This is the news I needed to hear today. Too much bad news elsewhere rn

What’s sophist mean?

No way

Woah my favorite band, mentioned in the wild

Awesome! Something I always wondered about 2DS, what do you do with it when youre in a situation where you might be quickly pulling it out or putting it away? With a 3DS its easy to just close the lid and slide it in your pocket, but a 2DS doesn’t have any way to prefect its screens in a pocket or bag

What’s dnf5?

Maybe Nobara is a good alternative for people who would care about that? Its pretty close to stock fedora AFAIK (I’m still a novice tho)

I think they were trying to say they suggest drop.lol

The video actually addresses that by mentioning a company coming in nice at first and then doing EEE to kill off ll competition and leave them the only significant player in the space

can you elaborate on this? I’m on nobara and I had a hard time trying to get flatseal to work for syncthing

sorry if this is harsh but this seems like kind of a waste of time when distrochooser.de exists? I think it’d make a ton of sense to link that in the sidebar but a wall of text (or a huge flow chart) is just gonna be skipped by the type of people who are asking what distro to use first instead of researching it themselves anyway. if someone’s asking in a forum like Lemmy or even in discord servers, they usually just want quick answers. if we’re gonna link them something instead of just saying “mint” or whatever, it should at least be something easily digestible like distrochooser.de

I just double checked and it looks like it’s actually stock chromium, my bad. id still prefer Firefox but chromium is at least better than chrome

id have nobara go back to Firefox as default browser, or at least a chromium that’s a little more palletable like Vivaldi or something. heck even a checkbox at installation asking which browser to install would be fine, anything but stock Google chrome

edit: just double checked and it looks like nobara uses chromium not chrome, my bad

my old desktop was named George, inspired by the word “GeForce” on the gpu. my new one is Leo, mostly because I just like that name, but also because it’s my first desktop built for linux. My first server was Bertha bc its physical size was a lot bigger than I expected and I had to find a new place to store it, and my newest server is even bigger so I named it Marge. My clunky old 16" laptop from 2010 is named Mondo.

what’s the project you lead?

anydesk is fairly popular afaik and cross platform, just not FOSS. I used to use it to control my steam deck from my Windows PC. One major upside is anydesk requires the user to accept a connection before control is handed over

or even nobara for steam deck

whats libreboot? does (what im assuming is) a bootloader really have that much impact on performance after the PC has finished booting?

yup

I’m not sure how you can get that package on Ubuntu, but for what it’s worth Ive had a much better time ever since I switched from Ubuntu to Nobara. it really has everything I need for gaming out of the box and everything just works. I’m sure a full reinstall is way more of a hassle than you’d want to deal with rn, but if you get to that point I’d highly suggest nobara
