Linux is not going to stop being monolithic. That’s why AOSP is looking into swapping out the kernel.

Mullvad is distributed and funded by Mullvad VPN but it was made entirely by the folks at Tor project. It’s by no means “just an ad for a VPN”. It’s the best anti-fingerprinting browser you can use to browse without connecting to the Tor network. Anti-fingerprinting is very hard hard business. There are a lot of academic research around it that needs perfect implementation. You can tell how much we need that from Google blocking 3rd party cookies in Chrome. It means they figured out a way to track users reliably without the use of cookies and they want to drawn out the competition.

It’s not even something to love. It should in the definition of a mobile OS/phone. It would be weird to say “I love that Android can output display”.

Flutter and dart are what you’d call source available rathen than open source.

I don’t think it’s anyone’s job to make sure newcomers do not leave Linux because “muh post was removed”. If you can’t take 2 minutes to find the correct sub to post your question, you won’t be able to use Linux either.

Lemmy has this problem where everything is upvoted no matter what. I’ve posted some dumb questions myself expecting them to get removed but they received upvotes instead. I’m thinking its either bots to drive engagement or people are very welcoming here or they’re just happy that Lemmy isn’t dead yet so they’ll upvote anything.

Isn’t there official insuramce revords for those type of things? Do they just take the reference’s word? I mean how do you even know who you’re talking is who they say they are.

The wiki for pipewire is very short and clear.

PopOS beats all if its an Nvidia laptop. I’d use arch for anything else.

I wonder how incompetent people who say Arch is unstable must be. It doesn’t even mean what they think it means. It just a way of saying you’ll get updates more frequently.

Another question then: I see it mentioned that other anticheats (Easy, etc.) also run as drivers, they just only run when the game is on. How is possible that we run such anticheats through proton? Is this just a misconception that some users have or did they make exceptions for Linux?

Given that they got hacked multiple times, and every update breaks their client, I don’t think it makes sense to trust they can secure their malware.

Arch. My home directory is a git directory that ignores all by default then I enable what I want to keep.

If I didn’t already have my relevant configurations tracked in git and my (quite simple) post-install script to copy the configs to relevant dirs, I guess I’d use Nix. I don’t see the appeal when I have the same functionality on a distro I am familiar with.

What’s better about QT6?

I’m with you on that. That’s why I don’t care about the defaults, out of the box experience, etc. I have my own defaults already.

Ah, I see. I was already on Wayland with no issues so I must’ve glossed over that.

I keep seeing people excited, then I check what’s coming and its all trivial changes to the defaults and whatnot. What is coming with 6 that is exciting?

I checked when it was created and that spotify command is the only one that makes sense time-wise.

Yes, that was annoying. Especially because I didn’t have a GUI file manager installed.

You’re right, file just shows data. lsof did not return anything either, I had already renamed the file to be able to reference it in the terminal anyway.
