I hate the shitty threads you people make. I want to share what has opened my eyes, for other novices like me, who are trying to leave Winslop 11.This thread is supposed to put you on the right track to making your own decision, after reading this thread the fog of Linux won't be there anymore, you will know what you want and you will find the distro that is suitable for you.> 1. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svgThis old image includes 95% of all Linux distros in existence, study this.Studying this image alone, is going to help you see through idiotic arguments like "mint is better" or "go with arch" or "go with pop_os" -- most of them have a parent OS.> 2. Distro arguments are pointless. #1 choice that you must make is what family Linux do you want and pick.If you studied image above, you will see there distinct few families of Linux, the relevant ones are: Debian, Fedora, Arch.

>>108506169OpenSUSE is very good. You can work around the Nvidia issues if you learn some basics, mainly just learning how to pair kernel version with driver version.That said on bare metal, you may want to choose something reliable that has an Nvidia ootb option. Even Arch has that now if you use Archinstall.
>>108504060Most laptops are using proprietary ACPI protocols. You would need to patch the kernel, but since Debian's kernel is very old in comparison to other distributions, this option is out off the table, since I don't want to patch and compile kernel from scratch myself
>>108503889>>108504060>>108506306Getting a modern kernel is as easy as swapping for Liquorix (or Xen depending on the distro, but I've found Liquorix more reliable).And updated firmware is as easy as`cd /tmpgit clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.gitcd linux-firmware/sudo cp -va * /lib/firmware/`and then`sudo update-initramfs -u`I also use CoreCtrl to manage my 9070XT, so with it I've also replaced my Mesa drivers with an almost up to date version with Ernstp's Mesa Almost-Stable repo;https://answers.launchpad.net/~ernstp/+archive/ubuntu/mesarcComment too long.

Simplicity is the mother of all great inventions.
>>108507368He is Indian and thinks complex = good.Hence why he likes Rust
>>108507368Because then losers can’t flex that they know something complicated on /g/.
>>108507401Indeed. The only flex with Go that you can do is actually shipping a finished product, which is of course antithetical to these people who like to post "clever" snippets of projects they never finish
>>108507368>it's pretty much as fast as C.it will never be as fast because you can't control your allocations/deallocations, you know the thing that makes things slow in the first place
>>108507458GC doesn't make your program "slow", but it can freeze for a short time if you do a lot of allocations/deallocations.A lot of the times a proper GC language will be faster than poorly written C++/Rust (especially Rust) code, because GC languages can automanage cache locality to some extent, while most C++/Rust programmers mess this up, leading to up to 10x slowdowns

Freedom to fork things that work instead of improving them.Freedom to rewrite things that work instead of improving them.Freedom to have things not working because the developers have to account for a billion different configurations.Freedom to incorrectly configure your machine and cause obscure cryptic issues that seem unrelated and impossible for other people to replicate without taking the same steps.Freedom to have inferior software because the developers can't assert the user environment.Basically, freedom to fuck it up in every step of the way.MacOS "just works" because they control the hardware and the software.Windows "just works" because the user has no control over the entire OS stack.Linux "works in your machine" because you happened to have a similar environment as a specific developer.After using Linux for so long I treat so many things as minor inconveniences (like different display/audio protocols supporting different features, how enabling the compositor fucks specific games, and so on) that would never happen on any other OS.I just don't feel like Linux will ever go anywhere as long as things keep fracturing whenever they reach past a certain size. Having a BDFL in your project seems to work well but I don't know if that's a good solution, it won't stop people from forking your shit instead of contributing to a single effort.Comment too long.

There's enough stuff on the used market that I'd just go buy a nikon or a canon from the 80s or 90s.

>>108505080My computer locks automatically after 10s without any activity, so yes.
>>108505080Yes, even at home if I leave the house or go to sleep with my computer on, likely will never be useful but I like peace of mind; I don't want potential burglars to access my important data. I use disk encryption so they can't just boot into a different OS either.Also if I die I don't especially want my family to check my weird porn and other extremely personal files.

Essentially cutting you off 100% from the FOSS community. A lot of people don't know this but Antifa networks monitor everything that goes on in all FOSS communities. So if you fuck around with racism and anti LGBT post you are going to find yourself mass banned from every community outlet just like Lunduke.>>108505998yeah I spent hours thinking about how my late 2024-early 2025 post about using my GIMP plugins to say hate slurs and intimidation had serious consequences, and how anyone with common sense would want my ass thrown out.

>>108505664I think he means that headphones with different isolation need different tuning. Resolve called it some mystical bullshit, don't worry about it.
>>108506423No I don't think that's what he meant at all.Do you guys realize what he's actually doing? They measured their HRTF then measured headphones with in ear mics to get HPTF. Peaks he is tuning out are HIS HPTF. Why would "different isolation" have any bearing on his individual treble peaks? He literally says "what headphone's acoustics expect" as if it means anything lolAfter destroying muh techs he still needs some as resolved put it mythical bullshit to cope with what he's hearing. Why not attribute techs to the same mythical bullshit then? How is he so sure that it's inherent properties of a headphone and not just errors of their measurements? Maybe mics show louder resonance than he actually hears or whatever... Or maybe it's some kind of perceptual bias and he just likes more treble than measurements and their targets suggest

>>108507217having the large L3 on both ccds raises the minimum performance floor from a highly clocked 32MB-only ccd to a 96MB ccd so windows no longer have to only run all game threads only on ccd0 to get the advertised performance and can run all game threads on ccd1 without causing massive performance loss unlike on the 9950x3d. of cause cross-ccx threads will cause performance loss but as we've seen in the past with zen2-zen4, it doesn't really happen often and the cost is stuttery 1% lows, not the fuck you -20% performance drops we see on chimera dual ccd x3d chips

but for real, monitor manufacturers need to calm their shit down and reduce the price compared to tvs by 1/4th like the value they are supposed to deliverit's actually retarded and im getting sick of itonly the insane flash deals where the price is 1/3rd reflect the real price of what they should be normally
