  • Which motherboard brands are the most libre and Linux friendly?

    Jump

  • Interesting, I've had 3 Gigabyte MOBOs and GPUs. One GPU died after 6 years, which is unfortunate, but seems reasonable. First MOBO is still going strong 10 years later. Have had no issues otherwise.

  • Well, for example, my MOBOs Ethernet requires the Realtek out of tree drivers (at least it still did on 6.11), which don't always compile on the current kernel. Ironically, the WiFi works fine.

  • imagine spending hours of coding, planing just to make it a chromium extension app in disguised

  • I suspect most of the resource usage is LSP plugins, so equivalently configured neovim should be about the same, really. If you use VSCode as a plain text editor, it does not use that much RAM.

  • Upstream Linux Developers Take Aim At TUXEDO's Out-Of-Tree GPLv3 Drivers

    Jump

  • Tuxedo is violating Linux's licence - driver modules use the kernel and therefore have to be released under a compatible licence. That's all.

  • There's a difference between source available and open source. For example, actually being allowed to distribute modified versions is pretty damn important:

    Restrictions

    • No Distribution of Modified Versions: You may not distribute modified versions of the software, whether in source or binary form.
    • No Forking: You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software.
    • Official Distribution: Only the maintainers of the official repository are allowed to distribute the software and its modifications.
  • Deleted

    • C# = Java (the language itself)
    • .NET (Core) = Oracle JDK (a runtime and std lib implementation for the language)
    • ASP.NET = Spring boot (the default web framework)

  • Getting varied download speeds in Qbittorrent?

    Jump

  • Make sure that port forwarding is actually working - on ProtonVPN the port allocated to you can change regularly and QBittorent's settings need to be updated accordingly. Easiest way to check is to click through your active torrents and check if any peer has the I (incoming) flag.

    If you have not set up something like this, port forwarding is probably not working: https://github.com/mjmeli/qbittorrent-port-forward-gluetun-server

    I would personally just run the plain script as a cronjob on the host though, to not rely on some random docker image.

  • Which CLI app/utility you wish there was a GUI for?

    Jump

  • Hmm, I might try to make that. Any particular feature you are looking for, or is just displaying all the events in a table good 'nuff?

  • Pacman v7.0.0 released

    Jump

  • The MSYS2 environment on Windows uses pacman as well.

  • GNU-Linux

    Jump

  • All the core tools are actually a single executable with many symlinks to it, which makes the distro very compact. This makes it very nice as a base for Docker images.

  • Some distros have editions with a WM (usually i3) as a default, yes. These editions tend to come with some basic config so it's more usable out of the box. But you can also install WMs side by side with DEs and then switch in the login manager (GDM, SDDM), just the same as you can install multiple DEs on a system. You could also install a headless version of a distro first and then install only the WM and whatever other tools you want on top of that. Basically all system settings can be changed through config files or CLI programs, for some things like audio and bluetooth there are good DE-independent settings programs like pavucontrol.

    You can also replace the WM built into KDE (kwin) with i3, for example, but that's pretty messy, IMO.

    As for advantages, WMs are usually very keyboard driven, you pretty much never have to touch the mouse. They also tend to be fairly light weight and use little RAM. My favourite i3 feature is that workspaces are per-monitor, so I could easily move multiple windows between monitors and not lose the way they are set up.

    As for disadvantages, changing any system settings tends to be a research project, because there is no centralized solution, it's even worse than Windows in this regard. Personally this is the main reason I switched back to KDE from i3. I could also never get theming to work quite right.

    Jump

  • WMs typically do not include stuff like a custom GUI for system settings and do not have a suite of GUI software associated with it (think Kate, Konsole, Dolphin etc) - it is just a piece of software for managing windows, you have to put the rest of the desktop together yourself.

  • It's fine with the beta driver, so still not fine by default.

  • I've seen enough blurry software on Windows to know this is not quite true 😅

  • Native games need to add client side decorations to be usable on Wayland Gnome. Currently most games just run in XWayland.

  • you don't need more 4GB of RAM

    Jump

  • I have no problems currently on my personal computer with 16GB. If RAM is ever an issue, you can always upgrade (especially if you leave slots empty). Plus RAM generally has a tendency to get cheaper over time, so why waste money now?
