What’s wrong with it? It’s very clear in my opinion.
Mereo is a sociologist who is also a nerd. He believes in open-source software.
I transferred to this instance from https://lemmy.world. My previous profile: https://lemmy.world/u/Mereo

Sound advice. During my first year of computer science, one of my professors told me that programming languages are just a tool to solve a problem. The logic to solve it is the key. Whether it’s Java, Python, Go, etc. If you don’t know how to tell the computer what to do, you can’t program anything in any language.
I like to think of instances as countries. Each instance has its own rules and culture, and that affects how the communities are moderated. For example, the beehaw.org instance is heavily moderated compared to lemmy.world. Continuing with our example, the Technology community on beehaw.org will be moderated differently than the Technlology community on Lemmy.world.
So each instance has its own reason for existing. Another example will be https://lemmynsfw.com/ which is an 18+ instance. Basically, when you register in an instance, you become a citizen of that country.
So in summary, each instance has its own rules, its own policies, its own culture, and the moderators of the community that is that instance are bound by them. So unixporn@lemmy.world is not the same as unixporn@lemmy.ml.
It’s really unfortunate. Multi-monitor VRR is a must as I’m a gamer and I’d like my second monitor to be active when I’m playing, so I can use Discord and browse game guides, for example. I think I’ll continue to buy AMD graphics cards until this issue is resolved.
Which is why I ask people one simple question: do they plan to game. If they plan to game, I don’t recommend them Mint. If they aren’t, I recommend them Mint.
I think you meant to answer OP.
Indeed. Nouveau simply does not have the gaming performance of Nvidia’s proprietary driver.
Are you into gaming? If not, then it is perfectly fine to run the nouveau driver.
Many people are not activists like Richard Stallman. Perhaps it’s better to run libre software, but it’s perfectly reasonable to also run proprietary software.
For example, I switched to Linux when I could run proprietary games on Proton.
Excellent explanation. Thank you
As I understand it, Haiku is not based on BeOS, but is an open source re-implementation of BeOS, just as Linux is not based on Unix, but Unix-like: https://www.osnews.com/story/24945/a-programmers-introduction-to-the-haiku-os/

Rationality is out of the window. Ideology is the new religion. They don’t want to become “socialists” even though they don’t know what it truly means.
OP said he didn’t want to waste his time. Arch is not like Ubuntu. It requires you to RTFM (and Arch documentation is excellent) and know what you are doing and be willing to learn from your mistakes. That takes time and dedication. I went with what OP said.
I love to deal with problems but I don’t want to waste my time.
Then Arch is not for you. The distro requires you to always be informed of the latest news regarding Arch before upgrading so you’ll probably have to admin your system.
If you’re not ready to do that then you should probably stay with Fedora.
My suggestion: run arch in a virtual machine and get familiar with it before installing it.

Are you talking about ext4 or BTRFS?

I disagree. My partition is ext4, but Timeshift saved my ass when an upgrade went wrong. I just had to restore the system from a previous snapshot taken before the upgrade.
More detail is good for technical users, but extremely confusing for non-technical users. There needs to be a balance between what’s good for both groups, and I think the current design is a good one.
