XFCE + Compiz
The unholy combination of accelerated 3D graphics and performance, all without the stupid drawbacks of wayland.
Runs much lighter than KDE even with all the 3D cube and windows stuff enabled.
Extremely customizable as well. XFCE already does a great job of UI/UX, it just lacks a compositor to add flare (xfwm4 has no animations, only some blur effects).
I don’t mind when people eat fast food, but I do get annoyed when people brag about eating fast food.
Especially now that prices have inflated so it’s no longer corporate factory machine cheap.
There are so many random food places even in the most rundown parts of a city that have both much better quality and bang for buck.
I’d even argue you’re not getting an authentic philly cheese if you get it from a place that’s not in the ghetto or has been advertised online in any capacity. And the funny thing is the real one is usually cheaper too.
They already lived through 4 years of Trump and have decided it is worth doing it again instead of letting the party most currently responsible for said genocide to win.
Point being that Harris has outright refused to meet any sort of demands on Israel. There was no reduction in arms nor any restrictions placed on Israel, and Harris fully intends to continue that policy.
If she loses, it means that she failed to meet her constituents demands, which means they’d have to actually meet them in the next election to win.
Also because I have a hard time seeing how anyone who lost entire family trees would listen to “uM AkShuLly TrUmP woUld bE 9999x WorSe, wE jUst NeEd tO ProTest aFTER tHe ELeCTion” as if we didn’t just full send billions of dollars in munitions and weapons to Israel.
Breaking the rules to demonstrate how this looks dumb
Don’t top post.
The one time this “worked” was when it broke because the drive had read errors lmao
I don’t know why the guy just assumed every linux and BSD machine runs cups-browsed by default?
It took me literally 5 seconds to check that it’s disabled on Fedora by default.
Then he wrote a whole paragraph about how no one should use CUPS for printing because based off of his own analysis, it’s some insanely crappy and insecure system.
Which is actually stupid because the only alternative is windows??? Which is universally known for printer driver and spooler vulnerabilities.
Then he got mad the the maintainer for patching before his disclosure…
People fear the same thing about Valve.
One wrong person and we could all end up in the same money milk machine as EA.
I know people complain about Linus hurling insults at merge requests, but his rigidness is what keeps the kernel viable. If it weren’t for him, google would have already shit all over it with a mega fork and essentially cornered the market like they did with Android and HTTP3.
Both are technically “open source”, yet Google essentially dictates what they want or need for their economic purpose, like ignoring JPEGXL, forcing AVIF, making browsers bloaty, using manifestv3, etc. Android is even worse and may as well be considered separate from Linux because it’s just google’s walled garden running on the linux kernel.
He is open to new technology, but he understands the fundamental effects of design choices and will fight people over it to prevent the project from fracturing due to feature breaking changes, especially involving userspace.
iirc due to some anti trust lawsuits, they cannot do that anymore.
But it’s still easy to coerce OEMs to run Windows because they offer stuff like quick support and standardized IT support.
If an OEM ships Linux, they don’t want to have to make an entire department to help troubleshoot the OS for users who will inevitably call for help. Ignoring them would only result in returns and loss of sales.
I think some thinkpads actually do ship with some distro like redhat or opensuse as an option, but that’s because thinkpads are very popular in the business space which means lots of CS people use them, so it helps save some cost from a windows license that won’t get used.
Like I said though, if windows really dives into the deep end, I think a potential market would open and some OEM will take a chance on it.
Not to be that guy but why not use Curve25519?
I still remember all the conspiracies surrounding NIST and now 25519 is the default standard.
In 2013, interest began to increase considerably when it was discovered that the NSA had potentially implemented a backdoor into the P-256 curve based Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm.[11] While not directly related,[12] suspicious aspects of the NIST’s P curve constants[13] led to concerns[14] that the NSA had chosen values that gave them an advantage in breaking the encryption.[15][16]
There’s plenty of videos on YouTube of people trying Linux for the first time, and it can be painful to watch how poorly they try to fix something or unintentionally break their system.
That’s not to say windows is any better, because they’d do the same thing there.
But people will only switch permanently if windows really falls off hard, which may or may not happen.
You have to think of it like how people first learned to use a mouse and double click back in the 90s. It’s not immediately intuitive for everyone, they often have to start over.
That being said, having a big OEM ship linux would do wonders, but Microsoft fights hard to make sure that almost never happens.
Yeah that means the driver is loaded fine, but it looks like it is selecting the iGPU by default. You have several options to fix this.
You can disable integrated graphics in the bios if there is an option for it. This is the easiest, but if you’re on a laptop, leaving it enabled might save some battery in which case goto 2.
You can tell either each program or the OS to prefer the Nvidia GPU. The way you do this also depends on how the gpu is set up (most laptops have it as secondary)
You can test this by running __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxgears in one terminal, and nividia-smi in a second terminal to verify a program (in this case glxgears) is running on the nvidia gpu.
I’ll try to find a good guide, but depending on the setup, it could be a simple MUX switch you can flip to change between iGPU and Nvidia GPU, or with the use of some preference selector tool (I think it was called prime?).
It’s confusing because lots of laptops essentially use the Nvidia GPU as offload which makes it a bit tricky to coaxe it into using the correct one.
What is the output of “modinfo nvidia”?
From your output it looks like the driver is loaded, it might just be the game selecting the wrong GPU by default.
You can often get a Pre Purchase Inspection (PPI) for about $200 from a mechanic that will tell you everything in depth about the health of a car before you actually buy it.
Way too many people out here purchasing cars and then bringing it to a mechanic only to realize they’ve been ripped off or bought an expensive repair bill.
You should do it with any used car you have a strong intention to buy whether it is a private sale or from a lot.
Usually lots will want to negotiate the price first because any used car will have some wear and tear.
But the point is that you’ll know for sure it there’s any critical issues with the vehicle. If it’s a lemon, you can say no and walk away. Don’t think of it as losing $200, think of it as saving several thousand on a broken car.
Hot sauces should be required by law to list their Scoville range (SHU) on their packaging.
Get Biden to actually stop funding a genocide
Random pedestals with swords driven into them lol
I’m actually gonna give the benefit of the doubt and assume this is actually a grown idiot lol
I’m gonna be honest I’ve never had a flatpak version of something ever work properly.
There was even one popular media player that only came in flatpak form or otherwise build from source.
So obviously, for no reason at all, it barely functioned compared to other applications I had already tried.
Congrats to you people put there somehow running things like Steam with no problems lmao.
Just use OpenSUSE
