Yea I’m definitely getting warned for going offtopic here. Though I suspect I’m always the only one, even when the other person starts it. That’s another issue of Lemmy and Mastodon.

Close.

Well fyi I am proud of my opinions so why wouldn’t I?

Well Facebook is the only platform to allow my political opinions so I do have a sweet spot in my heart for it. But the decision is weird indeed.

I saw some cheap laptops with Ubuntu in a local mall and on them the latency on Wayland was unbearable.

Well a lot of stuff for Linux is reverse engineered and some is just copied (WindowsFX, ElementaryOS etc). Kali Linux is also a thing.

Hmm that’s weird. I mean, we have a lot of copyright infringement and piracy here in the Linux world but I’m not sure if that’s the right way of handling it. I guess Facebook hasn’t grown up enough in terms or free speech yet.

Now please let’s not start stupid drama here.

I heard there were some issues with NT so I assumed it’d die well before Linux (if Linux doesn’t kill itself in the next 2-3 years of course).

It can happen if Microsoft decides not to spend money on making a new kernel because they will need one eventually. But a compatibility layer? Why would they not make it exclusive to Windows?

Drama incoming.

Why isnt the /home separate from /root by default?

Because then you either waste free space for root or completely fill it up and can’t install any native packages easily.

Another wave of bug reports and rants about Linux incoming.

How many FPS can I expect on a 3090 in 1080p?

Wait we’re doing PS4 emulation now?

Unlike Wayland, Pipewire just works as long as you have all needed packages installed. I’m not familiar with any compatibility issues at all. I highly recommend switching.

Well then I can only say I disagree. Tethering isn’t as common as SDR but it’s still a pretty sizeable thing imo.

I think you missed the word “regularly” in your sentence. USB tethering is not required very often.

Because it’s Lemmy.

I would love to see a new Linux user who just installed Linux on a pretty old machine because of no official Windows 11 support or performance issues compiling their own kernel. And they’re not guaranteed to have a new phone either.

It’s like saying that we should remove SDR monitor support because HDR somewhat works on Linux and it’s better so everyone should move to it.

Same goes to X11. It’s still available on sane and serious distros because it’s needed for some people.
