const_void,

I’ve never understood how this is good for Linux. Why is having more users so important?

const_void, (edited )

But why do we want more proprietary software running on Linux? Wouldn’t we be recreating the same situation that Windows has?

Edit: Why downvote me instead of replying with a reason why I’m “wrong” or discussing further? Is Lemmy turning into Reddit already?

const_void,

This seems like wishful thinking to me. Is there any data that supports that with more users comes more FOSS developers?

const_void,

Yeah, I can’t stand technical videos for that reason. I just want the content and nothing more.

const_void,

Besides the installer, in what ways do Debian and Fedora hold your hand?

My graphics card BIOS chip malfunctioning coincided with my Wayland desktop glitching out

I have a 6900 xt GPU of which had random crashes for a month, I then decided to load a new BIOS on to the board and found that the chip was not reading at all. Dual BIOS so no issue. I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip then turned on my PC to find all applications that used electron to render were crapping out making...

const_void,

I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip

How did you determine it was faulty? What did you replace it with? How did you flash the new chip? This story doesn’t make sense.

const_void,

Duntun? Never heard of this brand. Is it safe to use?

const_void,

Awesome. I used this pretty often when overclocking CPUs and GPUs. It really generates stress.

const_void,

Really loving seeing more hardware supporting and shipping with open-source firmware.

const_void,

It even tries to make you feel bad for some relatively innocuous prompts.

This is the darkest part of these. Google and Microsoft are now controlling what questions you can even ask and if they’re not the right question you’ll get a stern lecture. What in the actual fuck?

const_void,

What feature are you waiting for in Plasma 6?

const_void,

Yet another bubble. Same as the Crypto scam bubble last year.

Another successful OpenBSD setup

I've been buying these little boxes from AliExpress for years to use as firewalls and routers. My oldest one is almost 9 years old now! OpenBSD installs just fine. Just a BIOS tweak to always boot up after power is restored.

@selfhosted

const_void,

No and they don’t provide the source either. Makes you wonder what’s running in there.

const_void,
const_void,

Sure as long as security isn’t a concern

const_void,

As @floofloof stated:

The only concerns are that you don’t get BIOS updates, and you don’t know for sure that there’s nothing nasty in the firmware.
