  • If you look at something like fedora images, its something like fedora Linux 7.13.1-201.x64.f44, And this only gets worse once you get to something like the surface kernel

    So probably it will shorten the names to something like Fedora Linux, but then you won’t know what you want to select if anything goes wrong

    What I mean is that boot managers are like static friction: it’s a theoretical thing that simply does not impact you as long as youre moving, until the moment you stop at which point it becomes real and starts pushing back as strongly as you configured them to be

    Just make your grub wait 3 secs before booting, it isn’t worth saving that one press on the enter key



  • I like being able to debug stuff.

    Windows nowadays does not provide any meaningful logs, so everyone in their forums and such is just guessing around why things won’t work.

    DirectSound libraries are missing? Install them via a sub menu of a sub menu of a really small text in the settings, wait 20 minutes for a „loading bar” telling you nothing, and guess what problem it had when it just told you no.

    Aside from all the bugs like the menu bar just not opening and preview updates being shown with the same size as regular updates (great because older people will just install those updates too)



  • Thats what gpg already does

    But honestly I don’t see how it could be trusted. GPG is based on your social circles verifying your Gpg key to prevent fakes, which this just doesn’t have

    Also the thing just does not make sense. The website says this is a workaround for authorities not serving an ID, but they should somehow accept this one??? The only reason someone dosent serve you because of a passport is because they are working by the rules of the authority thats not giving you an ID in the first place

    This is very much like one of those gag articles like






  • I am indeed a gamer. I also prefer My software to not stop me from gaming.

    For example, 1/5 of my windows system is in Hungarian. This is a common problem when creating a windows iso. It is not possible to create one without leaving some trage of the last system behind. There is no fix to this.

    Here’s a list of the rest:

    • the N version without the stuff that would be illegal in Europe cannot install media codecs from windows itself (which I can’t game without)
    • the menu crashes and dosent return
    • their central repo is just as much a scam as simply using softonic or some other shady download site
    • Their Game Bar along with everything else can only be uninstalled via a shady script
    • I had to reinstall twice in a day because my system gets in a random.updating screen without me ever prompting it to update and never stopping until I force shut it down

    Or in your words: It can’t game if I install Windows (See point 1). Aren’t you a gamer??? How can’t you game without games?

    Or, to not kill the few remaining braincells of the people who still have some: I’d prefer to play 99% of my library without having an aneurism than 5 more games (like, fortnite, Arena Breakout Infinite, Tarkov (Delta force also, but that game is dead)



  • I have a multi monitor setup and regularly play helldivers, war thunder, etc on an rtx card on a display with gsync

    The games often have stuttering problems and behave generally unexpectedly when in full screen, and mouse capture dosent work, so 50% of the time I had to disable the monitor so it dosent go to the other screen and tab out of the game

    Tried on both endeavourOS and mint, so its probably a cinnamon thing

    I use it on my backup PC tho and never had a problem with normal applications, its great performance wise


  • Fedora

    Used linux for 4 years now, I’ll list it and the reason why I switched

    • Ubuntu (snaps, etc)

    • arch (too much setup)

    • opensuse (nvidia drivers don’t get checked for size, broke my GUI many times

    • Gentoo (too much compile time)

    • bazzite (a bit boring)

    • fedora atomic (immutable, can’t get mullvad on it), still use on my htpc

    • mint (cinnamon DE is shit)

    • endeavour (its still arch)

    • fedora regular
