  • RIP Windows: Linux GPU gaming benchmarks on Bazzite (Gamers Nexus)

    Jump

  • All my experiences with amd gpus have been fantastic, their drivers work beautifully and when they have even a slight issue it's been problems with protocols adoption and whatnot, never the driver.

    It's such a contrast to the dogshit experience I've had with all the nvidia gpus I use, I really can't think of a reason except cuda that a Linux user should get a nvidia device.

    I hope when the people adopting Linux now start building their next pc demand for nvidia noticeably shrinks. Or maybe they'd be bankrupt by then because of the ai bubble crash

  • Does switching motherboard require a reinstall?

    Jump

  • probably not, I move SSDs between computers all the time and linux always just works

    very different story for windows installations though 🤮

  • Waydroid on Mint or replace Mint?

    Jump

  • Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again?

    Jump

  • yeah i mean ofc if you also put everyone in the world that that datacentre is serving in a human datacentre, I'm sure it'd also consume tons of power (in food)

  • Solved: Switching from Windows, but slightly convoluted

    Jump

  • is winboat and Winapps basically the same thing?

    also that's definitely not going to have adequate performance, you'd need something like looking glass and that requires a spare gpu or sriov/gvt-g. it's probably easier to set up with a standalone vm

  • that might be true, but no one learns calculus in a ball pit

  • Self-Hosters Confirm It Again: Linux Dominates the Homelab OS Space

  • iirc Netflix or something uses bsd

  • to my expierence

    Jump

  • yeah it does really feel plasticky in the worst way

  • Linux Hardening Guide / Linux is Insecure

    Jump

  • security you don't understand is security you don't have. windows' exploit mitigations don't work because the average user doesn't understand them and can easily be guided into disabling them.

    the weakest attack surface is the stupidity of the user and that's not gonna change however much you try to make your os secure

  • Solved: Switching from Windows, but slightly convoluted

    Jump

  • why not just wipe the ssd and put Linux on it? dual boot should work fine, and if you have problems with it you could post it here

  • Deleted

  • would be nice if they linked back to the study

  • Ok, how do you make a good linux media center pc?

    Jump

  • kde connect has a really good media controller/wii joystick mouse thing for your phone

  • Switch to a Fully free Operating System

    Jump

  • I don't really agree with the firmware baked in/firmware loaded at runtime distinction the fsf makes, so I don't really see the point of not using proprietary firmware wifi cards (like the Intel series), as awesome as ath9k can be

    depending on how you manage non-free js these distros are feasible for daily driving though

  • Switch to a Fully free Operating System

    Jump

  • i still wouldn't do it but gsp firmware and nvk makes it sorta feasible to game on nouveau

  • sorry i was a bit hungry 😋

  • Linus Torvalds is OK with vibe coding as long as it's not used for anything that matters

    Jump

  • important context:

    Regarding vibe coding, Torvalds described himself as "fairly positive" – but not for kernel development. Computers have become more complicated than when he learned to code and was "typing in programs from computer magazines." Vibe coding, he said, is a great way for people to "get computers to do something that maybe they couldn't do otherwise."

    This is despite the fact that vibe coding "may be a horrible, horrible idea from a maintenance standpoint."

  • Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server!

    Jump

  • if you have it always plugged in, the battery doesn't get any wear. I think it's a common misconception that it'd be "charged" and "discharged" at the same time, but that's just not how batteries work.

    It gets charged to the 100% mark once, and topped up to stay at 100% depending on the natural discharge of the battery.

    Jump

  • could run a syncthing server on it to sync your keepass db

  • Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server!

    Jump

  • yeah you could, depending on if it can run a mainline Linux vm or is supported by postmarketos

    you'd just need to port forward to your phone from the router and set up DDNS (if you don't have a public static ip). same thing as any other server.

    I'd highly recommend making the phone headless and controlling it though SSH from another device. it's way more ergonomic.

  • my entire phone server setup consumes less than 1W at idle :3

    and the "builtin UPS" lasts for a few hours
