Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

You’re not wrong, it’s definitely not something a n00b should attempt in most cases. But I’ve done this before to save myself the need for distrobox. A lot of proprietary software only offers .deb, but is usually either statically linked or comes with its own set of nearly all the libraries it needs. So just extracting and running it often does the trick on non-debian distros like Fedora in my case.

Seriously though, just use distrobox or see if there’s an unofficial package for your distro that you trust (AUR/copr/ppa/OBS). It’s more straight forward especially if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

You can get Steam on just about any distro, for years at this point. And there’s always Flatpak for these cases too although for Steam I recommend native packages.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

The poor cleaning staff isn’t responsible for the dystopian ads, neither are other people who just need to use this bathroom.

Vandalizing the ads themselves, and only the ads, is something I could get behind though.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

Honestly I like Windows 11 better than Windows 10. I mean I don’t like or use either one, but if I had to I’d go with 11 (with debloat script, Powertoys, WSL2 and blocking telemetry with DNS as much as possible)

This is subjective of course but I prefer both the visual and sound theme of Win11 (I despised Win10 in both regards). Plus it has some additional nice qol features like, I think, tabs in explorer?

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

*Hope we don’t sturgeon you too much

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

German Grammar Fun Fact 3: “Sie” is also “she” and “they” in addition to the formal “you”. Which also means that it can’t work like the gender neutral singular “they” in english.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

I’m not aware of another one. Some other distros like Ubuntu and OpenSUSE ship AppArmor instead, which does similar things but isn’t considered quite as secure.

I know plenty of other popular distros don’t ship any Mandatory Access Control system at all which seems like a very bad security practice to me. Same thing with Firewalls.

Meta (Facebook / Instagram) to move to a "Pay for your Rights" approach (noyb.eu)

The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta plans to move to a “Pay for your Rights” model, where EU users will have to pay $ 168 a year (€ 160 a year) if they don’t agree to give up their fundamental right to privacy on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. History has shown that Meta’s regulator, the Irish DPC, is...

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

Facebook and Instagram, sure. But plenty of people are more or less forced to keep WhatsApp either because of people they want to be able to message that refuse to use anything else, or perhaps even because they need to be in some WhatsApp groups e. g. for work.

Communication platforms aren’t like web browsers or operating systems where you can switch at will to whatever else works for you, you’re more or less reliant on everyone you know also making the switch.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

Also great when you get some software as a deb for old Ubuntu and don’t want the trouble of manually making it work on a new system. Just make an old Ubuntu distrobox.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

That’ll work but distrobox is a much simpler solution

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

Use a shell with decent auto-completion. I have not been irritated by this in years.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

I use fish which is quite nice OOTB, although if you want a posix compliant shell, zsh with some plugins is also great.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

One thing you could do is plugging your monitor straight into the iGPU outputs and using DRI_PRIME only for applications that need the powerful dGPU.

Unless you want to run either everything or nothing on a specific GPU, I don’t think there’s a more convenient way than setting DRI_PRIME per application.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

I don’t think that would work since both GPUs are AMD and use the same driver

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

Lies, you can’t fit 12 hours of Audio on a CD (at least not Red Book Audio)!!!

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

That’s why I specified Red Book Audio (the actual CD Audio standard). Most people I know haven’t upgraded their CD Player since the 90s, and by the time MP3 got popular, people weren’t using CDs to listen to them.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

I’m not sure I’d call the whole show transphobic, however I only remember two or three times they mentioned transgender people on the show and it was always in a bad context.

One time Sheldon and Leonard were discussing how Penny was an improvement in almost every way over the previous tenant next door who was a tall muscular black transsexual (that’s the word they used). Another time Howard told a story where he hooked up with someone only to find out that they were a pre-op transsexual, which got him an “Oooohh” of pity from the audience/laugh track.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

I thought that was Rust’s job! Rust can only be mastered by trans women and femboys.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

Their wife wants a divorce because they’re an asexual king? /s

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

I wonder why they use A/B root in the first place instead of a single BTRFS partition with Subvolumes and snapshots

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

You listed AMDGPU-Pro as a kernel driver. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m quite sure it is a proprietary userspace OpenGL/Vulkan driver that uses the open source AMDGPU kernel driver.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

Metro Exodus has a native version with decent performance

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

Try using XWayland video bridge. It should allow any XWayland apps to use screen sharing. Unfortunately most distros either don’t ship it yet or ship broken versions but you can download nightly Flatpaks from Gitlab CI

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

That was my experience a month or two ago but last week I had no problem installing Neon unstable on a test system and it was amazingly stable though far from perfect.

That said, the developers using Plasma 6 obviously compile it themselves, yes.

Sh1nyM3t4l4ss,

In addition this feature makes debugging and developing KWin much easier because you can just restart the compositor without interrupting your workflow.
