is this issues with encode/decode? it was finicky to set up on my nvidia setup as well, and getting Firefox to work with it was another nightmare

I think Ubuntu has a lot of influence in industry

I think the biggest thing about itunes is that it can be used to write music to iphones and do OS restores, I couldn’t get the usb functionality to work with wine so I just use it in a vm personally

the deGPLification of the Linux ecosystem ffs

there should be a keepass+syncthing package available for normal people to use, i put keepass and syncthing on all my devices and that means I don’t have to host a server while always having my password vault synced

make it as easy for yourself to reinstall as possible

yeah because half of them are 1234

i think this is all about configuring the lsp server (e.g. clangd in the case of c), pretty sure you can get it working with kate

try searching up what SGX is

yeah no fucking way they’re respecting user privacy. data up to the server and down to the client is encrypted with https anyway so I really don’t see a point in the e2ee

every popular mainstream YouTuber seems kinda bad tbh

i mean you can do it in a windows vm or something

i mean you have to “use the command line” for the arch installer i guess, but it’s literally just typing “archinstall” and then having a TUI pop up where you can graphically set the install options and start the installation

is manjaro seriously that much easier than stock arch installed via archinstall?

isn’t Linux Unix-like?

idk gaming on arch works ootb on the 4 computers I’ve tried on, I’ve had no issues with it so far except when I tried to try some really experimental things with my gpu drivers. Every game I’ve tried works fine, and things like Steam and Lutris work just as well as on other distros.

also the archinstall TUI script comes with the installer and does the installation for you.

I’m honestly kinda tired of people making out arch as difficult/brittle without having tried it properly, it probably comes from the community latching onto the overused joke of “i use arch btw”, and so wanting to view arch as inferior in some way because they don’t want to be associated with the imaginary stereotypical arch user that doesn’t actually exist.

It’s probably also compounded by beginner arch users wanting to seem superior and above the others, so they present arch as something only them with their superior intellect could ever handle.

arch just works in my experience.

they just said they’re proficient with linux in their post, did you read it?

the thinkpad E/L series are also kinda gnarly

if you are comfortable enough with cli and Linux you should try arch for the desktop, it’ll be probably easier in the long run because games are fussy and you can refer to the wiki and use the AUR

in the future if you want to do this again qpwgraph might be a easier way to do it
