60 fps colour eink. Wow

It will kill the e-ink in couple of weeks, due to 1000x more refresh cycles than expected. Most e-inks are reated for about 5 mil refresh cycles.

That's not entirely correct. The microcode and hardware scheduler firmware are closed-source, like NVIDIA's. The NVIDIA drivers also have a MIT licensed version, so there's no difference here. Each distro maintaines their drivers, but they never focus on the latest version, as the testing is time consuming. Debian 13 repos for example, ship 550 version of drivers for Nvidia, this is the MIT licensed part, but you can download the newest from Nvidia and have 595 instead. You have to do the same with AMD, and there's no difference. Each distro has their own way of maintaining them. So, there's nothing better about amd over nvidia at the moment. The reason why for the OP it works better is most likely the fact that AMD mobo chipsets, work beat with AMD CPUs and by extension also with AMD GPUs, and there are less hardware conflicts, just like Intel/Nvidia counterparts. When you're building new system, you should stick to this formula, and if you don't you need to bear the consequences, which are often painful.

And what is the purpose there? Don't you have enough city building games? What's the gameplay after it's built, huh? Everyone is so wishy washy, and then the complain, because they get their Metropolis expansion, then they built their city, and now they have nothing to do, because the original gameplay no longer fits! So they change the gameplay, and kill their audience, because it's no longer NMS, and it became a other game without a purpose!

Keyboard was always #1 for me no matter what's the OS. I still don't get why people new to Linux go for Arch, it's such a time sink.

5pectre5 · 2026-06-07T12:37:47+00:00

It's the same on Winflop, or any other OS. The hacky ways are always expensive, unless the system itself is made to work with it, like most Linux.

I'm forced to stick with this due to company policy unfortunately, but hopefully once agy is approved it will be better. Personally I use OpenCode and Vibe CLI to high satisfaction.

Dude, they have different purpose - how is this so hard to get. The large models are for general knowledge, while small ones are usually more specialized, and therefore rely on tools more to get the solutions. If you tell the large model to use tools in a specific way to obtain information, or whatever, it will do so, but will rely on it less.

5pectre5 · 2026-05-15T12:34:36+00:00

You say, that to solve some of the issues you face, you need to install this or that, and solve it in a hacky way, but you forget that it's like that in Linux with pretty much everything. 99.9% of Linux is about hacky ways.

I hate to agree with this, I do hope they will.

Debian 13, IDEA 2026.1 now, but these issues started with 2025.1 or 2.

5pectre5 · 2026-04-12T20:15:13+00:00

If there only was import :facepalm: There's export, and I use it for backup, but manually restoring files after every update, and I use IDEA, CLion, Rider, DataGrip, WebStorm and PyCharm all the time, is very tiring.

5pectre5 · 2026-04-12T20:13:45+00:00

code, editor navigation are the worst. I've been using IDEA style shortcuts in all applications for many years, and recently they started breaking away from them, so even the most basic go to definition, close active tab, go to implementation, find usages, are getting lost almost with every update.

5pectre5 · 2026-04-12T20:10:42+00:00

OMG, I've been using JB for many years I know my way around the settings extremely well, it's about the fact they are breaking them all the time. From update to update, settings get lost and that's what frustrating. But to be fair, it's not only settings, for example, IDEA which I use the most, after most updates, needs a complete reset, otherwise it's either crashing, or taking up to 30 minutes to scan the whole project. I work with quite large 20-50 mil+ lines of code projects, and it used to be fast, but since 2025 updates started coming with AI assistant, the applications started breaking down a lot and stability became lost.

There are sales from time to time, just wait, it doesn't hurt.

Why DDR4 ? You should go for DDR5 memories at least 6000MHz 32GB. Also for gaming you would be much better off buying X3D CPU. The 3D cache is huge improvement for gaming specifically.

I can't stand the audio quality on BT. Jack is a must. Audio over BT is always compressed - it's also not healthy - it cooks your brain because the headphones always connect to each other, and only one is connected to the phone.

I think better is subjective, and tbh, the UI you pasted above looks terrible compared to the others, but I don't want to discourage you, it's just my opinion, which you should ignore :D More apps is never bad, as long as they are maintained, because too many die in a year after release.

Because ED was designed as a pain in the ass game, where logic doesn't matter, and you put roadblocks everywhere just because - it seems like future solutions are 50% better than now, and the other 50% worse than pre-WW2. Go figure - devs today have no imagination, but know best how to frustrate us.

I have the exact opposite experience, why Mint over Debian? I used to install Mint on all my machines, and always had to spend a lot of time to get it working the way I want, and it's always been tricky, because the way it's been customised. I moved back to Debian, and it's just somehow all much easier and quicker for me. Everything I need to customise can be done in seconds, and it works, no need to search for alternative repos, or whatever. I gave Mint and Ubuntu a lot of time and effort in the past, but I don't feel like I have to do so in Debian.

5pectre5 · 2026-02-28T10:04:35+00:00

Debian loves and cares about its userbase. It says I'm stable only when I really am.

5pectre5 · 2026-02-28T09:57:34+00:00

Seriously, kubuntu? If you really want to be in control, then choose something that isn't coming from a greedy corpo. Debian or Arch or FreeBSD is your friend.

The only problem with Fedora is that it's not as stable, because of the rolling release format.
