Sorry I've missed the 'firefox' part xD.
If that happens next time take a look at htop or some system monitor app and check what uses cpu the most.
Form me honestly it sounds like gnome trackerminer or what was it called. It basically indexes your files so you can search for them fast but it has bad reputation for sudden 100% cpu spikes that seem random. But dont do anything with it until You discover the exact issue.
Maybe You have steam in the background? It sometimes likes to process vulkan shaders in the background, which also might cause rapid cpu spikes
Mind telling how does Krita works for You under xwayland? I am using Krita in flatpak under wayland gnome and Im getting a lot of flickering and gui turning black xD
And firefox has 3%. Its more unpopular to use firefox rather than linux lol
Its not sure how it exactly works, but most probably this captcha processes a lot of data like your mouse movement, mouse click but also your browser fingerprints, search history and ip. You can actually get 'traffic lights' test from this clicking button captacha if You have privacy protection in place, such as using brave, tor, firefox or mullvad browser and/or vpn, pluse some privacy browser extensions
From every linux related ltt video or wan show I've seen. My personal favourite is probably a video about AtlasOS, where he presents modified windows os with many security vulnerabilities and makes some comment like "who needs linux when you have this!" (not actual citation, dont remeber exact wording, feel free to check it out)
Linus is just a windows fanboy, just like i am a linux fanboy
The reason is most likely TF2 not playing nicely with wayland. I have nvidia and I needed to add this command "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%" To be able to run it. If You can check if game runs on x11
I did just that. As far as I remember at the start I had the urge to use Windows since I got addicted to its interface and functioning after those 15+ years, but building my habit into booting linux (I recommend to set linux to boot by default) made my Windows dependence absolute.
Gaming on linux with Steam is smooth (You need to enable to use proton on all non native games and You are good to go). You can check ProtonDB to see how Your games perform. The only problem is that many online titles with anticheat do not work (mostly due to developers refusing to enable an option to allow proton to run them)
I do not do AI, but at least I know that there's a simple gnome program 'Imaginer' which lets You use stable diffusion and openai so definitely check if that would satisfy Your needs.
You can go Mint, a lot of people recommend it. Trust me as a Fedora fanboy.
If You have an nvidia card (which by steam's statistics I have ~80% chance to say that You have) You should install proprietary drivers after the OS installation process (Unless Mint offers to do it when installing os, but i do not know that).
If You have more questions please do ask them, I will be more than happy to help!
They have 30 days to comply so it wouldnt necessarily burn their servers but its still a nice middle finger before saying goodbye. Also I am truly curious what data about me they have managed to produce
I am deleting my messages and posts right after I receive my requested data and information from reddit. Even If i have to do it manually. You can do the same by following these instructions
If You do not feel comfortable to leave Windows for gaming then of course keep it and dual boot PC with Your distro. Also, You can go to protondb to check how Your games run on linux
Im sorry I missunderstood. I hope that good administration will prevent that. Do reddit has some other tools at it disposal to prevent that?
How will the fediverse protect its self from these hypothetical bot armies?
It's up to administrators and moderators of each server me thinks
Do you think Reddit/big companies will make attacks on the fediverse?
Right now It would bring more harm to them and extra accounts to us me thinks, but maybe in the future they create some boycott and controversy. ATM however Meta aka Facebook wants to join Mastodon
Do you think clickbait posts will start popping up in pursuit of ad revenue?
Is it even possible to make ads in lemmy?
So right now if You join the Lemmy.world or other instance You are automatically a member of the community with the same name as Your respective instance.
You cannot unsubscribe that community and You also see posts, such as mine, that people create in order to reach out to the whole community of the instance.
This was probably a great feature at the start; allowing all the members to be a part of at least one active and growing community, giving a convenient place to post and read about the instance and lemmy as a whole..but..
I am worried that as the Instance will grow into hundreds of thousand of members issues will arise such as:
- Subscribed feed will be overwhelmed by the Lemmy.world
- Malicious actors will have easy place to create a lot of spam
- Our beloved admins will have a lot of unnecessary burden resulting from moderating this big and steadily growing community alone
I am still fresh when it comes to lemmy so I might be exaggerating and making unnecessary reasons to panic. The only mechanism that I can think of is closing signups so new people will spread to different servers.
Would You all enlighten me if the issues I've raised are even valid? (on a side note I would like to say hi to all members, It has been a great experience to be here so far)
