  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

  • Charge cycles tend to improve as technology and processes improve. Other sodium ion batteries started out similarly limited in cycles and have since basically matched lithium ion.

  • Yeah Manjaro either needs to figure their shit out or everybody should stop using it.

  • It kind of makes it hard to trust this distro when they fuck up the most basic things so often and frequently.

  • It's really infuriating how absolutely pants on head fucking stupid these people are.

    Seriously.... why do you dumb fucks give a shit what other people do amongst consenting adults? It's supposed to be "a free country", but these idiots keep curtailing freedoms while still claiming "freedom".

    Fuck. Off.

  • I don't love GNOME, but if you use it....whatever. Linux is all about choice and lack of lock-in.

    If you want to compile CDE from the 1990s and use it as your DE.....you do you honey boo boo.

    [EDIT]

    JFC apparent CDE is still around and had a stable release 2 months ago. Holy fucking case-in-point right there.

  • Sadly, no. Your best bet is Lineage without gapps. Aurora and F-Droid covers pretty much everything I use, so that's likely my move in the near future.

  • Firefox is ending support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, and users are urged to switch to Linux

    Jump

  • If you're interested in Linux, you can boot from it without installing to try it out. Nearly every distribution has a live boot option.

    As for differences, the entire OS is different, but with something like KDE, it's still very much "point and click". You don't need to be a programmer to use it. This is especially true if you run most things through a browser.

    The biggest disadvantage is program compatibility. Windows applications need translation layers for Windows apps to run on Linux and they don't always work. Many application makers, including people like Steam for gaming, have full Linux support (all of Valve's hardware like the Steam deck runs Linux).

    If you want to try it out in a non-live way with a "safety net", you can run a dual boot with both Windows and Linux and choose between them at boot. Or you can install Windows in a VM and run your Windows-specific programs until you find Linux alternatives.

    It's a bit of work, but it truly frees your PC. I made the switch from Windows to Linux first with a dual boot.....then only Windows for VR, and now I've got everything on Linux. I haven't booted into Windows on any of my PCs in 4+ years at this point and I couldn't be happier.

    That said, use what works for you. If that's Windows or MacOS, that's fine. Just know the advantages and disadvantages.

    I understand that it sucks to have your business ripped out from under you, in a way, by a public option, but people struggle to afford child care. This is a necessary and good for average Americans.

  • Valve Acknowledges Steam Deck Shortages Due To Global Memory and Storage Issues

  • Same here. I have an AM4 board with a 5800X that cost $110 and a 9060XT I got for $10 above MSRP. I was complaining I couldn't get it at MSRP back then, but now I'm not complaining anymore.

    Something tells me I won't be upgrading for a while.

  • Almost guaranteed a Flatpak thing. I know you said X11 versus Wayland was your issue, but likely some quirk of the two window managers was allowing it to work.

    Adding the drive path in Flatseal or installing non-Flatpak Steam would likely fix it.
