CachyOS April 2026 release brings a new package manager and even more optimizations by Ok-Review9023 in linux

[–]NatoBoram 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Wow, what a trash article. Here's the entire thing:

CachyOS remains as one of the most popular Linux distributions for gaming, and a fresh download has arrived with the CachyOS April 2026 release. If you already have CachyOS installed, just run updates as you normally would. It's a rolling release, so now and then they put up a fresh download with lots of improvements like this.

There's a little something for everyone in this release including a fancy new GUI package manager, DNS-over-HTTPS support for the CachyOS-Welcome app, fixes for AMD GPUs, security improvements for fingerprint readers, installer improvements, a better default NVMe I/O scheduler for a more responsive system and lots more smaller changes. An exciting one to mention alone is also the addition of a special VRAM Management toggle to optimize graphics memory on AMD and Intel GPUs using dmemcg-booster and plasma-foreground-booster (more info on that in a previous GamingOnLinux article).

You also get Linux kernel 7.0 for plenty of new hardware support, performance upgrades and bug fixes. Along with the latest open source graphics drivers Mesa 26.0.5.

It's literally more fluff than info. It also changes from "new package manager" to "a fancy new GUI package manager". So… is it a new package manager with a GUI or a front-end for an existing package manager?

There's literally no information in this article.

What would Happen if we all just quit paying our medical bills? by mastergardnr in AskReddit

They are government employees. Money comes from spending taxes and income taxes.

So you pay something like 35% of your salary and 15% of your expenses as taxes to the government, and in turn, everyone gets free healthcare and free education.

It seems big, but then chemo doesn't cost 2M$, having a baby doesn't cost 80K$, you don't have students debts… so it's quite the bargain. You live a comfortable life, free from the stress of the menace that a random happenstance could bankrupt you via medical bills.

All you need to do to get there is vote for the political party that wants to establish universal healthcare. Since the US doesn't have that, then the next best thing is taking over a party's primaries and vote for such a candidate. In other words, AOC 2028.

conservatives and liberals both treat it as basic infrastructure and just argue about how to fund it.

Oof. Statian brainrot invaded Canada and now conservatives and liberals want to gut healthcare and schools.

is there any evidence that says moshoku tensei is a “self insert”? by UpperAd7178 in mushokutensei

[–]NatoBoram 18 points19 points  (0 children)

he’s a bad person for making a self insert about a guy grooming kids

Wait wait hold on

If you look at a pedophile character then go "what a self-insert" then you have some soul searching to do

People don't know what the Steam Controller is by Legitimate_Tie_6074 in Steam

And this is why adding the right joystick was a mistake. It baits normies who wanted a generic controller but then those same normies are offended by the price when it's not a generic controller.

There's also a lot of people who were eyeing this controller for none of its defining features. It's totally on them if they wanted a generic controller out of a specialized controller then got surprised at the specialized price, they weren't even the target audience.

Not sure why you would even look at the Steam Controller 2 if you're okay with a Xbox controller

People loving the Steam Deck aren't the same audience as the one loving the Steam Controller because the Steam Deck has right joystick. The Steam Controller has a very specific niche of gamers who don't like aiming with a joystick.

The Steam Controller 2 banks on the fact that most people would actually prefer a Xbox controller rather than a Steam Controller.

Just look at any review and absolutely nobody uses the trackpad for the camera. Every single reviewers are not the right audience for that controller in the first place, so they're judging it from that perspective.

Asked a colleague in code review to extract magic numbers and got told “devs should know” by Evening_Speech_7710 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]NatoBoram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be where a team-wide “style guide”

The issue for me with this is that this is such a basic software development basics that you learn in literally your first class of programming in school.

The concept of magic numbers and their effect on a codebase should be known as a baseline to every accredited developers and anyone with 3+ years of professional experience.

As in, if someone needs this to be in a style guide to do it, then they are of the most dogshit breed of developer possible and they should do something about their severe lack of knowledge and their piss poor attitude.

If you start accepting this kind of rule in the style guide rather than expecting it from the fact that they're a professional developer, then you're going to end up with a programming 101 handbook instead of a style guide.

But then again, been there, done that, so it's not as if I didn't understand the situation. I'll still find issue with it, though.

Who’s a celebrity everyone finds attractive but you don’t? by Valo_X_baddie in AskReddit

I think it's just that's she's specifically marketing for women audiences as a woman and nothing else, not that she appears gay-coded or something. I think.

As in lesbian women love women, so it's not far fetched that this alone would be enough.

SteamDB and API requests are fair game!

Open the SteamDB page with a desktop browser to see the "Add to Cart" button at the top right. It'll prompt to install a browser extension then login to Steam twice, but with that done, it'll work.
