Distro subreddits are borderline unusable.>finally escaped windows!!>look at my desktop!! bye windows!!>day 1 on distro!! no more windows!!The same garbage on every fucking Distro subreddit when I'm just trying to look for technical discussion.
>>108038058>when I'm just trying to look for technical discussion.this "general Linux" subreddit is much better, yes. definitely no non-technical shitposting here.
>>108038058it's better than treating it like a tech support service for problems already solved elsewhere imo
>>108038058Why do people even do the second one anyways?Are they really that desperate for validation?
>install debian>nvme boot drive cooking under gpu; no fan control for 9070 xt>locate LACT>update kernel since stock 6.12 isn’t supported>sense mouse lag under any graphically intensive task starting with firefox>write .sh and .service trying to force power_dpm to performance; doesn’t read>set clocks to high on LACT; resolved>test AI Limit on steam>ok so far except for dips with high particle effectsthat’s about my journey so far with this thing and right now i can’t tell whether i’m still missing a few extra steps like more updates or my nvme’s just thermal throttling since i don’t encounter these drops on windows. u think it’d be better trying something more current like fedora or see if some extra ventilation like bottom fans would be worth exploring
>>108038136I'd argue that the second one is the most valid.
>Debian's logo is red>Debian's default wallpapers have always been blueWhat did they mean by this?
>>108038031>image based distrofaggot alert
>fedora kdeshould I install bottles from fedora linux default repo or from flathub? why?
>>108037958how do i share the internet over a single nic?in ubuntu lts 22.04 if i enable the wi-fi hotspot as a bug or a feature it also enables the internet sharing through the ethernet port, but ubuntu freezes on my laptop every 2-3 hours for some reason. I nuked it and decided to install fedora. it doesn't freeze, but the wi-fi hotspot trick doesn't work on fedora.
>>108038220The whole point of Bottles is that it's meant to be sandboxed in a stable Wine ABI. There's really no benefit to Fedora Bottles over Fedora Wine.
>>108038220Flathub, the maintainers themselves recommend against the any reposhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpuwIo2y4a4
>>108038188it's an elite combination of colours
>>108038000>Xfce Wayland is still experimentalDead DE.
>>108035788>What's your technical case for zfs?I wasn't really making a case for ZFS. My point was that there is nothing that makes Btrfs better than ZFS specifically on a single drive.>I know it's got really bad fragmentation problemsYou're probably talking of edge cases like torrenting directly onto a spinning disk pool without setting appropriate block size on the dataset. Honestly, there's not too many caveats like that and unless you're the kind of guy who wants to kill himself everytime the package manager takes 10 extra seconds to do its thing, then I think it's likely you won't even notice anything.>it's out of tree. Don't say muh enterprise. Muh enterprise is running RHEL kernels.What are you even trying to say? RHEL kernels support neither ZFS nor Btrfs. Doesn't mean you can't use them. In fact, RHEL is one of the more reliable distros to use with ZFS, since due to its semi-stable kABI and due to OpenZFS themselves building precompiled modules for it. Alma also recently started supporting Btrfs.
>>108035806>There's way too many newfags looking to "switch to linux" today, and all of them asking the same questions. What happened? Did some jewtuber make another video on linux? Can't newfags read the thread?I think that's exactly what happens. Toober shits out a video, kiddies come running scared with a sudden overwhelming need for "privacy" and "security" and "productivity", asking what distro/browser(extensions)/VPN they need to install so they can satisfy that sudden urge and feel good and safe again. Luckily, they're fairly easy to spot and ignore.>>108038058Similarly to above, some kid installs distro, makes a post saying "Whoa! I actually like it!!" and gets infinitely jerked off by the community, which in turn causes more posts of this nature to come into existence. You just gotta dig deeper to avoid this shit.
>>108038512Ok, so you acknowledge it's marginally inferior and more of a pain in the ass to use. That's all I'm saying.
>have 3 apps installed in bottles>update bottles thru flatpak update>all apps vanishnigga u srs?
>>108038058And I bet each one of them use Arch. Typical Arch shitters ruining every community they go
Ga(y)ming question related:I'm trying to launch the CODEX crack of Code Vein in Lutris, but there's no way to make it work. On GE-Proton it launches, but sits still at 0% CPU, and on Wine-ge-8-26 it just crashes. I've read online that "for some reason" CODEX cracks don't always work on linux, but I nobody says why. I've tried to override denuvo and steam_api dll, force windowed mode, 60 fps cap... Does anyone know what's going on?
>>108038564It obviously depends on what you care about and how much it matters to you.If you really hate it being out of tree and can't stand the idea of losing any raw performance, then sure - ZFS is not for you.To someone else, it might be the one true endgame filesystem despite its caveats.
>>108038000When you realise that Cinnamon is just a really bad fork of GNOME then it all starts to make sense. They don't have the man power to build their own Wayland composite and barely have any idea what they're doing. Since their fork is always based on some random ancient version of Mutter it is always going to be experimental.Mutter recently stabilised VRR support. Does it work in Cinnamon's Wayland session? Well, probably not unless they've rebased it again anytime soon. Ditto for HDR, etc. Mint is always going to be playing catch-up with GNOME. They don't know how to do actual compositor development themselves.
>>108038698>DittoYou massive fag.
>>108038713What is wrong with using that word?
>>108038675You haven't given one reason to use zfs other than feelios.
>>108038728I already made it clear that shilling ZFS was not my intention, so I'm not sure why you feel the need to point that out.
>>108038145Did you setup via tasksel when you first installed? I've never had issues like this on Debian
>>108038727Using it as a drop-in for "same" is extremely gay.
>>108038107Guys finally ditched windows years ago can I add this one to my constructed personalityyyyyheh debian gang rise up 8) bros :)
