  • Even without considering laptops, I can already imagine quite a few circumstances where someone might want monitors of differing DPIs. I’ve actually thought sometimes of getting a smaller monitor I can have off to the side that I display a browser window containing mostly text on when I’m playing videogames or working in something like Blender or Aseprite; yknow, for referencing a guide, wiki, or manual or something. I don’t even have a super high desire for a multi-monitor setup outside of that.


  • I honestly just stick with X11 because of the high degree of compatibility, and I often already rely on X11-only software anyways like Redshift (I know there’s Wayland-supporting alternatives, but I’m picky and don’t like switching if I don’t feel I need to), also my DE/WM of choice is currently awesomewm and I think I’ve heard mixed things about using awesomewm on Wayland (or it might not even be compatible at all. I just woke up and I’m struggling to remember lol)

    Wow what the hell, this is the first I’m hearing of this change. I use Rocky Linux for my server atm and I was thinking I liked it for server use quite a lot more than Fedora, but if they’re going to do this then I’m going to have to jump ship unfortunately. Maybe I’ll go back to Debian. Or even better, maybe I’ll try using Devuan in a prod server setup for once?

    I’m super not happy to have to jump ship again though when I JUST settled into something I’m comfortable with that works near perfectly well for my usecases, after multiple years of jumping around undecided.

    E: Although I did just read that statement from the Rocky Linux team, and maybe it’ll be fine? But I’m still gonna prepare to move just in case this fucks over the Rocky Linux ecosystem anyways







  • I mostly use my homebrewed DSi now, but I’d argue the 3DS (esp. the non-XL version, what with my tiny hands) is probably the better handheld for emulation over the DSi, on account of having beefier hardware (seriously, even SNES emulation was kinda struggling last I tried it on the DSi, though I imagine it’s since improved) and a more mature and polished-feeling homebrew ecosystem. I just don’t go for my 3DS usually because I currently own an XL.

    I’ve never tried one of those emulation handhelds like the Analogue Pocket though so I don’t really have a point of comparison there.



  • Fedora! Have been super not a fan of Windows for years now so I avoid it hardcore when I can.

    Linux in general is a lot easier to set up programming environments on, and also just generally it’s a lot more flexible when it comes to customization, which is definitely important when you’re a big picky bitchbaby like I am.

    Fedora specifically I like because there’s something I just really like about RHEL-related distros (to the point that i use Rocky Linux on my server also). They feel really polished and dnf is probably my favourite package manager of all the ones I’ve tried so far. I do have a few issues with it, and I miss having access to the AUR when I used various Arch-baseds over the years, but all in all I’m very happy with it and I don’t see myself switching distros for desktop use any time soon.
