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. Idiotic forks with no futureI don't want to use kubuntu or ubuntu. Broken snaps and apt package manager integrated with snaps by default.So that's it huh, desktop Linux is dead
Linux distros are less about the packages newness in the repos now and moreover how well they support flatpak and kde with wayland.kde is the future competitor to windows 11 so any distro that is clean out of the box with flatpaks and kde discover will be good.flatpaks have made distros and alarge extent gaming problems obsolete since they just werk. Heroic games launcher flatpak and steam work flawlessly.
>>107691848>If you want to use nvidia on linux, consider selling your GPU and replacing it with AMD. If you're going to use Linux use AMD.Never understood this meme. nvidia cards work fine on linux and the nvidia linux drivers are way higher quality and crash way less & less issues like AMD reset bug, MES crash etc.
>>107691848>Use an all AMD PC, use flatpaks in discover. Done. Flatpaks carry the entire Linux desktop to where it really does just werk. They just werk. Latest version of steam with the latest mesa drivers on flatpak.NTA, but I will never use container images willingly. I hate the store concept and everything that represents for software. Just let your CI build a tarball containing the thing and any unicorn libraries that need to be exactly version X or Y. Then I can even run it from a flash drive if I want.
>>107691888For new users AMD like a 9070xt will be better than a 5080 because nvidia isn't supported out of the box on Linux. AMD works with no driver installs
>>107691900It's the most progress Linux has made in 15+ years unifying the desktop and getting ever so close to the coveted mythical year of the Linux desktop.Flatpaks for Normie's are great on Linux. One click install just works on every machine exactly the same, no fragmentation.KDE is also a good project because its a clean, good looking modern desktop that's fast, and a real competitor to windows 11

>>107691496Don't know if the original MX518 could do 1000Hz but the Intellimouse around that time could.
>>107691496>The only advantage was not having to worry abut the refresh rate, especially in the late 00s when they were ports from the 360 and assumed you're using an LCD monitor. >Too many games had no option to set the refresh rate from the menu and would default to 60Hz, and sometimes even forcing it thought the GPU drivers didn't always work correctly.That's a downside many people don't talk about when talking about CRTs these days. If you couldn't or didn't have 1:1 refresh with the CRT, you'd have double images, nullifying any motion advantage (plus higher end CRTs used pretty fast phosphors so even at 60Hz if the game didn't let you switch higher, the flicker was awful for hours of gaming).
>>107686170Should be more Indian.
>>107691526I'm pretty sure both were 125Hz but they had very good sensors with no built in acceleration and corner snapping. >>107691540CRTs can work at arbitrary refresh rates and resolutions, they don't have a "native" refresh rate or resolution as such. The problem was 60Hz flickers visibly.
>>107691582>CRTs can work at arbitrary refresh rates and resolutions, they don't have a "native" refresh rate or resolution as such.>The problem was 60Hz flickers visibly.I literally said:>If you couldn't or didn't have 1:1 refresh with the CRTIt's useless that CRTs can work with arbitrary refresh rates (most panels can too actually), the problem was when you couldn't run a game at, at least the FPS of the refresh rate or the game was hardcoded to something like 30 or 60 FPS. Anything that didn't have the FPS : refresh at 1:1 would cause double images on CRTs, no matter what refresh and the second problem was 60Hz and lower, specially on fast phosphor CRTs is painful.

>Only fucking GNOME supports real fractional scaling on a 4k screen>Is also one of the worst DEsWhat is this bullshit?
>>107690422It doesn't support _real_ fractional scaling. What it does is that it renders things at an integer scaling and then downscales the window as a texture, making it blurry as shit. It's implemented like this because gnome devs are also gtk devs so they are fucking retarded and didn't implement fractional scaling in gtk (intentionally). Qt supports fractional scaling properly, including on x11 (and all other operating systems/display servers that it can run on).

Installed this bad boy today locally on my laptop (i dont care about network wide adblocking), it's better than simply putting the public servers on control panel because i have this dashboard where i can view statistics and easily block sites with a toggle switch.>inb4 ublock is betterIt is better in some cases, but i dont like to use browser extensions.>inb4 shillim not, it's just comfy, anons
>>107691839Does it actually work?Because I have used things like pyhole before and it sucks.
>>107691850Yes, but dns ad blocking is weaker than ublock. It doesnt blocks yt ads, for example.
>>107691859why can a browser like brave block pretty much every ad, but dedicated adblockers can't

>>107691488>waah you're a poor, brown and a tranny incelCompelling argument, retard. Go ahead list them. It's all pajeetware bullshit Windows could do without, because it did. >>107691553Yes they would I've used every major Windows version since 3.11.7 is snappy running from a period correct 7200 RPM HDD.
>>107690681It's not just windows. Chrome does that too, scans whole drive every single day trashing the drive and uploads log to jeet mothership.
>>107691619>Yes they would I've used every major Windows version since 3.11.You have to be over 18 to post here.>7 is snappy running from a period correct 7200 RPM HDD.No it's not. With a 7200rpm drive they will, at best, manage to boot up on a fresh new install. If you use any modern application or even just an antivirus, they will slow down to a barely useable crawl. One of the first things we used to do when servicing Windows 7 machines was to change the boot drive to an SSD, fortunately they all use at most 500GB HDDs inside so it's easy to just do an image copy to a same size SSD, then run from that and have everything be 1000x faster.Shit, I have an old Turion laptop somewhere that took ten minutes to boot Win7 from a HDD, then I swapped one of my old spares in and now it's snappy as Speedy Gonzalez, I mean as long as you don't do anything that would require CPU calculations or use more than 2GB of RAM (so basically one browser tab only).
What has changed in the last 20 years?Image formats, audio formats, video formats, codecs, etc. all are basically the same. No new software that really requires a new computer. Everything you can do today can be done on a 15 year old computer.What has even changed in operating systems? Shiny buttons, fancy graphics, and more fluff just so people have something to feel good about when they post their lame ricing screenshots.After so many years, we still don't even have an open design of a CPU, Motherboard, RAM or any component. Forget current generation, if that's too much to ask, but even the ones from a decade ago don't have an open design. At least that would've been good reason to upgrade.Otherwise, what even is the point of upgrading the computer so often? Just to play stupid video games?
>>107691738Local AI is the only reason right now to scale up.It's going to take what maybe 5 more years when you actually need to upgrade if not more.It depends also what cpu type you have AM4 or AM5 if AVX512 will become important in the future then I at least need to upgrade.
you can't probably even move around your browser without at least 8gb ram
A few of you may have discovered today that thumbnails suddenly stopped loading in Firefox. I did.Checking the browser console, I found errors for each thumbnail in the catalog which said "A resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking, please check browser console for details."After disabling browser.opaqueResponseBlocking in about:config, those error messages turned into 403's and the images would still not load.I did a desuarchive search for Firefox and found a post in /trash/ saying "I figured it out. 4chan is now asking for referrers when requesting images from 4cdn... TL:DR; 4chan wants to know where you were before loading an image." along with a screenshot of all about:config settings with the word "referer" in them.With the help of that screenshot, I pinpointed the issue to network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy in about:config, which I had set to 2 for whatever reason, I don't know. Setting it to 0 fixed the problem.Most of you on Firefox probably won't experience this since 0 is the default setting.So, for those of you also experiencing this issue, there's the fix, and now the fix is on desuarchive for others to find.Feel free to discuss the technological/privacy ramifications of this change by 4chan, or if the /trash/ poster's analysis is correct.
>>107669497>Don't just let any faggot know where you're coming from, install referrer spoofer addonModern browsers use the strict-origin-when-cross-origin referrer policy by default, and common extensions like uBlock Origin already can and do override Referrer-Policy header values on network responses to tear out any more privileged value.This means only the origin (i.e. domain/hostname) will be sent, not the resource you were actually looking at.If that's not good enough for you, you can override to no-referrer by default and white-list certain domains that need it to allow for strict-origin-when-cross-origin.You don't need separate additional extensions.
>>107674247>can detect all of the websites you were visited beforeReferrer header only contains the one previous website you came from. It cannot see the whole chain.There is intentionally no browser API that allows for this.
Maybe one of you can help me fix my shitI'm on Firefox and the "please verify that you're human" cloudflare check doesn't work on 4chan specifically (and not in incognito either). I press verify and it keeps looping and nothing happens. I can visit other sites just fine. I've had this issue a week ago >>107611158 and >>107612219 and since then I've just been posting normally because it fixed itself out of nowhere. if this gonna keep happening I'd like an actual way to fix it
>>107691419Whitelisting is clearly necessary. How do you use that in uBlockOrigin?

I like my Valhalla 2 ampthat is all pswhy do akg headphones look so good on anime girls, but suck ass in real life? Makes you think.
>>107690843yeah but the only thing I ever see audiophiles talk about is music
>>107691840just use decent speakers if you want to listen to podcasts/games/movies w/e.good used speakers are free-$100 used because the shear volume of boomers getting rid of them doesn't match how many people want them. Anything super high end is still $1k+ but good quality ones are still absurdly cheapget a decent receiver/amp and basically any speaker from mirage,paradigm,energy,athena(less so), klispch,roland,mission etc. It's sort of country based so you'll have to see whats around in your country, anyways loads are from golden years of canadian speaker manufacturing or the ukhaving a decent set of speakers for games or movies is beyond kino anon i highly recommend it.
