Honestly I like Windows 11 better than Windows 10. I mean I don’t like or use either one, but if I had to I’d go with 11 (with debloat script, Powertoys, WSL2 and blocking telemetry with DNS as much as possible)

This is subjective of course but I prefer both the visual and sound theme of Win11 (I despised Win10 in both regards). Plus it has some additional nice qol features like, I think, tabs in explorer?

German Grammar Fun Fact 3: “Sie” is also “she” and “they” in addition to the formal “you”. Which also means that it can’t work like the gender neutral singular “they” in english.

I’m not aware of another one. Some other distros like Ubuntu and OpenSUSE ship AppArmor instead, which does similar things but isn’t considered quite as secure.

I know plenty of other popular distros don’t ship any Mandatory Access Control system at all which seems like a very bad security practice to me. Same thing with Firewalls.

I don’t think that would work since both GPUs are AMD and use the same driver

One thing you could do is plugging your monitor straight into the iGPU outputs and using DRI_PRIME only for applications that need the powerful dGPU.

Unless you want to run either everything or nothing on a specific GPU, I don’t think there’s a more convenient way than setting DRI_PRIME per application.

That’s why I specified Red Book Audio (the actual CD Audio standard). Most people I know haven’t upgraded their CD Player since the 90s, and by the time MP3 got popular, people weren’t using CDs to listen to them.

Lies, you can’t fit 12 hours of Audio on a CD (at least not Red Book Audio)!!!

I’m not sure I’d call the whole show transphobic, however I only remember two or three times they mentioned transgender people on the show and it was always in a bad context.

One time Sheldon and Leonard were discussing how Penny was an improvement in almost every way over the previous tenant next door who was a tall muscular black transsexual (that’s the word they used). Another time Howard told a story where he hooked up with someone only to find out that they were a pre-op transsexual, which got him an “Oooohh” of pity from the audience/laugh track.

I thought that was Rust’s job! Rust can only be mastered by trans women and femboys.

You listed AMDGPU-Pro as a kernel driver. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m quite sure it is a proprietary userspace OpenGL/Vulkan driver that uses the open source AMDGPU kernel driver.

Try using XWayland video bridge. It should allow any XWayland apps to use screen sharing. Unfortunately most distros either don’t ship it yet or ship broken versions but you can download nightly Flatpaks from Gitlab CI

Metro Exodus has a native version with decent performance

That was my experience a month or two ago but last week I had no problem installing Neon unstable on a test system and it was amazingly stable though far from perfect.

That said, the developers using Plasma 6 obviously compile it themselves, yes.

In addition this feature makes debugging and developing KWin much easier because you can just restart the compositor without interrupting your workflow.

Can’t wait to play DOOM on a cheese wheel

Pretty cool in principle, although the default word list on my system is awful for wordle.

Sounds awesome, at least in theory. It remains to be seen how much interest there is from Publishers.

I’m hoping he could revive some of the really old and poorly working Linux ports as well as games that barely run on modern Windows or Wine these days.

Although in practice I can’t think of any game in my library that is in need of such a refresh, they generally all work decently in Wine (and modern Windows) even if some have a broken Linux port.

Edit: Maybe this is more exciting for macOS as there are plenty of Mac games that remain 32 bit only and thus can’t run on Catalina and above (also who knows how long Apple will keep OpenGL compatibility and Rosetta around). And on mac you can’t just simply “run the game with Proton” instead.

Also as another thought, while the Linux port requirement is of course a plus for us, it might be off-putting particularly for publishers that have their own shitty stores / launchers without Linux support.

I’m surprised he was able to watch Paramount Plus. I would assume that site requires Widevine DRM, and would not assume that it’s available on RISC-V.

As for Blender and Kdenlive not working I’m assuming it’s not because of the ISA like Christopher said, but rather because the board likely ships with crappy GPU driver blobs that only support OpenGL ES and no desktop OpenGL. Which is an important detail that this guy always misses in SBC reviews.

Can we stop shaming people who buy NVIDIA?

For one, people want to keep using what they have and not buy something new just because it may work better on Linux, abd they may not even be able to afford an upgrade. They probably didn’t even know about Linux compatibility when they got it.

And additionally, some people have to use NVIDIA because e. g. they rely on CUDA or something (which is unfortunate but not their fault).

And honestly, NVIDIA is fine on Linux nowadays. It sucks that support for older cards will likely stay crappy forever but hopefully with the open kernel drivers and NVK newer cards won’t have to suffer that fate.

Basically none of your current software works out of the box (you’ll need a special Xorg implementation that works with your Wayland implementation in order to run non-Wayland applications).

I’ve never seen any distro with Wayland that didn’t have XWayland set up and working out of the box, so that’s not something the end user needs to worry about. And “Basically None” is also not true anymore. Practically anything made with GTK3/4, Qt5/6, SDL2, recent Electron versions etc. natively runs on Wayland. It’s mostly games, Wine and a lot of proprietary software that doesn’t.

Most applications are specific to your Wayland implementation instead of a general application that runs in all environments.

Wdym by that exactly? I mean, a KDE application will run just fine on GNOME or Wlroots compositors.
