Not the best quality, but still easily enjoyable on Eternity Nightly

A typical Linux distro, especially lightweight and simpler ones like Arch, will of course be better than a bloated OS, like Pop or Windows. The only problem with Linux distros might be the choice of tools - X and AMD will work much better overall than Wayland and Nvidia.
Just that many people may have an Nvidia GPU before deciding to use Linux, and some people just prefer to use Wayland over X for literally everything else.

My PC with Wayland + Nvidia has so many problems with gaming, especially flickering and performance, while my Laptop with Wayland + integrated Intel graphics has no problems at all - even in games, that I wonder if Nvidia + Wayland still really sucks ass or if my GPU is just broken. Currently there’s a bug where frames are ‘switched’ somehow, so it’s not Frame 1, Frame 2, … Frame n, but Frame 1, Frame 3, Frame 2, Frame 5, Frame 6, Frame 4 etc.
I expect it to be fixed by an update of nvidia in the future, but there are always such bugs.

I played around with scaling a bit, but removed the commands in my sway config afterwards. I do have different screen resolutions tho.

We never had any toys or anything for our cat. Her toys were the mice etc. outside, she loved to hunt. Running and hunting outside is a lot more interesting for them anyway.
No beds etc. inside, she either had couches/arm chairs in basically all rooms and the bed of someone to sleep.

I love how Germans mastered laughing at suffering, with Schadenfreude, and Americans did everything else.

But a restart of an app should fix it.

One would just need to modify the pacman cache hook for yay. I’m too lazy tho.

So basically the Dunning Kruger effect.

My father was lucky, I wanted a minecraft server so bad that I accepted to learn how to handle an Ubuntu Server, with ~10 years.
Then I kinda had my edgy hacking phase with 12, and installed Kali as dual boot.
As my Windows install got older, dirtier and buggier, I decided to just f it and installed Pop over everything.

So, get them to be interested in having/doing something requiring Linux, then show them the wonders of the Linux desktop, preferably not Kali, but something more user friendly, and finally wait till they want to reinstall for whatever reason, like a new PC (with AMD or Intel GPU).

On the other hand: Why not?

I just copied my whole root partition to a new Laptop over netcat. It still has close hardware (Intel CPU, no extra GPU, etc.), but some differences in interfaces etc.

Things one might have to consider:

  • /etc/fstab will need to be redone
  • All interfaces changed, so network configs may need to be updated
  • Other programs relying on hardware or paths that don’t exist anymore need to be updated (eg. conky did not work due to i8k being not supported, other interface ids etc.)

But literally nothing that would break anything. Because Arch is usually installed manually, one knows what needs to be cared for, what could break or could cause certain issues.

Why would I see leather when googling GIMP? I only associate gimp with the FOSS GNU Image Manipulation Progrsm

30p87,

Kagi still put gimp.org as a search result for “gimp suit”.

But I’m very surprised I didn’t know this meaning of gimp, thanks!

There’s much phobia here, notably Windowsphobia and Applephobia, also known as Scamphobia.

To be fair, Signal, Threema and Discord use Electron, and therefore are just crappy bullshit on Wayland.
Using a dedicated FF instance uses less RAM, CPU and disk space, and gives you more control over the application/website.

Discord has a web version, even if it doesn’t support some features, so I use it in FF. WhatsApp has a web version, so I use it in FF.
Signal does not. So it’s barely usable on my Nvidia desktop.
We do not need ““native”” Applications, made with a mix of a web version and a D tier browser engine, if we could just use the already installed, better and perfectly working browser.

  • Discords Electron was outdated and vulnerable for years, FF would be patched in days or hours in case of a zero day.
  • Electron uses much more resources than FF. Because every company thinks they need a custom version of electron, every app brings its own bloaty electron environment, despite there being a system one.
  • Electron/Chromium is extremely buggy on Wayland + Nvidia, to the point I cannot use Spotify, Discord or Steam correctly.

I’d guess many distros would’ve had errors with preinstalled and configured helpers. Debugging them would be a pain

Gentoo, LFS, Arch etc. are installed manually, so one typically knows their system very well, including packages and configs they might have to hard configure interfaces etc. in

I just noticed I did not fully expand the fs on the target machine after shrinking it on the source machine to be sure it fits. No problem, growing ext4 file systems with resize2fs (indirect dependency of linux and base) works on mounted fs’ too, the Kernel just needs to be newer than 2.6 (so since 2003).
Took less than 1 second and works flawlessly, live. Conkys fs_free just jumped from 20 to 76. Still time to clear my caches.
