☂️-

they are probably in the us

you can probably disable the updater through adb.

or any sector for that matter, really

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.

it’s used as a sort of runtime that executes programs made for gnome, on environments that are not gnome.

i’m full of kde stuff on my gnome desktop, no worries.

“slavery wasn’t that bad, actually”

commenting so i can see this later

i 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 TFM

i would agree with you on GUI apps, where it can be confusing.

you 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.

so far

probably over vanilla, but it’s important to note a couple of outliers really did see big performance gains.

iirc dirt i think?

how is resource consumption? how is the hardware you are running it on?

except they are literally eroding privacy as we speak in this slope we have been slipping down on for a decade or two at this point, as if this is happening in a vacuum.

we can be mad at multiple things at once, especially when they are all part of the same effort.

They know the user’s identity - they have the name and home address on the credit card used to pay.

not always, and not everyone spends money on phone microtransactions.

they are also free to not implement spyware on theirs.

does ncurses stuff count or is TUI cheating?

what follows from context is you giving them your ID and birth certificate so he knows you aren’t lying about your age.
