  • The problem is that you're trying to do shit like if you were still on windows. Linux doesn't really have startup applications, we use daemons for everything that needs to start with the OS, everything else is meant to be launched manually.

    However you can still do what you're asking for, and it'll depend on the DE not the distribution. Ubuntu and Pop OS use gnome that has an option to set startup programs in gnome tweaks.

  • Weird that they'd actively block higher resolutions on linux, it certainly doesn't stop their shit from getting pirated in windows.

  • No DRM Protection means no HD, High bit rate streaming

    Is that actually a thing? Firefox has a drm button toggle and prime worked fine last time I used it.

  • poorly written code and tight code

    This is where you guys lose me, it's just code that not optimized for size and that's because most people don't give a shit about that. People want want their 4k assets, their localization, their accessibility features, their application to run on any device... All this comes at a cost. You want to change things, that's fine, but start by understanding why things are the way they are because shitting on developers won't get you anywhere.

  • Size doesn't matter much when you have SSDs that read upwards of 5000mb/s. It's why we're seeing an advent of web-based apps despite them being woefully inefficient, and why games regularly go above 100gb. The reason file size gets so large is that assets can take up a lot of space and they come with plenty of libraries that they just have to bundle. These "small size" software optimize for size at other costs, like speed, asset quality, development time... Reducing file size is just not relevant anymore and if anything you should be wary of software that do it.

    Interesting phishing attempt? Or something else?

    Jump

  • Firefox knows the difference though, it won't pull your passwords or login cookies. But yeah, it's very easy to fall for phishing attempts, I just never click on anything sent in a mail to be safe.

  • Linux has reached 2.32% in Steam Hardware Survey for May 2024

    Jump

  • Does it matter where it comes from though? Do you think regular folks are like: "i'm gonna play on my WINDOWS MACHINE"? They just use whatever came pre-installed.

  • What are the differences between the 'base' of various Linux distributions?

  • Arch is designed to take up your free time by making you build everything from scratch

    That's a weird take, arch provides repositories ootb and is meant to be used with pacman, you're maybe confusing with gentoo?

  • I've had librewolf specific bugs absent in firefox, definitely not a strict upgrade.

  • Ami-es francophones, combien de temps passez-vous à table?

    Jump

  • P.-S. J'ajouterais que le sentiment de satiété arrive trop tôt lorsqu'on mange lentement et du coup tu as faim une heure après le repas. Mais ça c'est mon impression personnelle.

    C'est plutôt l'inverse normalement, manger lentement permet de mieux contrôler la quantité que tu manges et laisse le temps à ton corps de digérer. Fais gaffe a pas confondre faim et soif, c'est très facile de les entremêler et la plupart des gens boivent pas assez.

  • Noob question about wine

    Jump

  • You really want to deal with wine through another layer like lutris if you're new to wine. Lutris doesn't just bring a different wine version, it brings environment variables, dxvk... Wine alone does not work well, it needs to be setup.

  • It's little grievances that eventually pile up and one day you'll just have had enough and switch.

  • Tips on distro for gaming

    Jump

  • It's more complicated than that, distros typically have specific patches for packages and they assume you're running a particular kernel version. By running another kernel version you're going into unsupported territory. Yeah you can do that, and it'll probably be fine, but using another distro that actually supports the edge kernel is less risky and takes a few less clicks.

  • Tips on distro for gaming

    Jump

  • They do. Linux mint is great for office work and opening firefox. If you want a gaming distro i'd use something closer to the edge like fedora / endeavour os.

  • The Mac vs. PC war is back on?

    Jump

  • Is that actually a windows thing though? I know i can set up that shit in the mobo's bios, from turning on the computer at specific times to keeping the peripherals on when shutdown.

  • Looking for a distro to dual boot with Win 11

    Jump

  • Supposedly Windows can mess with the linux bootloader if it's on the same drive, i never had it happen back when i still dual booted. Reinstalling the bootloader isn't too hard though if it ever does happen.

  • Issue for GTK to make their window decorarions clickable at the corner

    Jump

  • It's really a design decision. Gnome's corners don't have infinite size because you can grab the window by clicking anywhere on the topbar including in fullscreen. It creates exceptions in the design, why should the close button expand to the corner but not the others? If the close button is too small to click on, that's another issue entirely.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11

  • Works fine here, on mutter with mesa. Looks mostly like a KDE bug.
