I've been using Bazzite for two and a half months now. I was originally concerned about the 'immutability.' but I haven't ran into an issue with it. I'm not super into Linux, or experienced with Linux outside of the basics and setting up web servers.

I use my machine for software development, gaming, and browsing. I don't want to get into distro ricing or make distro tinkering a hobby; I want the desktop environment to be productive for my own needs and 'just work'.

Does it 'Just Work,' tho? No lol. but it's good enough. I had a few bugs with wayland that went away after a restart. I have a few more bugs that are specific to certain applications: Steam, Valve's Deadlock, Brave browser.

I guess I can't play EA's 'competitive' games, but that's not really a problem, they're challenging the definition of 'competitive' and 'game' over there at EA. I haven't really had to do any hour long tinkering sessions to get anything to work. I did spend some time submitting a bug report for Brave and Deadlock.

I'll probably just replace brave partially or mostly with LibreWolf and hardened Firefox. At least this is an excuse to try those out.

>I still haven't gotten a good explaination for why Mint is so hated. I think cinimon looks nice.
There's a lot:
>no zram
zram is the standard on Linux for keeping RAM usage low. It's been in Linux for so long that Microsoft copied zram and put it into Windows 10 a decade ago. Mint STILL doesn't have zram which is ridiculous.
>Outdated kernel and software
You might plug in a peripheral and find it doesn't even work because Mint's kernel is too old. Or, you'll play a game and get half the FPS as on Bazzite because the kernel is too old. Plus, the software available on Mint is so old that its version of GIMP predates Proton lol; it's a nearly decade old version of GIMP whereas the rest of the Linux community is enjoying GIMP 3.0 which released this year.
>Stupid unfriendly interface decisions
I have no idea why installing software in Mint is done through a different program from updating software. Discover, Pamac, and GNOME Software all do both.
>Snapshots
You know system restore points on Windows? On Linux they are essentially free storage-wise if your distro uses Btrfs. Unfortunately, Mint used Ext4, an old file system that lacks SSD longevity features, has larger file sizes, and no native support for snapshots (aka system restore points). Mint instead achieves snapshots through a jerry-rigged, EXTREMELY inefficient method that fills up your entire drive.
>Cinnamon is FUNCTIONALLY outdated
Whether you like how Cinnamon looks doesn't change the fact it suffers from screen tearing, input lag, no fractional DPI scaling, and whole bunch of other crap that makes it unsuitable. This is largely because Cinnamon is still X11-only. Cinnamon's Wayland support has been pre-alpha for a long time and isn't improving any time soon, so don't wait on Cinnamon to catch up. If you want a Windows-esque UI that actually works, Plasma does the job far better WHILE using less RAM and CPU.

Basically, Mint was hailed as user-friendly back when "user-friendly Linux distro" meant "holy shit, WiFi actually works on this thing!", but that only impresses Linux old-timers. The fact is, almost every popular distro now is user-friendly, and much more so than Mint. Other distros don't leave you wondering why your SSD is suddenly full. Other distros don't leave you troubleshooting your peripherals. Other distros don't make your computer slow because you've run out of memory.
Mint was considered good back when Linux was shit; but Linux has evolved into something fucking incredible whereas Mint is stuck in 2016.

>Brave
I haven't had issues yet but this will be a big deal to me. Brave is an amazing browser and I gots to have it. But so far, no problems.
>EA
oh boy. I used to have Origin, then EA killed Origin to push the EA app and killed all my old licenses. Now I see EA goods as not worth it and will never forgive them. Sure, I only had $50 worth of games and a bunch of freebies, but the principle of it proved I can never trust you again.
I don't like modern competitive slop. Only online competitive games I play are Tekken and fighting games. I hate battle royals.
>Does it 'Just Work,' tho? No lol. but it's good enough.
Seems to be the consensus if you don't need to be on the bleeding edge or play the newest Multiplayer slop. May get into ricing one day but today aint that day and tomorrow aint looking like it either.

Have fun debugging elixir while wrangling those Erlang VMs your elixir project is deployed to.

Programming Ruby is enjoyable, and I can attest to that. If I need speed, I re-implement hot spots in C (happened about 5 times in 21 years of Ruby programming). Much less stressful.

>I'm trying to avoid GC

Why?

Do you understnand the cost of "avoiding GC"?

Do you have an idea of how modern GC work and where do they impact performance and where they DON'T impact performance?

>>106471877
>that think "GC bad" without even knowing what the word "semantics" means. The language is designed around having ARC, but saying that it is in conflict with manual management is completely false. The whole point is that ARC is at a level which allows it to cleanly wrap manual management while not requiring the huge overhead of a normal GC.
>Insisting on --mm:none is what the brainless "GC bad" idiots do that have no clue why it's bad and how ARC is not equivalent. ARC, properly termed, is not really even a GC unless you consider mangement like RAII or Rust's to also be garbage collection. The "real" GC is ORC which just provides a runtime cycle collector over ARC to generalise the memory mangement.

You are correct. ARC is not really GC.

But however, ARC has its problems too with certain data structures so it's not a full substitute to a GC in certain cases.

And lastly, a picture of the mouse wristrest from a profile perspective to better explain the shape it has.
The backview is where you can see how your wrist is meant to rest in the middle, then it all tapers down a little towards the front, which is how you get that front profile.

oh it's just a basic ass tester, it doesn't do that
if i just keep a check on it that it doesn't get too hot, will that be alright or am I still risking boom boom times

>>106474322
Usually the components inside are low quality and the transformer is badly winded in cheap phone chargers. They also usually have cheap housings that can come apart and expose the 120v prongs (I've had this happen once on an aliexpress charger)
It will probably work without issues basically forever, but it might short to mains voltage someday and either trip the breaker or turn your phone into an IED.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6ywvcOv2Qo

>>106474322
The boom boom is a bit of a meme, chargers don't go boom boom really.
There's really 4 options:
You plug it in and there's some loud spark and the breaker flips immediately -> Probably a short that involved a capacitor somewhere that blew up. Unplug and throw away.
You plug it in and it gets hot very fast -> It's got a short somewhere and will release magic smoke almost immediately. Unplug and throw away.
Neither of these 2 are common, as even the most technically inept user could figure them out and leave bad reviews.
You plug it in and it works, but gets very hot over time at higher loads -> It's a bad circuit design. This is what you're actually looking for. Since heat dissipation is often proportional to power, you want some load that takes as much wattage as the device can offer (for example a laptop charger). If the heat is too high for comfort, throw it out.
You plug it in and it works and it either stays room temp or mildly warm at high load -> It's fine to use, enjoy.

The common failures are inefficiency, which has the risk of heating up, which can be a dangerous hazard, or improper grounding, which shouldn't be an issue with a plastic shell. If it doesn't get dangerously hot it's probably fine to use. Might not be GaN levels of efficient, but work just fine.

even the nes and snes has lots of games which miss frames. it's not about the hardware, but the software. emulators often have reduced lag frames, so i do question if anon even used any of these consoles

>>106473382
Dude, i own atari 2600, and it also run buttery smooth, and by the time, drop frame isn’t even existed. Every hardware build before windows 98 also run full frame, with zero drop frames and buttery smooth. It either run in slow motion or they run normal speed, but never drop a single frame.

>>106472820
Get a better PC.

>consoles
Haha, you're funny.

People mistake framedrops with slowdowns with frameskipping with stutters.
First console I noticed actual stutters on was the 360. Before that all I had was slowdowns. Today you have Zelda Echoes of Wisdom which, I don't know how there's people out there that can tolerate. We're talking about 30 to 60 back to 30 harsh framerate fluctuations. That's noticeable by just about fucking anyone. I have played a lot of SNES, genesis, PS1, N64 games with slowdowns. Not like this shit.

>>106474174
It is about frame teleporting, or which you see player teleporting left and right while skipping frame which is rather painful to look at, idk who come up with this concept, but i dont even see this appealing. Slow down is still fine to look at but it is also very poor visually. Frame teleporting is the new low!

You have to worry about that. If you use GPL code in your non-GPL FOSS project you still can have bunch of GPLfags complaining, demanding license changes etc. it's the same kind of cancer as mongodb license.
GPL is incompatible with most popular FOSS licenses and ironically limits what kind of freedoms you can grant the users of your code. It's better avoided in any FOSS project.
