>>107733263forgot pic lol but the specs are more important anyways
>>107732952>>107732649iirc this is done on debian by default when using bash. I forgot what the fix is, but it's easy to find with a simple web search.
>>107733263>RTX 5060Install something with newer software like Cachy or Garuda or Kubuntu. Mint with 2024 packages might be too old for your gpu.
>>107733285>a simple web searchYes because I definitely didn't think to do that already.
>>107733263>>107733299Yeah its either old drivers or xserver fucking up.
>Use KDE gayland, everything is slow, low fps, input lag, weird frame pacing that doesnt feel smooth even with a smooth frametime graph in games>Use X11 with Xmonad Tiling window manager, It just werks, everything werks, no latency or input lag>High FPS, gaming just werks and I get 20fps+ more than gayland for some reason and its buttery smooth>Fast with zero bloat, Configure everything to my likingAt this point, I wont even use any desktop environment on linux if it isn't X11. Even XFCE is dead to me because it has wayland support. I will never support anything wayland based on linux.I'm X11 pilled.
>>107733161Arcan, mac, window and surface flinger have too. Phoenix says that their X11 implementation will have it.However, you said to me "xorg doesn't have" and "wayland have". I abandoned xorg to use swc velox. But I don't have HDR nor fractional scaling.For me, with wayland, less things are working and nothing new have been added. Even with wlroots (one of the major implementations), I still don't have hdr. So, why did you lie to me?
>>107708922You are just making shit up
>>107733209>So, why did you lie to me?Wayland made it possible to implement those features. Just because a DE/WM doesn't have it yet doesn't mean it isn't possible. This is evidenced by the fact that:There are no X11 DE/WMs with those features.There are at least 2 Wayland DE/WMs with those features.You lost, I won. Wayland won. You have no counter-argument, I accept your concession.I have evidence supporting my argument, you have nothing. You've been completely buck broken.
>>107733272One can edit xorg/xlibre metadata (ignoring abi compatibility) to have HDR (there's literally nothing making that impossible). Even then, using xorg or xlibre, I don't have them. So I can't say "Xorg/Xlibre supports HDR because it's theoretically possible". Still you are saying to me, WAYLAND supports HDR and Fractional Scaling because it's POSSIBLE. Which, for me as a user, is irrelevant. I don't care about the possibility, xorg could be secure if well configure, it's not, unless I do it by myself. So I'm using wayland (velox or hyprland), but I don't have the feature YOU said I would have. So, why did you lie to me?
>>107708922i'm not even a wayland hater but yeah it do be like that
How would technology be today if he had accepted?
>>107733160>Apple was the first to make a smartphone
>>107733055Most Americans would read this as a cautionary tale.
>>107733055He'd make a new kernel, better than Linux because he'd start from scratch with lessons learned from before. Whether that would matter for Macfags, probably not.The BSD derivative for macs is OK as is. The Windows NT kernel is also OK. Most of the problems of non-Linux OSs stem from bad 1st party user space software and shady corpo decisions. If Linus had accepted Jobs' offer, all that would happen is whoever was the 2nd developer in charge after Linus would take over the kernel, and things would be different, but not too different. Linus doesn't work on Git or Subsurface either, and both of those are good software. I'm sure Linus would have had made the right choice in picking his second in line if he had to step down.

>If you're interested in the specifics as to what Windows collects from your machine, you can actually download Diagnostic Data Viewer from Windows Store, which provides full insight into telemetry data, unencrypted.>Anyone who has actually looked into diagnostic data & telemetry will tell you that it's absolutely nothing to be worried about. The ones who say Windows is spying on everything you do spread unwarranted FUD that has been proven incorrect again and again.
>>107733057It's literally not on my install of Windows 11. I couldn't turn it on right now if I wanted to.
>>107722723>if you want proof that Microsoft isn't spying on you just download this program made by Microsoft that says Microsoft isn't spying on you
>>107722723Okay. Still won't ever put it on a personal machine though. Don't give a shit what I use when I'm at work though.

>>107724605As >>107726566 said (although I'm a junior myself, so I feel slighted)The issue is that it loses out on huge amounts of context, business logic and other information that it simply isn't available. Like syncfusion; it's great with jquery, but I ask it to fix syncfusion's broken grids it fails.

>>107731304this the dei furcucks only higher their own even though their are tons of white devs who have a+ ready to go.
Based china stealing whitecuck tech and making it cheap for us. Let's go!
>>107730335Fuck yes. Death to faggot American tech companies
>>107731963I will, if I can find a source.
this but unironically. white people have been slacking and want to fuck over themselves via indians, jews, and somalis (african jews).
>>107730335I've been waiting for years for this. China has to be well aware how much untapped profits there are if they can enter the hardware market, even if it's not GPUs if they could just make DRAM and NAND flash for RAM and SSDs they could eat up the market. The US dominated the semiconductor market until Japan leapfrogged them with much cheaper DRAM chips, then the Japanese lost to Korea and SAMSUNG.
>>107730335Competition is good. Go China!
It big?
2026: chinese are the good guys
>>107733129calm down yud ai is safer than its ever been
>>107732264You know this is fake because Chinese can't innovate, they can only copy.

>>107733190>why so many pedo names end with berg or steinStop noticing, goy!
Many political strategists believe the optimal window for China to annex Taiwan is around 2026-2027. Perhaps Sam Altman had prior knowledge which lead to his decision to order 40% of the global RAM supply (raw, uncut wafers that can be warehoused) in preparation of the enviable. As this order is being fulfilled tech companies will be forced to develop non-Taiwanese supply chains immediately. In the end result OpenAI would have the world's largest reserve of critical AI infrastructure components.
>>107732166If it looks dumb from the outside it’s because it’s collusion on the inside They sold us a bubble so they can rob us and then run to isreal Truth is they captured everything including the regulators for this
I think all the retarded shortages we had recently were because of this. The west is stockpiling as many chips as they can because their TMSC US plant failed miserably and they know they're at the mercy of China the second this kind of event happens.The troll part is that China doesn't operate on the same short term schedule the West does, so it's entirely possible an invasion doesn't happen for 2 more decades. They probably assumed China was sure to invade during the Ukraine war.
>>107726026>in preparation of the enviableMaybe he's just based?
>>107726011What the fuck are you talking about? DRAM chips are made in the US by Micron and in South Korea by SK Hynix and Samsung.The shortage is on the chips themselves, not the final assembly portion that's done in Taiwan. A war there would affect RAM since SK is nearby, but RAM would be one of the last affected PC components from a war there.
>>107732621The point I'm making is that the RAM crisis is a chip crisis, without the chips essential hardware can't be made.> (raw, uncut wafers that can be warehoused)
Purely from a business perspective, the way AI companies are moving to buy as much hardware as possible recently is really making me raise an eyebrow. We know that venture capital funding for these companies is basically gone, AI stocks flatlined over the past few months or, in the case of some like Meta and Oracle, went down quite a bit. All they can rely on right now is their circular investments and I think what they're trying to do is just turn that cash into real assets with the expectation that the models will just scale themselves, and investors will again be convinced to put money into the system again. This is of course augmented by the fact that companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Micron are the ones giving Open AI and Microsoft hundreds of billions to turn right back around and buy products from Nvidia, AMD, and Open AI.Throughout the cycle we just haven't been seeing the uncapped colossal buy orders we saw at the end of 2025. So what's the endpoint here? When the manufacturers are paying companies to buy their own products and investors aren't seeing the business turn profitable, what happens next? Where does the fire's fuel come from?
It seems like in the age of information, one of the better ways to remain unsearchable is to have someone else with your same name who is more famous than you are.
>>107730020write a name which quickly comes to your mind when you choose a famous name>Elon cuck
>>107730020This is true, no one can find me because they think im a boxer with 3 heavyweight wins. Good thing about it, no one is going to mess with me.

>Debian/Ubuntu: apt >Fedora/RHEL: dnf >Arch: pacman. >openSUSE: zypper>Snap >Flatpak>AppImage>Python >Nix/Guix ???>dpkg/rpm>compiling from sourceWhy can't linux come up with similar system as Apple Disk Image, something that just works without you learning entire new system on every distro? Is it bad to be user friendly and more centralized?
>>107729576>>107731387Literally nobody use anything that goes beyond than appimage or flatpak, unless it is an old app>>107731852>also implying you can't compile from sourceNormies will never do it, aka the target audience for Apple products
>>107731410and Macportsand macos .pkg installers which are functionally the same to .msi installers
use the gui package manager that came with your distro
>>107729576Flatpak is that, dumbfuck. Plus with app store guis you don't have to learn anything, they work the same. Tgis is a made-up problem.
>>107729675its distro agnostic, dumbo
