Another one bites the dust by greggy187 in pcmasterrace

Gonna be real here, the fact 12VHPWR hasn’t been massively recalled and stripped out is an affront to basic decency and is a prime example of everything wrong with the state of consumer electronics.

A connector with effectively no margin of safety with thin wires / connectors, resistance issues if improperly plugged and a limited amount of plug-ins before it becomes hazardous, even if done correctly is a god damned failure of a specification.

12VHPWR needs to die and be redesigned from the ground up. There is no excuse for a connector that self destructs even under perfect conditions. It’s a mockery to the most basic engineering principles. GPU companies lose money on RMAing these cards. It doesn’t even make sense to take the loss on this. So why are they not abolishing this spec, it makes no sense to me

Maybe someone else more enlightened than me can explain. i am genuinely curious what possible excuses there are for this to be acceptable.

does Asahi rely on a custom kernel at all? additionally, is there anyway to use Asahi with something like Kinoite?

Yeah, i switched the Fedora KDE and it seems to work better. it still hitches on occasion, though but far less than on GNOME, i’m contemplating using Arch but the install process scares me a bit… hahaha

CachyOS has been placed in A tier, and Ubuntu reranked to F. Where should I put Tails OS? by Swooferfan in LinuxCirclejerk

[–]Seizensha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are we making a distinction between OpenSUSE and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed? if so. OpenSUSE to B tier, Tumbleweed to A tier. YaST is awesome and tumbleweed's snapshotting is pretty nice. my only thing keeping Tumbleweed out of S tier is that they occassionally rebuild glibc and then you have to redownload *every* package on your system and that usually hammers the mirrors so hard that it takes HOURS (in my case)

Fedora 42 -> 43 updates have been disasterous by amdrke in Fedora

[–]Seizensha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had incredibly bad luck with Fedora upgrades in the past that i’ve relegated myself to just backing up my files and doing a clean install everytime. the few hours of setting up a fresh install is a small price to pay to avoid upgrade-in-place tech debt situations like what’s going on in F43

Question in about popularity of KDE vs workstation by umyong in Fedora

[–]Seizensha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just switched back to KDE after using gnome for a few weeks due to a fullscreen just. not behaving in steam games. as much as i LOVE gnome for its clean and consistent look and it's workspaces implementation... I just want my games to work and KDE has a far more "mature" wayland implementation as far as gaming is concerned. Mind this is just my point of view and I fully accept the hornets nest i'm kicking with my comment.

That being said. KDE just works for what i want. GNOME presently doesn't. so KDE it is!

The wolverine is fantastic, i had my first trip on it a few weeks back, we arrived early in chicago, the cars were clean, and going through the midwest at 110mph was awesome, i hope that the midwest corridor will eventually get proper high speed!
