sometimes issues crop up with bleeding-edge updates, just keep an eye on the forums before updating.

So to me, that sounds not ideal for someone new to Linux.

I know someone who was fed up with Windows recently, and they decided it’s finally time to switch to Linux. Me and another person recommended Linux Mint, but they got many other recommendations for Arch. They went with Arch, and it hasn’t gone boom yet, but I’m not sure if it’s a matter of time or what.

I have heard Arch is more “stable” these days than it used to be, but I’m not sure.

I use Ubuntu myself except for on my ThinkPad where I use Mint, and I’m gonna switch to Mint on my desktop eventually.

Ah yes, the only thing that matters for gaming is checks clipboard, oh that’s right, HDR. Very well said.

I’ve tried both 10 and 11, though not much for gaming since I mostly only game on Linux these days. On my Windows machine, 11 has issues with my scanner, it has some stupid service that conflicts with my scanner, it’s called something like “Windows image acquisition service”, I need to stop that service every time I want to scan a document. It’s so dumb.

Windows 10 was better than 11.

I would guess no, just so Elon can feel like he’s right. lol

As expected lol

I would. I gave llamafile a try, and while it’s good, they have an issue with parsing responses that have {{ and }} in them, so it’s kind of useless for Laravel development unfortunately lol

That would be a truly dark day. I never liked their centralized dashboard functionality, it always seemed cumbersome to me.

I hope that doesn’t happen, but I guess if it does, I will really need to find a different monitoring tool.

Is that just for the centralized dashboard portion? I tend to use each instance of it standalone, and primarily for the email alerts.

Seconding Netdata, I’ve been using it for years. It’s pretty great.

Me too, I’ve already downloaded it. Though I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but I’m glad I was able to download it.

Wow, that’s a really complete list. Thanks for sharing! I might check out Dokploy some time, it sounds interesting.

I think this could be one of those times where they planned on announcing it with the intentions of it getting shut down.

It’s actually one of my biggest annoyances, people announce projects they have no intentions of completing just to gain notoriety from having it get shut down.
