debian’s netinstaller is great

have you actually tried it? trying mint after using arch for a year (btw), it’s actually really well made and the consistency is crazy good. The UI looks and feels better in person than in screenshots

yeeah I personally wouldn’t trust something that is"probably" e2ee, especially when there are options that are provably e2ee

to each their own ig

this is fucking disgusting:

"We continue to believe there are better solutions to age verification that can be implemented at the primary points of entry, such as the operating system (OS), device, or app-store levels.

this is their true motive, they want ownership of our devices and the software running on them

can you verify that it’s E2E encrypted?

does op run their own instance? it’s fucking goofy how it just returns a 502

I’m confused, where did the murder implication come from??

wait huh?? it’s a twm for windows? i kinda want that (also damn it’s agpl)

why does it have to be webview though

woah woah woah win11 doesn’t look good at all what are you talking about 👀

anyway for theming you should look into kvantum, it lets you customise qt application themes with SVGs.

installing the proprietary driver isn’t too bad in my experience as long as you’re comfortable with your package manager.

It’s just that the drivers are simply bad (e.g. some filters in gamescope are borked, you can’t use vaapi for hardware video acceleration, etc). these issues exist on all distros because they’re all using the same proprietary drivers

I don’t think the nvidia-open kernel module works with nvk, it’s only compatible with the proprietary userspace driver

if you want to use nvk you have to use the nouveau kernel driver

that’s mainly because of Wayland’s security model I think, it’s trading a tiny bit of convenience for lots more security in terms of things like preventing easy keylogging.

You can still do keylogging in wayland but that has to be done at the compositor or evdev layer, which requires root access or control of the DE, which makes it more secure. I’m sure you could write something in C to do this though

It might be an annoyance for you and I get that, but your small annoyance improves security for lots more people than you realise. I’m sure you can adapt to not using the script though (I also use multiple layouts and I work fine without a script like this)

yeah you sometimes need to force applications to run with xwayland, for qt apps I think you just assert the environmental variable:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

that usually works for me

All my experiences with amd gpus have been fantastic, their drivers work beautifully and when they have even a slight issue it’s been problems with protocols adoption and whatnot, never the driver.

It’s such a contrast to the dogshit experience I’ve had with all the nvidia gpus I use, I really can’t think of a reason except cuda that a Linux user should get a nvidia device.

I hope when the people adopting Linux now start building their next pc demand for nvidia noticeably shrinks. Or maybe they’d be bankrupt by then because of the ai bubble crash

probably not, I move SSDs between computers all the time and linux always just works

very different story for windows installations though 🤮

yeah i mean ofc if you also put everyone in the world that that datacentre is serving in a human datacentre, I’m sure it’d also consume tons of power (in food)

is winboat and Winapps basically the same thing?

also that’s definitely not going to have adequate performance, you’d need something like looking glass and that requires a spare gpu or sriov/gvt-g. it’s probably easier to set up with a standalone vm

that might be true, but no one learns calculus in a ball pit
