Definitely time to just use debian, mint MX, or pop os even. I did a lot of hopping though and I’ve settled on Nobara KDE. Mint was great but the Bluetooth was finicky for some reason, and debian is mostly just ubuntu with some gui stuff removed. PopOS is basically just debian until COSMIC but still good too.
We need to go back to pre-discord and bring back forums man. Don’t get me wrong, discord has its uses, all my friends use it, but discord killing forums and websites was really bad for the internet as a whole. Like look at dolphin, made before discord, it has its own website, its own forums. Hopefully if Nintendo does ever come after dolphin they’ll at least be able to keep the website and forums up.
Since nvidia drivers do not properly implement implicit sync, this protocol not existing is the root cause of flickering with nvidia graphics on Wayland. This MR being merged means that Wayland might finally be usable with nvidia graphics with the next driver release....
God I fucking hope so man. I’m so tired of Nvidia not working on Wayland properly. It’ll be so nice to have VRR and gSync on Wayland without the awful flickering.

You could say Gen Z “chooses” a lot of things. Gen Z “chooses” not to buy houses (we can’t afford them) Gen Z “chooses” to be mentally ill (not even 10 years ago, “autism” was just “the weird kid”) Gen Z “chooses” to rent Gen Z “chooses” not to buy food Gen Z “chooses” to let climate change fuck the earth Gen Z “chooses” to not have kids (although here we actually don’t want them, but also couldn’t afford them) and so on.
The nvidia 545 drivers are an absolute dumpster fire. Even for beta drivers they are easily the worst drivers I’ve ever used. They claim to fix the vrr gsync bug tho… so as soon as they fix gestures broadly everything else, maybe they’ll be good
I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to...
Really recommend mint, or ubuntu. Please for the love of god stay away from arch and all of it’s derivatives, or at least try Ubuntu/Mint first. Also do NOT use manjaro it sucks, it is not maintained well at all
Bought a new brother laser printer (fuck hp inkjet), decided to print something on Windows. Typical Windows could detect the printer even though it shows up in the network section as a device.

I just moved and I was literally in shock when Mint auto-added my Dads printer INSTANTLY and I printed on it first try no problem. I have literally had so many issues with printers (and this one) and I honestly expected printing to be out of the question on Linux so I’m definitely impressed.
My only thing with these kind of generational blaming memes is that it wasn’t “the previous generation” that fucked us, it was the rich and powerful. It ALWAYS has been and it ALWAYS will be. The average Joe in 1960 wasn’t wringing their hands like a bond villain going “nyeh heh heh, today I will invent CLIMATE CHANGE!” It was the CEO of companies like shell who knew about stuff like climate change and lied. Generation blaming isn’t productive and your aiming at the wrong people! Although the child hitting thing is actually just abuse and fucked up, THAT you can def blame the boomers for.
Last time I tried gaming on Linux, this was the thing that made me switch. Ironically all my games worked fine, but no GSync with more than one monitor active killed me because I really like watching stuff while I game.
