PSA: Harrassing Linux Users, Devs and volunteers is ok. But, don't dare respond to the emperor..

I actually have no problem with them running a anti-linux community. It happens, and they like to pretend like we're getting upset about it, but we're not. Nobody cares...

What annoys me is that the Anti-linux part seems to be just being used as a mechanism to hide the community that it's a hate community that bullies people (including trans people), and it's no different to adding "DEI" to a statement to be racist or a bigot.

Wildfires expose — and detonate — buried bombs and mines from WWI and WWII

Kind of a silly comparison. A lot of the fires in US are because they imported eucalyptus trees from Australia, which have literally evolved to grow oil on their leaves and want to burn.

That's why Aussie bushfires are so insane every season too.

Here in Australia we don't need unexploded ordinates. Our trees are basically barrels of petrol, and in minor gusts even, firefighters can get overrun by a wall of fire quickly

A question for GNOME/KDE users

I like gnome, but, switched back to kde because the extensions I needed broke last fedora update.

I love cosmic, but the keyboard focus doesn't always follow into the correct tab, which was also a deal breaker

The only real issue I have with kde, is Google drive integration isn't baked in at the moment. But, I just use the website, and there were plenty of other solutions I could use too

Linux kernel 7.3 offers some huge performance boosts

Reply in thread

Every OS has potential optimisations.

There are already many games that run faster on Linux... Even with proton. It's likely why Meta uses Linux on the Quest 3.

The big benefit of Linux is that it can evolve more quickly, wheres, Windows and MacOS have to run in slower cycles

There's a reason servers generally use Linux. Many of the optimisations don't really affect normal people either, like Busy polling in the network stack (which madthumbs used as an example, and didn't understand its only used by low latency datacentres, as it literally trades power usage, and uses 100% CPU for faster responses).

Epic games store also coming to Linux now

Reply in thread

Pretty much 😂

The good news is that an official gog client is on the way too, and steam is already available

The real benefit of this is solely that it's likely that there will be more Linux native games, and even more work towards projects like wine

I won't be installing this. I switched my rog Ally x from Windows to steam os. I have no plans to switch back
