Well, in the case of the liberux and the 9 pro, you get a lot more storage space built in (very fast storage), way more RAM, etc.

Its up to you whether that’s all worth it. To me it is, I max out sub-$400 phones very quickly. The pinephone feels very choppy to use too by comparison.

Wow, that’s quite the difference. What’s more shocking to me though is the fact that the rockchip somehow is built to handle a higher resolution than the tensor despite being weaker (8k@60fps vs 4k@60fps), and has AV1 support where the tensor doesn’t.

Try premade meal replacements like huel lol.

That’s a good callout. I’m not super familiar with it, do you know how it might bench against the Tensor G4?

Liberux NEXX is supposed to be a thing but they sorely need backers. It costs about the same as an equivalent Android phone (pixel 9 pro 1tb costs $1,500, liberux nexx 1tb costs $1,300).

8 core/32gb RAM/1TB storage phone in a very sleek body, Linux phones could have their flagship soon (and unlike pinephone it sounds like Liberux is gonna do the actual work on developing the software).

That exists, its called GPT4chan, and it went exactly like you’d expect.

Its just whatever is built into copilot.

You can do a quick and dirty test by opening copilot chat and asking it something like “outline the vulnerabilities found in the following code, with the vulnerabilities listed underneath it. Outline any other issues you notice that are not listed here.” and then paste the code and the discovered vulns.

That seems to be the direction the industry is headed in. GHAzDO and competitors all seem to be converging on using AI as a force-multiplier on top of the existing solutions, and it works surprisingly well.

Having actually worked with AI in this context alongside github/azure devops advanced security, I can tell you that this is wrong. As much as we hate AI, and as much as people like to (validly) point out issues with hallucinations, overall it’s been very on-point.

Okay, okay, okay - Yuh

I have not started using the launch flags yet, I’ll have to give those a try. Wonder if it’s possible to set those nits values globally per display in a config file somewhere?

LACT is, unfortunately, built on the GTK framework instead of Qt or similar, so its a no go for me (too many input issues with modern GNOME apps on non-GNOME DEs and the general issues most people have with the GNOME team as a whole).

It happens on several monitors and my TV, and it happens with both my desktop and my steam deck, even with rhe HDR saturation set to “SDR.” It’s like the red channel gets crushed upwards.

Maybe its a configuration issue on my part? Or maybe its the panel brand? I do have a lot of LG screens, but then you’d think it wouldn’t be an issue elsewhere either…

Any ideas are welcome though, hoping to fix it so the family and I can start enjoying HDR more.

Why does it make oranges look aggressively red though?

Reminds me of a game called Dap. You basically talk to this guy and he does… helpful? Things

You mean to tell me that when someone says that they’re taking a shit, it shouldn’t mean literally turd burgaling?

Is this meant to be a backhanded complement?

I have been using Arch for a half a decade at this point and its worked out well for me. I like how its very stable despite being bleeding edge (relatively speaking). It’s made gaming a lot easier, and I was pleasantly surprised when Valve announced SteamOS was switching to it as a base.

A lot of people have varying levels of purism when it comes to linux, and it sounds like your friend dipped his toes in with Arch and realized “not pure enough” and then jumped in on the deep end with Gentoo. At the end of the day, Linux is Linux no matter which distro you pick, but each distro highlights different strengths and weaknesses of it. Its all about the package managers, the repository contents, and the maintainers. Occasionally, technical support might matter.

So, pick whichever distro you like, move around a bit to see what has the least papercuts for you, and then stick with that until you can’t anymore.

What does “They thought of doing it makes me crazy” mean? What is “it”? Who are “they”? Why did “they” think of me doing “it”?
