i find that bazzite can be a great beginner distro, as it has some sane quality of life defaults baked in over fedora, but fedora is not bad if you can get used to default dockless gnome for example.

you are arguing from a place of stubbornness. cachy arch and nix are not supposed to be newbie friendly distros. linux doesn’t break easily at all, but only if you accept you need the right tool for that job.
it’s like that youtuber that keeps insisting on using pop os with a beta desktop when he knows its not windows and breaks, and then complains it’s not windows and breaks.
i work with linux and i’ve been updating hundreds of debian, ubuntu and assorted turnkey distros over decades without issue, and you could too.
cachyos is not a system for newbies, or absolute stability. nix isn’t it either.
try fedora, debian,
ubuntu, mint or something newbie friendly if you want a newbie friendly experience.

Memes@lemmy.ml•Protests so docile they won't go by "No Kings" in countries that retain their pedophile monarchies, despite pretending to think they're bad. What is the point?
7·3 days agoi will always say this, but these protests are the perfect time to organize your leftist friends to dress in red hammer and sickles and go talk to the libs.
often on linux, you can simply type
man <command>and get TFMi would agree with you on GUI apps, where it can be confusing.

1·4 days agoyou can think of any kind of realism in a game like this. we may see lighter llms or faster computers that could run them better.
realistic physics don’t add a lot to most (not all) games and it was computationally expensive for the time, very fun though. great eye candy graphics will often add to the feel and immersion of a game, but realistic graphics is chasing dragons computationally. still cool.
i can see chatbots adding an interesting layer of realism to games, provided it’s done correctly. say, in gta type games, or in the sims type games.

19·5 days agocompared to using no sync at all*
ntsync is still a good performance booster, but we had esync and fsync before it that were almost as fast.
the headline is a little misleading because it exaggerates it, still good news though.
wow, it’s rare to see 4channers with iq above room temp out there. congrats, anon.
