I just switched from Arch to Endeavour to Fedora! My 2 cents:

• Arch is like a barebones Lego box without instructions, only a set of pictures. Sure, you get a paper telling you how to ensamble a basic OS, but what to do of it is up to you. For example, you might want a firewall there, right? or maybe a systemd timer to trim your ssd? IDK, you can guess it on your own. The pieces are there, it’s up to you to decide what to use.
• Endeavour is like that same Lego box where someone handled you the manual from another themed box. If you installed Arch on your own, and felt like you might’ve missed something, or something feels off, EndeavourOS just gives you the ensambled set for you to play with. The problem? No problem, really. It feels like a greatly configured Arch installation.
• Fedora feels like a themed box. You don’t have whole lot of bricks like that other unthemed box (AUR), but damn, everything just works and it works great. Only caveat is that non free stuff (drivers, codecs, etc) require that you input some commands (but really, every linux distro requires this still). So far, my experience is between “wow, I didn’t know you could do/have this! Must’ve missed it in the arch wiki” and “damn, there’s no easy way to install X in Fedora? I miss the AUR :(”

Try scaling, and then logging out and back in.

Honest question: is there a centralized alternative? Like “here, install this or use this SaaS, it enables your community to chat, discuss in forums, and allows you to manage a FAQ/KB from the content from the chat and forums”

EDIT: don’t get why the downvotes. It’s a question, not a statement.

Oh, you don’t know what SaaS stands by?

Good! Now that you know, can you answer my question and tell me an alternative?

Oh boy are you wrong. Check out the patents to polio vaccines, or Volvos three point seatbelt.

Perroboc, 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

Exactly! They tried to patent it, but it didn’t meet the requirements (ipeg.com/jonas-salk-inventor-of-the-polio-vaccine…).

Notice how they tried to patent it “to prevent companies from making unlicensed, low-quality versions of the vaccine. There is no sign that the foundation intended to profit from a patent on the polio vaccine.”

EDIT: and on the other hand, you get things like insulin, where the patent was sold for $1 (www.vox.com/2019/4/…/why-is-insulin-so-expensive)

I have a big gaming desktop and at first it felt kinda slow, but then I found out it was happening because of the previous plasma 5 config messing with things, and the variable refresh rate affecting the mouse cursor movement.

Haptics feel like enough, because proper rumble motors take a lot of space, spend more battery, and actually shake the whole device which is not desirable in a handheld device

Is there any single plasma command to reset plasma settings to default? I had issues with powerdevil and plasmashell, and both were resolved by deleting ~/.config/*rc and ~/.config/kdeglobals

I agree with this opinion: prices should not have changed, but a proof of national identification and restricting it to one account might have been sufficient to avoid VPN access.

The problem I see is that some people were taking advantage of the low prices with a VPN and an Argentinian/Turkish account, and assigning their parent account as a family member to share games. I think limiting their regions would’ve been more effective than just hiking up the prices.

And how did you install brave?

What .deb file? Their page says to add a repo and use apt:

<span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install curl
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt update
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install brave-browser
</span>

My brother in Christ, installing a .deb is downloading the .deb directly, as you would when downloading discord from discord.com, and you use dpkg to install it (apt uses dpkg to install the deb file).

You saying “the deb file” is not the same as “using the official repo”, as dependencies might not have been installed by only using the .deb file.

Make sense?

“Now we support Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation! Those platforms, combined with our current offer in Windows, macOS, Android and iOS / iPadOS, cover the whole spectrum of platforms available!”

But what about Lin- “THE WHOLE SPECTRUM”

Steamdb says it has a Linux native client. If you don’t select a compatibility tool, the game should ran in its native version.
