No but I fucking hate geforce experience and the fact that I need to have an Nvidia account to use the features of my hardware. Now I can remove that garbage app from my pc, thanks Valve.

I’ll just buy a giant monitor then, it’s better anyway.

As a nixOS user, proud to say github is my backup. I like making Microsoft pay for my mistakes.

I recommend vesktop, it’s an open source discord client that pretty much fixed all the discord problems that I had on wayland. No need for nitro to stream high resolution, and it’s even compatible with betterdiscord themes 🤌.

Yeah you are right on that but there still are many backdoors on plenty of applications that are made by American companies. We also know that some agencies wanted to put backdoors on linux kernel etc. In that case why would you not trust an open source app, and trust a closed source one just because of the nationality of developers

I mean the same thing can be said about the USA, also if there are that many problems why don’t you just check the code, it’s one of the main strengths of open source software.

Since spotify was increasing the price AGAIN, I was willing to give Apple music a chance. Guess what, many of the soundtracks I listen to are not available in my country. Like why would you block it I already pay for the thing just let me listen to it. But I guess they just know better. And now I’m gonna selfhost my music just like I selfhost movies and tv shows.

Man there is a night and day difference between the comments here and on phoronix, what is their problem?

It actually recommends using nix-env -i, which is even worse because with that command it searches the whole repository instead of just getting the correct attribute on nixpkgs. It takes half a minute to run the command, it’s insane.

When I accidentally decimated my external hard drive, it had NTFS cause there were a few windows machines I would plug it in. Then I reformatted the disk but then I thought to myself, should I have another partition for my Linux machine because that drive gets corrupted and then I need to plug to a Windows machine to repair it once in a while. Then I created an ext4 partition on the disk. Then a few days after I shrinked the NTFS partition and extended the ext4 to the whole disk. Now that disk only has one partition called sda2. Which is kinda weird but makes it easier to distinguish from others disks on the system.

Next you want to rewrite everything in Rust.

If you have the courage, wink.

Nice read, thanks for the insight.

My condolences.

Adobe products: Hello there!

Promise.

If you really want the latest updates and technologies, you could use openSUSE or plain Arch. I heard Manjaro intentionally delays updates and I think in a rolling release cycle that would hurt the system. No idea about the size of repos on openSUSE but the other features are already there. Also if you think you can spend some more time to learn new things(nix programming language and more) I can recommend you to try NixOS or at least install the package manager( also called nix) on your current system. It is THE distro for reproducible builds. It has a huge repo too, rivaling AUR.

I use Arch btw.

Yeah but they hide some really useful extensions behind official VSCode with telemetry wall. Other than that it’s a cool editor.

They also killed Atom text editor in favor of VSCode.

Off topic but that one answer on superuser looks a lot like it was AI generated.
