Do you want Nazis? Because that type of sarcasm is a major contributor to getting Nazis

A lot of those old Dell Optiplexes are going to get dogshit performance without a GPU upgrade

and its because true stupidity has become so extreme that its impossible to tell from sarcasm in the tone free medium of text.

Eh. There’s some sarcasm where it’s so subtle that it better fits into an example pf Schroedinger’s Asshole

Yeah, now that you mention it I remember finding snap on Discovery. It’s kinda nice when there’s no flatpak available tbh

Programmers already spend about as-much of their time, if not more, reading other’s code as they do writing their own.

And how is this an argument in favor of AI code? If 5-10 percent of you job used to be writing code and now you dropped it by half, that’s not very effective of optimization. Especially if the code you now have to review takes more time to review due to it being generated by AI.

and its clear you have negligible programming experience, or creative experience for that matter, to be coming after the concept of sharing code like-so.

As someone with several years of experience as a programmer: fuck off with this elitist nonsense

Bazzite supports Nvidia graphics cards, which is a major difference if it affects your hardware.

It also uses the same kernal optimizations for gaming that Glorious Eggroll maintains for CachyOS, which I doubt SteamOS utilizes. It’s not a huge increase to performance and they slow down write speeds to disk as a tradeoff, but it’ll often get you a couple extra frames in games.

Bazzite also uses Bazaar instead of Discovery as its application manager. They’re both based on FlatHub, but you might have slight variations in available software.

I get the popup whenever I “start” Skyrim, which I have routing to Mod Organizer 2. Not having to wait 5 minutes would be great

As an American, I’ll admit this one is a good dig

Linux’s “security through obscurity”

I lost braincells reading this. The entire point of open source software is to have it visible and auditable, aka the exact opposite of security through obscurity.

If you want to bash OS’s for relying on STO, go after iOS and Windows. Those OS’s, being closed source, are the ones relying on it

Keep in mind that the rate of errors caught by AI will not be consistent. It will drop off over time.

While I’m no fan of AI, that has nothing to do with it. Adding AI to error detection suites is (mostly) fine so long as you don’t remove more tradional methods like code review, manually set up unit tests, and properly reviewing each failed test instead of just letting the AI slop in a patch.

My point is that any test you add to an existing codebase is going to catch a decent number of issues at first, then over time it will drop off as pre-existing issues get resolved. Then you’ll be left with the lower rate of new issues from updates.

AI isn’t a silver bullet. It (sometimes) is another tool in the toolbox.

Here’s my main questions:

• What brand of graphics card do you have?
• Do you primarily want to play games?
• Do you want to tinker?
• Do you prefer the look/feel of Windows or MacOS?

While most distros support Nvidia cards, manually updating the drivers via CLI is a pain, especially the first time when things randomly break and it takes you 4 hours going through Ubuntu forums to find the answer because you don’t know what to ask. For new Linux users, always direct them to a distro with Nvidia drivers baked in.

If they want to primarily game, I’d recommend pointing them to a distro with gaming optimizations and pre-installed gaming packages. This narrows it down to CachyOS, SteamOS, Bazzite, or Nobara. If they mainly want a PC to do work, I’d recommend Mint or Fedora.

If they don’t want to tinker, I’d recommend Mint, Bazzite, or SteamOS, depending on what their previous choices are. If they are fine with tinkering, or at least have the option open for a particular edge case they have, then I’d recommend the other Distros.

Look and feel would determine which desktop environment to go with. Many of the above distros have multiple options, and thankfully CachyOS supports all common DE’s.

While not every combination of choices is supported, you can get close enough to prioritize one factor over another to get a happy compromise.

PS, I personally wouldn’t recommend Nobara, but I’d still include it in a list with a precaution. It works, it’s my current distro. There’s a couple minor annoyances than can be mostly avoided, such as the default “Nobara” theme having global menus enabled by default. If someone was really interested in Nobara I’d try to nudge them towards CachyOS with KDE, but it’s best not to push people too hard if their heart is set

Yeah, that tracks

God forbid a fascist authoritarian government known for cyberwarfare be banned from working on the Linux kernel.

But why Ubuntu? Fedora would have made far more sense.

It’s a reference to an old Zero Punctuation video. Plus, the community here put it to a vote about a year ago and decided to keep it

Works well enough for Mod Organizer 2 in my experience

Heads up, pretty much all AMD gpu’s are more of a side grade for an RTX 2080. That being said, I made a similar jump from a RTX 3070ti to an RX 9070XT, so you won’t get any judgement from me

Bold coming from the guy who’s ego is so fragile that he spends all his time harassing people over Linux. You’re a pathetic, hypocritical waste of cum
