Been using arch for a long time, it never really break itself. Even changes that require manual intervention are usually minor “we have changed how java pkgs are listed please reinstall according to your needs”
I mean the problem isn’t the update process itself, it’s Nvidia changing and breaking things that we have no idea. You only know when you boot up and suddenly something that was working such as a display arrangement gets messed up. After a few years using Linux you get used to cheroot using a live USB and downgrading Nvidia. Would immutable distros solve this?
Earlier this week, Samsung announced its Android 14 update and confirmed a list of devices that would be updated. Surprisingly, the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series were included on that list, but they’ve since been removed, confirming they likely won’t get Android 14 after all.
only glitch recently is that I couldn’t get multi-account containers to work. 2 years ago I couldn’t even open setting’s menu under wayland, so it’s been evolving

Rarely something breaks my system (other than me messing with it), but this update was one of them. At first I thought it was the kernel upgrade that also came by today, but downgrading this pkg to 530 ~ made X and gdm work again

At this point, it's only going to get worse. It's a very large Venture Capital backed company, on track to IPO.
Large VC/public companies goals will follow more of what we see with "mainstream" sites and social media. It'd be against their goals and their business to have less ads, less agorithms showing what their partners want to see and not what the user wants to see, less bloat on their front end. Even if the CEO wanted to go that way, he'd quickly be replaced.
It's a self sustaining movement of capital now and users are annoyances that they have to deal to achieve their goals.
I'll be honest, I started using redding decade ago because most forums were very niche, specific, with weird to follow rules, very low on users, and reddit seemed to always have a community for each topic I had an interest on. It still does, but the end is approaching fast, and I don't want to search Discord servers, social media videos, or even ancient methods that are alternatives like IRC servers, mailing lists ; search results are useless in Google due to SEO and already affect other search engines
It all comes up to finding one or more sites that don't look ancient or too mobile focused, and if enough people are going to use it and stick to it. Otherwise it'll just be another corner of the web filled with a few crazy users
With the advances in gaming on Linux in recent years, it is so tempting to switch full time. I would absolutely love to, but I am a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber and it is where I play a lot of my games on PC. I know you can use the cloud version, but I cannot stomach streaming games in their current state, so it is a no go. A...
If you choose Arch/Arch based, or choose to install one of its supported kernels, NTFS support is integrated into the mainline kernel since version 5.15
So you'd be able to use your already existing disk/partitions that have NTFS. Of course you'd still need to install the OS in another partition.
I tried to keep NTFS around when I switched, but ext4 is much better for spinning disks and support for whole disk encryption (LUKS) is also another pro that made me switch everything after a while

KDE Plasma - Is it possible to show the user running a GUI in its window title ?
I run different programs as different users, is it possible to have a visual indication of wether a user or another is running them ? e.g dolphin as user1, dolphin as user2, etc
