I use Fedora KDE, and I don’t think ive ever seen crashes that bad on my system (AMD CPU and GPU). I used to have a small problem with RADV crashing during video playback, but that solved itself after a few updates.

No self-respecting UI designer would ever want to work on that dinosaur of a codebase. The GIMP team is simply unable to do what Blender did, even if they made the UI their number one priority.

Isn’t C just wonderful?

You might have issues with permissions for serial ports on some distros, but there are loads of easy to follow guides for that. Linux definitely handles them better than windows though. I never had issues where they just stop working like on Windows.

The “liberal” German coalition is being actively hostile as usual…

Oh lawd, another thing to check out

Both GIMP 3 RC1 and FreeCAD 1.0 in the same month, damn

Same! I also have a separate directory for college assignments and stuff. Gonna set up separate gitconfigs for both soon, so there is a smaller chance of mixing up my credentials

I would love to give Firefox money, as long as they slash their CEO’s ridiculous salary

People on Hacker News are speculating that they implicitly define forking as “taking the project in a different direction in an independent repo”. The Github TOS say that everyone has the right to create a fork of any public repo in the Github sense of the word. It’s all a huge mess…

They have the audacity to use the term copyleft for that bullshit license… It doesn’t mean anything unless you have the right to fork it.

Linux all the way, for loads of practical and ethical reasons

Truat me, you ro not want to experience CPU based rendering on high resolution displays

I bet the others already gave a lot of good advice, but there is one thing I wand to emphasize. The way in which you install software matters more on Linux than on any other operating system. You are meant to install it through your distros package manager, which you will most likely use through the software management GUI of your distro. Do not download any executables from websites directly, unless you are absolutely sure that:

• They are made to work on your distro
• They come from a trustworthy source
• You have complete and up to date instructions on how to install them

Sometimes you might need to add additional repositories to your package manager, the same rules apply there. You might also run into things called Flatpaks and Snaps, these are universal package formats and another great option for installing software. Flatpaks work out of the box in a lot of distros. Number one rule there is to stick to things that are marked as verified, unless you have a good reason to trust them. These universal formats might be integrated in the GUI software manager too, this varies across distros.

If you follow those rules and keep your system updated, I don’t expect you will have much trouble with Linux.

Web 3 games are simply ponzi schemes hidden behind a super grindy game. As far as I know, none of these games actually produce anything of value from the labor put into them, so the payouts must come from new money entering the scheme.

The USB spec requires one master and one slave device, which is usually decided by which type of connector each side has. USB OTG can bypass that restriction, but I’ve only ever seen it done with micro USB or type C.

The new UI and effects look stunning, but I’m concerned about the new corporate direction the project is taking

The modern keybinds might make me drop micro for nano again

I tried Silverblue a year ago on my laptop and it was quite nice. Back then I had no idehow to properly use toolbox or rpm-ostree though, so it felt quite limiting. I had to go back to Windows on my laptop because of college, but I’ll try setting up a dual boot with Silverblue once the new Fedora beta drops. If that goes well, I might even switch to atomic on my main PC.
