545.29.02 makes Wayland far more usable with an Nvidia card. We finally have Nightlight support in Gnome.

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.

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.

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…

Brother printers and CUPs just work. It really doesn’t get much easier.

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.

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.

Not gonna lie. I have 5 monitors and forget the workspaces exist. It would make life so much easier if I started using the.

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.

Wow. Did not expect Tumblr to be doing better than Twitter.

Absolutely remember and used Corel. We old people are fading fast. haha

I couldn’t run Linux on my PC due too lack of hardware support at the time, but FreeBSD had support, so I ran that for a couple of years until Linux caught up.

At that time, there wasn’t much choice when it came to distros. These days, it’s a little bit of everything. Arch on my daily driver, RHEL on my ERP and DB servers, Ubuntu server on my Dev server, and I’m planning on deploying NixOS across the 700 PCs at our different locations.

Moved to Porkbun yesterday. No fuss, quick setup and pricing is good.

True story. I started two gaming related subreddits 12 years ago. Combined, the have about 170,000 subscribers. They are still thriving communities and I have 0 say in either of those subreddits. I picked a mod for each subreddit and let them run with it. One of those subreddits went dark, the other did not. Again, I didn’t interfere.

People sometimes need something in their lives to give it meaning, and as weird as it is, modding these communities provides that.
