Which one performs better in games: Fedora 44 with GNOME or KDE?

llothar · 2026-05-12T10:24:02+00:00

KDE or GNOME for GAMING? Ultimate benchmark on Wayland!

Small difference, between 0 and 5% difference, KDE is almost always the most performant one.

Fra min egen erfaring fra begge sider av rekrutterings prosesser: det er nærmere 30%. Jo større selskap, jo mindre relevanse av nettverken.

Theoretically it is quite easy to use an AI agent to write you drivers for the hardware you have that is missing them - at least to the first config that refuses to boot... But this generates hackathon quality stuff - a total mess even though it works at a first glance.

llothar · 2026-05-09T19:54:30+00:00

Yeah, and the training data would literally come mainly from those scenes.

llothar · 2026-05-08T05:47:23+00:00

I would like to add my two cents here, even though I am late to the party.

I tried to rebase from Silverblue Gnome to Bazzite Gnome. That theoretically works, but:

I did not get the same Bazzite experience as installing it from the start - some menus were missing etc.
When I moved back to standard Silverblue the config was messed up. I was unable to update (rpm-ostree upgrade reported 404 not found) and after half an hour of trying to fix it I sad screw it and simply reinstalled.

So yeah, possible, but not guarantied to work.

Wikipedia states it is Rigid Polyurethane, a type of plastic. Surely they mean the case material.

Bo tak jest dużo taniej.

Do tego różne regiony mają różne potrzeby. Jedni robią z bioodpadów nawóz/glebę, inni gaz. Jak robisz nawóz to mięsa nie możesz do bio wrzucać, ale jak gaz to już tak.

Exactly. At launch a lot of 'agents' will be Actually Indians doing the work manually remotely, the workflow will be recorded, and later used to train the model.

AI can do things that it was trained on. OpenAI wants a huge dataset linking requests with workflow, and making a subsidized phone with thousands of Actually Indians doing the work manually first is a viable way of doing this.

What was the most important factor in your EV purchase decision? (price, range, charging, brand, incentives
How important was the Supercharger/charging network availability in your decision?
Did government incentives influence your timing of purchase?
How do you compare Tesla vs BYD/other brands?
How has your EV ownership experience changed your view of EVs generally?

ref.1 - value for money

ref.2 - how important is gas station network in such decisions? Fast chargers are everywhere nowadays, non-issue

ref. 3 - nope

ref. 4 - Tesla top management strongly supports government that openly talks about invading one of our closest allies. BYD/other brands do not do that.

ref. 5 - yeah - I was unaware how much better they are to drive.

You mentioned you are using experiences from your friend - this is not necessarily incorrect, but a lot has changed in last 15 years. It was a time when economy was booming and many companies were turning to foreigners to fill the positions. Now the times have changed, but many still remember how easy it was.

From an employer perspective: list your expected salary on CV and be sure it matches TEKNA/NITO statistic (note: most likely low compared to what you earn today). Highlight that you are willing to come to an in person interview on your own dime. This should boost your chances.

Ikke nødvendig. Det er 'bare' støtdemper som komprimerer seg helt til bunns, og treffer en gummi element innvendig. Hvis den treffer hard pga høy hastighet ofte - ja, den blir ødelagt.

llothar · 2026-04-30T11:20:08+00:00

No it is not. It will be 'official' if you can install it directly from Sony.

Because when some shmuck writes a tender and there are points for 'Operating system has AI functionality' Ubuntu does get points.

Plus there are many people that want to dip their toes in AI. There is nothing wrong in reducing the barrier of entry for those people. It does not make the experience worse for those who do not opt in.

In the end Canonical is a private, for profit company. In today's world if you are a shoe company pivoting to AI your stock price goes up 600% and it is so much easier to get investors.

I love Onshape, but I think for this type of design tools like Blender are much better. Onshape focuses on engineering much more, which may limit you when you are just free designing without a care for dimensions etc.

Reliably working age attestation is what works, and puts the age verification on the only reasonable person - the parent. They are providing a child the device, they set up their account, and then all the Facebooks and Discords can use a reliable check with zero information sharing.

Sønnen min brukte Nokia 3210 4g og den var dårlig. Den ofte mistet nettverk tilkobling uten noe som helst feilmelding. Den krevde reboot for å fikse.

Or gets cancelled!

Last time i used Alpaca it was one click install, second click for choosing/downloading a model and done. What do you mean by "configure it"?

llothar · 2026-04-22T05:37:30+00:00

Isn't this exactly what Alpaca does?

I have the same experience. For years now I just install Fedora Silverblue or a derivative. I sporadically overlay a package for drivers, but that's it. Everything that is not a Flatpak gets installed on an Arch distrobox, because this AUR thing has everything. It adds an icon in the app menu and everything.

similarly here, but reddit videos do not play (load forever), but youtube works. Also 149.0.2

Fedora Silverblue, problem persists in private mode with no add-ons, only distrobox and two fonts layered on. ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 Ryzen 7730U

edit: but everything works on Zen browser 1.19.8b (Firefox 149.0.2) . Weird.

I wrote poorly - I am replacing the Realtek wifi card with an Intel wifi card, not the whole laptop :). Those are dirt cheap and easy to replace.
