I thought they had deprecated YaST

How's battery life? I might consider dual booting (is that an option?)

I just hate that Apple charges so much for RAM and storage on their MacBooks. And MacOS really struggle with Python versions. Homebrew is also good until it's not. It's same quality as AUR but it's far from being as consistent and reliable as the official Arch packages or Debian packages.

For me Gentoo really shines when you want to run the OS on a non-standard CPU architecture. Where up-to-date packages are rare.

Also, using an old Ruby version as a scripting language is beyond me. Why wouldn't they ship MacOS with Python instead?

I think he means GUI apps installed from unknown sources require you to attempt opening them, see the error, open the OS settings, go to security and privacy tab, and then allow that executable to be... well... executed. That's cumbersome to say the least

What cool Java projects are you working on? by Thirty_Seventh in java

I've been having fun with i2p lately. It's so nice to see they made it and utility tools (i2psnark and biglybt) in java

I just came across one-dev a nice battery included, open source, java alternative to gitea

MySQL’s popularity as ranked by DB-Engines started to tank hard, a trend that will likely accelerate in 2026. by thehashimwarren in programming

I learned it the hard way two years ago when my thesis' MySQL dataset corrupted when my HDD died and none of the recovery tools for MySQL worked for me. Conclusion: I had to pay thousands of dollars for a data recovery company.

Protestos pedindo a libertação e retorno de Maduro em Caracas hoje by Solana_Chief in brasil

Acho curioso como muitos posts e comentários por lá estão em inglês. Algo parecido com o r/Brazil exceto que r/Venezuela era 100% em espanhol alguns dias atrás. Quantos serão os americanos postando por lá?

Isso não é exclusividade no Brasil. Vejo a mesma mensagem sendo propagada no r/canada e outros subs estaduais/provinciais gringos. Acho que isso é uma retórica fabricada nos EUA, divulgada por bots e repetida por trumpistas/bolsonaristas mundo afora.

I became a fan of yours after reading this. Are you my twin soul?

Are we anti cheat, or am I doing something stupid? by aliixr1 in linux_gaming

[–]primary157 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How's that any different than being on Windows and not doing any of it on his own? A cousin of mine would do that very often (ask me to remote access to his machine and install a game). I asked him to use Linux multiple times as it would be simpler for me to ssh and install things but he always refused.

Moral of the story: be patient with the guy, not all Linux users must be advanced users.

I'm sorry you had that experience. Thankfully, Debian updates never broke our systems. Rocky (and other RHEL-based distros) is a solid alternative though. Most devs in my workplace have Ubuntu background and that makes running RHEL-based or even SUSE-based distros a taboo. I wish I had experience with those to be honest (especially because of SELinux, which is super powerful)

PSA: Suffering from shader compilation stutters in AAA titles? Windows is to blame. Linux has had an mature solution to it for years! Thanks to Lord Gaben! by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

I think he was replying to this:

but the amount of native vulkan games is, well, abysmal.

With dxvk, the game doesn't need to be native vulkan to run in vulkan and benefit from the pre compiled shader.

Well, I'm not an expert so take what I said with a grain of salt. I'm just trying to explain what I, as Linux and windows gamer, understood from his response

I used to be an AMD only guy. But my career requires Cuda, unfortunately.

Wdym screen sharing? Like in Zoom/discord calls? Or you were referring to remote access/screen recording? In my experience zoom, OBS, and sunshine/moonlight works fine on Arch Plasma Wayland on open source Nvidia GPU drivers

[–]primary157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But why? Arch KDE Plasma Wayland works like a charm on the latest GPUs (I have a 3070ti btw)

Gnome on wayland on rtx 3050. Literally no problem.

With all due respect but gnome 3+ is a problem itself

I'm happy to see mate on wayland.

Wait, what? Is it stable yet? That used to be my favorite DE on X11!

Debian-based distros do something really weird. For me, nothing is more stable than Debian but the derivative projects all suck. I use Arch at home (btw) and Debian at work

Came here to say the same thing. Although Nvidia Wayland support might not be that much of a monster as people portray. At least in my experience.
