you can't convince me that anyone is actually using lfs in 2023. tinkering with it maybe, and I can see someone doing alfs for specialized shit, but there's no way in hell anyone is actually using it as their regular daily driven os on their personal computer. it just doesn't make sense.

real people outside of the ubuntu space are using debian, fedora, manjaro, maybe something like pop os or mint. there's no barrier to entry, performance difference is negligible if present at all, and you don't have to spend a full day getting it ready

most distros that aren't like slackware/gentoo/arch/etc. install with calamares these days, it handles dual boot configs simply and without issue. even doing like debian netinst, I don't remember it having any trouble

apparently scrot isn't among those packages.

just use slackware, the whole point is it comes with all the packages

it's been years since I bothered with windows I'll admit, but I'm fairly certain calamares handles it all for you too

they didn't buy wsl. they bought sfu way back when but wsl is all fresh code since sfu had been depreciated for ages by the time they got around to doing wsl development.

I've noticed some sleep issues. my solution was telling my computer to just turn off my monitors instead

nah my workaround is fine and I went with that as soon as I noticed the problem. I can eat the extra 20w worth on my power bill

you know how it is, no such thing as a temporary solution

what does "they don't respect our ecosystem" mean? nvidia devs put more manpower, more hours, and more lines of code into linux than amd ever has or ever will. the drivers are closed source, who cares, I'm not rms and you aren't either. I challenge you to find anyone doing real work on real computers with an AMD card. not gaming, not home desktops, not all this hobbyist shit. I'm talking chips pegged at 400w for days or weeks at a time work. machine learning, scientific computing type work. they're all running posix systems with nvidia cards in them.

if you want a seamless desktop experience on linux, go intel. if you want video games, go amd. if you want real work go nvidia. stop sucking your favorite evil megacorp's dick and you'll learn real quick that there's a right tool for the job.
