GNOME is (Gradually!) Dropping X11
  • 545.29.02 makes Wayland far more usable with an Nvidia card. We finally have Nightlight support in Gnome.

  • Things like this turn people off from Linux
  • It's not complicated though. It's just different than windows. It's also not an issue with Linux. Thunar just doesn't behave the way you want it to. Files in GNOME works fine, but wildcards don't require a * to search.

  • [Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.
  • I've used Linux exclusively at home for the last 10 years. We deploy Windows where I work. This is not normal. Despite my disdain for Microsoft, the setup process on Windows is straight forward and easy. It's one of the things Microsoft gets right.

    This idea of OS superiority is pointless. Every major OS has things it does better than the others. We should look at those things to improve Linux in areas where it lags behind.

  • Reddit down?
  • Not sure what happened. Had to completely repatch and reinstall, but RIF working again now.

  • Reddit down?
  • They nuked patched 3rd party apps from the looks of it.

  • What microphone are you using for Linux?
  • Shure SM7B with a dbx 286s preamp going out to a Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface.

  • What if Reddit joined the Fediverse?
  • There are several instances out there based on the old source.

  • Proton 8.0-3 Released With More Windows Games Running On Linux, Fixes
  • Arch is similarly this easy. I think where I usually see the most people complaining is when a new shiny version of the driver has come out and they try to update manually, breaking system packages and borking their system.

    I'm not saying I have personally done this before. Nope. Not saying that at all...

  • Most uncomplicated Printer that just works™?
  • Brother printers and CUPs just work. It really doesn't get much easier.

  • wayland was a mistake
  • Seriously. Once Gnome Night Light works right in it, I'll switch. Until then, I'm in X at night. Redshift is not a suitable replacement.

  • Why is snaps hated
  • Snap is not fully open source. It's slower than flatpak, it's centralized to Canonical's servers.Flatpaks so not update by default where snaps do, so if a feature breaking update is released and you haven't disabled automatic updates, you're screwed with snap. Flatpak does not need admin privileges where snaps do.

  • Meet Microsoft Office’s new default font: Aptos
  • I'm more of a Product Sans guy myself, but whatever floats your boat.

  • Workspaces / Virtual Desktops – do you use them on your laptop, desktop, or both?
  • Not gonna lie. I have 5 monitors and forget the workspaces exist. It would make life so much easier if I started using the.

  • Best distro for gaming in 2023?
  • I'm running Arch with dual Nvidia cards. It's nice to have a distro that actually updates it's Nvidia driver on a regular basis without having to manually do it and breaking things. Any rolling release should work just fine.

  • Tumblr is losing $30M each year, CEO says
  • Wow. Did not expect Tumblr to be doing better than Twitter.

  • Meta joins the Fediverse
  • Of the headline or the image? Threads is federated, apparently. But I'm sure it will be severely crippled.
