I really like librewolf. Does need some getting used to and actually learn to manage profiles (which it sadly remove the new profile browser for some reason?), but pretty great and “just works”

I did that once… Because a script I worked with was hardcoded for it and was distributed as a binary…

Personally I’ve come to hate main because it breaks habits easily. I’m working 75% of the time on master repos, but then I might need to do a quick edit on a main repo and suddenly my git checkout master doesn’t work.

Or even copy pasting scripts from one project to another can easily break if you forget to change the branch

The reason behind the change is pretty stupid anyway (I’m against slavery but it shouldn’t be treated like a slur still)

Steamos is a great introduction… If you touch desktop mode of course.

Personally I recommend Linux mint, or even KUbuntu or Cinnamon Ubuntu (gnome is not meant for windows refugees so better not show it yet)

*Except for beginners

Try a beginner distro, and when you’re done with the tutorial, go ahead and install your arches or nixes, IDC

The only driver I need is the proprietary NVidia drivers, but you need to do it on Windows as well so… Eh

You may want to tell your friend to check it now!

Apt: get whatever is in the cached package list

Apt-get: lookup the package to see the latest version and get that one

Unless you always apt update, apt-get is the go to choice for modern day Linux

There’s also the apt-apt command, who triggers any audiophile to start complaining about mainstream music quality these days

You guys managed to run it?!

Personally I always used my leftover windows partition to update Genshin, then use steam to run the .exe

What game do you play though? Kinda curious if honkai 3rd is finally running on linux

Well true but that ain’t native.

Also, great exemple: blender launcher. I work with multiple versions of blenders, and it’s a must have.

I was more interested in using it as a server os, so I used it for mine… But would go to a classic Debian as soon as I need to rebuild the whole os due to some breakage. As a docker box? It’s fine.

Flatpaks are actually mutable. Appimage no idea.

Until you realise that you need to learn a whole programming language to run one executable outside of the package repos

I do respect nix, but it ain’t for me

Nix os is on the fence tho. It is immutable, but got hot reload so…

Yay?

Depends on what distro you used. What’s the distro, driver version and graphic card did you try?

I don’t think so? It comes preinstalled with nouveau, but also offer some proprietary drivers. But the latest need the Ubuntu ppa

Hey! I had the same issue on my RTX3070! What you need is to install the latest Nvidia driver. Those are not available by default and requires you to add the Ubuntu PPA, then you are able to switch with the driver manager gui

Me too. (And when the author gets a chill pill)

It also happens on fedora but to a lesser extent (somehow). It’s all hidden under the Wayland session process

It’s always when I’m using my dedicated GPU, so I guess it’s the driver being fucky.

I have an oddball graphic card so might happen only on it
