It's spooky but it's probably already spooky

I don't want to use Debian, shit installer and old packages, all CLI system managementI don't want to use arch, shit CLI installer, breakages and unstableI don't want to use fedora, broken and needs codecs retardation out of the box is brokenI don't want to use opensuse, killing off yast for no reason something that works for 20+ years now fragmentingI don't want to use mint, cinnamon sucks, ugly blue grey guhnome theming, nemo is slower than windows 10 FM, no KDE plasma and the devs are mentally I'll and don't care about their spinsI don't want to use arch derivatives, mentally ill shit like cachyOS or endeavour OS.

Linux does not support sound cards even on a basic level, and you expect people to have taken it seriously over the last 30 years for desktop use?
>>107692656it's still the best sound card if you aren't a streamer thoughbeit
Linux still supports hardware mixing for multiple sources playing simultaneously. In practice, nobody cares aside from creators of embedded devices where shit like this will spike the CPU to 30%.
>>107693217ALSA is the way to do Audio on Linux, it’s how the Kernel exposes audio hardware to userspace.; Everything else sits on top because ALSA is barebones and exists to expose hardware to user space, not manage application audio. ALSA will always be available, but you lose a lot of the niceties like audio routing, session management and so on.
>>107692501windows users are hopelessly retarded, virtually nobody uses a sound card in 2025
>>107692501>Put sound device in a noise filled environment like the interior of your PC instead of a nice small box in a noise free space connected via USBSoundcards were cool in the 90s but now every profesional audio equipment is USB, if you really care about audio quality you'd get rid of the sound card and get a good quality USB audio interface instead.

Notice how the only thing Rust trannies refuse to re-write is X11
>>107688985Would smash, honestly. And I'm not even a Zig user
>zigLiterally no one uses this memelang
>>107692803TruthNo one uses this memelangAll the threads starting flame wars about Zig, Jonathan Blowjob or Odin are just shill threads for shitty memelangs nophono cares aboutThe only things you need are C#, Java, C++ and RustEverything else “solves” a non-issue
>>107689402Personally, I don't like the categorization of "C/C++ replacement". Modern C++ is enormously complex and, when used idiomatically, looks very different from C. That's why I see Rust and Zig as filling different niches. Rust is a C++ replacement, an already very complex language with extra features being added each version. Zig is a C replacement, a simpler language focused on manual control.I like many things about Rust, like the trait syntax and sum types, but I'm not completely sold on the borrow checker. But the real reason I avoid the language is social. The community is full of deranged ideological shill types. I don't mean flooding formerly technical forums with leftist politics and getting people who object canceled, though they do that too. I mean that they are very ideological about Rust, which makes it very hard to get a reasonable assessment of the language's weaknesses.
>>107694894What if you use Zig for the low level metal stuff and Rust for what’s above that?
been using fedora since 2018, never tried any other distro but im not afraid of using the command line to do stuff like disk partitioning/installing a DE (i run fedora server btw). however i think i've got a case of wanderlust, i want to try something new, something not rpm based. arch bros? debian bros? ubuntu bros?
>>107694429the only two problems i've had with fedora is codecs preventing an update and btrfs fucking everything up (requiring manual intervention with a live usb, i.e. not something i've always got access to)ubuntu seems to not have these problems
>>107694215try debian, it is the best simply because it's a distribution that doesn't try to babysit you like fedora, but is very independent (very minded distro) and stable, meaning you don't need to babysit it as you do with arch. besides the big repos and its lts nature, deb gives you space and peace of mind to learn (about everything) at your own pace, and be comfortable while doing so. be carefull tho, if you dont align to its proposals it can be a pain, you need to know some workarounds to get new software and for emulation/games, there are videos around teaching them. try it out on live and use the netinstall if youre going to install.
>>107694564would you still recommend it if i plan to install more up to date nvidia drivers than what 13 stable comes with? i know people tend to have opinions on stuff like backports
>>107694403>how big of a problem is snaps really?Not a huge problem desu. It's just hard to recommend Ubuntu when Linux Mint is similar in many ways but doesn't pull this kind of shit. It's not about Ubuntu being super terrible, it's about there being a better alternative.
>>107694581Not that anon, but in my experience installing stuff from backports works fine. It's running a frankendebian, not backports, that requires more experience and willingness to debug.
>Sandboxing is mandatory for all Mac App Store appsIs this why all /g/poos hate on macOS?You can't hack it as easily as linux/windows?
>>107694000>DON'T trust APPLE!!>>LINUX IS SUPERIOR SINCE YOU HAVE TO RELY ON RANDOM GITHUB USERS, ANONS WITH FURRY AVATARS, TRANNIES AND COMPANIES LIKE REDHAT, IBM, ORACLE, HUAWEI, INTEL, AMD!!!
>>107694233And you see an issue with this why? Having choices is great when only trusting is no longer acceptable. I have the ability to verify and this increases security.
>>107694797Apple is serious about security; they invest a lot in white hat hackers. What’s the Linux Foundation’s budget for this?
>>107694831There is a greater incentive to ensure security for Linux as it's more important infrastructure than a macOS computer. A budget is not necessary as a lot is free and open source that even Apple has greatly benefited from.
>>107694233>YOU HAVE TO RELY ON RANDOM GITHUB USERSBut I dont have to rely on random github users, I rely on redhat/ibm/fedora employees for the most part.

>>107694765Sounds more like hardware failure than filesystem failure.
>>107694957>>107694765In short: Buy a new drive and backup EVERYTHING now.Also: If it's an NVMe drive then check if there are any firmware updates for it.
>>107694933OpenSUSE is just Fedora but use Zypper instead and sometimes they name packages a bit differently.
>>107694765are you out of swap?
>>107694765There's no way to "fix" whatever's corrupted, unless you have redundancy or backups.

>>107694603Very NICE. Be sure not to turn into a raging NNNNNNNNNNN FAGGOT when something requires a little WORK and doesn't just tickle your nuts like ur mom's muff does mine, son. You stand at a crossroads that many of come to before. Some discovered a magical wonderland, and others walked into a hell of their own making due to demands that reality conform to their warped desires which they believed to be justified. MEHOAPS you shall discover THA MAGIC because the magic is certainly there to be discovered. _ TIP: If you do not like GNU PLUS LINUX it is because you are a NNNNNNNN FAGGOT and not because of any faults inherent to GNU PLUS LINUX itself.
