here we go again with he tariffs. his friends made back some money after the last crash he caused so now he can go back to crashing it

Not a single gram of brain

I can’t believe there are still no affordable options to replace my 1080Ti. I remember not too long ago, the new generation -60 model was just about equivalent to the previous gen’s -80 model. Nowadays it’s the new model is between the previous -60 and -60Ti for 50$ more.

It’s purely anecdotal but every time I’ve used an Ubuntu based distro it has been unstable or it nuked itself after 6 months to a year of use. I’ve been on fedora for 2-3 (4?) years now and I’ve not had a single issue apart from the Nvidia drivers behaving wonky sometimes.

That’s actually a good change. “Parody” accounts have spread uncountable amounts of misinformation during the last election. I remember some time ago there was a Justin Trudeau “parody” account that was obviously controlled by a very right wing person because they kept posting fake shit under the name of Trudeau

Well you fa vastly underestimate the power of defaults and first impressions

Terrible news for touchpad users. The scrolling on Firefox is not perfect by default but it can be made 10/10 with 4 about:config fixes

Hahahahahaha my digital footprint is crazy

???

Maybe it was me idk

Nvidia users having to shutdown anyway because the computer will hang when trying to put it to sleep:

Looks really good. Let’s hope it’s more reliable than their disastrous id4

I mean… Yeah. I’d much rather Mozilla serve me ads that help them fund Firefox and be less reliant on Google while also being less evil than Google. If I have to choose I’ll take ads that don’t use as much data from me even if a little bit, as long as it’s not Google or meta levels

Never was able to try mint, I only did once but the installer didn’t work for some reason, probably Nvidia related so I don’t blame mint for it.

The level of disillusion in the thread is insane. At no point in time is it a good idea to recommend Arch and it’s derivatives to Linux newbies. They will 100% wreck their install in the first two weeks. Even I, as a pretty experienced user had to wipe my arch install after failed update attempts, luckily I had a separate home partition. Anything else like fedora or tumbleweed will provide packages that are very up to date, but that are also tested. For example I don’t fear that updating my fedora install will completely brick the networking of my system like what happened to me on arch.

Ironically I wouldn’t recommend any Ubuntu derivatives as for some reason, every single time I’ve installed Ubuntu or one of its variants like PopOS they ended up messed up in some way or another, albeit never as critical as Arch did to me numerous times. Probably some kind of PPA issues that make the system weird because it’s always the fault of PPAs

The dev taking the issue and closing it 30s later because the dev is competent enough to open the console and check the values and seeing "[Object object]"

Make backups of your important files, or use a separate home partition. When I used arch, more than once I had a bricked install after doing updates. The last straw for me was when after updating my network completely went out. I switched to fedora and haven’t had issues for 2+ years. Also, (this goes for every distro, but more so arch than others) NEVER update if you don’t have at least some time in front of you in case something happens. Arch was definitely a good learning experience and it was fun at first tweaking everything, but the drawbacks in stability got a bit old after a while. The AUR is a godsend and it’s the best thing ever, you should also be using an AUR helper like Yay to make your life easier.

Bro what I don’t even make that as a programmer

The big search engine crawlers like googles or Microsoft’s should respect your robots.txt file. This trick affects those who don’t honor the file and just scrape your website even if you told it not to
