What language is this comment written in?
I love ShellCheck! It’s one of the biggest FOSS projects written in Haskell.
Not “no” impact (the laws of thermodynamics are still a thing), but it’s pretty negligible.
Where I live, most electricity is hydroelectric, nuclear, or wind. So it’s really NBD to download a few extra MBs of data, especially since flatpaks aren’t something you need to download over and over again.
It sounds like the issue is that the Rust compiler uses 100% of your CPU capacity. Is there any command line option for it that throttles the amount of cpu it will use? This doesn’t sound like an issue that you should be tackling at the OS level. Maybe you could wrap the compiler in a docker container and use resource constraints?
Flatpak’s benefits mostly exist for the developer. Apt is more tightly integrated with the distro, which is generally advantageous, but also means more work for packaging. Flatpak’s benefit is that it’s a compatibility layer for lots of different distros. In a perfect world, every distro would have a large library of packages in the official repo, but that’s a lot of work for devs, and flatpak lets them avoid that sprawling support.
Same. No idea what it means, but I like when Linus throws stuff.
Yeah I wouldn’t hate snaps if it wasn’t for canonical saying they wouldn’t force them on people, then making apt
install snaps instead of .debs without the user asking for it.
I always respect people who are willing to do a ton of technical work and troubleshooting just for the chance to be horny.

It sounds like at least part of your bad experience with the install was your motherboard’s fault.
For the issue with video in games, sometimes the codecs are missing from WINE/Proton. If possible, try using GloriousEggroll’s Proton fork
A distribution is basically just what packages come pre-installed. This can have a big impact of course since it can change what package manager is used, the C libraries, and a lot of default system configuration. But the underlying Linux kernel and GNU userland are going to be basically the same across all GNU/Linux distros
KDE. Looks great OOTB. Looks better if you spend an hour or two setting it up on day 1.
No idea, but I bet you could get some ideas by figuring out how sudo
and time
do it.
Is the desktop using a wifi card? You could plug it into the router to shorten the journey and halve the number of wireless hops.
What distro are you on? I was able to run it with proton on Steam without much hassle.
The correct way of saying it out loud is “pop exclamation point underscore O S”
I don’t follow this stuff at all, so I have no idea what the advantages are of Wayland that I’d actually see and benefit from in my daily use. That being said, I saw everyone saying it’s better, so I tried switching to it. After rebooting, my PC just showed a black screen. I needed to use a TTY to revert back to xorg. So no, as of right now I’m not using Wayland.
The threat of losing future donations if you upset a sponsor is still coercive.
