  • Sounds about right.

    Jump

  • +1 on Tiny11 and you can make your iso through winutil too, making it easier.

  • Removed

    Can't relate at all.

  • Not THAT far. But 32GB RAM is getting more common, though I haven't heard of many people using 64, let alone more than that.

    Also, storage is usually not that extreme, though multiple terabytes are also getting more common on the higher end.

    Just this month, I upgraded to 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD so it isn't that extreme for most people.

    CPU and GPU - wise, most people aren't running the best of the best, and there are still plenty of people using 10-series Nvidia GPUs, with most people seemingly using 20-series or 30-series GPUs, (and usually not the best cards for these generations)

  • Sounds about right.

  • Here's my advice for Installing Windows:

    1. When getting an ISO from M$, select "English International" even if you're in the US, to avoid a lot of bloatware.
    2. Use Chris Titus' Winutil. It's open source and really easy to use.

    Personally, I try to mainly use locally hosted Open Source LLMs, and mostly for research purposes.

  • Windows? Never heard of her.

    Jump

  • In terms of usability, it certainly can be. It's a UNIX system, and you can easily set up a tiling WM and get an experience similar to Linux, with homebrew, neovim, terminals, etc.

    You're also not dealing with the typical adware from Windows.

  • Recommend me a distro?

    Jump

  • In my experience, these 2 are the endgame for distrohoppers. You either end on Tumbleweed or on Fedora. I ended up on Fedora personally, but they are both great in tgeir own ways.

    By "the endgame", I mean that's what ends their distrohopping.

  • Fedora with Rust based COSMIC DE proposed

    Jump

  • I was playing with COSMIC on Fedora since mid-May, or around 3 months before the first alpha. It's been pretty solid for me though there are still bugs and missing features. I see why they'd want it for F42, but I'm just not sure if System76 can have Epoch 1 released in time for that. They still have Alpha 5 by the end of December, Alpha 6 planned for the end of January, and maybe 2 or 3 betas before release. So We could only have Epoch 1 (first full release) End of March (or even later), which I'd say would leave too little time for extensive testing to meet Fedora's standards. Just because I've barely had issues on my fairly standard setup doesn't mean that others haven't been plagued by issues. So my take on it is I want it to happen, but I'm not sure if it can happen for F42, so maybe the contingency plan to delay to F43 might be a better idea, but ultimately only time will tell.

  • Interesting distro to try, or to try again

    Jump

  • Here's a cool idea: uBlue and specifically Bazzite. And should it not be entirely to your liking, you can always build a custom ublue image!

  • Interesting distro to try, or to try again

    Jump

  • I've tried it and while it's a cool concept, I didn't have a need for it, and the system felt more unstable (even though I don't think it really was).

  • Interesting distro to try, or to try again

    Jump

  • Hey, I used Void and had a great time with it, I loved the speed of xbps and acter I got used to it, the minimal nature of runit felt lile a breath of fresh air (which feels weird in retrospect, as I've never had any issues with systemd). The only problem I had (other than getting used to xbps and runit) was pipewire. As I was using a tiling WM, I couldn't figure out what was happening and why, but I was having serious issues with pipewire and wireplumber not working, until through trial and error I finally managed to fix it but by then I was already set on moving to Fedora (again). That was in April btw.

    TLDR: I'd recommend it. XBPS and Runit are new (and pretty good) and take a bit to get used to, but the thing that drove me away was pipewire issues.

  • We lost another real one.....

    Jump

  • You make a good point. I guess I didn't even think of that. Certainly likely.

    To be honest, there seem to be many stories of such content, but not so many of such people. And I find that quite interesting. So either they hide themselves well, or there are less of them but they distribute the content widely, or as you said, the gov is simply using it as an excuse.

  • COSMIC Alpha 4 Released For System76's Rust-Based Desktop

    Jump

  • At their self-imposed rates of 1 new Alpha at the last Thursday of every month, and assuming only 2 Betas, and assuming they can get Alpha 5 done in December, we're looking at the end of April for release, though I'd realistically expect Epoch 1 at the end of June or July, or maybe even after that.

    This is normal in Software Development.

    I know. I'm a CS student, but they are still in a pretty early stage of their project and don't have anywhere near the technical debt or size of projects like Plasma or GNOME, and as such, I think they should still be able to keep on going at a pretty fast pace.

  • COSMIC Alpha 4 Released For System76's Rust-Based Desktop

    Jump

  • So... there will be Alphas 5 and 6. And we got Alpha 4 a week late, compared to the old release schedule of the last Thursday of every month. And a lot of the things that were meant for Alphas 3 and 4 were pushed back. I hope that System76 doesn't encounter more features that push things back further (the way VRR seems to have done), for their own sake. That way, they can keep up a lot of hype around the Betas and the release of Epoch 1.

  • Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers)

  • Why is this so good, and so fitting lol? I'm not a MAGA person but I'd stand behind this interpretation of it, even as a non-American.
