My mom got my XPS9350 i used to bring to uni, and at the moment, it has Fedora in it.
She repeatedly claimed it was a lot more straightforward for her to understand, compared to the endless inconsistencies and issues on Windows. All things considered, she is fairly tech illiterate too.
Plus it’s easy for me to remote into, in case something breaks
The original announcement isn’t even very long. Could you not have read it before leaving this comment?
You don’t have interchangeable fingerprints? Keep up with the times /s
That’s a typical DHH article, essentially. He has some interesting insights, but everything else is borderline cult-leader opinions, and some people follow it as gospel
I hate Elon just as much as the next guy, but pretending that this wasn’t a marvel of engineering is really disingenuous. People with intelligence beyond my comprehension made that a reality, and just because the company had his face on it, it doesn’t make it any less impressive
I use Gitlab, but i’m becoming increasingly more unhappy with it over time.
When i have enough resources run another local machine, im planning to switch to switch to Codeberg, with selfhosted Woodpecker CI instead
Ah that’s probably why I couldn’t dig it up. Nixpkgs gets a ton of activity daily so this PR get buried haha.
Great to hear it’s already there
It’s absolutely mental that a reverse-engineered hardware stack, with a bespoke gpu driver in Rust, achieved this kind of performance, in this amount of time. God tier skills, between all the engineers involved in the project
There’s no PR open for nixpkgs at the moment, so either we wait until a trusted packager updates it, someone makes a PR, or you can also use a thirdparty flake
6.2 has been merged into staging-next
I use Krita every time i need to edit something. It’s more than good enough for me
If the backwards compatibility will arrive as expected, I imagine that will become a reality
It’s illegal when a regular person steals something, but it’s innovation and courage, when a huge corporation steals something. Interesting how that works
Especially in comparison to some of the horrors we’ve seen released on Switch, from Nintendo’s own first-party developers, the engine XC3 was built on is pretty damn impressive, for how much it offers on such limited and old hardware.
If they can somehow iterate and improve over that, and reuse it further, that’s great news
Neo-nazis, or any kind of fascists, have no space anywhere. They can fuck off to the next platform, but they can’t run forever
If your CPU was one of the affected units with defective hardware, no amount of microcode will fix that. Otherwise get the update as usual
Oh no, not a new thing. Manjaro has a very long history of consistently fucking things up. I would not, in good consciousness, recommend Manjaro to anyone
Endeavour will benefit from it directly. There’s nothing proprietary in the distribution, except for a repository with their theming, a keyring/mirrorlist, and a few alpm hooks for nvidia and dracut installs.
With Manjaro it’s a little different, but who knows. They have other issues to worry about
I genuinely just don’t understand what’s going on in the tech sector anymore
Short answer is that you don’t have to do anything.
Slightly longer answer is that you can remove all existing nvidia packages, with any boot parameters they may have required, call it a day.
I use Bibata however I don’t really have a strong preference for any specific one.
Going to return to this thread a bit later, just to see if other people link something interesting
