Twitch sucks!

Reply in thread

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)

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.

KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session

Reply in thread

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.

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.

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.

So what the boink is Bazzite "cloud native" blah?

Reply in thread

As a devops professional I understand your points perfectly here but IMHO container native is a much better more descriptive definition. Normies see cloud and think hyperscalers and big tech, not the CNCF. They don't understand it and it's our/your(/the CNCF'S) duty to make the concepts more accessible IMHO.

So... how to fix this?

Reply in thread

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.
