julianh,

Someone else pointed out that he actually apologized for being toxic sometimes and took some time off as a kernel maintainer because of that. Nice to see.

julianh,

The idea of free software is extremely socialist/communist. People working together to create something that anyone can use for free, with profit being a non-existent or at least minor motivator.

julianh,

I don’t think we disagree. Just thought it was interesting how closely FOSS ideas match those of communism and socialism, even though a lot of people probably don’t view it that way.

julianh,

You can support communist/socialist policies without being a tankie. Most rational leftists do. And yeah, if you support FOSS you support a socialist idea. Same if you support public healthcare, public education, or libraries.

julianh,

It’s a parody of stuff like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCRzng7LsQI

julianh,

That’s just the full “official” name for the cello.

julianh,

If you did this with the doctor who wiki you’d probably be clinically insane.

julianh,

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this basically just better error reporting? It’s not like it’s gonna crash more often, it will just actually show log info if something catastrophic happens.

julianh,

You’ll definitely need this: github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

Gnome is probably the best with touchscreens. I had issues with Ubuntu though so you probably want something more up to date, like fedora or arch.

julianh,

Well the tearing fixes would definitely help.

julianh,

The single line “I fell asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter in my grandmother’s journal” is worthy of it honestly. I don’t think any other sequence of 12 words can evoke anything close to the emotional rollercoaster I felt when that sentence was spoken.

julianh,

Vital is… well, vital. There’s also a huge collection of basic effects for Linux here: lsp-plug.in

I also use a lot of windows vsts though yabridge.

julianh,

I use it for spitfire labs, ott, and delay lama (very important) and all work great. There are occasional crashes when messing with parameters, but usually those don’t happen more then once. I haven’t noticed any performance issues.

julianh,

Vital is a vst similar to Serum, a pretty popular paid vst. It has a bunch of preset sounds but offers a lot of options for effects and automation to design your own sounds. I use it a ton personally and get a lot of range from it.

julianh,

How would the distro tell if the tar.gz is a program or just a bunch of compressed files? I tend to use tar files for compression rather than for distributing or installing software

julianh,

Maybe it was originally but I kind of enjoy being rickrolled. I get to listen to a cool song.

julianh,

You mention the community in your post

For example @lemmyshitpost

julianh,

I’ve been using fedora on a surface go 3 and it’s been a good experience - auto rotate works and osk mostly works. In general Gnome seems to be the best DE for touchscreens, especially if you use it in tablet mode a lot. You’re gonna at least want something up to date and probably using Wayland, so I wouldn’t go with mint.

One option is to use something like Fedora or Arch for both PCs, but use a different desktop environment (gnome on the 2-in-1, kde on the desktop).

Best Linux Distro for a tablet?

Been wanting to put Linux on my Surface Pro 7, but when i tried it with Ubuntu, it didn’t work as well as I’d like. I used the Surface driver kernel, but Ubuntu wasn’t really good with touch. It couldn’t give a pop up keyboard (only showed up when logging into my account, but never beyond that). Sometimes it wouldn’t...

julianh,

This is mostly down to desktop environment rather than distro, but I had the same experience as you with gnome on Ubuntu, and switching to fedora it was a lot better. Still some problems with the on-screen keyboard but it at least works. I guess having a more up-to-date version of gnome helps, or ubuntu’s additions to gnome mess with it.

I haven’t tried KDE but I’ve heard it’s been getting better touch support, so it might be worth trying out too.

julianh,

Dukat really had a mental breakdown and then came back suddenly to tell kira that he fucked her mom

julianh,

Neuroscientists are just brains that talk about brains to other brains.

julianh,

Pretty good, although I never used it with windows so I don’t have a comparison. But it easily survives a day of notetaking and some coding, it usually gets down to 20% by the end of the day. Suspend works great, I’ve had it last for multiple days without losing much battery at all.

julianh,

I got the i3 version and performance is great for what I use it for (notes, programming, and web browsing). Gnome runs really smooth.

julianh,

Is it GPU accelerated?
