EndeavourOS

Even for beginners it’s got a fantastic starting layout and default packages, but it’s still basically “just Arch Linux” where it counts so you get the best of both worlds.

When did they learn about it? Where your proof?

Watch the video.

Yeah I also use KDE on my desktop, though I have my laptop running QTile because the tile hotkeys are much more convinient than navigating with the trackpad.

Ever considered trying out a tiling window manager?

You are also not indicative an entire category of potential new users. You are also clearly not the majority who I am referring to, no need to take it personally.

Right, but the fact of the matter is you can do most things on any distro, it’s very rare that any one distros is “really for” anything specific. They’re not all that different to one another at the end of the day, and to a new user potentially paralyzed by choice this site doesn’t really help either.

Sometimes it’s much easier to say “here’s 3 that offer the most stable new experience, try them out.” And afterwards if you get really tech savvy then go down the niche distro-hopping rabbit hole.

More distros is certainly a good thing, but most new linux users don’t even know what they’re looking for or would even get to the technical depth where the difference between any two distros would actually matter to their daily use. Even more so with the current migration of gamers onto Linux.

Any clue if this one addresses the impending 6.6 Kernel changes in response to how Nvidia was breaking the license?

They were already scanning every message and DM for data tracking and whatnot to sell anyway, the only difference now is they’re using it for TOS violations.

Privacy-wise nothing has changed, but actual consequences for actually bad things like racism / transphobia / csam / etc. is good. The only real issue is what if they decide that sharing a music file is piracy and now your account is penalized? What about uploading an NES ROM to a friend via a DM? Or sharing a link to an anime piracy website?

It’s the kind of thing that has to be a balance between making sure users aren’t doing stuff that is strictly against Discord’s rules, but also about making a good-faith attempt to limit things that can get Discord themselves in trouble from companies who are becoming more and more aware that Discord has been used as a piracy-safe haven for quite some time now. (Like how they’re limiting their “using discord upload URLs like your own CDN” issue last month.)

I will never let myself live down the stupidity and shame of falling for their bullshit not once, but twice. I’m ~$150 poorer thanks to my impressionable college-brain thinking their “complete in a few years” line back in 2014 was even remotely possible.

“highly configurable” and “very little effort to start using” don’t blend together […] Arch because they’re the standard for “highly configurable” but they really demand some effort to start using them.

Then they should just use Endeavour, it’s literally just arch with some nice QOL packages to start.

Do you have a link to that? sounds amazing

massive props to VH, it’s an awesome modpack, though getting started can be brutal depending on how lucky you are with your seed.

My exact solution to this on Endeavour was to just stop using flatpaks lol.

Literally everything I used from flathub was also either on the AUR or trivial to install manually from the host GitHub.

I don’t think they meant the hacked and released source code, I think they meant the kernel modules that Nvidia actually opensourced in may of '22

so the issue gets the attention it deserves.

The other best way to do this is to actually submit the issue in the appropriate location so the Lemmy devs can track and respond to it.

It’s been 7 hours, it can’t be that hard to make a github account and format this post into an actually helpful github issue.

Not sure if you just misread the commands or not, but that’s a pretty different usecase than what they’re describing.

This is the leat surprising information anyone could have told me about working for LTT/LMG. Time and time again, tech jobs and game dev jobs in workplaces run by “old internet edgelords” always (always) results in shit like this.

How does Amberol hold up with libraries in the high thousands? So many nice looking music played keep struggling with my music folders.

Really makes me miss Winamp sometimes.

I don’t know enough about the specifics to say whether or not it’s something that would be useful upstream. It’s possible that it’s just their unique combination of software & hardware that makes it work the way it does.

I’m sure someone in their Matrix server could offer more insight.
