Why don't we allow cheaper tech from some China might help with ram and GPU shortages

There's no laws preventing the importing of Chinese GPUs nor "ram"
In fact most components already come from China as most are made in their sweatshops.

At the end of the day Chinese "superior" tech is a myth and no one wants to beta test GPUs that can't even run properly and have practically no driver support.

Anybody here try/use Bedrock linux?
I've been on Manjaro for a while, but I'm getting the itch to switch distros.
Debian's not at the top of my list, but I'd consider it.
I refuse to ever use Ubuntu again. (There was some unpleasantness back around '08 and I refuse to ever give them another second of my time.) Nothing really against Mint. I've used it before, though, and it keeps me in the Debian branch, which I'm not very used to.
CachyOS is, I guess, catching on for some reason. It's another Arch derivative. Can't be worse than Manjaro. And I'm somewhat used to the Arch ecosystem.
But this Bedrock thing seems like a bit of a winner. Doesn't pin you down into any one branch. Plus, as I understand it, I can just install it over top of my existing install, instead of starting over from square one.
Anyhoo, just wanted to know if anyone here has experience with it and would/wouldn't recommend giving it a try.
>inb4 gentoo
No.
>inb4 just use Arch
Then I might as well stay where I'm at, which I don't want to do.

Tell me why the use of Linux namespaces in container runtimes is worse than this dogshit that Bedrock does. If you can't, your argument is null and you should just use Debian with podman.

HP, Intel and Microsoft collaborated on switching banks over to Windows NT on Itanium. HP would kill off their bigger iron stuff like HPPA and DEC Alpha they got with Compaq.
Banks asked them if they had a death wish. The three had to port OpenVMS to Itanium.

Is there any software or tool that can help dealing with it?

I'm a college student, I have 2 exams in a week but I'm so addicted to 4chan that I can't study. I basically spend the entire day making bait threads to get (You)'s

>>
>>107740144
You need to figure out why you want to browse 4chan in the first place. Is it intense boredom? Insecurity about your performance in college? You need to be aware of your triggers. This way, when you notice a trigger, you can be mindful. Tell yourself "I want to browse 4chan and create bait threads for attention". And just do nothing and sit with the feeling. Perhaps find another thing to do instead. Pick up a book, stare out the window, doomscroll instagram (like normal person) or something else (and preferably non-screen).

For productivity, really commit and do things like >>107740213 said.

Good luck. I know the feeling and it's an ongoing struggle for me. But every week I get a little closer to doing the things I actually want to do.

You aren't addicted to the internet, you're addicted to not studying for your exam. This has interesting implications, one of which is that if the internet somehow disappeared, it wouldn't help you at all, as you would switch to something else and avoid studying all the same. But I would say the important implication is that when you understand this addiction, you can treat it. Stop trying to "get off the internet" and instead start "trying to study for your exam". The former doesn't work because you get bored, and when you're bored you go on the internet. The latter is very easy when you think it through. Just open your books and start reading/doing problems/etc.When you find yourself with your phone in hand later, don't blame yourself for being addicted to it. Just set down your phone, ideally somewhere out of reach, then pick up the book again.

Changing the monitor refresh rate when watching videos is not a good option for me

>>107744226
Maybe not for 24fps content, but for 23.976fps content you definitely do, because it is not a divisor of 240. The micro adjustments of video-sync=audio are visible

>>107744792
"video-sync=display-vdrop" has the same effect on performance as any other "display-*" option, unfortunately

I can think on something like this for "video-sync=desync":
1. Periodically check the audio-video offset (avsync).
2. If the offset exceeds a small threshold, add it to the current "audio-delay".
3. Repeat this adjustment at regular intervals (e.g., every 0.5 seconds).
4. Reset the audio-delay to zero whenever a seek or any other event that cancels the AV sync drift occurs.

That would cause audio stutters. You should be able to set the sampling rate of the audio, or resample it wth relatively few resources, to make it match the video. Dunno if there's an option for that.

>>107744839
that's the point of a sym link is to basically have the OS "pretend" a folder is located where it normally is but is actually located somewhere else on the system but for whatever reason it's broken on windows

not to mention per window's own registry keys %appdata% is just whatever is specified in the key

I have the opposite problem, everyone keeps saying new drivers aren't working on 11 enterprise anymore. Makes me anxious as I debate myself while waiting on a new GPU to finish build on whether to go Win 11 Pro and do massive debloat or go Enterprise and risk getting fucked by drivers refusing to install except on consumer versions for some shit reason.

Then again all I've seen for first hand experience here is someone trying to install Dell (monitor?) drivers lol, which wouldn't be shocked is due to subvendor (Dell) incompetence. Plus can't do you just force them through another driver injector or the like?

PREDICTION

This year we will see prebuilt manufacturers start selling prebuilt machines with Linux pre installed even to normies.

There is no point to keep shelling out money to Microsoft for licensing, so this will be an aspect of shrinkflation.

Asus tried that in 2007 with the eee pcs. We had WalMart selling "Lindows" PCs back in 2003. We have multiple Linux companies like System76, Slimbook, Pine64 and Librem.
>>
>>107742245
I think 2026 is a way better time to try to sell Linux laptops than 2003 or 2007.
First, Linux is easier than ever for beginners and people who know only Windows, especially Mint. Hardware support is a lot better too. WINE got better too.
And there is the price of the hardware needed to run the thing. Windows 11 is an incredibly heavy fatass, it runs like shit on <$1000 laptops, while Linux runs fine on $400 weak laptops. This will get worse with the ram and ssd prices going crazy.

I'd like that but I doubt it. Unless it's a small shop operation that is.
Normies don't buy Linux because it's new and they don't want to learn it. Anybody who Isn't afraid of learning something new will generally build their own rig anyways.

Also nobody is buying a computer in 2026, not at these prices.

Smartphones in a sense are dumb and nonsensical, and if you handed a fully functional one to someone in the 1970s, they would know what to do with it.
VR is the same way. It just needs a well designed device, sold at a decent price, with proper marketing behind it, and a decent software library. Meta failed at the last one there, and Valve will probably fail at the third because they don't do marketing. The day will come when every household has a "VR terminal", it will just take time.
