Yeah, adding a separate microarchitecture like amd64v3 would be a separate item. They might be able to do that with amd64v3 overlay repos that only contain packages that most benefit from the newer microarchitecture.

Personal stuff goes in ~/Projects

Work stuff goes in ~/Work/Code

Especially if you’re using raid5 for multi disk.

Still pretty important given how many systems are using the 1.0 series.

Snaps have had a permission system for at least 5 years now.

I don’t have a good comparison for this since my Intel CPUs are from 2014 or earlier, but I was thoroughly impressed with how well my new AMD laptop did video encoding (compared to the only-as-expected bumps in performance otherwise). Do you have examples of how much better QuickSync is than VCN?

I generally use avocado and horseradish that I dye green for some reason.

Better to put thin slices of raw fish on it.

Next time use arborio rice. It sticks together nicely and creates a protective layer for your keyboard.

Antix would be removing the kinky German stuff, but also no.

Nope

Missionary but with a bunch of kinky German bondage equipment.

Depends what/when you mean.

Debian 12 was released in June and has some newer, and some older, packages than Ubuntu 24.04. For example Ubuntu has LibreOffice 24.2.2 while Debian has 7.4.5.

Debian testing currently has a similar distribution to Ubuntu 24.10, though over the next 6 months it’ll pull ahead of that, but Ubuntu 25.04 will likely have on average newer packages than Debian testing until its beta freeze.

Debian unstable has always had newer packages than the others.

Wayland was entirely unusable and mired in politics. (Still is mired in politics tbh.) So Canonical took the things they wanted, added things they needed to get it working, and called it Mir.

When Wayland finally became functional, they also made mir a Wayland compositor.

Some of the Wayland Frog protocols stuff is stuff that originated with Canonical trying to make Wayland usable before they took their ball and went home because the giants of the industry didn’t want to talk to a company of under 1000 people.

Much more appealing to me is running Android apps on Linux officially. I don’t want to use Android as my main system, but I sure as heck would love to have one or two Android apps available on my Linux Machines.

It’s not a perfect comparison, but if we go by the Steam Hardware Survey, the first item I can find on the list that’s not supported with the latest beta drivers is the GT 730, at 0.21% of users. And it’s from June 2014.

Its passmark score is 835, which is lower than the 9 year old Intel HD 520 (867). I somehow doubt though that driver support for Vulkan/Wayland will be the major blocker.

Don’t their current beta drivers support like… 10 year old products?

I have a lot of complaints about Nvidia (which is one of the reasons I moved away from their cards), but longevity of support hasn’t really been one of them.

I use kolourpaint to make memes

Because automobile regulation in the US is an absolute joke.
