My big issue is that a lot of the Aussie subs went full right wing (Murdoch media type stuff.

I don’t even bother browsing it anymore.

Really hope we keep the click bait out of here and keep the more scientifically oriented community

I think I tried emudeck and it wouldn’t install. But that wasn’t their issue (turned out to be a regression upstream).

I think I had stuttering sound in audio too. But that’s via HDMI.

Spdif no issue

I also used another gaming distro though so might be confusing them

They should absolutely keep developing it. It will only get better, and I’m a unique case because I’ve been using Linux probably since 1998 or so.

But I feel they make things a bit more custom, and it will only get better. It has a lot of potential, and is probably the best option already for many people

Yeah. And honestly, way land already works fine (even screen sharing). Waydroid is a bit of a killer app too (but needs more refinement,).

Gimp runs in windows. The security thing isn’t really true (X11 isn’t secure and it can’t be fixed apparently)

In fact, as others have said, really bad comparison…

I tried it. Gave up and moved to regular fedora at the end. I didn’t see any real benefits personally

I did like many of the ideas, like gamescope is built in. But I think I had minor issues

I disagree… The problem actually is that Wayland is optional, and still is.

So everyone was dragging their heels (and some still are). If all the major distro’s set a cut off date, then things would speed up. The biggest reason for delay was Nvidia imho, so now that they’re sorted, it seems things are falling into place faster.

X11 still hasn’t solved any of their real issues, and its still a security nightmare (which can’t be fixed). Furthermore, most of the developers have moved off it.

What exactly do you like about X11?

I hope you need a 500mb driver to use it too with an installer that pops up every reboot, even if you press cancel.

Otherwise, it’s clear that it fails at being a mouse

And the biggest badasses I know also drive some of the crappiest cars and such too.

When more hilariously, here in Australia, I do a lot of hiking and such, and the badasses these days tend to be women. There’s a lot of macho guys who talk big, but I’ve done some scary hikes with elderly women and a woman with Parkinson’s.

The guys and women i.know who do the most crazy stuff also tend to be the most friendly people

Actually, I did have this exact issue last time I used bazzite, and ended up switching to fedora.

Bluetooth would just stop working. Which was an issue because I was using a dual shock as a mouse and for gaming

Looking forward to an upgraded crossover office along with it

He’s 1/3 Hitler 2/3rds dictator

The kind of people who actively vote for him probably aren’t the most charitable people

I will be so happy when we stop hearing about this “AI” nonsense for literally everything. The only good thing is that at least there are less wankers trying to throw “block chain” into everything

This was one of those toxic questions designed to cause people to argue. That’s really its ONLY purpose. It really only has 2 answers, and both can be interpreted as toxic.

My 2 cents though, here in Australia, you’ll occasionally get a question about staying safe when hiking as women.

You’ll have a huge majority of women saying its safe to hike in Australia, and then 1 or 2 women encouraging women to bring knives or weapons. The ones who claim this then get a huge negative response by both women and guys pointing out it makes things more dangerous for everyone and that nobody needs them.

As a male guide also, I’ve actually found it difficult to find other guys to hike with, but it is incredibly trivial for me to find women to join me (in fact, doing one this upcoming weekend).

So, interpret that as you will, but, honestly, the people who are incredibly invested in either of these answers, in my opinion, nobody would want to hike with regardless (bears, other women or men), so the answer doesn’t affect them.

Not really. On Lemmy, it seems to just refer to anything these days

And that includes theoretical predictions for things that never happened yet

You can’t think of it a single massive project. It’s actually lots of small components.

We could argue the linux kernel is bloated too. The reality is though, provided the project is designed to be modular (as SystemD is), it actually makes sense to keep it together, to ensure there is a standard base and all the components are synchronised fully with their API’s.

It also saves distro’s a lot of effort.

Can we talk about the enshittifation of Lemmy. Where everyone seems to be calling everything enshittified?

Lemmy has gotten to the point everything is getting classed as enshittification or whatever

It’s actually getting crappy being here

Like the whole section about macos. Apple constantly screws developers, and somehow, the author has seemed to blame Valve lol. There’s a lot of reason lots of people don’t develop for Mac, and they’re mostly valid rather than political

Or GitHub. In the real world, developers don’t have any issues. Only in Lemmy, where people are even focusing on stupid things, so a barely visible unobtrusive sentence on a table mentions copilot lol

If this is real, this is actually a good idea. Even things like multi monitor management work a lot better on KDE imho

Every time I hear someone say AI, I know for sure they have no idea what they’re talking about and are about to grift people

It’s a worse issue though. Don’t forget that companies like Sony have put literal rootkits onto their audio CD’s as part of protection. And lots of owners have gotten screwed by updated protection schemes on legitimate hardware (which is why companies like Dune HD seemed to give up)

You’re not only giving them permission to play back a movie, but, on BluRays, you give them permission to run code too on your player.

The house always wins with BluRays. They’re not cheap, they can fail prematurely, and you can’t back them up. And a lot of the companies have screwed us for decades now. It’s absolutely insane

Unless you’re buying from small companies, otherwise companies like Disney simply get more power
