Yeah, a dream: dumb TV with awesome modern panel and range of connectivity ports like HDMI, DP, DP over USB-C, composite, scart

Unless it’s in “D” state, then Linux be like “fine, you can annihilate the mf, but there are unfinished IO operations on the now disconnected NFS storage, so… maybe let’s just wait?”

“My” PC

This! They say Steam isn’t technically any better, but it has so much secret sauce comparing to something like Galaxy, such as Linux port, proton, workshop, steam input among other things

First, proper NVIDIA drivers and improved hardware support in general

Oh, so my sceptical, uneducated guesses about AI are mostly spot on.

My usual approach when trying Debian on a desktop or workstation: if I have to install a single package from testing or sid, fuck this and just use Arch or Fedora.

HL3 announcement before GTA VI release?

It boils down to D3D12 being slower on NVIDIA on Linux and it’s a known issue. There is some work being done on this by NVIDIA and VKD3D-Proton, but I wouldn’t hold my breath knowing how long things take to improve on NVIDIA side. If you get good deal on RDNA2 or newer, it works incredibly well today.

Won’t work for me, just like anything immutable, because I rely on one DKMS driver for my motherboard PWM sensors. But the project itself is pretty cool

Don’t distrohop too much, at one point there won’t be much more to explore with other distros other than wallpapers and themes

No, not really. If it’s set up right, it pretty much just works. I use it on my work computer and never mess around with anything, just use it and sync packages every month or so.

Honestly a distro called Nobara was a huge let down for me compared to Arch. It was effortless to install and came out with cool tweaks, but in just 6 months of usage it randomly broke like 4 times, every time I was supposed to check their discord server to get info on what broke and how to fix it. From Plasma not loading and opening crash report window indefinitel, to bootloop with update screen, to experimental drivers being shipped causing hard GPU crashes. And this is recommended for newbies? I’d rather give preconfigured Arch (like CachyOS) to newbie than this.

Fedora’s almost rolling though

Yeah, I’m normally an Arch guy, but gave Fedora with KDE a shot when I bought Framework. It’s pretty sweet, does everything I want and never bothers me

Yes, but forget about VRR unless you want to flash a custom firmware and with that the adapter is finky as hell. I use one for 2 years now. It kinda works

Basically no modern TV has displayport except for few that come with USB-C

I wouldn’t be so sure they will double down on it forever. I remember too many stupid MS actions like early 2010’s convergence and metro UI because touchscreens and shit, where is it now?

I wish Microsoft keeps up with its AI obsession and push as much as possible. At some point they’ll realize the reputation damage, but the longer it will take the better. Just stop the negative publicity

It’s bad Windows gets so much bad press these days, the longer they stay in denial the better
