Yeah, I know the definition. I knew someone would quote it verbatim, someone always does. I quoted it because it’s not the word I would use. I like scheduled or versioned releases better but someone always disagrees with me. As far as I’ve seen it’s a major/minor version release cycle anyway.

That’s how I feel about arch, it’s not “stable” but the few issues I’ve had they typically have it fixed with an update within hours.

I do have to clarify when I switched to arch from windows my entire computer was brand new and practically no other distro booted or if it installed it dumped me to a black screen.

After running my server on archlinux with the stable kernel for 7 years I did install Debian on my new server. Zfs just required an older lts kernel than I could get on arch without a ton of hassle. I didn’t need it on my Mac mini with an external hard drive plugged in. From my experience it’s not very different to maintain compared to arch but it’s nice having built in automation instead of writing my own.

Man it’s weird using a system of what I can guess is a bunch of bash scripts on Debian to set things up compared to just using the tools built into and written for systemd.

Man Nvidia users are going to be stoked when the get explicit sync in they’re desktop environments in two years. 😂 They’re have been so many small improvements in the Nvidia drivers up until that point I hope they actually update Nvidia drivers on Debian. I understand some of those improvements are not going to work because of the kernel version and the desktop versions.

Why don’t you open an feature request on their git if you have an issue with volunteer work.

It’s funny thinking this guy uses a distro package manager potentially with unofficial patches applied to the package.

I can’t wait for it to come to arch!

Sometimes longer if there are bugs but yeah.

It’s ok, it’s called being a masochist. No one is judging you for using css.😆

Managers are always tied to their corporate overlords. Developers can choose to freelance and potentially make more while not having to stick around and maintain an aging codebase if they’re skilled enough.

Fair worning, I’m learning to program and I have zero experience in the industry. This is at most observations from what I’ve heard from others in the industry.

My new steam deck will compliment my Linux desktop nicely!

Weren’t are nukes controlled by IBM series/1 systems and floppy discs until 2019. They said they upgraded to a highly secure solid state system. They might be still using those computers for some parts of the system because “You can’t hack something that doesn’t have an IP address. It’s a very unique system — it is old and it is very good.”

It’s fun playing with local AI stuff. I’ve been playing with piper-tts and it’s fast on a modern system.

It’s not gonna fix my 5900x taking off like a jet engine when I launch 100 JavaScript heavy web apps.

And I use arch because it was the first one that worked well on my hardware. Being into software development it’s probably not surprising to say I’m attracted to shiny new technologies.

I love the fact your using Linux for your digital art. It validates the notion I’ve had about potentially using Linux for learning how to create illustrations and potentially small animations. I’ve used tools like gimp for Photoshop like stuff and davinchi resolve (a tool I’ve used) works on Linux. I might pick up a cheap little waycom eventually and see what happens.

It would be fun to have a stream where software I wrote allows people to shout over each other (running completely locally) while I fail at drawing or making more janky code to do useful/silly stuff.

At least he tried it. Maybe he’ll pick up a second drive and dualboot. Regardless I have mad respect for someone who doesn’t just assume things but puts the effort into finding out for themselves.

I remember when I was testing the water. I accidentally nuked my drive and something about that felt so final. At least after I found the USB drive I kept my backed up files, that was a real nightmare. I thought I lost my receipts for tax sure but all those photos and videos.

Unless you use an Nvidia graphics card. Every little update seems to improve stability and support. I’m on hyprland because plasma 5 had pretty annoying bug they neglected to fix on Nvidia but plasma 6 is starting to look stable so I might switch to it or wait for cosmic. I’m not sure if I could live without tiling and the way virtual desktops work on it now.

I find myself hitting hotkeys that simple aren’t possible on kde. I simply couldn’t use an lts distro with the ever growing gap between the improvements then and where we are at now.

Also x11 sucks and has made my experience miserable Everytime I’ve tried to use it. Anything from horrible screen tearing(from scaling) on Intel integrated to consistent lag and stutter on Nvidia, I’m glad it’s dying.

You never have to update if you never connect to the internet.

Yeah, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. These individuals annoying people over stuff like this is like trying to criticize a smoker until they quit.

They know open source or free software is supposed to be better for you but there are legitimate reasons to keep using the propertary software.

Also I have no issue with proprietary software so long as they provide a quality service and respect my privacy/rights as a customer. Given an opportunity to pay for good software I always try to, even if the only option is to donate.

Also if you have a fairly big community having a professional team to handle any issues you have in a timely and professional manner is pretty important. I can’t tell you how many times I tried to report a bug that makes the software unusable and the maintainer says “huh, what are you talking about.” and ghosts me.

Been learning to program and I’m refusing to use an lsp for the time being. I’m bad about using abbreviated names when I have to type over and over again(no auto complete). I’m at least using descriptive names for functions I use less than four times.

If true == true pass!
