  • New distros get a lot of crap, but often they are solving a need for someone.

    Take Windowmaker Live: ostensibly it’s just Debian + Windowmaker. I have seen comments saying why not just install WM on Debian? By asking that question, it’s clear the asker hasnt tried recently. There is a lot to configure, and there are lots of usability papercuts.

    A custom distro allows someone to fix those problems for themself, and share those fixes with others. It’s not fragmentation, it’s just FOSS.

    Found Brendan Eich’s sockpuppet :)

    A conservative can’t be a Christian, and vice versa. Jesus was absolutely clear: He cares as much about the sex of who you sleep with as He does about the fabric of your underwear. Hatred is never justified.

    Homophobia is a plenty good reason not to use a browser. Eich is an unscrupulous person at best, and his name leaves a stink on any project he is involved with. Unsurprising that Brave has decided to embrace the crypto fad and is moving towards becoming an ad platform.

    Brave is a scammy project founded by a scummy person. I’m not sure FOSS development can fix that as long as he is in charge.

    it’s vegetal, slightly sour, and can have a nice texture. Flavor like green beans but fresher and better tasting. Nopales + beans + salsa make excellent vegetarian tacos. They are also great added to meat tacos and the acidity means you can skip the lime (or not)

    the trick is to cook the shit out of them. When you cook them, they release a goopy mucus that burns in the pan. most restaurants (at least near me) stop when they turn translucent. this gives them a slimy texture i don’t care for.

    i recommend continuing to cook the until all the mucus burns off and you have nice non-slimy bits. taste and texture are much better this way IMO. i have heard you can get the same or better results grilling on an open flame, but i haven’t tried that yet.






  • This game is buggy on Windows, moreso on Linux.

    I get memory leaks when playing for longer than an hour. My pc has 48gb of memory, and i’ve caught gw2.exe taking over 10gb by itself after a long session. This has happened to me on multiple distros and machines. If you let it continue it eventually crashes the game

    That said, it’s pretty playable. You can just reboot your pc when you are done.

    You should try to figure out what’s going on with Ubuntu. Maybe try a different proton version, or try using proton-GE. You could also look at Lutris and either use that or copy the relevant flags they are using to your launch options in Steam.

    I play (not often) on Fedora just using steam. My gpu is AMD. No big issues except the memory leak.

    It also very well could still be a driver issue. Driver installation is a bit different on Linux vs Windows, perhaps something wasnt enabled or configured properly.
