It’s not really a live tracker or tracked by popularity, but if i’m looking for software in a specific category to see what choices there are i often go the archwiki list of applications.

I think he’s referring to framework financially supporting omarchy and hyprland.

Yeah i was pretty young at the time, maybe like 10 years old or something lol, so it was probably too complicated for me back then. I tried ubuntu and linux mint somewhere around 2010 on my first laptop, but i just tried it because it looked so different compared to windows, but i didn’t get the point of it and switched back because my windows games didn’t work lol. Ended up giving it another try back in 2021 when i saw LTT talk about how linux was actually usable as a gaming platform, and i got sick and tired of windows and their creepy questions everytime you clean install. Have been using linux ever since.

Bruh i remember as a kid watching a tutorial on youtube from some guy installing yellow dog linux on his ps3, wanted to try it as well but never managed to do it at the time, and then later the other os feature was removed from ps3.

Streaming services suck in general if you ask me. Even on windows the apps are ass imo. As an ultrawide user i always hated that i can’t zoom in on movies or shows to get rid of the black bars on the top and bottom and fullscreen it properly. I understand that that’s a weird edge case but it’s just one of the problems i had. With disney+ in particular, even on the windows app i couldn’t stream in 4k. I figured i’d try watching on ps4, but the audio would have this weird clipping like once every minute, which wasn’t an issue with the hardware, because it also happened on ps5 and with different headphones. I even went as far as buying an android tv box because i wanted to be a good boy and watch it legit, but that didn’t work out either, cause the box started getting slow and it would randomly exit the app in the middle of watching a show. So in the end i gave up and started pirating. Their service was so awfull that i saw no other option, which is kind of insane when you think about it. And now i can watch it in my player of choice, and properly fullscreen it on my ultrawide display.

XLibre claiming to be apolitical is hilarious when their readme sounds like it’s written by a MAGAt. Never touching that project that’s for sure.

Also pretty sure that stuff about the founder is bs, unless you can back that up with a source. From my understanding he ended up stepping down because he was already putting more attention into determinate nix, which was causing friction.

Why?

Just makes it sound like whoever wrote this is projecting, considering what the NixOS project is actually facing.

I’ve considered it, but i like nix better than scheme, and i need non-free software and kernel, which is doable with non-guix but much more tedious with third party iso’s. I went back to Void linux but i still use nix + home manager, and the huge repo alone wins out for me.

I mean yeah, if you ask a fascist how they feel about fascism, they probably don’t think it’s a big deal.

That’s awesome. Not a fan of using upscaling tech generally but since they keep trying to improve it, i might give this a try on my 6950xt out of curiousity.

I prefer editing in the terminal, but when it comes to gui editors i’ve heard a lot of good things about kate and geany.

Dang, i knew this was gonna be problematic, but i thought it might’ve been fixable with an elogind type of approach. I don’t use gnome myself, but it definitely sucks if you’re someone who likes using gnome but doesn’t want to use systemd. I’m a Void user myself, so i’m interested in seeing if the Void team ends up making the same decision as Artix.

I recently bought my first mechanical keyboard, after having used my razer for 8 years, and i was looking into different keycaps, but i ended up having a hard time finding a good keycap set that is of good quality, and that i also liked in terms of colors, and has a super key or something like that. The keycaps that i ended up settling on didn’t have a super key, so i just ended up putting the windows menu key on the super key, so that it atleast looks a bit more generic than the actual windows key. It’s too bad they’re hard to find, but i guess it makes sense since there is probably very little demand for it. Another idea is to maybe put a sticker on it or something.

Well, if it was used to prolong the life of your gpu it would be nice, but unfortunately it seems to be mainly used by devs so that they don’t have to optimize their games, so the end result is people with new gpus get blurry crap, and the older gpus get left behind all the same.

Are you using any custom launch options? I’ve had this happen sometimes when i tried running a game with gamemode, but then it turned out my gamemode was broken, and when that happens it doesn’t start your game at all and it just stops immediately after gamemode exits with an error.

Year of the linux phone?

I’ve personally always been of the opinion that it’s great to have so many different options, and i also never understood why people get so stressed about choosing a distro. You can always switch to something else later if you find something better, but first you need to find out your likes and dislikes about a distribution to begin with. Pewdiepie said in his linux video “just pick one!”, and that’s how i went about it as well. When i saw an LTT video about trying linux instead if windows 11, they recommended PopOS, so that’s what i chose. Ended up trying a bunch of different ones later, and as of right now i’m on Void linux.

Good old nano is something i use a lot, although i am considering finally giving micro a try, heard a lot of good things about it, and i want something with a bit more features in the terminal, but i really hate vim keybinds. I also really like rmpc, which is an mpd client with album art support, though i am not using it anymore at the moment because i realized mpd wasn’t really what i was looking for when it comes to music players.

Edit: also want to mention cyanrip. Really good cli cd ripper with a lot sane defaults, easy to use, and in terms of accuracy probably the closest thing to EAC on windows.

s-tui is also great. It’s a tui stress testing utility. I still use it every now and then even if it’s just to test if my fan curve is actually working by putting some load on the cpu.
