Twitch sucks!
  • There's also PeerTube which supports live streams and even supports distributing a sizable portion of the load via P2P. Clients can seed your stream and distribute it themselves, lightening the load on your server. I've used it a few times, it's very neat and it works well. Only con is the latency (it's around 2 minutes like old school twitch)

    Zen Browser | Privacy focused, open-source, Firefox Fork
  • Are they based on Firefox ESR? That made me quit Floorp, it was pretty disappointing to be on a legacy reskin of Firefox.

    Harris secures enough delegate endorsements to win the Democratic presidential nomination
  • I dunno man, complaining about the part of the democratic process where you get to vote your party's candidate seems pretty basic democracy to me, but I must not understand American "democracy" 🤷

    AGDQ 2024 has concluded, raising over $2.5 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation!
  • Yeah, don't look past the veneer of the Prevent Cancer Foundation (and GDQ's founders are pretty cozy with them). Sure they're saints compared to The Completionist (& co.), but they mostly just do education/outreach which, while important, is completely US based and no doubt doubles as soliciting/fundraising, and don't really fund research nearly as much as you would probably guess (their 2022 financial statements indicate 4.6m spent on education, 800k spent on outreach, 1.44m on fundraising and only 1.1m on research). If you're outside the US you're unlikely to ever be impacted by their work. Their salaries are also way higher than DWB USA.

    Palworld has sold over 4 million copies in only about 3 days. Momentum has increased since yesterday, with the latest sales at 86,000 units per hour.
  • Yeah but this is a literal nobody coming into the market and pulling almost half the sales numbers as the single biggest franchise in the world with near 30 years' worth of brand recognition. That's still got to be somewhat of a wakeup call.

    Hot take
  • Disagree on picking RPM distros for an absolute beginner (this is what the image is about at least). SUSE maybe but you don't want a newbie having to deal with US patent bullshit and especially SELinux. Similarly, no newbie will ever pic a barebones WM as a first time user.

    Tesla removes Disney+ from vehicles amid Elon Musk's Twitter beef with Bob Iger
  • The lawsuit you're referring to is about a poor old woman who got second degree burns, took McD to court and won, all while being slandered by the media for being some litigation happy grifter. Just saying.

    Year of Linux on the Desktop
  • Even IT people don't give a shit about security until it's way too late. Source: getting out of a job where the median age of a server is around 3-4 years old with no updates and runtimes hard installed outside repositories.

    Leaker says Sony expects PS5 Pro specs to surface this month, as dev kits make their way to game studios
  • It's slightly different though. The PSOne was a post-PS2, cut-price version for the low end market. Same for the NES' second version and more (360 E, PS2/3 Slims, Wii Mini, etc.). The PS4 Pro was the first real mid cycle performance upgrade we got IIRC (aside from the PSP getting double the ram mid cycle, I guess).

    So... how to fix this?
  • If it's just the dirty flag (it was uncleanly unmounted) you can try

    ntfsfix -d /dev/sdc1

    Still probably better to boot into Windows and let it deal with it (ntfs tools are still reverse engineered stuff after all), and check journalctl before doing it, but it works in a pinch.

    KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session
  • I had a quick go at it yesterday (the latest 535 broke DDC CI for one of my monitors, making plasma-powerdevil unable to start) and for whatever reason KWin ran at something like 3 seconds per frame. No that's not a typo, I mean it. I hope it's fixed before it gets to Arch's repo.

    EDIT: It works! I had to switch to the DKMS driver (the main one isn't in the repos yet) but other than that my Wayland session didn't die a horrible death. Well smooth. I still didn't test much, but at least night light works.

    KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session
  • Yeah, as usual the opinionated crew are making something that one may even like feel like it's forced down everyone's throat (see: systemd, snap...) and making everything worse. I don't see how any Linux desktop distro worth its salt can get by ignoring 90% of the PC GPU market share and essentially forcing them into an inferior desktop experience for pure ideology's sake, and I LIKE Wayland. I even put up with all its quirks in a particularly quirky implementation (KWin). But this ain't it if you want users to use your OS.

    Proton 8.0-4 Released with Support for More Windows Games on Linux
  • I am this exact case and it's getting better. A month ago I installed Arch on my Nvidia desktop and it had multiple problems: returning from sleep, really bad cursor lag hitches, video would freeze at random, applications would flicker, etc. Nowadays most of it is gone, unfortunately the really bad freezes after changing resolution on monitors are still there though

    Migrated from Windows to Linux. Decided to share list of answers/statements I was looking for before did it (and could not find).
  • It's because it's bleeding edge, extremely well documented and extremely popular. Bleeding edge is exciting and you're gonna end up on the arch wiki anyway regardless of distro, so you may as well go to the source.

    Do mind though it doesn't mean it's easy, like at all, and I fundamentally agree, there's a million better choices for first timers.

    Finally had enough of Windows. I'm packing up. I'm nervous!
  • Idk if I would suggest Endeavour to a first time user. In my experience it has been perfectly stable and simple, except for some random boot time kernel panics, but the potential for an inexperienced user to break an install without at least some core concepts of a package manager, especially with the AUR, is certainly there.

    Nearly 500 smartphone brands have left the market since 2017
  • Used Sony 5 III was my play from the V30 and I'm honestly still kind of ambivalent about it. DAC not as good, 21:9 aspect ratio is just stupid. Great display, camera and size though.

    Proton 8.0-3 Released With More Windows Games Running On Linux, Fixes
  • Returning Arch user (absent since 2008/9) here, using Plasma Wayland. Overall a positive experience but there's lots of little finicky things to setup, and I haven't tried using linux-zen like in my EndeavorOS work laptop, I imagine that's a bit more finicky with DKMS.

    Nothing out of the ordinary for Arch thus far though, just manual configuration.

    Sometimes, I get tired of Linux
  • He's decent enough to follow, but honestly his content is kinda mediocre. It's mostly reading off news of off aggregators, distro reviews (I don't really distrohop...), opinion pieces, and very surface level UI UX stuff (which is what he's passionate about, after all), mixed with the usual tuber tropes like padded top X lists, clickbaity titles and the like.

    I don't even mind the clickbait, as a positive example I find NetworkChuckCoffee's videos interesting for example, despite having all the tropes. Much more of a "get shit done, learn things" type of approach, enough to dip your toes in any given concept, so then you can go off and understand it, learn it and add it to your toolbelt. Useful.
