I have the same and opposite issue.

Part of the reason that I am always using #linux is because so much of my workflow these days requires Linux, that when I play something like a #bethesda game (modding them is just less of a hassle on Windows) it just feels wrong and uncomfortable.

I have only really used upstream distros (specifically what I've used is debian, open suse, Arch, Gentoo, and nixOS). I've never had audio issues, except when I first started using Gentoo, as I was missing some compile flags.

That being said I only started using Linux 3 years ago.

@kmkz_ninja @OrnateLuna

I know people who use linux mint (or other distros that aim at user friendliness) who literally never have to touch the command line. This claim that you need to use the command line was true 5 years ago, but today it is largely false.

I am in a Linux User Group and I am literally the only person who uses a tiling window manager (I use hyprland) instead of DEs like kde, gnome, cinnamon, etc.

I think steam deck is usually considered linux.

Benefits to proton after all make it out to linux. ChromeOS and Android are more debatable, although Google does submit a lot of code upstream to the kernel.

I mean, python is named after Monty Python.

@zikk_transport2 @LastoftheDinosaurs

Assuming you're not joking, you have it the wrong way around. Gentoo is arch on steroids.

The shear amount of customization and raw power you have from from gentoo's use flags and how easy it makes it to compile a custom kernel is insane. On top of all that your system is insanely stable. If a package isn't in the repos, it's not difficult to package it. It is certainly way easier to write a gentoo ebuild over an arch build script.

You can get a hold of them via #eBay. Every now and then a business upgrades and floods the market.

One of these days I want to buy a whole bunch of them and build a #Beowulf cluster.

@mojo @Vuraniute

They justify their telemetry as it helps them to decide, "the best places to allocate dev time to improve the platform."

IMO, this info almost never necessary to help improve the platform. Usually if a feature isn't well used, it will get less dev time, ignoring the fact that it mght be less used because it isn't well implemented. The converse could also happen, they allocate dev time to a feature that isn't well used to try and make it more used, which might ignore the fact that it is quite frankly a useless feature.

@ShootBANGdang @Selmafudd

yeah, once one person comments it suddenly gets bumped to the front of active on lemmy...

@davidgro @AgreeableLandscape

Are you using hot or active? If you're using active it is because someone posted a comment, as it works via most recent comment instead of post date
