Fair enough. What we desperately need is proper social media / modern internet education right from middle school level. Identifying dark patterns, echo chambers, bot/human impersonators, fake news. I feel like this awareness is missing in both youngsters and boomers.

I was a normie once. I too fell for misinformation in the past. If it wasn’t for the freely available information on the internet, I wouldn’t be here today.

enjoy the mainstream memes and discussion, but avoid the algorithmic content slop from them. That’s how I see the fediverse. It’s a win in my book.

I call it a layer 8 issue

There are 2 types of programming languages

• The type everyone keeps complaining about
• The type no one uses

I earliest I expect a Steam Deck 2 to come out would be in middle 2025

I am interested in knowing what’s the bandwidth to transmission power ratio of the device. If it’s low enough, it would be revolutionary for IoT devices.

The only pure-linux issues that I have faced in the last few years are due to Wayland. And it’s not an issue, it’s just the legacy application has not yet embraced Wayland yet. Otherwise it has been smooth sailing for me.

I respect your sacrifice

I haven’t seen many mentions of Nobara but you can try it out.

It’s essentially a gaming-centric version of Fedora. I was in your position a few weeks back and decided upon thing. Latest drivers and packages.

If you notice carefully towards the end, the cat sniffed the air and went right. It sniffing means he got the location of his pals. So the community position on this is that he found his friends. 🥰

You need to create an account to use the Playtron OS. That’s a big no-no for me

A package manager and app-store, which looks very similar from the outside, operates very differently with respect to security and privacy.

“side-loading” is literally the norm on Windows and Linux

Technically correct, which is the best type of correct

Edit: as long as you are not part of the infrastructure team. Then things break right after 5 PM.

Delete this. Now.

To add to your explanation

• most people have the specialized Windows plug. Microsoft has invested a lot of money in making sure people ONLY have access to the Windows plug
• Linux provides the same electricity signal that people need (maybe even better) but since people’s Windows plug don’t work on Linux’s wall socket, they get the impression that Linux doesn’t supply electricity.
• WINE is just the adaptor which people put on their Window’s plug. Now it easily fits on the Linux wall socket.

I’m seriously considering Bazzite now. Can you explain whether something like LaTeX with custom packages would work? I also don’t want to redownload the LaTeX packages to vanish after a system update.

Also, I’m a tiling window user (i3). Will it be possible to use it in desktop mode?
