Magnetic media is still king of price to capacity (Hard drives) and I literally do still record broadcast television on one of my linux boxes

• Fedora makes very minimal changes to downstream. The gnome experience on fedora is the experience the devs intended, for better or worse.
• It often experiments with new technologies. It was the first to ship pulseaudio out of box. And then again for pipewire. And if it wasn’t the first to install wayland by default, it probably was the first to stop shipping XOrg out of box.
• It doesn’t install snaps instead of native packages when you run rpm install
• It’s also Linus Torvald’s distro of choice if that’s worth anything

at 112 megabytes per instance that amounts to about 178 flatpaks. Which sounds pretty standard

Oh come on, mesa is only (checks) 112 megabytes!

you know what, carry on!

this is beautiful. I don’t drink coffee, but “I don’t need anything more” is my life ethos from everything to my IDE to the wooden backed kitchen chair I game on.

If you’re going to shill a corpo distro, at least shill a decent one like fedora.

The only thing funnier than the linux kernel supporting a filesystem who’s creator murdered their wife, is people confusing it with bcachefs.

'the linux kernel might be removing a filesystem'
"you mean the one who's developer murdered his wife?"
'no the one who's developer keeps ignoring kernel mailing list protocol'

this is a tomato that got buried in a landslide

1. gentoo
2. puppy
3. freebsd
4. um?
5. what?
6. macos

Glad to see it’s popularity is waning. Snap is the inferior universal package by many metrics and the steam snap in particular is very not ready for prime time.

You don’t comprehend just how easy it is to do GUI programming in Javascript. Like if C++ is a nunchuck and Bash is a cursed hammer and lisp is a shiv then when it comes to GUI programming Javascript is Vector’s control panel from dispicable me.

… yeah :-/

“hello fellow kids” moment

I hate electron apps. Just make a website asshole, don’t bundle a whole chrome browser! The only one I’ll tolerate is ferdium, because having a message control center is kinda neat.

The Chinese government owns all pandas. You cannot buy a panda, only rent it, and some of that rent goes to the CCP

Well at least they don’t need to pay rent to china

especially as the hack flows downriver to distros with actual dignity like mint. Like this is pollution of the water supply dog!

well at least they aren’t trying to make me install snaps, and patching apt so if I sudo apt install firefox it installs the snap version.

libaom is a fucking joke. SVT might be a memory hog, but as the proud owner of a system with enough memory to run it, I can proudly say my 1 minute video rendered in less than ten minutes and somehow had worse compression than x264

Wait, whot?

If most BSDs are running on the likes of AWS and azure (which wouldn’t surprise me) then it could well be true
