I know people who use linux mint (or other distros that aim at user friendliness) who literally never have to touch the command line. This claim that you need to use the command line was true 5 years ago, but today it is largely false.

I am in a Linux User Group and I am literally the only person who uses a tiling window manager (I use hyprland) instead of DEs like kde, gnome, cinnamon, etc.

Theres this, just replace #plex with #jellyfin

I use linuxserver.io's docker container.

Assuming you're not joking, you have it the wrong way around. Gentoo is arch on steroids.

The shear amount of customization and raw power you have from from gentoo's use flags and how easy it makes it to compile a custom kernel is insane. On top of all that your system is insanely stable. If a package isn't in the repos, it's not difficult to package it. It is certainly way easier to write a gentoo ebuild over an arch build script.

You can get a hold of them via #eBay. Every now and then a business upgrades and floods the market.

One of these days I want to buy a whole bunch of them and build a #Beowulf cluster.

@ShootBANGdang @Selmafudd

yeah, once one person comments it suddenly gets bumped to the front of active on lemmy...

@hackris @Hovenko a lot of people use bottles. The official package is on flatpak.

@Audbol @AgreeableLandscape

The linux community sees wsl as eee

@elmiar @LastoftheDinosaurs

Hey that isn't how you convert people to the cult of NixOS

@helmet91 @Xylight

I have only really used upstream distros (specifically what I've used is debian, open suse, Arch, Gentoo, and nixOS). I've never had audio issues, except when I first started using Gentoo, as I was missing some compile flags.

That being said I only started using Linux 3 years ago.

@WarlordSdocy @ExperimentalGuy

I have the same and opposite issue.

Part of the reason that I am always using #linux is because so much of my workflow these days requires Linux, that when I play something like a #bethesda game (modding them is just less of a hassle on Windows) it just feels wrong and uncomfortable.

@CapraObscura @sin_free_for_00_days

I think steam deck is usually considered linux.

Benefits to proton after all make it out to linux. ChromeOS and Android are more debatable, although Google does submit a lot of code upstream to the kernel.

@Rooki @ghariksforge

I mean, python is named after Monty Python.

@mojo @Vuraniute

They justify their telemetry as it helps them to decide, "the best places to allocate dev time to improve the platform."

IMO, this info almost never necessary to help improve the platform. Usually if a feature isn't well used, it will get less dev time, ignoring the fact that it mght be less used because it isn't well implemented. The converse could also happen, they allocate dev time to a feature that isn't well used to try and make it more used, which might ignore the fact that it is quite frankly a useless feature.

@porkins

Embrace, extend, extinguish.

It was an internal Microsoft term for bringing stuff under their umbrella

@razieltakato @pyromaniac_donkey yeah, if you read the news posts you won't have issues.

Breaking changes are also fewer and farther between these days.

@davidgro @AgreeableLandscape

Are you using hot or active? If you're using active it is because someone posted a comment, as it works via most recent comment instead of post date

@WldFyre @CCatMan

Each user is roughly $200/year for Facebook Iirc.

@QuazarOmega @zeerooth

I don't understand why people do that. I am currently a cs student and I found that I spent more time using chatGPT than just doing things properly

@Maraval26 @adrianmalacoda

The glp code is still being copywrite laundered into copilot.

@toallpointswest @Hextic @atmur

A good well supported native port will always be better than #proton or #wine.

If you don't believe me just compare with a game like #factorio in the late game.

This is a bit of a cherry picked example, however, as resource usage for a game like that matters a lot more in late game.
